@@inncubus666 ok, let's say that he actually didn't hear this song. It's highly unlikely that he hasn't heard either a lot of the songs that he has reacted to, such as Queen, Eminem among other ultra famous groups
@@sebaynovuelve It does seem unlikely I agree. On the other hand I'm often shocked by my friends lack of knowledge of music I thought was unescapably ubiquitous; so I wouldn't be prepared to call any individual a liar over it.

I don't think a discussion of a song needs to be a first hearing necessarily anyway so when people lie about it it seems silly to me at best.
I love how the first verses make it sound like she was the toxic one, and then Kimbra's part comes in and forces you to reevaluate everything he said in the first half of the song. Considering she only had 6 or 7 lines of lyrics, I find it really powerful.
@@ciircuz What are you talking about, is it a literal copy and paste of another comment of another person on another video, or do you think the observation, that the song has a theme about different views changing the picture, is so outstanding that only one person could realistically have it and everybody else is stealing?
"This is a masterpiece" = Yes. Such a simple song, but it packs a punch. Yeah, it got way over-played... But it still chokes me up, every time. One of the most honest breakup songs, with all the complexity of emotion one goes through... Great reaction. You get it. 👍
I normally hate it when reactors listen to a live performance first, but damn with this one it didn't matter at all because they sounded exactly like the album version. Super impressed!
Nah didn't sound like the studio version, vocals at least. But his raw voice in this version was way better in my opinion rather than the layered chorus
This reaction is the reason I'm addicted to reaction videos. It was like art watching you genuinely process the song/lyrics real time. Beautifully done.
I love that this song gives both sides of the story. A very accurate depiction of a break up in that it's not just 1 persons fault. I also love how well they harmonise. It gives the feel that they know each other very intimately, even if the relationship is ending
Love how your expressions kept changing as the song intensified. The best part about us that know this song is what you were saying and we knew what was coming.
Gotye is so talented, though this is his most commercially successful song he has so many great songs that were huge in Australia but didn't take off overseas. Hearts a Mess is my favourite of his. This song though is genius and he and Kimbra do it perfectly. So deserving of the Grammy!
The spontaneity of your reactions and expressions are high spots of your react videos, they remind us on how we felt when we were listening those songs for the first time. Congrats for your great react work.
I went like 8 years without hearing this song then this exact performance popped up on YT and I am obsessed now lol you picked the best performance of the song to react to also
This has got to be one of my favorite songs. I love how it starts out with you feeling bad for the male singer and then the woman "he used to know" comes in hard and strong to correct the record. Kimbra made this song!
Wally is a bonafide genius and that whole album Making Mirrors is a masterpiece. I only wish I didn't feel like I will grow old before we get another Gotye album 😭😭
"Hearts a mess" is also really good, and there is a cover of one of his other songs called "The only way" by another Aussie band called Karnivool that is well worth a watch.
@@beavschannel5217 They're pretty amazing, I was going to suggest Roquefort with empire horns as well, but thought I'd better stick to the Gotye theme for now.
The happiness in your face watching this to the end is tangible. I love this song almost as much as the meme that came from it; depicting the Queen, painted like this single, with the caption "Now you're just a country that I used to own."
I legitimately want to be his best friend. His reaction videos are the best in the business. I loved when he said this song was a masterpiece. Delivery is outstanding.
That xylophone just makes the song. This song brings me back to a place and time. Another song that came out at the same time, Royals by Lorde was a great song (it really surprised me the first time I listened with a subwoofer).
You know how a song can transport you right back somewhere????? Yep this was my ring tone for 6 months while I was separeted back in 2012. He's now someone I wish I never knew but that aside, I i still love this song. And yes it'll be in your head all day. Lol. I always enjoy your reactions. ☮☯️
I work in the trades, and there's usually a radio on in the background. I find most "pop" music bland and mildly irritating at best. Yet every once in a while a new song comes on that makes me tilt my head to one side like a dog. When this first started to get air time, I loved it's quirky - almost playful - musical nature contrasted with the darker, yet still kind of fun lyrics. Sending a friend over to collect records is such a wonderful inclusion, and very relatable. No complaints!
Gotye, an Australian, and Kimbra, a New Zealander, have also done an arthouse type of video of this song. Without giving away too much, it involves paint and is quite surprising. Gotye took this song, which I think he wrote, to the the Eurovision Contest and won! Please check out the other video and you will enjoy it.
I don’t believe he ever went to Eurovision. They entered the song in the OWN Eurovision contest which is a TH-cam competition for songs and he didn’t win either. They came 9th. But like I said, it isn’t the real Eurovision anyway.
They came first in the triple J hottest 100 in 2012 (so songs from 2011). Which considering it's open public voting rather than expert panel... well I'll let you judge but there were 1.4million votes cast.
I was the same. Well, kinda. I'd already been through some rough breakups by then, but it took me a while not to hear baa baa black sheep and instead appreciate the song for what it is.
This is a similar concept to Fleetwood Mac's "Go your own way" where its a duet but its a couple in conflict, they are singing together but also singing at each other
The female singer's name is Kimbra, she's from New Zealand. I highly recommend you listen to some of her songs. "Come into my head", "Plain Gold Ring" and "Settle Down" are three of my favorites. I recommend her live versions of her songs because she's a loop artist (she's been looping before it became popular) and she records all of the individual sound layers of her songs live before putting them together and singing the melody over all of the vocal loops.
Kimbra is an amazing vocalist I would suggest "Come into My Head" or her cover of Nina Simone's "Plain Gold Ring". Gotye's 2 albums are amazing. "Hearts a Mess", "Eyes Wide Open" and "Bronte" are all really good.
All day? It's been 10 years and it still, for no good reason, jumps into my mind. Just driving to work like NOW YOU'RE JUST SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOWW ^somebodieeeee
They're not singing to each other. She is singing to him, but he is singing to somebody else. Without the video, you have the line "and I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know." The video drives this home with Kimbra's alternating loud & soft harmonies being represented as fluctuating desperation & frustration as she tries to get his attention, until she finally gives up, gets painted out of his world, and then the cycle starts over with her being the new somebody that he used to know. The song and video in its entirety truly is a masterpiece.
Her uptempo stuff is unfuckingbelievable. Miracle, Cameo Lover, Come Into My Head. I could listen to Warrior on repeat for hours and never get bored of it.
And that version led me to Pentatonix's version, so this song led me to having two new bands to listen to. For that, it holds a high place in my heart, particularly because the video was also very well done.
An Aussie pop radio playlist staple for way to long. I have heard this so many, many, many times but since it has been off heavy roation for so long I now appreciate it more, can't deny the talent.
In your own time you should check out the cover of this song by Walk Off the Earth where they all play one guitar. It's my favorite version of the song.
Walk Off the Earth deserves some attention. They are so original, so fun-loving, so excellent... and this is one of their best covers. (th-cam.com/video/d9NF2edxy-M/w-d-xo.html). For a bit of fun, all five of the group members are playing one guitar. It has over 191 million views! Their cover of Hello is possibly the most inventive video I've ever seen in terms of alternative instruments (th-cam.com/video/LT7MOirwZdM/w-d-xo.html), but I love Speeches (th-cam.com/video/cUAsGr6KM2E/w-d-xo.html) which has a unique story-telling process. These people are genius!
Though I think you see and hear more of kimbra’s voice and participation in this one. I love the movement she makes when she sings. Fantastic funny girl. Got to see more of kimbra in action.
It’s sucks to call Him a one hit wonder. The album this song was on was really good. There are at least 4-5 songs on it I like more then this one and I really like this one.
I Love how everyone takes his side at first cause you only hear his side, then she comes in and the full picture is painted. shows how one sides breakup songs can be.
Man respect to this brother, loved his Rage against the machine videos and highly knowledgeable about the topics in the songs. Thank you my brother for being educated and educating us on info we don't know. #RESPECT
Wally (Gotye) is one of the nicest people I've ever met. I remember seeing his first band, Downstares, win a battle of the bands when he was in high school. I wasn't surprised at all when he won a Grammy.
Wish I could be you and have the first time I listened to this song again. Almost as close to perfect as music can get. Knew you would appreciate the music beauty...thats why you are one of the best!
Most of us have experienced that Mike Tyson gutpunch of a breakup- whether toxic, star-crossed, or simply immature. Their voices cut straight to the soul, and bring back that heart-longing, even if it's been decades. Haunting.
The version of this song where all 5 members of the band play on 1 acoustic guitar at the same time whkesingigis one of my favorite tha band has put out.

I would prolly piss me self
I didn't know that, but i'm not surprised.
I have no idea how you managed to live the past 10 years without hearing this song before.
This song was one of those global phenomenon's. It was EVERYWHERE. Even being a non-listener of the radio I still couldn't get away from it.
All of these "reactors" clearly fake reactions for views. It's so dumb
I've never heard or heard of the song or the group; so it's doable.

It takes 2 to tango
The whole "two sides to every story"... it speaks to their lack of communication with each other too.
nice copy paste from vice or whatever video it was that covered this song. get ur own opinion
@@ciircuz What are you talking about, is it a literal copy and paste of another comment of another person on another video, or do you think the observation, that the song has a theme about different views changing the picture, is so outstanding that only one person could realistically have it and everybody else is stealing?
@@Kaefer1973 No its literally a copy paste. Slighlty altered, yet, nearly word for word what the narrator said in the video lol. Fuck off?
"This is a masterpiece" = Yes.
Such a simple song, but it packs a punch.
Yeah, it got way over-played...
But it still chokes me up, every time.
One of the most honest breakup songs, with all the complexity of emotion one goes through...
Great reaction. You get it. 👍
Its potent song. I missed it from years and when I heard it was shocked.
absolutely. It wasn't even a song through a few of my worst breakups, but brings back heartache as I listen now.
The music video is even better.
MrLBoyd: “Let me know if I should be listening to more of their music”
Me: “Well… about that…”
Now they are just somebody we use to know
Well, I LOVE Smoke and mirrors, and some other of his songs too
He’s won multiple Grammys before that song…
@@kazekenjii Grammys? doubt that
@@bezsonnja you’re right, other awards but not Grammys. ARIA i think
It's one of the great breakup songs out there, especially with both points of view.
Yeah great idea to have both sides

Nah didn't sound like the studio version, vocals at least. But his raw voice in this version was way better in my opinion rather than the layered chorus
Unfortunately he does this with every music reaction, so it ruins lots of songs
@@TheToaster1155 I think it’s due to copy right issues, if you’re referring to him reacting to live as posed to the studio recordings
nah the live version of this song is better then the studio
This reaction is the reason I'm addicted to reaction videos. It was like art watching you genuinely process the song/lyrics real time. Beautifully done.
If you watch the real music video, you get more of an impression that they are singing at each other. It's beautiful
agree that he should watch that video.
What I love about this song is that at the beginning it's very unassuming and the BAM! it creeps up on you.
I loved the moment when Kimbras voice and perspective hit you and you were like „this is a masterpiece“ with this little headshaking vibing to it 💜
I love that this song gives both sides of the story. A very accurate depiction of a break up in that it's not just 1 persons fault. I also love how well they harmonise. It gives the feel that they know each other very intimately, even if the relationship is ending
You really got it!
When he hits the high notes it sends chills down my spine.
Love how your expressions kept changing as the song intensified. The best part about us that know this song is what you were saying and we knew what was coming.
Gotye is so talented, though this is his most commercially successful song he has so many great songs that were huge in Australia but didn't take off overseas. Hearts a Mess is my favourite of his. This song though is genius and he and Kimbra do it perfectly. So deserving of the Grammy!
We need more of this genre in our lives. I love the mellow then to the peak you just want to scream with them.
This is the kind of song you appreciate more and more the more you hear it. ☺️💜
The fact that they're talking to each other comes across more easily in the original video where they illustrate it very well.
Highly recommend Kimbra on her own. Settle Down is a good one.
Come Into My Head is also a banger.
I love Top of The World!
1000% this. She has one of thr most underrated voices in the last decade.
I recommend any of her sing sing studio videos
My English teacher had us analyze this song when I was in high school. I sucked at writing but she was a great teacher and really helped me.
The spontaneity of your reactions and expressions are high spots of your react videos, they remind us on how we felt when we were listening those songs for the first time.
Congrats for your great react work.
To be honest he sounds better in the studio version
To be honest, he sounds better in the “Walk off the Earth” cover version.
Studio version definitely - the visual is brilliant!
Quite a few of these reactions where the live versions don't do it justice imo, esp when the videos are so striking
I'm confused at why he's picking live versions of songs where often they don't do even close to justice for the original studio version.
@@BooneDavey He’s paranoid about copyrights.
I love when you said "his voice is... ok" before chorus came ^^
Kimbra - female singer is Kimbra. Definitely worth looking into her solo work!
"Hearts A Mess" and "Eyes Wide Open" are also goods one by Gotye
Eyes Wide Open was my favorite on this album.
Heart's a mess is awesome. I'm a 90s grunge and heavy music super fan but that song kicks ass
@@el-violador Heart's a mess is a ride, for sure.
if you like hearts a mess listen to Katie Noonan's cover of it. utterly sublime!
I agree with both song choices. Love the State of the Art song myself. It's my jam 🔥
The female singer is Kimbra. She’s got some good stuff too. I like Settle Down a lot.
Gotten is much better music
Musician kimbra a talented singer
Gotye*
I got to see her perform in Chicago a couple years ago. It was so intimate you could practically reach out and touch her.
She is amazing actually. Gotye......meh. Not my thing but her voice is special. Super creative too.
Kimbra is amazing
Gotye - Hearts a mess, is a masterpiece. My favourite of his. 💗

Why does this song always bring me tears!! Such a beautiful harmony
Wally is a bonafide genius and that whole album Making Mirrors is a masterpiece.
I only wish I didn't feel like I will grow old before we get another Gotye album 😭😭
That little smile when he said ‘but you treat me like a stranger and it feels so rough…’ yeah that’s a heavy line and feeling.
"Hearts a mess" is also really good, and there is a cover of one of his other songs called "The only way" by another Aussie band called Karnivool that is well worth a watch.
Be right back, making a bunch of accounts to upvote this comment more. Karnivool is my all time favourite band.

You can see him experience the emotions in his eyes, great music will do that
There's an isolated vocal version of this that's just awesome.
You are right this is a masterpiece one of those songs that stays with you
This is a similar concept to Fleetwood Mac's "Go your own way" where its a duet but its a couple in conflict, they are singing together but also singing at each other

Suggesting Kimbra’s other music - Sing Song Studio, Plain Gold Ring. Kimbra is criminally underplayed.
Plain Gold Ring is a great song....nice recommendation.
Her uptempo stuff is unfuckingbelievable. Miracle, Cameo Lover, Come Into My Head. I could listen to Warrior on repeat for hours and never get bored of it.
This was going to be my comment almost exactly. Please check out Kimbra's Plain Gold Ring. I would love to see what you think about that.
Definitely a timeless masterpiece.
You should check out "Walk of the earth's" version of this. Its 5 ppl playing the same guitar and they kill it. Very musically brilliant
And that version led me to Pentatonix's version, so this song led me to having two new bands to listen to. For that, it holds a high place in my heart, particularly because the video was also very well done.
Stunning arrangement
Love this song 🖤 Both of their voices are awesome. Check out the MV for sure.
when he starts the hook dude goose bumps always
An Aussie pop radio playlist staple for way to long. I have heard this so many, many, many times but since it has been off heavy roation for so long I now appreciate it more, can't deny the talent.
The last Aussie pop that was as overplayed in USA was Kylie's "Can't Get You Outta My Head".
Why do I love watching reaction videos to songs I already love? Like I enjoyed watching them fall in love with it too
In your own time you should check out the cover of this song by Walk Off the Earth where they all play one guitar. It's my favorite version of the song.
Yeah, totally agree with you, it's a brilliant cover
Walk Off the Earth deserves some attention. They are so original, so fun-loving, so excellent... and this is one of their best covers. (th-cam.com/video/d9NF2edxy-M/w-d-xo.html). For a bit of fun, all five of the group members are playing one guitar. It has over 191 million views! Their cover of Hello is possibly the most inventive video I've ever seen in terms of alternative instruments (th-cam.com/video/LT7MOirwZdM/w-d-xo.html), but I love Speeches (th-cam.com/video/cUAsGr6KM2E/w-d-xo.html) which has a unique story-telling process. These people are genius!
This was one of my favorite songs ever, 1.7Billion views on FB its amazing
I'm sorry to everyone that disagrees with me but I think the recorded version sounds way better
Agree... much much better
Indeed
Though I think you see and hear more of kimbra’s voice and participation in this one. I love the movement she makes when she sings. Fantastic funny girl. Got to see more of kimbra in action.
This is an incredible song. Lives in my head rent free.
Always thought that this could have been a Sting song. Similar vocal styling.
Prime Sting would have done an amazing version of this .
"This is a masterpiece..." My sentiments exactly.
It’s a one hit wonder. The female is Kimbra and she has other great songs out there. I highly suggest watching the music video as it’s a work of art.
It’s sucks to call Him a one hit wonder. The album this song was on was really good. There are at least 4-5 songs on it I like more then this one and I really like this one.
Well this was the last album he put out since he went on hiatus in 2014, so...
Gotye and Kimbra...classic!
Masterpiece is spot on
I Love how everyone takes his side at first cause you only hear his side, then she comes in and the full picture is painted. shows how one sides breakup songs can be.
When he says “this is a masterpiece.” Pretty funny
So cool to see you go from “it’s ok” to “man he can sing” to “this song is a masterpiece”.
Eyes Wide Open by Gotye is also a super important listen
I love that song. Listen my hearts a mess by goyte. I think it's his best song and the video is super cool 😎
Man respect to this brother,
loved his Rage against the machine videos and highly knowledgeable about the topics in the songs. Thank you my brother for being educated and educating us on info we don't know. #RESPECT
From Puerto Rico🇵🇷this song is something else. I time hit wonder wat ever they saay.. But is 🔥 fornthe 💖
I've never heard this version before. Gave me chills after the bumpy opening.
They dropped that one song and now they’re just somebodys we used to know
Still get goosebumps hearing this

Well, after Walk off the Earth, I have known about Gotye. Now it is my favorite music, wich I like to listen very often...
Gotye... this song.. SO VIRAL. But he disappeared off the face of the Earth. Now he's just somebody that we used to know.
