@nono7105 That's pretty much the point of a one hit wonder. As in...many people wonder what these other songs are? I'm sure 99% of people could not name another song from him.
@@AVC93 He had other hits too though. An actual one hit wonder only ever had one hit. Plenty of bands are known for only one defining song, but had other hits. Actual one hit wonders just had the one.
One of the best duets ever. She is very very powerful here and the thing is that he wrote it for her to be powerful. That’s the beauty of it. I wonder what it took for them to collaborate this?
This lady has such an amazing voice I just don’t understand why we have in America the female singers that have no personality in there voice at all and here is this lady who is practically unknown
We used to have so much music like this in the 50s, 60s, 70s, even lots of 80s songs. We took it for granted. I can play anything by Motown, early Elvis, the Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Elton John, Jackson Brown, Tom Petty, Neill Young, CSN, maybe 100 more, ...it's still wonderful. But modern stuff is just produced. It is usually nothing from the heart. Sounds the same to me from artist to artist, song to song. This is a classic new people will "discover" in 30 years.
She has such a powerdul voice. Not my style of music, but I did a deep dive on her recordings after first hearing this song. She's a true artist. Just amazing.
@@Dutch_Rudder well, now you have. Look at that, experiencing something new on CZcams. I tell you what. Listen to a song called "Ligature Marks" by Meshuggah, compare it to this, and then let me know if you don't hear the stylistic difference. One isn't my usual style of music, the other is. 😉
The song kind of hits home the basics of how relationships can be brutal, you spend a long time pouring your heart into one, then when it ends. Most of us can't bear the immediate ghosting of someone we invested in so deeply. So we lash out while at the same time, regretting the decision. Couldn't have been sung by anyone better.
Rolling in the Deep ;although I wouldn't say it was better, I would say it's equivalent. I discovered both of them while cleaning my cat's litter box. I keep a tiny shitty little radio there to keep the cats company so that's the only time I really listen to the radio outside of when I'm in my car. , in each instance each of those songs was playing softly in the background and suddenly I realized God damn that's a great song. I tracked each of them down at their different times of release and probably listened to them 20 times in a row. By the way I was 63 or so around those times in roughly 2011. And so here I am at 76 still interested enough to end up here.
She performs it as if she's holding back tears, like this is a believable artistic portrayal of a HEATED argument. And the flow of the song's so good, Gotye's character has this real sensitive sadboy verse, but then after the chorus she shows up all like "so anyway, wanna mention that part where you were kind of awful and upsetting to your ex too, or??"
@@betafishjeremy7454every single musician or music producer knows that its normal to sample other songs. This is still it's own song and doesn't have any legitimate similarities with other songs.
@@Dutch_Rudderits been repeated in a lot of comments but im saying it again. The audio isnt the original of this video shot, so its probably the already edited one, not the "on air" audio
Im 61 years old, I've been belting it out since it was released.. my 35 year old daughter started join me.. now my 13 year old granddaughter joins us.. that kind of song!
Let me ask you something. I’m 59. Is this one of those strangely weird songs from the 1960s or 70s, that we thought we should have heard, but somehow ended up in the 2000s? Isn’t it from another time?
the reason this song never gets old is bc of the vocals. she is unbelievable. her voice is a total powerhouse. and you can see and feel the emotion behind her singing and the lyrics, it’s incredible. the lyrics are SO good too. it’s just all around amazing. love it ♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I listened to this album and honestly didn't care for it, but this song has to be one of the best ever written. It's one of those songs I remember what I was doing when I first heard it. It's definitely timeless.
That is probably one of the most Beautiful duos I have ever heard!!! Unconventional Beauty in a Song is Rare!!! This one definitely hits that Rare exception!!
the more i watch this, especially her, how she screams “used to know” just reminds me of a musically interpreted argument. her screaming in desperation and hurt and weeping as he talks his side
She is a guest artist on his song. She also got to go on stage and collect song of the year with him. What more can she get? NB She was second choice to sing that part

Well he did write all the music, lyrics & harmonies AGES before he found Kimbra to collaborate with
@@ColetteNicoll I’m not saying he was wrong or rude, I’m saying it goes with the song, just like how they did it in the music video.

What a wonderful guy here. He writes and sing a song just for the sake of singing. No need to be corrupted by fame. This is so wholesome.
Created a timeless masterpiece. Made millions. Then disappeared out of the limelight to live a normal life. What a legend
He found out he hated the fame and people doing parodies of his song affected his mental health.
A True, Genuine Masterpiece!
Now he’s just somebody that we used to know
He turned off adverts on his CZcams video so he made zero dollars off that.
Typical Aussie - we like our lives the way they are no need to put on the dog and skite about it.

It’s not often you can enjoy modern music 10 years later and still enjoy it like the first time you heard it. Officially a classic.
