      He wanted to be famous. He sent his demos to radio stations and producers, they didnt come looking for him. Thats how he became famous.
      Let you in on a little secret...Every musician wants to be famous. Thats why we join bands and try to get record deals. If it was just about the love of making music then we would all stay in the garage or basement and be satisfied. If you want to play in front of people and make a living doing it, theres only one way. Get famous.

    • @91clarie
      @91clarie 4 месяца назад +106

      @@LordoftheOzarks There is a difference between making a solid living out of your talent and having a stable, but relatively small fanbase and being Taylor Swift - style famous. Gotye never wanted the latter. The success of STIUTK was completely coincidental, it made him uncomfortable, so he decided to step out of the spotlight afterwards. He's still a musician and plays with his old band and lives a normal life in Melbourne, Australia. That's exactly what he wants and I love that for him.

      yes, the contrast is heightened here, because the whole thing almost has such a childlike quality to it. all the staccato sounds and the super simple chords. the little xylophone picking out the melody is like something you'd find in a kid's classroom. marry all that with the sad, heartfelt lyrics and it's instant melancholy.

While I certainly was no angel, I was so mentally and emotionally abused in that relationship, blamed for everything, yet codependently hanging on his every word and feeling hoping to make things better. I just couldn't live that way anymore. We tried being friends for a little while after the break-up, but after a while, I just couldn't. So, it's now been 17 years since I've seen or spoken to him. He's literally somebody that I used to know.

    Listened to it on repeat at the time of its release and still gives me those same goosebumps now. A stone cold classic.

    God, that was intense. Or is that just me? Every beautiful note their voices hit so perfectly whenever they got loud, felt like they meant it.

    Besides this being an iconic song, the delivery is so authentic. The pain is real.
