Hahaha this guy look really different with clothes on.
Rah
forreal
Oof
that's what she said
He looks younger
Gotye really forgot his youtube password
Gibby Requires coochie he is in a band
Gibby Requires coochie bruh, that shit made me ugly laugh
La Patata What is it called?
Homer Simpson the basics
i like your name... koalatea username. 11/10 would snort forcefully out my nose again.
That girl just standing there for an eternity and come out of nowhere anf started singing beautifully 😭
I mean.... she didnt really sing better than the guy. If anything the men are the stars. Not only did the gut sing the entire song, he also at least touched a musical instrument and didnt need to do tge tonal hand gestures to keep him in tune. Shes just alright.
she killed it cuz dont know what you talkin bout@@killbotfelwick
She is a professional. Very famous where she comes from.
@@killbotfelwick well, he whispered most of the song & just belted out the choruses (with questionable consonants) - plus his posture sucks & you can hear it in his voice.
That’s not just a girl. That’s Kimbra. She used to sing with an Australian band called Miami Horror. futuristic pop with 80s Miami vibe. If you want another good song, look up “I look to you” by Miami Horror. She’s great in that as well.
It's so easy to forget she only has a minimal part in this song, but she absolutely commands every single second she's singing. I'll never tire of hearing this song.
I noticed that too. It seems like she's in the entire song but she isn't. But she kills it.
One small harmony or extra layer of vocals is sometimes all you need to make something go from pretty good to absolutely amazing
Absolutely 🔥🔥
Amazing 🔥
Amen. She's awesome.
Producer: So what songs are you gonna make after this? Gotye: No
lmao
He actually made music but he didnt want to sell them or something
check out Easy Way Out and Save Me, they came out like a year after this
That gave me a sad smile
He released an album, check it out instead of disregarding any music outside of the charts.
Gotye looks like that awkward kid in college who s lowkey created an app then suddenly becomes a billionaire
M a r k Z u c c
He really made music to not make money on/be famous from
Who the fuck is that
And he sold me nug for 4 years then went dead ass silent.
I was gonna like this comment but it’s perfectly at 400
2024 and I'm still watching this. ❤
same, they really are amazingly good
Me too
Me toooo
Se volvió una obsesión
good songs are good
"You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness" is a line that has resonated with me ever since the song was released.
“I miss the comfort in feeling sad.” -Cobain
Agree. Powerful lyric. ❤
Yeah, me too.
Cause you're corny
She looks like a french girl that you fall in love with when you go to France for a vacation
Bruh exactly what I was thinking.
Wait, you people go to France for a vacation?
@Vincent Varela kimbra ain't a dude. gotye is
@Vincent Varela lol nub
This so accurate omg
*very rare audio of an artist acctually sounding like they do on the song*
this is rare than A rare niqqa

Axe Beats also jeremy zucker “comethru”
Paramore usually sounds the same live as in the song
What about Eminem
For me its probably one of the best songs ever written
Difficile possano superarsi, questo è un momento di stato di grazia insuperabile secondo me
@@michelerigo4913 I agree
Masterpiece
It is
Kimbra is one of her kind. She needs more recognition. She is beautiful. I hope these two will make another collab
Seems crazy to me
Yeah Gotye can sing from beyond the grave.
It would be the collab of the century
1:34 You didn't have to cut me off *MEKALAKENEPEHAPENENDEWEEWEN nothing*
Awesome
Hhhhhhhhha
LOL! 😂
Hahahaha
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing.
Man just dropped this banger then went back to his planet
Nah, he’s still been putting out stuff every year since.
@@Evan_L_Rodriguez nah hasn’t dropped nothin in 4 years
@@user-sd3vd7pd9w The Basics literally released two live albums last year and a brand new album in 2019 - and will be releasing more stuff this year.
@@Evan_L_Rodriguez he's drummer for basic and he has not released a solo album or single in a long time
@@aryasingh4674 Doesn’t mean he hasn’t made any music. Y’all act like Gotye is the only thing he’s allowed to do 🤷♂️ Also, he’s not just their drummer, he’s a writer and a lead vocalist for the band.
I find her hand movements so interesting its like she needs to feel the music
I agree, it's almost like she is casting a spell. I find her hand gestures very memorizing.
Like she’s manipulating the sound coming from her mouth with her hands is so wild to see how she interacts with the vocals
This guy literally became somebody we used to know🥲
1:38 when he said: "nekalakininahappenenawiwanatin", I felt that
Samez

We. Felt that.

Kimbra's voice in so insanely fantastic, I get goosebumps when she wails....
The older I get the more I start to understand this song.
Gotye: "wanna be millionaire" Kimbra: "let's do a hit and go back to bed"

Candy Ah it’s you again babatounde
I'm wrong but omg AHHAHAHA
Candy how’re u and ur brother deji?
Sounds dirty
The entire time gotye looks like he was trying to hide a laugh
probably thinking 'what the fuck is she doing with her hands'
or holding in a fart
Bro it's because you have too smile when you in front of the mic, the sound of your Words is much better this way
Cyantifically looks like she is casting a spell
The only thing that he need to hide from is the fireball that she about to shoot

He just vibin tho, mad respect 😔🤚🏻
he's waiting to be selected. for now hes somebody that we used to know

lol good one bro XD
“When the world needed him most, he vanished”
And now I'm nostalgic for Last Airbender.
Sadely
Well, he was right, now he’s just somebody that we used to know
Did he die? When??
@@gustavo.safira no hes just been on hiatus since he released the album this song was on
I love how she sings with her hands. Every fibre of her being is feeling that melody. Side story Gotye use to perform at weddings before he was famous. He was the lead singer for the wedding band for my friends wedding, and about 7 months later he went globe
I noticed that. She's so expressive with her hands. I've just spent a fortnight producing an actor on an audiobook and I was struck how he constantly used his hands as part of his reading process.
You guys should check out Aurora she literally moves her entire body when singing live, it's mesmerizing. She also looks like a woodland fairy
I feel sad for people who can't "feel" music as "art" .. this is worth living
No one : Kimbra's body : ⬆️↗️➡️↘️⬇️↙️⬅️↖️↕️↔️↩↪⤴️⤵️🔃🔄

Kimbra is doing a magic spell to make people remember this song again
😂😂 my thoughts
Kimbra is outstanding !
high key it's working
I know
Now you're somebody unforgettable
Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die Told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love, and it's an ache I still remember You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end, always the end So when we found that we could not make sense Well, you said that we would still be friends But I'll admit that I was glad it was over But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough No, you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records and then change your number I guess that I don't need that, though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over But had me believing it was always something that I'd done And I don't wanna live that way Reading into every word you say You said that you could let it go And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (aah-ooh) And I don't even need your love (ooh) But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (aah) No, you didn't have to stoop so low (ooh) Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (aah) I guess that I don't need that, though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Somebody (I used to know) Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know) Somebody (I used to know) Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know) I used to know That I used to know I used to know Somebody
Kimbra never fails to make a grown man tear up. What an absolute savage.
We need this man again for 1 song in the 2020’s and then dip again.
Big_DADDY_Bert I couldn’t agree more 👌🏻
But he needs his band and whatever
Somebody that I used to know part 2: electric boogaloo

That hit 😔✊✊
He's that one gamer buddy who said see ya tomorrow and never logged back in :(

I love music that doesn't need auto-tune. I'm glad they created this, years later.
I come back to this video and song every couple of years. Still just blows me away how deep and hauntingly beautiful it is. It's the best break up song ever made.
Two people who don’t really know what to do with their hands
Nghahahaha
Omg ghaahahaa
Kimbra's actually using her hands to help lock in her sound, something I'd wager she does in the booth. Look how she repeats gestures for certain sections of the song, when she's shooting for different vocal qualities
@@ashcorporon9755 Shhhh. Wizard hands.

Gosh this song was everywhere. Imagine being his ex and hearing this all the time wherever you go. Good luck lol
Added to that being that pretty much anyone his ex would see would know it was about her. Admit it, we all wish we'd written this at one time or another.
Damn didn't think about that

she probably deserved it :) :)

literally got the chills when her part came on.. im speechless.

ya, much better than the garbage artist with bling, tatts, and acting cool, but no talent. Current pop so superficial.
Talk about being in flow state. Beautiful
Still here 2024 ... ❤
This man made one hit, became a millionaire and dipped. Fair play
Actually he didnt become a millionaire because the guy refuses to "sell" his music. Apparently he turned down like 5 million dollars from KZhead royalties. However Im sure his hit made him a lot of money, one way or another.
Jean, really? Why turn them down and let youtube keep them? At least donate the money or something.
@@Cbarso Oh he did donate some money, according to a few articles. But honestly I think he should've kept it. It was well deserved
Now hes just somebody that we used to know🤷♂️
He has like 3 albums, just look it up lol
It’s weird seeing Gotye and Kimbra fully clothed and not covered in paint.
He looks like a different person with clothes on. I thought he was at least 40 before lol

He didn’t collect that much money because he turned off his monetization on his KZhead channel.

Honestly though for the kind of song it is this kind of setting just fits the song better imo.
No one will believe me, but I once played drums in Walter's band in high school. Studied music with him and caught the same bus. Dude was the most talented by far, even back then. Always was.

Exactly baby
Hearts a mess is a fucking great album tho.
mad respect for them. They made a great song, got a Grammy, collected the bag, and ran off into the sunset.
Totally 😅
If I remember correctly, back in the summer of 2011 the show Glee used this song on their show and Gotye became quite upset as the show hadn't asked their permission. They revealed that they seemed quite irritated that the song did as well as it did and was being treated as just anther pop-song. Gotye are musical geniuses. All their music is awesome imo.
Yup
@@Veridiyagooru22 FYI, Gotye is not a group. It's just the guy. The lady is a feature on the song, not part of the act.
