You make me wanna take singing lessons lol
I like how this pinned comment from the uploader has 5 likes but a lot of comments on this video has 100 times moređ
I thought it was Baa baa black sheep
Iâm in love with u
The way he pronounces eee is like every aussie
Yes! The song was huge in the USA
Won a Grammy
I think it was huge everywhere in the world
@@rezku8808 Considering the music video has over a billion views, uhhh, yeah, it got fucking huge.
ââTwas bid in aus
Sabrina Ziyad sane over here in the UK, it blow up for a solid year, thatâs all I heard
Kimbra's vocal on this always gives me goosebumps. There's so much feeling in there, especially when they both go into the chorus together. Her 'somebody' is perfection against his 'that I used to know'.

Beth I love plain gold ring
@@BethRoars I saw Kimbra live in Brussels, she's amazing. Got to know her thanks to her duet with Gotye.
@@BethRoars Gotye's 42 today!
When heâs singing lyrics, she is harmonizing. When sheâs singing musics, heâs harmonizing. It reminds me very much of a couple trying to communicate and failing. Sheâs crying out and heâs not listening, and he cries out and she doesnât listen. Not sure Iâd that was the intention. But it pulls my heartstrings for sure.
This was something we studied im school called Call and Response. A lot like Newtonâs Law of Gravity âfor every action thereâs an equal and opposite reactionâ. Or even deeper kind of like a yin and yang feel.
Always been obsessed with songs that have this, not dependent of the genre. But even the Flowers Duet by Lakme was based on this causality of life.
The way he sings "somebody" is completely normal given that's the Australian way of pronouncing the word.
Yep, totally
egoisnotadirtyword The way he sings this song reminds me of Sting.
@@Voxshadow73 I've always thought he had a Sting sound to his voice. Agreed.
He is not australian
Jarnick Van Essen yes he is! Lol how would you explain him living here and having an Australian accent then?
I think what Kimbra was doing with her hands is particularly interesting given this is a live performance, it's like how a cat uses her tail to keep her body in check, Kimbra is keeping her vocal control and emotional interpretation using her hands --- it's not for us, it's for her and the music.
I love when an artist is there to perform the music without concern for how she is seen, the honesty of her body work becomes entertainment because it's raw and not for show, but there it is and we see it and we feel as connected to the music through the body language of the performer as the performer herself is connected to it.
You nailed it!
I always looked at this song as a conversation between two ex-lovers that bumped into each other years later. They both go back and forth at a civil, casual tone. As they continue to talk, emotions flare and they begin to yell. It almost feels more like a 4 min play, than a song. Beautifully done
The "somebody" and "know" are totally sung/pronounced as we (Australian) would speak it. You hear Matt Corby pronounce it identically in the "Brother" reaction video too.
It's a shame that this is the only one of Gotye's songs that most people have ever heard. The first time I heard it I immediately thought, "I don't know who this guy is but I'm going to find out because he's the real deal." So I searched him on CZcams and two hours later I think I finally came up for air. I ended up purchasing all 4 of his albums and listened to them pretty much exclusively for 3 or 4 months. And as much as I like this song I probably wouldn't even rank it among his 10 best after hearing everything else he's done. I truly believe he's one of the most gifted artists of our generation and he's deserves a lot more recognition than just what he's received from this one song.
His first album was killer but most people donât know it because it wasnât originally released internationally
The difference between great music and pop music is usually one thing, a worm. More specifically, an earworm. Pop music usually only contains an earworm and is mostly devoid of anything else interesting. Great music is usually deep and moving, but without the worm on the hook. Every once in a while the two coincide, and a piece of great music with a worm on a hook is created and sometimes it catches a fish. How big of a fish is purely up to chance... and some skill, but mainly not completely in the control of the artist or fisherperson.
I need someone to react to kimbra's vocals more! She's amazing
Hey! Check out my reaction to Kimbra singing Plain Gold Ring here: czcams.com/video/hM66-32Attk/video.html
I love this song because it's told from the narrative of the male intially, whom we are meant to sympathize for. His former love interest is painted as indifferent not having a heart. Kimbra's part fills in the second side of the story, which lyrics show the guy is no angel and was most likely a cad. I like in the context of this song it simple shows the complexity of any relationship, that there are two sides to every story.
The guy that cant let go... even though he doesn't 'need her love' still wants contact and she's over it and moved on... a story told over and over a billion times. (Just as easy to have gender reversal on the story, its a human story).
Not if you wrote letters and didn't see your lover for five years in person before marriage.
I love how kimbra was literally feeling the vibe and expressing it with hand motions. Like she had it locked down in her mind perfectly and she was manifesting the sound along with the movements. Was interesting to see
It was all over the place in America. They even covered it on the show Glee, which was hugely popular.
Love them both. Great singers, unique artists in their own rights. And I love how Kimbra sings with her hands.

Kimbra's vocalizations are always so pleasing to listen to.
What l love about this song besides the obvious musicality is that every line is something that everyone has thought or had thought about them it's probably the most relatable song I've ever heard..simply a masterpiece
absolutely a massive hit in America, still is fairly popular and played to this day.
Best thing about this song is that it put Kimbra on my radar.
She's an amazing singer and deserves more commercial success.

Every time he opens up it takes me to the verge of crying.
I'm 70 and prefer 50's and 60's music, but this really grabbed me. Very unique.
Don't worry, your taste remains the same, the music is from 1967.
czcams.com/video/MSDl8w3wR2E/video.html
Because it uses a sample from a 1967 song. Thatâs your answer.
When he hits the chorus i get goose bumps every time. Great reaction, thank you.
I just love this performance from Kimbra and Gotye. Never get bored of listening to it, it's just perfect in my ears.
Couldnât sleep one night ,heard this song ,and I listened to it over and over for about ,four hours,there is many great aspects of this song,very well done ,and itâs in somebodyâs garage,I used to jam a lot when I was young and I swear garage music we really kicked it.!!!
I find it sad that this is the only song heâs known for. I get that heâs an Indie artist, and most of his music just isnât of that popular sound, but man. Heâs so talented, and people really should go listen to some of his other songs- Heartâs a Mess, Eyes Wide Open (unfortunately still very relevant, and more so with every passing year), State of the Art.... heâs got a lot of good music.
Heâs an indie artist who just happened to have one runaway massive hit, but thereâs so much more to his work. Heâs so creative, a musical genius even- and used the Musical Fence in outback Qld for one of his songs- who else would do that?
His work is alright. The thing is that his albums are a mix of styles and all sorts of experimental, weird tracks. It's not for everyone and in this case, it's understandable one of the many, different songs he's put out, hit harder than the others.
Not true, he hates fame and being on stage. Also doesnât care for the money. His work is all great, but this is one that stuck and stuck HARD in the public and I bet you he doesnât like that this is what heâs known for, or that heâs so well known too. A lot of musicians that make actual good ad creative art donât like the spotlight.
Iâd say I feel bad for him that this song became so popular lol.
@@christopherkucia9029 he also didn't monetise his CZcams channel, which given his billion plus views from somebody that j used to know would have made him millions... He also dosent give his music to commercials but instead to small movies for free and encourages people to make remixes of his music... What a man
He is on a band called The Basics, he's been active all this time
Def worth looking at more of his work like 'Hearts a Mess' , 'Save Me', and a special one called 'Quasimodo's Dream'
Gotye have lots of great songs! Twelve hours with a backseat driver is different, but good!
@@mammothmeat seeing it live with multiple rubber chickens was a highlight đ€Ł
You always brighten my days with your reactions đ this song was huge indeed, great analysis as always
Gotye has so many wonderful songs! He left the mainstream music industry because he didn't want to get bossed around and be forced to do stuff he didn't want to do.
But he is actually such a fantastic singer and his lyrics are great aswell!
I love Kimbra. What a great voice, and she is quite lovely. Her hand movements are simply mesmerizing. Great song, great lyrics.
Do "Black" by Pearl Jam MTV Unplugged version, you wonÂŽt regret
Alejandro Garcia YEEESS
YES
This is the best live performance ever! Eddie V and his best!
I love that song,but the unplugged versiĂłn i fucking hate it.
I'm a simple man. I see Pearl Jam I press like.
I love Kimbra so much she's so lovely and so down to earth. Huge fan here !!! Great content thank you !!!
Kimbra - "Plain Gold Ring" (Live at Sing Sing Studios) is the most amazing piece of singing you'll ever hear.
I'd love if someone responded to that performance. This song introduced me to Kimbra and all these years later I still really love her stuff.
Hey! Check out my reaction to Kimbra singing Plain Gold Ring here: czcams.com/video/hM66-32Attk/video.html
Corey Taylor snuff live ???
That would be awesome!!
GRRRRT
His recent live performance of it is even more amazing.
He released another one about a week ago and itâs also awesome
They are pretty powerful both performances but his voice sounds better in this live studio version
This song went platinum in 9 different countries! Great video đđŒ.
With pure respect ...Coming across one of ur videos really brightens up my day.
Literally shocked you didnât comment on her hand moments.... been wondering what thatâs about for years
For a moment I thought she was playing a theremin :-D
Did u notice her hand movements were in sync with her words and the strength in which she was singing at the moment? She was feeling that music. She was one with it. I loved it. That's an artist.
*Gangsigns*
Its like what rappers do
@@MrJones-em7ub what are you talking about?
Kimbra deserves more love. Glad to see someone analysing her vocals.

Haven't heard this song in a while!
It was awesome to hear it again in the best way possible!
Amazing song, great breakdown.
This is why you're the coach and I'm but a humble student.
Another great job, Beth. This song caught everyoneâs attention because of the the lyrics, the unusual voicing and instrumental setting, and the video. Like âCall Me, Maybeâ, it has also been the basis for many song parodies, quite a few quite imaginative.
I must say that your look this morning (my time, at least) was refreshing. I got the feeling that you had just finished your morning cup of tea (or coffee?) and this was your first video of the day. I remember telling my wife of 37 years back when we were dating that she didnât need a lot of makeup (or any, for that matter). I feel the same way about you. Your look is pure, just like your singing voice.
Keep up the good work. I almost always learn something, and I also enjoy seeing you get happy or rock out to songs that I know and love.
Iâm watching this in 2020 still one of the best songs written/preformed!
Thanks, this is a great song. P.S. The female vocalist is Kimbra, not Kimbre. Now you could do Kimbra - Settle Down (live SXSW 2012 - Spotify Sessions)
or Billboard session!

Like him or not heâs among the most talented singers in the world, mad respect such a humble nice guy.
New camera settings look great, a lot clearer and the lighting looks better too.
I love Gotye, but I can't listen to him too much because every song connects too deeply.
My favorite musician fs. And the one that hits deepest is thanks for your time đ
Yeah I ADORE Gotye's music, but Eyes Wide Open and We Will Be With You (Theme from Bronte) are so true, so sad, and so deeply human that I get teary and into a downward funk for a week.
@@breakdancinfool I recently lost my dad and Johnny cash destroys me for a solid week aswell. Ah, the love/hate relationship with music. To send you to such highs and such lows aswell
Thank you for a very enlightening discourse on this great song by two superb artists. I know less than nothing about the theory or construct of music but can appreciate the insight into their amazing interaction.
No worries! x
Loved the review, loved your look and your voice Beth! My daughter and I are huge fans of yours! San Diego sends love đ
I loved how they portray emotion in relationship in paint
I donât quite understand why, I did not go crazy over this song until this particular video session came out. To me watching their body language as they sing brings this song for me to a whole new level! Kimbra and her movements just expand the song for me.
This song made my year I remember listening to that song all the time and I still do haha â€ïž
Kimbra is such a talented singer.
Let me start by saying that Beth...You have an AMAZING talent yourself . I simply LOVE to hear you sing . I having experienced This type of break in this song up more times than I care to remember it holds a special place in my music repertoire mostly because they do it SO WELL . A bit of a tear jerk for me . Anyway PLEASE keep up the GREAT work and KNOW you have a huge fan in me . I wish I would hit the lotto for a huge amount So I could make sure you had the $$ backing you deserve .
Aweome reaction! And I love that live performance :D
kimbras voice makes my soul cry and fall in love at the same time. for lack of a better way to explain it lol
a great song about 'relationships' and the rubbish we tell each other...
I really like the casual look!
I love her stance facing him sideways before her part it almost looks as they're re-enacting a scene
I like how you explain everything it makes it very interesting I was thoroughly surprised
Can't believe this came out, what, 12 years ago? To me it feels like it was yesterday.
one of the best songs ever made. legendary
Such a cool, poignant song. Strikes home hard for most people at one point in their life or the other. Yeah, the slow build up to the chorus is what gets me. Really gives it a lot of impact.
Awesome vocals amazing song!!
React to Stargazer by Rainbow please Ronnie James Dio is the vocalist
YES!
I'd love to see that!
That would be something downright amazing.
randomly stumbled upon your channel (your reaction to Tool - Sober) and am happy to have arrived. Really enjoying your insights and responses to vocal performances. Keep up the great work!
He is the best singer ever đ
CZcams has that same video but with only the vocal tracks...her voice is absolutely amazing. His is incredible as well. Awesome song, and you're right, it was huge in the US. The harmony doesn't use pre recorded voices for the harmony, it's the 3rd person in the room...the vocal track only shows this.
My first time watching you. I really felt u have the skills and the talent and knowledge to have this critique. Good Channel. I subscribed
I like the camera adjustments you've made Beth. The picture is much clearer and sharper. The lighting is also improved and seems less orange than previously. Love your videos and how you can appreciate the singer's technique regardless of genre. Looking forward to many more great videos and content. đ
thank you, Beth!
Great song!
Never expected to be this one when I saw the title since I only have heard it but didn't know the title.
Thanks for your review!
Amazing song
I love the way they do that, your really good. Ty :))))))
Hes supremely underrated still a great song
Kimbra!!!!đđđđ. I love everything about her, the voice, the way she literally feels the music. Sheâs just incredible
I loved this song so much and now after my break up it means a lot more to me
hi just wanna say im glad you enjoyed IronMaiden Hallowed be thy name TY im a metal basist and enjoy your videos
I liked that one as well. Thatâs my favorite reaction of hers. As an Iron Maiden fan, I knew she was gonna dig those long notes at the beginning.
wow, i have only ever seen the music video version and i finally get to see all of Kimbra's face
wow your so talented
Jeez, youâre amazing!
She got some real talent .â€
The official music video is also VERY interesting. Very artsy. Very effective.
Why does this song invoke 'opera' feeling for me? Expecially when they are both singing together but at the same time in Opposition..reminds me of the flower duet and like. truely beautiful.
This was massive hit everywhere........
OMG, so young! You look great, and Iâm glad you like Kimora too.
great review. Thank you.
This guy's are fucking awesome.
4:39 *now I'm just somebody that i used to know* yeah sounds about rightđïžđđïž
Yeah, but it was intentional hahaha
@@SilencedButNotForgotten international? Yesh intentionally dumb yes
@@jeezsqueeze3201 No, intentional. As he never wanted success or fame.
@@SilencedButNotForgotten 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*
jeez i feel kinda bad for you, are you really that stupid? English doesn't seem to be ur strongest trait lmao you don't even know the meaning of the song or the joke ur literally making up ur own imaginary meaning of the song, intelligence really isn't given out equally especially in ur case, she's saying the lyrics wrong dum dum no hard feelings đ€đ€Šââïž
@@jeezsqueeze3201????
Your eyes and ears just go to Kimbra. She is spectacular. Thanks great analysis.
Cool, thanks from Australia. Now I:m off to find Kimbra Plain Gold Ring. (Big Fan of NC&TBS version obviously)
You nailed it wow
Massive in Canada! Lovely song.
Amazing that you say you like how she sings bc you talked over all of it
Half the fun is just washing you react with pure enjoyment!
first time hearing another than the official studio version. This is so much better....
I love how Kimbra is just chilling with her hands in her pockets till it's her turn to sing then she just absolutely loses herself in the music vibing
This was huge in South Africa too!
Really interesting breakdown
Hi Beth! I really like the new camera settings! Corey Taylor - Snuff live would be great! I think there is a live version from house of blues
I think I prefer the version from Koko, along with the crowd singing along to Bother
Hey Beth! You should react to Kimbra | As You Are, ARTIST JOURNAL performance (feat. Van Dyke Parks)!
It's stunning!!

Gotye's song was so popular that the radio station constantly played it to the point where he grew to hate it
