Gotye dropped the best pop song of the decade, but now he's just somebody that we used to know.
Haha 👍
Boom
Oh, that's cold
NAILED IT!! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm DEAD !!
This is a breakup where the couple remembers the relationship differently. The guy feels even though things weren't great between them ("he was lonely in her company") it wasn't so bad that they couldn't remain friends after the breakup. He has no clue of the emotional damage he did to her. So he doesn't understand why she doesn't want to have to anything to do with him.
But she remembers "all the times you screwed me over but had me believing it was always something I had done. " So she remembers the relationship as toxic to her, especially since in her version it seems he never took responsibility for the things he did to hurt her. So she still has some resentment and just wants to move on with him completely out of her life.
I agree with that wholeheartedly, bravo
All my relationships 🤣
Thanks for the clear explanation of the song. I love the song, but it's hard to relate to someone when they're the a-hole in the relationship. :P
And at the end the paint removing from her body is her removing herself from his life she was a part of his portrait and she doesn't want to be a part of portrait anymore
@@shiningdawn8578 It's great as a duet. It does change the meaning of the song, makes it more interesting, very rarely are there breakup duets.
he got you "dialed in" so much you didn't even blink during that firsr verse 😂😂
Hell of a comment
@@gregwilliams9737 😅😂😂

😳😳😳😳 Lol! So true!
🤣🤣 Right? Love it!
Him trying to pronounce Gotye is my absolute favorite thing on the internet!
He is so genuinely funny 😆

I find it interesting to read other people's interpretations of this song. Whether they know it or not, people always put their own struggles into their perception.
I love the visual concept of him "fading into the background " by having him bleed in with the wall. So metaphorical and genius!
When she is unpainted it means she is no longer in the picture....
Defintiely check out the lyrics. Love the visuals that so well match the lyrics. He treats her like he did her a favor being with her, even though he knew he was above that. And when they part, to his relief, until she totally ghosts him, and makes him feel like he's not even there. Notice how he comes out "naked" and "open," and then fades into the background (by her disregard), while she was already faded into the background (by his narcissism) and comes into focus in expressing her independence. Hella song! Nice reaction, as usual!
i always interpreted the ending as her having removed herself from his picture, but great analogy non the less.
I've always seen it as her painting herself out of the picture, the relationship, because it's over.
one of the few who truly get the actual meanings of this song
I appriciate that you announce if you've heard the song before, I hate it when some reaction youtubers lie and its very obvious
We got goosebumps at the exact same time. Thats when you know you got a good hook.
I was dying when you were trying to see below the camera view 🤣
And the video fits with the story as well. He gets covered up by the paint until he blends into the background, because he feels invisible. But then we see she is also covered with paint, since she felt invisible all during their relationship. At the end of the song the paint comes off of her, because she's leaving him behind so she can be whole again.
I always thought his voice sounds a lot like Sting from the Police
Agreed
Ditto.
Same
Me too !!!!
never thought this until you just said it, now i hear it and its very STINGIE!! LOL
I think the song is about there always being two sides to a failed relationship. He thought she was harsh fir cutting him out of her life but she felt screwed over by him and kept getting blamed fir everything. Love this sing and the video is really arty.
I actually came down to comment the same thing. So many people in these comments take it as "he was an a-hole and she finally reclaimed her life!" but I read the song as two sides of the same story. Other than a situation where one person is an outright douche (cheater, liar, manipulator, self-centered, whatever) most breakups are two people slowly pushing each other away. If you ask someone who's broken up, they'll pretty much always say the other person was the problem but the truth is that it was just a bad fit (or issues piled up and got out of control rather than dealt with in time) and either no one is to blame or both are to blame.
Most love songs strive to hit universal chords so that the greatest number of people can identify rather than being super specific to the person singing the song. This breakup duet is no different. It's a universal situation that both people feel they tried their best but the other person was wrong and those two sides of the story tell the full story.
@@johnplaysgames3120 yeah its just a sign of the times. Somebody always has to be completely wrong nowadays and also women are kinda always right no matter what because that makes since. Finally you someone who actually realizes this art
Lmao Leo!!! Go--Tee--Yay!! There ya go, hunny!!!! 👍😉💖😉👍
actually its go-tee-ay but whos counting
incorrect it's *GOT* - *E*- *A* ... There ya go 👍😉
@@caligal1090 actually its not , it's Got-E-A
Well actually it's pronounced "Kevin Donaldson."
@@mrjake7501 HAHAHAHA
The first time I heard this I wanted to hear it again immediately. It was so intriguing and haunting and weird and different. I'm glad you reacted to this song. It pulled you in as well.
Cheers!
Yep. We all have somebody that we used to know. They were meant to be there in our lives so that we can learn. Sometimes the lesson has to repeat itself till we get it. You always end up understanding the songs you listen to. Good emotional maturity. Great reaction.
She went no contact, which is exactly what you're supposed to do when a narcissist won't leave you alone. He didn't want her when they were together but now that she's gone, in a better place not being emotionally manipulated, she's not the person he used to know anymore. Just my interpretation of course. 🙂 Eamon's Fuck It is still my favourite breakup song, no sappy missing you shit in that one. 🤣
Yep, ghosted my ex once our girls turned 18. Right, Only way to deal with a narcissist.
My grandma is the biggest narcissist I’ve ever met and she used to say this was her favorite song. I got “what a wonderful world” tattooed on me in honor of my grandfather and ive told myself I’m getting “now you’re just somebody that I used to know” tattooed on me in honor of my grandma when she dies, well because, I’m not too fond Of her, or her suing my parents for no reason, many other reasons as well but that’s a whole other story.
@@weirdpeople14 dealing with narcs is soooo exhausting, can't even imagine how hard it must be to grow up with one. 🤗
This song is like listening to my ex-hubby whine and lie all over again. Yes, I did have to cut you off and treat you like you were nothing and it was the smartest decision I ever made.🤷
This song is the 2 perspectives of why they broke up but she says something that has always sealed the full reason for me. He keeps talking about how they just didn't work but hoped they could still be friends while she was so bitter that she just cut off all ties. But when she starts singing, the last thing she says is that he couldn't let it go and caught him being hung up on somebody that he used to know. As in he still had feelings for someone else from his past the whole time they were together, which is what ruined them and why she was so pissed to be 2nd best... to somebody that he used to know.
Steph..your interpretation was unique by introducing a third person into the story. Nobody has ever mentioned that before. Interesting take. 🙂
late but no he's actually its about a narcissist and told her she wouldn't catch him hung up on somebody he used to know. Listen to him as he says oh you hurt me but I don't need you etc etc. He told her when they broke up shes was just somebody that he used to know. She's reminding him of that. Gotye makes clear each time he says some emotional thing he insults it with oh you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough then says he was glad it was over lol no he isn't. She makes clear this is how their relationship was and she always had to read into what he says cause you know the whole typical Narcisististc blaming someone else
Probably my favorite male/female pop duet of the 21st century. "Bring Me to Life" from '02 is pretty good too.
Bring me to life pfffff a f***g classic one of the best
Goyte in born Belgium but raised in Australia from 2 years old....so many great Australian artists out there 👏🇦🇺
They played the hell out of this song when it first came out. You probably just remember hearing the hook because the rest of the song is so mellow. It took me a few listens before I really focused on the rest of the lyrics. It’s brilliant!
Home free - man of constant sorrow.
th-cam.com/video/FXwJv5lkD7A/w-d-xo.html
Naw, Bruh. This is how this song should be heard. Abby the Spoon Lady and Ol Willie chewing his bone just round it all out.
Clever and weird video... This was really popular in the UK when it came out... I thought it was katy perry featured in it when I first heard it!
Weird ? ... It's artistic , it's abstract art
Same she sounds so much like Katy Perry!
@@evilclowntra maybe poor choice of words from me. I really like this video. As I said I find it really clever.. Unusual might have been a better word lol.. Its really well done and compliments the song brilliantly!
She looks a bit like Katy Perry (in the angles you see of her) so that just makes it even more wild that she also sounds a bit like her also.
@maceroni understanding abstract art is a sign of intelligence
Well the song is hauntingly beautiful so you closed your eyes, but this was the time to watch. The video finally means something. In the relationship, she was always "in the background", you know made to feel unimportant while he was alive. So he starts off free of paint. After the breakup, now he is in that position, feeling in the background, unimportabt, discarded, and she loses the background paint to signify now she feels alive, restored, and important. Brilliant video. Sad, universal song for all the feelings you have when dumped, no matter the reason, it hurts.
You’re killing me! Awesome reaction! I love this song! Thank you for making everyday a little better. Love ya lots! ❤️😘
Weird, I was just thinking this morning if you were ever going to do a reaction to this song. You never disappoint, those eyes give you away and I love it!!!
Gotye is great! I also recommend his song "Heart's a Mess".
The girl is Kimbra who is also an amazing artist. You should check her out, too! Try "Good Intentions" and "Plain Gold Ring".
"Heart's a Mess" is a fantastic song.
I love "Settle Down" as well
@@MishaExAye Oh that's a great one.
I love Heart’s a Mess- both his original and the cover that Katie Noonan did. And I love Eyes Wide Open- real strong Peter Gabriel vibes from that one!
State of the Art is also great!
I don't know, but I believe after the breakup he's still broken but she's healing, thats why her paint is going away.
I remember when this first came out i heard so many people listening to it i liked it great song its a jam🔥🎶🔥
My take: He breaks up with her and she is kind of taken aback by it, so in order to deal with the break up and not linger in and out of feelings for him she completely "cuts him off" and removes him from her life. She may still have feelings, but obviously its not what he wants and this is the way she decides to deal with the pain of what could come if she lets him back in her life. Now on his end, he is, at first, happy with his decision but kind of wants to remain friends. So when she cuts him out of her life completely, he becomes broken. Now I use the word "broken" because I feel that this is the purpose of the video. He starts off clean and naked, aka: happy with his decision. Bu then becomes broken and confused and hurt (the paint job that appears on his body). Her on the other hand, is already upset and confused and "broken" because she starts off the song that way (the paint job on her body). But then as she gets everything off her chest that was wrong by him, she becomes relieved and content (clean naked body). This is just my take, but obviously its up to interpretation :) sick song though
I always felt that she broke up with him and he tried to be her friend still but she totally cut him off.
@@dalehammers4425 I think the mainstream appeal is that it can kind of go either way to the listener :P BUT that's also how I've heard it myself, at any rate I think the feeling is completely honest and understandable in both cases so maybe moot either way
The other aspect of the painting is that he starts out as a full person and slowly disappears into the background, becoming "somebody that [she] used to know."
@@missbelled6700 Yeah, honestly, I think the song is meant to be two sides of the same story. I mean, that's how it is in real life. If you ask anybody who's been through a breakup, most will say that they tried really hard to make it work but the other person was the problem. Both people have their own perspective on what went wrong and neither is necessarily fully right or wrong. Most often, barring one of the people being an actual douche (cheater, liar, manipulator, self-centered, whatever), breakups are the result of two people slowly pushing each other away.
Awesome job, I love the way you are bringing music to the people. Helping them understand music better. Just today I have learned from watching your redactions. Keep up the great work. The vocals are banging on this song. Helping people learning to listen better is a skill that adds value to your channel and your listeners lives.
I love your reactions! It's awesome that you check out all different genres
Listen to Shape of My Heart by Sting. The lyrics are incredible.
This this this this this omg
YEEEEESSSSS!!!!
Excellent song and movie!!!
This guy kinda sounds like sting actually maybe that's what reminded you of it? Lol
He'll recognise the tune from lucid dreams
Love this song
Love this song and video too! Your reaction is awesome!
Much love from Costa Rica ma man, I love your reactions!!

This song is why my husband and I are still together... I couldn’t see him as someone I used to know, he said he couldn’t either. 🙏🏼✌️💜
stay thin or he'll change his mind fast
@@sparksdrinker5650 he isn’t an asshole, unlike some people...
@@theresathompson7651 the truth hurts sometimes. i'll be the bad guy but it might be the best advice you ever got
@@sparksdrinker5650 the best advice I ever got was, there are more horse’s asses in this world than there are horses, consider you in this category
"yourself"
“I know somebody that I used to know” 😂😂You crack me up , Mr. Video!
Leo, I want you to know I always look forward to your uploads! You rock!!.Congrats on your 112,000 well-deserved subs!!!
I love this song so much! But, I loved it more when Prince( My favorite artist of all time) gave Gotye the Grammy and said "I love this song".
Love this song! I like that it’s giving you the male & female perspective of a breakup. Great reaction ❤️
Hey man, I tuned out for the holidays, but I'm back now... Imma binge all your recent videos, mr. V, hope you had a great turkeyday!
Dude, I love your energy. When I see you get hyped about the same shit I do genuinely brings a smile to my face. Keep doin' you man.
Hey, seriously, *listen to more of him*. This was the one big radio hit he had (in the US anyway, idk about abroad), but he has so many other quality pieces. Save Me, Heart's A Mess, Coming Back, Bronte, State Of The Art, Thanks For Your Time, I sincerely believe that he's one of the most underappreciated artists of the past decade.
I used to know how to say his name, but now all I can think is guy-yo-tee 😅 that's his name now, as far as I'm concerned
I really dig your PASSION for the lyrics, the music, the while bit. You really have a fond appreciation for all music.
ur reactions make my day fr u are very entertaining to watch big ups 💪💪
Gotye dropped this song and now they are just somebody that we used to know, big one hit wonder
Lol
Gotye wasn't a one hit wonder, he had several songs here in Australia, like 'Heart's A Mess', although none as big as this. th-cam.com/video/MpN1j8R5lZ8/w-d-xo.html
Ike and Tina Turner..Proud Mary...live
I prefer Tina (WITHOUT Ike) at Wemberly Stadium. She killed it!! She was also 61 years old in the video but dancing & singing like she was 25. Pure energy!!
Your reactions are perfect 👌👌👌
Bro that hook comes in and it's straight fire!!!!
Please, react to “Cream” by Prince. 🙏🎼
Peach-Live Bagley Warehouse London
Yes plzzzzzzz
Yes prince ...plzzzzz
His name is Wouter De Backer and he's from Belgium.
I think you need to look deeper into to this very talented guy.
And again, please react to Hearts a mess. The song is breathtaking and the video is Tim Burton style.
It's brilliant & very different.
Peace my man!
He’s Australian
Born May 1980 in Bruges Belgium. Grew up in Australia.
Beautiful song! I got the chills at exactly the same time you did Leo.
Luv this song!! "I didn't do anything" You crack me up Mr. Video!! LOL!!
So they were together for a bit and things weren't great... but when they broke up she ghosted him. If you've ever been ghosted you'll understand that it is a traumatic experience.
@@thegoodthings2878 Well that is possible but I always had it the other way around. Ghosting is usually a tactic used by people with narcissistic personality traits to punish people who don't do what they want. He was expecting to just go back to seeing her around and treating her like a friend. Sure he blamed her for things but we don't know if she actually was difficult to be with and the pain he is feeling now is entirely her fault. A clue as to their relationship dynamic is when he says that the relationship made him feel sad but he couldn't give it up and that he felt alone in her company which is something that people experience when trying to build a relationship with psychopaths because the psychopaths are unable to connect other than superficially. One of the reasons that they ghost people is to limit the amount of exposure that people who have got to know them have with their other acquaintances. It means they can control the narrative without contradiction.
Anyway... to anyone reading this... DON'T GHOST PEOPLE! It really sucks!
They were together, but he wasn't really that keen on her and was 'glad it was over' yet he's all butthurt because she doesn't want to be in contact anymore, because he's a manipulator who used to play with her emotions by 'screwing her over' and making her 'believe it was because of something she'd done'. This song was designed to make you feel sorry for him and then present the other side so that you realise you'd been siding with the a-hole due to one sided info.
I had a very close friend for about 12 years who was like that, but finally cut them off and ghosted them about 2 years ago, because it had gotten really bad for the last four to five years of the friendship, and then shortly after they screwed me over really badly for personal gain (essentially fraudulently acquired about $10,000, and tried to make me a scapegoat, then tried to act like they were the victim) I found out that the early years of our friendship, the reason why I had bothered to keep trying, was built on lies and manipulation too.
Now, as someone who's had experience ghosting someone in a very similar relationship to the one in the video, I wouldn't say that ghosting people is often a good way to break off a relationship of any sort, but there are some people that are so deeply manipulative and hate to lose control so much that there really isn't any other option that accounts for your own well being.
It's true that ghosting can be traumatic for everyone involved, but sometimes there's a point in an unhealthy relationship when you just say "enough is enough", and break it off without giving the other party the opportunity to try to pull you back in.
@@mortisrat It's weird that people think that 'going no contact' and 'ghosting' are the same thing. It is also weird that people think that objecting to being ghosted is manipulative! I think that the obsession with self-empowerment has normalised behaviour that erodes the development of strong communities.
@@Sin_Alder Absolutely right! Going 'no contact' is a tool that should be in everyone's arsenal to be used in extreme situations. It shouldn't be the go-to response to things just not working out or having received some criticism! Every person that you ghost is a branch of potential that you are killing for all time. If the branch is truly poisonous then yep... it's gotta go... but for most people... a 'time-out' is all that is necessary.
2:20 "Hey! Put some clothes on!" 7:26 *Notices the lady, Kimbra, get unpainted and gets MUCH more interested*.....Me: Mmmmhmm
I love when you try showing us your goosebumps
I got chills the exact moment you did
You'll like Maroon 5----"Harder To Breathe" and "Moves Like Jagger."
Good songs! I'd also throw in Secret and Not Coming Home off of Songs About Jane (like Harder To Breathe)
Moves Like Jagger is when Maroon 5 went to shit, when they started making just pop, their older songs are much better
Next Your Heart A Mess By Gotten man,You need To watch it
I mean Gotye
Dude the part where the chorus comes in is hilaaaaaaarious 😂😂😂😂
I know the exact feeling you had, the chills went down your back and in your head I bet you said "ok you guys fuckin got me again" with the slight laugh
so so funny
great reaction broo !
“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
”
Ok. So why is he so upset they’re no contact?!? 🤦♀️
I don’t want to be friends with somebody I feel this way around ....The dude needs serious therapy. 😳🙄
"What happened?" They broke up, and she acted like he was dangerous or something, sending her friends to get her stuff and changing her phone number. Yeah, the relationship had soured. She wasn't wrong when she said how he was kind of a dick, blaming her for everything. But then to act like that? Yeah... Someone I used to know. I'm not even going to acknowledge we were ever a thing.
I didn't get the sense that she was acting like he was dangerous. To me, it was more like a complete break. No seeing each other. No being friends, even though she said that. The end. I think that's why she had her friends collect her things, so she could pretend he didn't exist.
I think this is the crucial part of the song to understand, it tells the whole message:
"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."
Dude you love music! I love watching you love music the way i love music. Its powerfull stuff. Keep it up and keep being you.
Hate this song! (love this song) Yeah old girlfriend! (lol) 🇬🇧
Exactly
I don't like it either. Soppy and whiney.

This is a stunning video. A beautiful song. You are captivated.
In one way or another, sad as it may or may not be, I think we all have a ‘Somebody that I used to know’. Great reaction!
XO❤️
I like the dynamics here. Notice how they swap background places and in the context of the song. He's out there and she's in the background at first. Like in a pub. They get together.... He ends up being rubbish in the relationship, is then thrown into the background after they split but, tries to salvage some lost dignity by sharing some of the blame. Brilliant!
Your reactions are so entertaining. Great song choice.
'but you didn't have to cut me off' that line with that voice ❤
Its good to see that no matter the genre of music it can still move people all that matter is the message
THE REAL REACTION, I RESPECT YOU BROO
LOVE THIS SONG
Ha another good one keep up being you cuz you're awesome👍🤟
Love that song, such a vibe
Thank you, thank you, thank you...for being so REAL ❤
Now and then someone comes up with something WAY different and blows your mind.....nice to see your reaction to this, thanks 🤗
I normally don't like or even listen to music like this, but this is a great song!! You're reaction was a lot like my own when I first heard it. At first you don't know what to think or how to interpret it, but then it grows on you
As soon as I get out this hospital I've gotta get one of your sweatshirts, You don't even understand how much watching your reactions has helped me get thru this hard time.. Stay blessed and please keep posting
This Man is cold, me make feel happy your reactions, he into deep in the music. Good luck from México.
Mr. Video feels every song he listens to. He’s great.
GREAT SONG AND VIDEO!!
The way you try to really hear what’s being said instead of just listening to the music is I love your reactions.
Great song mr video❤✌
Your expressions & reactions are on point Leo 😅😅😅
Little more backdrop here. His father is a bit of a painter and actually created the mosaic that they used in the video. Its also a good metaphor for being emotionally broken at the end of a relationship. Feelings are fractured like the painting, love, hate, sadness, regret, happiness, loneliness. He didn't end the relationship, she did, but because he felt lonely in the relationship it was a relief when it was over. She felt like she was walking on eggshells all the time and also felt like he was still hung up on a past relationship...which definitely happens to some that get into a new relationship before piecing themselves together and being ALL There for a new relationship.
I haven't laughed so hard in ages...
Goatie. Man I love it!
Damn bro you're in a great music spree right now! Congrats :)
Hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving.
Love this song
Nice reaction !
Thank you, thank you, you have really made me laugh. Your reaction priceless
I respect Mr Video for his curiosity, respect, and appreciation when listening to this music...and I enjoy the hell out of his honest reactions..thank you, Mr. Video!!!!
There's one of my favorite songs but I've never seen the video before. I love how he was painted up like a balled up piece of paper that's been thrown away. That's pretty slick.
Yep. Your reactions are probably the funniest. So many other vids are technical, which is good. But damn dude, you just roll with it.
Love your reactions! You brighten us up when we watch you . Keep being amazing and genuine. Also a suggestion maybe have lyrics subtitles on so the lyrics/words are more clearer.
Good jam. Hey Leo!
