    I remember when Prince was at an award show and he presented these singers with the award of this song...before Prince read the winning name after he looked at the envelope he said "I love this song" and the winner is Gotye

      Yes! I was just thinking about the memory of the Prince complement too. They seemed to be more awe struck over standing next to Prince than winning their award. It was so sweet seeing their appreciation of him.

      I remember it back in 2013 before he died that this was his favorite song and I totally agree because this track sums into my head when I was working during my divorce back in 2012. This was the aftermath divorce song of that year in 2012 for me which was heartbroken.

    This song is like a slow burn. It blew up when it came out, which is unusual considering a lot of indie artists have a huge fan base but often stay under the radar.

    Shout out to Kimbra - the female vocalist. Extremely talented in her own right. Listen to her song “Settle Down” she has a rich blues voice.
    From memory - Gotye took a year to write and produce this song.
    How good is it ? The twins were hooked before they finished listening.
    Twins - you’re turning into fine looking men. Keeping it genuine.

    OMG the fact that THIS is an "old song" now blows my mind. I remember when it first came out (2012, thereabouts?)! (There were a million covers [Three People on One Guitar etc] and Star Wars parodies [self explanatory] !) A lot of talented people got TH-cam mileage out of this, but this version was always the most haunting, particularly with the unexpected viewpoint of his "ex".

    The female singing is Kimbra. She is a bomb vocalist from
    New Zealand. I saw her in person in Los Angeles laying out a
    Minnie Ripperton song. The show was a tribute to Minnie and she certainly proved she could hang, and could actually sing in person too, unlike so many others who rely on auto tune.

    I LOVED watching you two react to this. I remember when this song and video hit in 2012 and it gave me chills then, when it won at the Grammys, and it still gives me chills. I interpret the music video as a story about a guy who has faded into the background while his former lover moves on (when the paint comes off her at the end and she's looking at him but in another chapter of her life while he stays stuck in the past). I also like someone's comment on here about the colors representing a puzzle with multiple pieces/sides to the love story. Fun fact: someone made a parody of this music video called "The Star Wars that I Used to Know" - worth a watch!
    Also, since this is my first comment on your channel since Tim was fighting COVID, just wanna say how incredibly happy I am to see you both back, healthier, and taking 2022 by storm!

      @@nancyandrews398 Obviously a little late to the chat, but that's a great thought. Fitting that it's coming from what seems to be a woman (since this is youtube I'll say that I'm being 100% serious). I definitely remember the song from when it came out, but this is the first time I've seen the video. My thoughts where that the abstract body painting represented how we get outside of ourselves when relationships go bad. "She's a psycho." "He's turned out to be an asshole." The perception may be accurate but it might not be a true representation of who/what the other person truly is.

    If you're looking for another powerful Gotye song to react to (or just listen to), I'd recommend Hearts A Mess.

    You guys just made my morning! Back when it was released in 2011 this song was everywhere. It was so catchy that nobody could stop singing it. Then shows like Glee and other artists started doing their own covers.
    I can go to work now lol

    This song and the video are perfect, nd perfect together. The pathos is apparent in every syllable sung, every lyric is layered in meaning, and the concept, art, and emotional embodiment of the video make this one of the best videos ever for one of the best songs ever.

    Indie was used to refer to independent artists. Indie is a particular sound that has little to do with past associations of independent music. Indie also encapsulates a musical philosophy. Many artists utilize alternative instrumentation, jangling guitars, and may borrow from disparate genres such as folk, dance rock, and hip hop.

    There may be a bit of backlash because of overplay (it was everywhere when it broke), but damn this song is fire. Fire.
    Worth checking out - State of the Art, by Gotye, or Settle Down, by Kimbra. Bangers.

    So what I see is it starting with him, raw, and his version, and him describing being literally painted out of their history, and then moving to her voice/story, where she starts as painted in background of his narrative and then becoming the person you can see.
    Pretty cool visual representation of the narrative.
