I like the symbolism of when they're singing together and he's not looking at her & just keeps shouting over her, while she's facing him, in his face, trying to get his attention. he only looks at her when she walks away. idk, i may be reaching but to me that how i've always seen it.
Cinematography exists for a reason, nothing is just done because of whatevs
You aren't reaching at all
I also appreciate how the paint disappears from her body once she's "done."
She's quite literally out of the picture when the paint comes off
Oh I read it differently, he was naked and vunerable to start with, as his colour/emotion grew he became someone. She shouted over his words and feelings and was exposed/naked in the end
And, the two different takes on their relationship in the song,by a woman and a man in comments, pretty much reflects what the song is saying.
When this song first came out, I didn't realize he was the toxic one. I didn't for years. I heard her words but I didn't listen to them. That was because I was him at that time. It wasn't until I was in therapy and learning to be self-aware that I really heard what she was saying. And it still blows my mind that I wasn't able to understand her side or the side of the ex that wanted to be "friends" but then a month later blocking me 😂 this was my anthem 😂
😂
Bruh I just realized this right just now, like damn I never really listened to what she said
And that was the point.@@KhaoticHybrid
Yeah.. it's beautiful composition. You get his point of view for 2 verses, and you're on his side.. but then!!! She has her say.. it's just a perfect composition. And the beat and music just drives it home.
I always thought of it as the painting is his world. That's why his face is painted as well. She came into his world and became a part of it, but her face isn't painted to symbolize that she's herself trying to fit into his world. The paint stripping away at the end is her not being a part of his world anymore. She is letting go of all that he was to her and moving and becoming herself again. No longer a part of his world. He stands there, staring at her, watching as he is left behind, in his world, alone without her. He says he didn't need her. The way he watches her and doesn't look away, as she cleanses herself of him and everything they were says otherwise.
I think her face being hidden when we first see her alludes to her making everything in the relationship about him and being completely "in" on the to the point of not being seen. She was invisible in his world to him, until she got tired of it. She finally had enough and spoke up for herself. She revealed her face and her side of the story. She moves through his world, not a part of his background anymore. He sees and acknowledges her, but he turns his head and doesn't listen. Only turning back to say his part of it. She withdraws and he watches her go. She turns to look at him, they stare at each other as it all falls away. She strips more and more of "him" away, yet he doesn't move an inch to try and stop her.
Thats my two cents anyway. This video and song are real art. It's up to you to decide what it all means. Cheers. Nice reaction.
In a more simplistic manner, I saw the painting coming to cover him as though he was 'fading into the background', meanwhile the painting coming off of her was her 'leaving the picture'.
@@stevehatcher7700 Yes, background is what I always thought it meant.
There aint no damn way anyone went without hearing this song back when it came out. Was literally everywhere
I watched the Grammy awards when the late Prince announced Gotye won a Grammy for this song. Prince said: I love this song. This was good. I am not a fan of awards shows but this was worth watching.
Gotye, pronounced "gow · tee · ay" is an Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who, on occasion, performs solo, or in this case a duet. His full-time gig is with the group "The Basics".
My analysis of the meaning of the song is different than most. There are 3 individuals depicted here. He and 2 women. He sings about the first one in his opening stanza. He told himself she was right for him but still felt lonely in her company and that's an ache he still feels to this day. He got addicted to the sadness of knowing it was going to end and when it did she promised they would still be friends. She lied, she just wanted to get away from him. Why? When they broke up she did everything she could to distance herself from him. He begins whining about how unfair and hurtful that was. He tries to comfort himself by saying he doesn't need that aggravation.
Enter girl number 2, Kimbra. She got involved with him after his breakup with girl number 1. At this point, they have already separated. Why? He kept screwing her over and making her believe it was her fault. This is probably the same reason girl number 1 dumped him. She didn't want to live with someone like that. On top of that, he said he could let his breakup with girl number 1 go and "SHE WOULDN'T CATCH HIM HUNG UP ON SOMEBODY THAT HE USED TO KNOW". She could read into his words and actions that he obviously could not. So he dumped him too.
Love this song and getting to hear both sides. Based on both their lyrics, it definitely comes across like he was a narcissist in the relationship. In his lyrics he was talking about how he felt lonely with her, and how he was glad it was over. He even says he doesn't need her love but is hurt because she cut him off. She seems to be actually trying to have a conversation about what went wrong in their relationship, yet he doesn't look at her and goes straight back to saying that she didn't have to cut him off. Unlike her, he's not heartbroken, his ego is just hurt
No it doesn’t. It’s just the course of most relationships. He’s saying that if it didn’t work, it hurts, but they were friends and the end of their romantic relationship didn’t have to be so harsh. He said he felt lonely in her presence. From what she says he tried to communicate that to her and she wouldn’t deal with it. Hardly a narc. He sounds more depressed than anything. Narcs wouldn’t care at all or they would become psychos instead of resigned. If anything she could be the narc as he was trying to connect and she refused. His attempts to communicate his loneliness were taken as accusations by her. Narcs hate criticism, that’s the ego. That said, it’s more likely and common that they just weren’t compatible.
@@teddyjackson1902 I didn’t interpret it that way. Based on what he’s saying, he wasn’t happy in the relationship at all. He was literally glad it was over and talked about not needing her love. He was only hurt when she cut him off after they broke up. Even in the song he only looks at her, or pays her any attention when she’s leaving. You can also tell that’s what they were going for because when we hear her side of the story, we see him wincing at the truth in her lyrics. Especially when she said “but had me believing it was always something that I’ve done”. She is not connecting back with him not because she’s being harsh, but because he was a narcissist in the relationship and she needs to get away. He doesn’t see why they can’t be friends because he isn’t hurt the way she is. He was not depressed or heartbroken. Like I said before, his ego is just hurt that she is okay without him
@@tmm4195 clearly you didn’t. That’s why I chimed in. Yes, he was glad it was over because it was failed. You shouldn’t feel alone in an intimate relationship. The hurt he’s expressing is because when he apparently broke up with her (not something a narc does), she changed her phone number and completely excised herself from his life. He felt it was extreme. He’s not demanding anything of her, he’s not threatening her, he’s saying it hurt more than it needed to and he apparently cared for her enough to want to have a platonic relationship afterwards. That’s what he says. Anything else about narcissism or whatever is a projection.
@@teddyjackson1902 No it’s not. Everything in the song literally leans towards him being a narcissist in the relationship. He didn’t break up with her, she broke up with him because of his behavior towards her. That’s why he said he was glad it was over. He didn’t do the breaking up. If you can’t read into that, well then I can’t help you. I mean it’s pretty obvious lol
@@tmm4195 you don’t know what a narcissist is.
“Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
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
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well, you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over”
If anything it was a mutual separation and he says as much. There was a conversation. She said they would remain friendly but was apparently not being honest. Narc trait for sure.
I remember when this song was everywhere, but I never really listened. Hearing it now, i was relating to that horrible feeling of being "just somebody that you used to know" when you spent years with them. Hard to explain, but losing the romantic relationship isn't as bad as losing the friendship. It's kinda like when someone dies. You have random moments when you see something and instantly think of sharing it with this person, but then remember you can't. It sucks.
Exactly.. almost feels like it never even happened..
Love how paced this song is to let what is sung sink in❤
Two sides to every story
The imagery is so telling as well. They start far apart, get closer then far apart only to have her shed the paint symbolizing that she's washed herself of their relationship. Amazing song.
I love how simple yet deep the lyrics and visuals are. I love the visual of Kimbra yelling in his face. They almost look like they’re arguing.
I love this song - but I think it's deeper than that... Kimbra sings; And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know. It makes me think Gotya is still stuck in relationships from before Kimbra's verse... just a thought...
I feel like this was HER being trapped in this relationship with this guy who is hung up on his ex. This new girl is relegated to the background as he emerges. When she finds her strength, and she cuts him off, SHE emerges and he fades back into oblivion.
I love this song, but I don't see both sides, I see hers. I would cut him off too. The one line says it "...that I wouldn't find you hung up on somebody that you USED to know." It was never fair of him to get with her if he was still in love with someone else.
My ex husband was always hung up on the last person he was in a relationship with, never the one he was with. It was interesting to watch his current “hang” change throughout the years. Just like he said in the song, it was always the one he used to know.
I do understand after taking all of his BS over several years, I just could not take it anymore. I cut him off! Again, it was just like she said in the song. He also mooned over me for years. 🙄 after you treat someone badly for sooo long, they leave.
Gotey said he wrote the song after analyzing his various relationships. It’s pretty insightful for a guy.
I swear Gotye is worth to listen closer! Every song sounds different! It’s a shame that they are reduced to a one hit wonder!
My suggestion is: my heart is a mess!
But I don’t care I would like to tell you that every song is worth listening cause it takes you to on a journey
Bronte is so sad but love it
This man delivered a banger and then peaced out to go back to his band.
That is correct. he went back to his passion instead of bowing down.
Everyone talks about it being two sided missing the point. Her words are “you said you wouldn’t be caught up on someone you used to know” meaning he is singing about a past relashionship and ruining the current one with her because of it
Or is he in a different relationship, and is hung up on her. It can be go either way, really.
Love that you guys are reacting to different genres of music, love your guys content keep it up bro 💯
This one is a classic. Forever a bop.
Look closer at the symbolism. The painting of them could have several meanings.
He is a narcissist and doesn't mind being stuck in the same old patterns.... symbolized by the painting of him in patterns. She has tried to fit into this painting of what she should be like. In the end she leaves him in his patterns of the painting and his habits. And all the colors disappear from her. Her colors never were in a certain pattern. Her colors were fresh like nature. When she realizes she has to leave and break all.ties the colors fall from her and she is no longer in the picture... his picture
She's the 'new girl'. She tried, she approached him, tried to tell him how she felt. She looked straight at him, explaining her reasons, one last attempt to make it work, maybe. He turned his face away, kept talking over her, feeling sorry for himself over some other girl he used to know, over how it was now happening again.
Remember she said she was so happy she could die (being with him)? Or when he said he was glad it was over, and that he told himself she was right for him (he didn't felt it, just tried to convince himself)? That was their lives together, she trying to make it work, and him hung up on some other girl from his past.
She finally had enough and painted herself out of the picture that was his life, with all the shattered glass, all the odd pieces, leaving him once again playing the victim to some other girl that comes along.
this might be the greatest one hit wonder of all time.
He has other good songs but this went viral
They used one of his songs in the movie "The Great Gatsby "
I’ve never seen your channel before. You guys are great! Killer song, too.
Thank u
who else loved the dancing....more dancing is the way forward boys..✌😊
3:38 “that was foul than a mug” sums it up pretty well
first of all happy new year to you!!! may it be a year full of emotions and joy for all of you... lots of health and love ❤️ also to all the Army 💜. you surprised me.. with Gotye... a blast from the past... he has the same vocal timbre as Sting... I often make my daughters listen to these authors... thanks, it was pleasant to discover that you know him... good year again... here in Italy it's 02:17 in the morning... ciaoooo 💜🤟
Lol this song was a banger even when I was like 13 hearing it. Being older, it hits a little more, after being able to relate a bit to the lyrics.
Also, 2012 really was a golden age for music..
I LOVE how when she starts getting loud he cuts her off by saying “you didn’t have to cut me off” ugh I love this song.
This song hits me so hard now. I was with my ex for almost 13 years. He blamed me for everything. Always making feel like i did wrong. He spoke over me constantly. Kimbra.....is me! I erased myself from him a month ago.
Keep strong ma'am❤
I remember this came out when I was in high school and it was a huge radio hit. I thought it was very catchy but didn’t really understand the meaning kinda got annoying. But as an adult ??????? SHIIIIIIID it hits different 😭
I'm sure someone else commented the same as I do here! The song is a guy and a girl--that's his rebound. The guy is singing about a different girl. The girl sings to him '...but I don't wanna live this way, reading into every word you say. You said that you could let it go and I wouldn't catch you HUNG UP ON SOMEBODY THAT YOU USED TO KNOW. HE'S still hung up on the girl he's singing about...a prior girlfriend....not her. And I'm sure this sounds familiar to many a young love! The visuals--he gets painted (trapped), she was trapped & 'let it go' & the 'paint' falls away.
She's now, "Out of the picture."
Our biggest fear is dying alone. When you're heading in that direction you'll get the feeling that you've gone through life without leaving a ripple. You want to feel like you've made an impact so when a woman you've had an intimate relationship with completely ghosts you it is painful, no matter who is at fault. "You treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough!"
I'm not wild about the video but, I love this song 🎶 it's on my Playlist 🎶
I think of it as 'he painted her as something and now that they went their separate ways, she is now able to be un-painted by him' if any of that makes sense..
Everything about the music, vocals, lyrics and video is absolutely superb.
First he was in the foreground and in the flesh, then he drifted into the background . She was the background and became flesh!
You guys should react to a parody of this called, "The Star Wars that I used to know". Mind you, if you ever do react to it, it was made before Disney bought Lucasfilm, and Star Wars, and shortly after The Phantom Menice in 3D, came out.
I love this song! My favorite line is..... "Have your friends collect your records and then change your number".....
Yeah, it always sucks when the guy is so toxic that you can't go near him after the breakup because he's so unhinged
@@colleenmarin8907 I agree! Although, I was thinking the girl was so petty that she didn't even say goodbye. 🥰
Kimbra killed it.
Probably the best reaction to this brilliant song ive heard. Good job fellas.
Great Job pointing out how the Paint comes off of her, as if she is no longer part of his painting, as the relationships ends. Awesome job guys.
I used to hear this in supermarkets and such all the time, maybe that's where you heard it.
Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool? Love the simplicity of using a nursery rhyme😂
He creates the repeating pattern of unfaithfulness by getting caught hung up on somebody he used to know. Causes the current relationship to fail. He visually expresses regret and would most likely cheat on his next relationship by being with her, repeating the cycle. This is a haunting song and so addictive. It hits deep - we contain both sides within ourselves. Creators of our realities. Self sabotage - Bringing relationships to an end - addicted to sadness.
There's a Hidden layer in this
HE IS the one at fault cause the 1st verse is NOT about his current relationship to wich Kimbra respond to him, but its about HIS previous relationship, so he is (in the context of the song) in a relationship that doesn't work out, cause he is still in Love with the woman of his previous relationship wich let him go and went away.
So Kimbra (in the context of the song) is basicly telling him "Dude i did all i could, but i'm competing with someone who's not even there and i don't know why i even try since you're a douchbag with me, evne tho i did nothing wrong" and so she leave.
Him starting to become "part of the decor" as if he's dissapearing and her "leaving the decor" freeing herself from a toxic relationship and going away.
I love hearing all these theories of what is going on in the video.
So many other good tracks from him. Hearts a Mess is a classic, Thanks for Your Time, Eyes Wide Open, Dig Your Own Hole, State of The Art - and then theres the songs with his rock & roll band 'The Basics'
Love this song and Kimbra is 🔥🔥🔥
Is it just me or when he gets to the chorus, Does he sound similar to Sting?
Yes
i wss young af when i first heard it i was pike 8 shit song still is 🔥 its been 12 yrs crazy im surprised u jus knew abt it shi was popping back then on the radio and now that when u get older u know the meaning hits harder
Wow you gave the best explanation I've ever seen
A local rap group called Cloud House featuring a local rapper Young Fade here in Springfield Illinois did an awesome remix of this song , you should look it up
When an Australian explains that a person is "somebody that I used to know" it is a form of dismal, of put-down in that the person is not important to them, the person is inconsequential, not worth their time or energy. (But is the male meaning this or reacting from being hurt?) The writer and male singer is Australian.
There's a live version on CZcams from KCRW radio that sounds even better.
The beats are very similar to Tito and Tarantula - After Dark from the movie From Dusk Till Dawn.
A rare masterpiece
I always loved the fact that most people dont know is that hes is from belgium🇧🇪
The paint coming off signifies that:
Either she is no longer in the picture
Or
She has taken herself out of the picture.
Hey this is actually the first time i watch you guys . I wanna see you guys react on the radiohead (creep)
I love the way you guys explain what's going on with the song and about that person feeling 😊❤
Nice analysis!!
FYI the name sounds like go-tea-ay.
Heads up they are long time partners. Her name is Kimbra from NZ and his name is pronounced
Goy-te-ay I can’t remember what his proper name is, I think Wally but Gotye is his band name. This song was huge in the US and I’m pretty sure he won a Grammy for this song. Glad you loved it. I’m a proud Aussie and as you can imagine this song EVERYONE knows.
Liked your comments. It’s interesting to hear the male perspective. This no fly by night song. It’s been estimated that this video has been downloaded 2-3 billion times!!
You have to admit it is a masterpiece of pop music.
💗💗Old white lady
♪ Oompa Loompa, doompety doo. ♪ Greetings from Brazil, dudes.
I enjoyed y’all’s review. 💜
great reaction. as a black man we deal with this. i subbed
Dude dropped this song and it was EVERYWHERE, then he dipped.
Over a decade old. Real music!
My interpretation is there relationship was a mosaic and that's why they were painted. At the end when she loses it all they don't fit together anymore. Its just him.
to me, the background paint represents their relationship fading into the background and slowly disappearing.
Love this song! Gotye is a great producer!
7:45 basically shes outta the picture 😢
Yep, now she is painted OUT of the picture in the end. Great song.
there is always more than one point of view!..
This song my shyt
It’s him screaming but you didn’t have to cut me off while quite literally cutting her off whiles she’s singing and not listening to what she’s saying just essentially repeating himself and yelling over him
This is like the english version of Chanel by Peso Pluma in a way. Similar back and forth.
Now she's out of the picture.
Like everyone I heard this to death when it was released, but your take on a few points was fresh thought for sure, and relevant to some personal ish of mine too. Appreciate the perspective.
Nobody seems to understand that he was hung up on somebody that he used to know, (the reason for him being lonely when he was with her), & he would not give all of himself to her, ( & he probably cheated on her too because she mentions how many times he screwed her over, then, she clearly states, that he said he could get over it and that he wouldn't be hung up on somebody that he used to know)!
She got tired of it. But it was all about his ego because she cut him out of her life and moved on.
Like him, you guys failed to listen to what she said. The truth.
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over.
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done.
And I don't wanna live that way.
Reading into every word you say.
You said that you could let it go.
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know!
This motherfukers a banger, I always say educate to elevate.
Please react to them doing this song LIVE in the studio.
Great song. Go Steelers!
10/10 song
This song makes me sad because it first came out when me and my husband were having trouble, then made up. And now, after 17 years, he wants a divorce and all I can think of is this song :(
Notice they are both covered with jagged pieces...
And you see her colors coming off. She's no longer in the picture.
Twinkle Twinkle little star
I think the paint coming off of her symbolizes her leaving his picture, his world. She's no longer in the picture, you might say.
♥️
You gotta react to their 1980’s video version!
Band Perry. Done
5:35 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great reaction as ever……
A good song when it was out, but I can’t get the John podesta one with the little boy crying out my head, evil bastard…….
"go-tee-ay"
Awesome track
React Bad things by Savannah clarke please 🙏
React to Like a Stone please!, RIP Chris 😢
I like that jacket man. Nice.
Got yee
Y'all need to check out Allen stone's version
I am BTS UK ARMY, so I obviously watch you, but I love this track. This was number 1 in the UK in 2012.
You should react to The Scientist by Coldplay. The video will blow your mind. One of the best videos of all time.💜
Somebody take the pause button off that man!
