Because the industry is so oversaturated with songs about romantic relationships, failing or otherwise, it's easy to minimise the significance of the emotions surrounding such things. Maybe I'm the only one that does this, idk, but we're at our most vulnerable around the people we like, even more so around the people we're emotionally invested in. The song does an excellent job of capturing how it can feel to have someone disappear from your life and to have all those great memories be replaced with bitterness, discomfort and oftentimes malice.

Coming back to this song 7 years later and 1 year out of a miserable and abusive relationship, Kimbra's verse hits me in a deeply relatable way. It's a side of the relationship Gotye's character doesn't tell and he ends her verse by cutting her off with the chorus. I can't get over how nuanced and powerful this song is.
1:15 that voice crack on the word 'low'. The absolute perfection of it is one to a billion. I never noticed this with the rest of the music. I love this song even more now.
the song has ended, it has been over for 10 minutes. But the video continues even though the red bar is complete. Suddenly the eyes open, you cry from fear, in the distance....sirens.
Just in case anyone was wondering, Gotye made other songs that were also very good. My two favorites are 'Heart's a Mess' and 'Eyes Wide Open'. Give 'em a listen, would you kindly?
The adlibs, harmonies, background voices and the main voice proved us that this song wasn't autotuned. It felt like they're singing live in our front rn. Bruh this is so clean!
STEP 1: GET HEADPHONES STEP 2: PUT THEM IN STEP 3: PUT VOLUME TO MAX STEP 4: LISTEN TO KIMBRA (GIRL) PART OMG IT SOUNDS LIKE SINGING IN A HALLWAY OF AN ABANDONED SCHOOL! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@libitina27 theres 2 main ways. using an app to isolate vocals (it sounds a bit more poor quality and wouldn't sound this good) OR you can basically hack and leak the different vocals and instruments of the song which gives you really clear vocals. this isnt really ethical and it happens to a lot of modern vocal heavy artists like ariana grande , demi lovato etc
This was recommended to me. My mom just died. That can’t be coincidence. I just can’t. I don’t believe in god but this hit the soul different for me. It’s going to blow up. It’s being recommended for a reason. We just don’t know why. Sorry if that was too emotional lol.
Bee Shaft I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it to be too emotional. I just sat in my room last night and listened to this and I saw the comments and I was v close to my mom so it’s like... come on this can’t be by chance lol. I hope I didn’t upset you with my comment !
I'm picturing this playing in a desolate car in the middle of nowhere just echoing with no one to hear... Because of this I am now bawling my eyes out.
This sounds so...special, for some reason. Like he's singing in the shower and the breaks are just him taking a breath or something. Unprofessional yet skilled, I'd describe it.
Gotye: stays with a person who they weren't attracted to or interested in but who whas clearly invested in them. Gotye: "why did you, the person who's emotions I played with to not be alone, cut me out of your life?" Kimbra: "are you serious?"
It almost sounds like he is singing through gritted teeth in his verse, whilst kimbra's verse has hints of guilt, and then they both release anger and frustrations in the choruses
Do you ever listen to a song that's just so good that you imagine your own music video with complete visuals that send emotion right down to the very tip of your spine?
@@RunAwayNau same but my dad doesn't beat me but he acts a certain way and one time in elementary school I was suspended and he took me driving to the mall while he was drunk and we got a lot of clothes... And a beach ball but wethought we lost our car and it got stolen and I managed to get his keys and honk the cars..it was midnight by the time we got home
Go listen to as many songs as possible from Gotye! They’re all gorgeous and beautiful and it’s a shame the rest of his music didn’t get even half of the attention this one song got (though this song is wonderful too)!

Gotye]
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
[Chorus: Gotye]
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
[Verse 2: Kimbra]
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
But 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
[Chorus: Gotye]
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
[Outro: Gotye]
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)

_This makes me wanna cry in frustration to an ex lover that doesn’t even exist_
the harmonies in the second chorus always give me chills
It’s just so beautiful
reason i came is for those harmonies
Yes
always. immediate chills.
When I first heard this song, it wasn't until those harmonies that I thought: "Ok, this is huge!"
I feel like he’s alone in a gym singing through his pain and then a girl comes in and starts singing with him
High school musical, is that you?
steal another comment
This is actually a fucking great idea for a music video
Y/N is thriving
yea this is stolen
Elf vibes
i like this better than the original tbh

@@kate9439 wait am i actually recognized as a commenter now? lol that's cool
The production really strips away a lot of the raw anger you hear in this version
This is what you hear on a radio when the world ends.
Anonymous Mothman please
I'm picturing this playing in a desolate car in the middle of nowhere just echoing with no one to hear... Because of this I am now bawling my eyes out.
@@jgames7198 bro I came here to have a good time not to feel stuff :((
this made me feel very uncomfortable thanks
So like, now?
The melody: but you didn't have to cut me off
Chris_Tophy GC this deserves more likes
Lina Awny Definitely 😂😂👏
Brilliant!
I only liked this because it had 999 likes and I wanted it to be 1k
This sounds so...special, for some reason. Like he's singing in the shower and the breaks are just him taking a breath or something. Unprofessional yet skilled, I'd describe it.
this comment put a smile on my face
:D
@@honeypots8787 :3
@Levelovixor, how so? You've sparked my curiosity
@Levelovixor I'd like to know too
Gotye: stays with a person who they weren't attracted to or interested in but who whas clearly invested in them.
Gotye: "why did you, the person who's emotions I played with to not be alone, cut me out of your life?"
Kimbra: "are you serious?"
The pauses between the “now you’re just somebody I used to know”’s are extremely uncomfortable
That PF pic though
It seems like if this were irl, the pauses between the lines are him trying not to cry or lash out 🥺🙏
LMAOO THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING
But... no pauses?
@@mindymannn1873 :'(
It almost sounds like he is singing through gritted teeth in his verse, whilst kimbra's verse has hints of guilt, and then they both release anger and frustrations in the choruses
Yeah, I think Todd in the Shadows said something similar in his review
@At Me is microaggression some shit like microcheating or what?
@At Me i dont think thats what microaggression means lol
Dude, shut up. Your wrong
@@shrekonion8307 dude, cringe
Even without instrumental, this song is really good
i honestly like it more
The second chorus is so fucking good without the Instrumental.
it really makes you realize how overproduced(?) the original song was haha
I prefer it way more than the original, I remember I always hated this song when it came on lol
its arguably better
The fact that this is a vocals only vid but you can still hear the music in your head is always so fascinating to me
But you didn’t have to cut me off

It is not lol
Actually rn it's only 1:10
Oh gosh it’s ending in two days a c k
Bruh its three for me when I got this to
Actually the decade won't have ended until 2021 because there was no year 0 C.E.
2:22 those harmonizations are beautiful. They really hit different without the music.
i agree
@@davidswrldyt i agree
Agree but simp
@@msMuffet. who's angel and why do you have her number
That's why I always come back to this version, the ending without instruments sounds incredible
I REALLY REALLY love that their vocals aren't absolutely perfect. It makes it feel human, full of emotions, like they're feeling the break up
2nd chorus: **exists**
Me: _holy shit_
me singing, home alone: 2:04
the roaches joining in: 2:19
That’s how I find them every time so I can kill them

I want to hear this with a cello, violin, and deep drums. Just imagine how sinister that would sound.
And a bass guitar 😍
@@wormsforbrains8312 no an orchestral bass, he means like an orchestral versiom
SQUIRREL_ WAX well obviously but a bass would sound good with the violin
@@wormsforbrains8312 not the bass guitar, an actual bass and bow
@@wormsforbrains8312 but you seem to get it do I will leave it alone
This audio just gives me chills, his voice is so good😢🖤
the way gotye expresses anger and frustration without even yelling a bit is hypnotic

Omg she doesss

This makes me feel like I was with them while they were recording and I love hearing the raw vocals
He sounds like he’s yelling into a children’s toy microphone
Yes 😂

It started ringing, i cant even handle him
Oh crap, it does
It’s the reverb 😂

I might try this, what kind of videos what u put in do u think?
Do you ever listen to a song that's just so good that you imagine your own music video with complete visuals that send emotion right down to the very tip of your spine?
No
Yes constantly as an artist and writer
Not gonna lie, I kinda like this version better.
Dillon Faol me too because when it hits the chorus it’s so surprising like when my dad comes home stumbling drunk and beats me
UnknownClasher BRUH I WAS ENJOYING THE SONG AND YOU HIT ME WITH DISSSS
UnknownClasher i- girl I'm so sorry 😳
@@RunAwayNau gurl u ok?
@@RunAwayNau same but my dad doesn't beat me but he acts a certain way and one time in elementary school I was suspended and he took me driving to the mall while he was drunk and we got a lot of clothes... And a beach ball but wethought we lost our car and it got stolen and I managed to get his keys and honk the cars..it was midnight by the time we got home
This is how you know there’s real talent in someone.
i know right, some vocals alone sound so bad but this sounds amazing
no
Gotye really dedicated himself to the song, that he became somebody we used to know after he dipped making one song.
I see this comment everywhere.
In the malls, under a bridge Everywhere
@An Empty Cup I mean the song was in his last album so he pretty much dipped after that either ways
Go listen to as many songs as possible from Gotye! They’re all gorgeous and beautiful and it’s a shame the rest of his music didn’t get even half of the attention this one song got (though this song is wonderful too)!
I really like his song "Don't Worry, We'll Be Watching You"
POV
You’re alone in the theatre or so you think, but as you are there sadly singing to yourself, the “ew I hate theatre and drama class” kid joins in.
this is art
yes
Its because gotye is a fucking genius
@@oyemate8647 if he came out with a album I'd defo listen to it if it had a similar sound to this atleast
Sounds like he’s singing in a empty stadium. Satisfying
He made something and then left just like my dad
DaniloKING 2 sorry dude
lmaooo
DaniloKING 2 Now he‘s just somebody that we used to know. (I know- very original lmao)
