LYRICS
In the mornings
I was anxious
It was better just to stay in bed
Didn't want to fail myself again
Running through all the options
And the endings
Were rolling out in front of me
But I couldn't choose a thread to begin
And I could not love
'Cause I could not love myself
Never good enough, no
That was all I'd tell myself
And I was not well
But I could not help myself
I was giving up on living
In the morning
You were leaving
Traveling south again
And you said you were not unprepared
And all the dead ends
And disappointments
Were fading from your memory
Ready for that lonely life to end
And you gave me love
When I could not love myself
And you made me turn
From the way I saw myself
And you're patient, love
And you help me help myself
And you save me,
You save me,
You save me

The people who are thinking Gotye is a one-hit-wonder are missing out on a LOT of great music.
Absolutely true.
I am regularly sad that it has been so long. I remember falling in love when I started college, and I feel I connect with his music more with every passing year. I really hope he returns when he’s ready
@@ellyrussell254 100% same
hear hear!
Gotye had so many amazing songs! State of the art, Heart's a mess, Dig your own hole and so on.
This song perfectly describes a person with depression finding love.
Carolyn Orosco gotta agree with you there
When she talk in shhhh I block her out wit this hit good weed
Well that used to be me until I got left
I'm waiting now, just waiting because of this song
Carolyn Orosco 1,000%
Gotye is someone we will be talking about for decade when he's dead. A timeless voice and an incredible sense of music. God bless him. Proper artist.
Ciakai agreed
Kieran Anthony Thompson too bad people only know like 1 song of his including me before now 😂
Kieran Anthony Thompson this didn’t age well
Mike Owen right
I think he’s starting to come back
This is literally the polar opposite of Somebody That I Used To Know.
Omg you're so right
"Somebody that i will know"?
@@trashmammoth8878 Somebody that I used to know, I still know, but used to, too.
It's not many-nobody I did not used to know
Plot twist: artists can do various different things ✌🏼🙃
I love the way Gotye combines his songs with various animated visuals. I think they are way more interesting than music video's with people.
Hell, YeHa!
They always feel like they convey an actual 'meaning'
yup.
Instead of calling it "depression", it's a song dedicated to all those great people who help us choose paths and makes us believe in ourselves. It is a love song for them. Teachers, parents, friends, our guardians.
Beautifully said
Okay but that's literally what Gotye said it was about. It was about his girlfriend Tash Parker who helped him through his depression.
The visual representation of this song is perfect
and the song is great
Her love saves him and makes him into a complete person, and by helping him she also becomes a complete person; then they join into pure energy.
Dallas Coryell :) meaningful!
In Clinical Psychology, this video explains a very beautiful process of natural healing with Neurotransmitters and Neuroreceivers
Bacon man ;)
This song saved my life after my relationship from hell with a girl who abused me multiple ways and because my new girlfriend played this for me and said stay with me and give me a future and I'll forget about your past. It's been 6 years and she helped me get off heroin. Thank you baby and thank you Gotye
❤ That was so warming to read, feel really happy for you buddy.
@@ettoremusic thank you and I feel happy now days too compared to before
It's a shame that gotye is known by most as a one hint wonder cuz a has an entire discography of songs that expertly capture emotions that everyone feels, cementing himself to those that resonated with his message as an unforgettable artist. I'm happy his art was able to change your life
@@deadpandingo maybe one day other songs will bop let's wait
Sweet
It annoys me that you can find great music all across the web, but the radio seems to be only interested in playing bullshit after bullshit just because the 'artists' are well known.
there should be a radio station dedicated to playing music from obscure and underrated artists called *RARE*
@@HarvoSpoon give this man a damn nobel prize thats the best idea ever!
the logo would be a blue rhombus to represent a diamond, cus diamonds are rare too
I heard some good radio stations out there. Don't be mad.
Brasil
Gotye and Hozier: underrating at its fines.
+Aiden Nelson Hozier is not underrated. Hozier is doing fine.
+I like narwhals i think he was referring to how those songs were given so much attention while both artists have so much other great overlooked content
This is probably the most polite youtube comment discussion I will ever live to witness...
Joe Leacock true. so very true.
What about foster the people?
this song saved me 2 years ago. Thanks Gotye, job well done.
Ingus Brikmanis It's saving me right now.
Me too dude feel the pain
How are you guys doing 6 years later?
This is, in my opinion, the best love song I've ever heard. As someone with depression who eventually found love when I believed I didn't deserve to, this goes straight to my heart.
These music videos are so underrated. They are so artistic and beautiful, unlike weird booty shake vids popular these days 😂😂😂
Tyler 'The Fangirl' totally agree with u, people who like booty shake videos just come to here to say 'that's weird' come on!!!
Absolutely. They show an artistic sensibility of high caliber. Gotye's music videos have always been whimsical, starting with "Somebody" (and being painted out of the picture! ha!). But I love what he's been doing with this surreal animation. Also, this song is gorgeous and yearning.
OMG dude, did you look at her butt?
fucking right
Ya know what's worse than "booty shake vids"? FUCKING EMOJIS!
It's a joke while I hate emojis I agree that twerking is a fucking plague. If you want to see asses just watch porn.
Every time I listen to this song I always think about the people in my life who never gave up on me and I cry... And then I cry some more when I think about the people who don't have that support... If you're reading this and you're depressed please know you're not alone and you're not worthless! Don't be afraid to talk to someone about how you're feeling and please remember you're life is important!
You've must be the strong one with strong mental
Thank you!!
@@boiwhat5421 I know this was two months ago but how is this advice? Personally, this seems more detrimental to tell someone with depression. Telling them nothing matters can worsen the situation drastically and I'd advise you to watch what you're saying online! Someone could take your comment the wrong way which could lead to something horrific.
And I cried, when I read your comment... Thank you for these words 🍀
Thank you 😍🙏
In the mornings
I was anxious
It's better just to stay in bed
Didn't want to fail myself again
Running through all the options
And the endings
Were rolling out in front of me
But I couldn't choose a thread to begin
And I could not love
Coz I could not love myself
Never good enough, no
That was all I'd tell myself
And I was not well
But I could not help myself
I was giving up on living
In the morning
You were leaving
Travelling south again
And you said you were not unprepared
And all the dead ends
And disappointments
Were fading from your memory
Ready for that lonely life to end
And you gave me love
When I could not love myself
And you made me turn
From the way I saw myself
And you're patient, love
And you help me help myself
And you save me
And you save me
Yeah you save me
Why is it 2015 and I'm barely hearing this?? Pisses me off I've heard bullshit all day on the radio, yet there's beauty like this basically locked away waiting to be played. Ugh I'm getting this album
+Kirsten Tucker Because too many people heard Somebody That I Used to Know, thought it was amazing... and then didn't immediately look up the Rest of Gotye's music! But hey, great music is great music whenever you find it, it's finding it that counts!
I feel your pain dude. :(
that's why I got whole album and find out I love this band
+Harry Parkhill I hate to admit, but that is exactly how I found him and OMG what was I missing all these years? that lil diddy was a nice tune but his music in general is so left from that mainstream song. You know what I mean? LOLOL But, I'm glad I found him, I'm hooked!
I totally agree with you.
2018?, i miss gotye so much
The year is now 2020, despite all that has happen i still listen to Gotye because he's a true artist and his voice is amazing during these trying times
Where is he?
Pretty sure hes working on a 4th album rn he has a child now
AYEBROWNING ok cool. Sounded like he was no longer with us lol
@@aeronicle Do you know something about a 4th album? I know he has a band, but I think he works better alone.
@@jacopooberti7061 last I heard he had said that there was not going to be any more "gotye" music, but he's still working with other musicians, such as his band and some colab works in recent years
I'm having a difficult life right now and music seems the only place I can take refuge. This song really helps me a lot...
Me too. Alot of his music does
Every Gotye video does the same thing to me "WHERE HAVE I BEEN THE LAST 4 MINUTES!! WHERE WAS I!.... I wanna go back."
I agree!
I wona cry man, this stretches my heart
+Thato Mabanga There is water leaking from my eyes. Why can't I stop the water leaking from my eyes? T_T
oh... :)
Couldn't have said better!!
Sounds painful
It's ok to cry. Sometimes it feels good to cry.
Honestly, I'd say this is by far his most underrated song. It's so sincere and genuine, it deserves much more recognition than it has.
It’s really interesting coming back to Gotye’s music as an adult. When I first listened to Making Mirrors I was 13. I’m 19 now and his music just hits me a lot deeper, accompanied by the beautiful visual animation. I just love the feeling of respecting and loving these songs like it’s the first time of heard them.
I thought I was the only one feelin' the same! :0 It's happening to me with Like Drawing Blood, too
are you me? same exact experience here
Imagine being 20 listening to his first album and now 34....it hits so different..and harder
@@ndo533 I love/hate that experience for you!! Growing up ain’t easy :(
One day I'll find that person to send this song to.
Omg, I did yesterday….🥰 still incredibly difficult, though. But still. 🥰
i love how artsy all his music videos are, and his voice goes really well with everything...
strangely attractive :o
He looks like a young Jeff Daniels....the mouth and teeth...? I think he's adorable!
It's not strange to be attracted to people with the greatest singing voices of all time.
God this song....it actually made me cry as a grown man...because it's like a portrait of my life...I was him and he is me....everything hes felt.. I felt
He should have more views on this... or any of his videos, really. He's a musical genius. I mean, have you seen the way he makes his music? It's amazing!! He deserves more credit... now days we have stupid songs with computerized music. This guy has real, touching lyrics, and he puts hard work into his instrumental.... just - WHERE ARE YOU GOTYE??!! We need you!!! x
What do you mean by computerized? Like edm or just over polished pop?
Eathan Markson Over polished pop.
clumsyhes ikr!!
Yes he made music turn from bad to good he puts such thought in it
honestly his least amazing song is the most popular, don't get me wrong it's still musical genius the other ones are just,, nicer? idk
This video is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a long time.
How does Music from 2012 become this good even 3 years after its release ? Gotye , thats how.
+Enclave Soldier that's a good point, soldier.
+Enclave Soldier i miss the enclave
Carson Guy Me too, damm the brotherhood. And those vault-dwellers, seriously, almost everyone who fucked us over was a vault-dweller. FUCK that.
+Enclave Soldier No thought about Vincent Van Gogh? k
ofek zelig Its not a song about Vincent Van Gogh now is it ?
This whole album is an absolute masterpiece. There has never and will never be anything like it. It’s been 9 years and I still Google Gotye at least once a month hoping for news on a new album. It breaks my heart even more than George RR Martin not releasing Winds of Winter.
Well said
His band, The Basics, are still producing music a lot with him! Go listen to them, can be a way to get closer to him.
I lived this song, even though we broke up two years ago, I was in a relationship that saved me from suicidal depression. One person is enough to pull you back from the edge.
Sometimes we can get so low we need someone to love us to believe in us before we can love our self again.We need a sign from life that it`s worth living. Worth trying to live and love again....
A true artist in every sense of the word... ART AT IT'S FINEST!!!!
I believe that it is not important to Gotye how many people his art reaches... but rather, how his art impacts even one heart and soul.
Thank you Wally, collaborators and crew for ALL the hard work and the resulting beauty that you put out into this troubled world!!!! The Karma will run over the dogma!!!!
Much Peace and Love! ☮️💙
in my opinion he's a genius and there's nothing like him quite out there...and for that reason he's a true artist...he doesn't copy nor does he follow easy pop trends to make loads of money....he puts the words and images and music together in a way...that music..."ought" to be...in this modern era.... so many are so caught in the past...he's the future
Brian James if you like trippy music/music videos , then please check me out! Soon to be releasing my album, 3 music videos are already up!thanks
you shouldn't advertise yourself through youtube comments on other people's success, it's just kinda insensetive
i dedicate this song to my ex. the most beautiful man ever. He loved so hard, and i took it for granted. He loved Gotye and this album. His favorite songs from the album were "I feel better" and this song. Every time I listen to either song, I cry hysterically, thinking about the many car rides how he would just immerse himself into the songs and sing away, not having any care in the world and being full of joy. The lyrics hurt deep because he has actually saved me. All i have are the memories while i listen to this beautiful album. I love you, Jeremy
Where is he now?
@@jeanmichellelaurent with someone else after we fucked each other over. I still have much respect for him, but I def don’t carry this sentiment anymore
this is probably my favorite gotye song
Gotye -> Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Kanye West
True
can't believe Taylor Swift is even mentioned Rihanna too only Kanye is a true music artist like Goyte that really care about the message and art
For Sure
How is he NOT a world wide famous musician. His stuff is very powerful. His music hits the whole spectrum of available human emotion.
Incredibly sad to me that "Someone That You Used To Know" became famous, but not Gotye himself. There's even videos that treat him like "What Happened to the 'Someone You Used to Know' Guy?" Making Mirrors is a great record man. So is Like Drawing Blood
Iirc the guy doesn't really like the business side of the music industry especially after the headache inducing copyright schmucks that his song "Somebody that I Used to Know" Caused. Long story short he's now making songs with his friends in Australia and left the big scene. He's still active in making music but you just have to dig it up pretty hard
Goddamn it, I love you Gotye. You're a friggin masterpiece.
too underrated, makes me very sad
RunningInCircles222 Underrated? Their most famous hit topped the charts for ages... I don't think Gotye is overrated...
joeytje50 He's underrated as an artist, not an accomplished musician. I mean just think if some of your best pieces of work were covered up by a pop song that relatively pandered to the masses. The rest of his career is underrated. One hit wonder? Yes. Should he be? no.
joeytje50 definetely underrated, you dont see him headlining for miley cyrus. boom
Does he do the artwork too? All of his videos are great!
I don't know if you're gonna read this, but I want to share some thoughts. Whenever I hear one-hit wonders, I just get a painful urge to dig deeper, to find more about the artist. And whenever I do, most of the time, I find a treasure trove of good stuff.
Just think about it; If you make something that is so good that resonates through the world, how can that be by accident? There must be more to the artist than simple luck or happenstance! And these other music videos that are on this channel are a testament to this. It's obvious that you pour your heart and soul into everything you do and every one of them are good.
I almost never comment, but I just had to put this out here, because I came to respect you and your work so much.
to be honest, i can not listen to this song, can't add it to my favorites on spotify, because it sparks too many emotions at once. it somehow makes me nauseated... anyone else? listened as a kid so the nostalgia. gotyes voice, that freaking voice. the instrumentation. everything about it, i cant explain.
2023 update: i dont feel that much these days
h I relate to this. Thought I was the only one
rececently i found an mp3 player that i lost about 5 years ago. perfectly working, all songs. listening to it sparks so much nostalgia
i’m in the same boat, haven’t listened to gotye since i was a kid and jeez the meaning of this song really flew over my head
Is no one gonna talk about how cool the music video is?
I swear this song is way too underrated I still come back to listen and watch the video from time to time
This is my favorite song of his
Here in 2021 and this song still feels timeless, thank you Gotye.
this song made me cry because my grandma died and it made me think of her but she is in heaven
No cussing.
No sexual content.
No drugs.
No alcohol.
No guns or weapons.
Just meaningful lyrics, and a soothing rhythm & voice.
The music we really need ♥
🙄
Does anyone wonder if the music video is inspired by "The Iron Giant" or is it just me? Love his music never gets old.
This song...this video...just resonates so well with me. Thank you, Gotye.
Hardly ever found a song in my life representing me up to this level, word by word.
This music is absolutely delicious.
H. F
*#lovedabacon*
Gotye is Peter Gabriel in our time
I wish someone would save me
I hope somebody saved you Harrison, everyone deserves to be saved.
Wow, someone who can actually make good music for once
I commented on this video years ago how Somebody I Used To Know hit home on Kimbra's part was everything I wanted to say to my abusive ex and Save Me was meeting my now husband when I could not love myself and he saved me. Now we've been together almost 11 years and I still revisit this song not just because it's awesome but because it reminds me of how my husband saved me. My ex actually contacted me a couple of weeks ago which set off all my anxieties and once again my husband was there to save me so I will keep coming back to this song because it makes me smile how lucky I am to have a husband who saved me.
Idk why but this song made me feel peace with my last relationship even though already was something about this song made me realize the love of my life is right around the corner
This song is so deep!!
6 months later still deep lol
Stephen Ross Love this song :)
still fucking love it lol
preach!
The only thing that could possibly make 2020 bearable is if Gotye suddenly dropped another album. Come on Gotye, save me 😉
Yes
I thought they were bacon strips for a moment
Delicious bacon!!
They're not?? O_O
Everyone in this comment thread has an animal as their profile picture.
Not anymore they don't.
Nicholas Musser
You just had to go and ruin a beautiful thing, didn't you?
years later, this song is sounding better and better. way ahead of its time.
My most favorite song from this album ❤️❤️❤️
2020
A underrated masterpiece
Hope Gotye comes back
This song has more feelings than some Families would give to it’s members... I love this guy’s songs honestly. Real Talent.
Masterpiece
It is not only "Somebody that I used to know". I realize he is becoming my favorite new performer. I prefer "old" music.
Randomisticful listen to state of the art this dude is very versatile and talented
I was watching the video and tears started coming out of my eyes. I wasn't sad or happy. I was just stunned. I didn't know how to feel. All felt was the warm feeling of my tears running down my face.
What I would wish had been Gotye’s second Number One hit.
I love this song and u help me help myself
I'm not crying you're crying.
Odkryłem Gotye dopiero 9 lat temu i do dzisiaj słucham każdego tygodnia.
A ja 7 lat temu i też słucham każdego tygodnia.🙂
This brings back memories. I used to watch all of Goyte's videos with my dad, sometimes my mom, and my siblings.
this man needs more recognition and accolades, he pours blood, sweat, and tears into everything he makes.
The greatness of this piece comes from the fact of how many interpretations comes to different people depending of their lives stories. For me this is a song about God in my life...
This song means so much more to me now then it did last year when I first heard it. I know what the words truly mean. But now I know that I can only save myself...the lonely life is life.
HOZIER AND GOTYE ***NEED*** TO MAKE A SONG TOGETHER!!!
Every single gotye song must be listened to while wearing headphones, or you're truly missing out on the full experience
Will I ever find an artist with a mind as beautiful as Gotye's?...
how did i *just* find this beautiful song?
Essa música mexe comigo desde o primeiro dia que há ouvi.
A mother's love for her Son, unconditional love. Guidance, support, proving he is worthy. . I love my SON.
This masterpiece never fails to bring me to tears... So touching and deep..
I just love the way Gotye's mind works and I love the innovation he used here with the thumb piano. No-one has ever heard that instrument played in that fashion before - brilliance.
Can't wait to see what he comes out with next...
It's 2020 and I'm sad you didn't make more music. But i still come here to listen to this masterpiece.
This might seem the happiest, but I read that he was depressed at a time in his life, I've been a fan for 10 years. And going through depression, I can relate to this.
Fifth song i listen from this gotye. All great. My god i buy his album right now.
i bought the album its really amazing =)
This is happening to me in this exact moment. I started rewatching "Somebody That I Used to Know", and then ended up watching 6 or 7 of his music videos in a row. Jesus, he is SO good!
I don't know how, but I cried a little watching this
Extraordinário!!! ... é única palavra que me vem a mente quando vejo esse clipe!
Es arte
Such an uplifting song!
really feel like that when trying to get out of bed fr
The fact that this video doesn't even show up when I search for Save Me makes me lose all hope in humanity.
God I miss him
This song takes me back🥺just makes me realise how much I took being a child for granted💔
damn thats how ive been feeling lately
2019 still listen
And still love gotye
This always makes me think about the Iron Giant at the end when he's alive an putting himself back together in the snow. I love this song Gotye will always be one of my favorite artists.
You are not alone Gotye
This song comes to my mind when i feel empty 'that always happens lol
I can relate to this so much & I wish to God I didn't. Having anxiety disorder & hearing this makes me feel like somebody understands.
Gotye has that gift to connect his music videos with his lyrics.
2021 y aún sigo escuchando esta belleza....
One of the most beautiful songs ever...Almost brings a tear to my eye.
