Gotye is a music genius. If you know, you know. This was his commercial breakout song, and it's Pop-y but his discography is a wonderful bag of music. He plays many instruments. On this particular album, he played most of the instruments himself and used unconventional "instruments" which is so creative. I recommend you check out his music. I think you will like it!! He is definitely one of my favorite musicians.
Making Mirrors was such a good album, I was always baffled that no one would give any other track the time of day. If they liked this, why would they so actively reject the entire rest of the album?
This song is fire for sure! However, I’d love to see Kimbra’s music get more love or reactions too. She’s a great artist on her own and love her song “Settle Down”. Highly recommend.
Peter Gabriel was the Lead Singer of Genesis before Phil Collins stepped in after Peter left the group. My favorite Gabriel song (that you should hear) from his solo career is, Shock the Monkey.
Just FYI... there have been so many covers of this song, that Gotye, himself, put together a musical collage of it, and it's hysterical! Do a YT search for "Gotye - Somebodies: A RUclips Orchestra"
Wow. I have that song. Can’t believe someone is reacting to it. Some hard memories around it for me. I agree the video is great too. Thanks for getting into this one. 🇺🇸
YES!!! I don't know if we can convince him to do it, but the Walk Off the Earth version is 100% worth it. Goddamnit, now I'm gonna go through a day or two of watching the WotE video on loop, aren't I?
It certainly makes the link between Gabriel's voice & Gotye's voice extremely clear, and it's one of those "this changed the history of music videos" songs, too.
ngl I absolutely hated this song when it was playing on the radio nonstop but as I've gotten older and didn't have to hear it every 30 minutes, I've really grown to appreciate it. Really a gem that was partially ruined by radio companies. There was a point though that it was playing on 3 different radio stations at once and sometimes they'd synch up perfectly
It would have been nice had you acknowledged Kimbra's contribution to the song. The song launched her career while it signaled the end of his. Kimbra is a very eccentric performance artist and not especially main stream. That said I really enjoy all the places she takes her music. She is a complete musician who writes and arranges all of her music and choreographs all of her videos. Kimbra - Human (Official Music Video) ruclips.net/video/U98rZw78-iA/видео.html
You should really listen to the band Bon Iver (pronounced bone e-vair, it's French meaning Good Winter). The lead singer of the band, Justin Vernon, graduated from the same high school as my kids. His singing voice sounds a lot like Allen Stone. You could start with the song Skinny Love, then work your way through the rest of the songs off their first album (For Emma, Forever Ago). Later in the band's career, they also had Taylor Swift sing with Justin on their song Exile.

I love it!
At 6:53: "I've never heard this song."
Me thinking, "Just wait.
At 7:59 - the total look of shocked recognition!! 😆❤
Goat-ee-yay.
God ☝ 😇🙏
I'm 50 and only found this song recently. Gets stuck in your head!
Tremendous songwriting. It's crack to me.
This was song was on the radio and MTV literally ALL DAY LONG hahahahahaha
All day.
👍🔥

A song you will probably know that actually has a better live performance than any video it has had made is Phil Collins in the Air tonight, live .

No way! That's so cool that that's something he wanted to do! I'm definitely gonna go check at least some of it out!
great reaction
Please keep your stuff stripped down and let your reactions keep the music alive. Keep it real bro. You got soul my friend.
Wow. I have that song. Can’t believe someone is reacting to it. Some hard memories around it for me. I agree the video is great too. Thanks for getting into this one. 🇺🇸
This song is actually my ringtone lol
Now that you have reacted to this one you need to react to the cover of this song by a group called Walk Off The Earth!!
YES!!!
I don't know if we can convince him to do it, but the Walk Off the Earth version is 100% worth it.
Goddamnit, now I'm gonna go through a day or two of watching the WotE video on loop, aren't I?
I had never heard of that band or their cover of this song. I just watched it. WOW! Thanks for the recommendation.
@@sbonagof Yay, a new WOtE appreciator!
@@sbonagof My pleasure! They are probably the most creative band out there. Try "Hello" featuring Myles and Isaac just for fun!
Please react to the Live in the studio version of this..its amazing.
I knew you must of heard this song. I do that too, I don’t know the song until the chorus.
The paint coming off signifies that:
Either she is no longer in the picture
Or
She has taken herself out of the picture.
If you do dip into Peter Gabriel, Sledgehammer is a great starting point.

Goatie a
First he's naked and slowly getting painted and then she becomes to become human!
There are videos with isolated vocals, that I prefer to the full music. 🤷🏽♂️
This mother f***** straight fire bro, I'm just saying people are slipping. 🔥💪
When you pick a base, and you're banging on a xylophone. What the f*** Parliament P Funk ...

Go-T-A is pronunciation
TIL that song was not Sting!
Go-Tee i think?
Another breakup song. Both at fault. Two sides of the story.
I'm so glad you're reacting to this song. I think most people can relate to it in some form or fashion.
