i feel like most people, like "one hit wonders," is that their most famous song is their best song. Somebody that I used to Know is good, but Gotye's the kind of guy where if you listen to more of his stuff it's even BETTER than what he's known for. i love the artistic-ness, effort, and meaning in his songs

Gotye if you ever read this, let me explain why I think this is brilliant: I interpret the length of the song as life, it's too short. Your movement is tucked as if it's your duty, and not your own will. The days start to blend in and the fire could be the the build-up inside that at the end makes you say "Screw this, I'm taking the easy way out."

My MAN!.. Thank you

I love the concept of his videos. He seems like a person who has been through/is going through some rough times and he expresses himself via the art of music. Love it.

He is the only artist that don't put ads on his songs. Salute!

Fame isn't something a talented person "deserves" or ideally should strive for. The expression of the art in the chosen medium is its own reward. I hope that people don't think that fame is something that somehow tallies how "good" something is. I'm saying this because lots of comments in Gotye's music videos say "oh, why isn't he more famous?" and I think that's kind of.. a disappointing mindset? idk, just me?

I've found that, while I'm not always crazy about some of his songs, I always adore the music videos, and in effect, almost always end up loving the music because of it.

rumor has it if you only watch half of this video and wait 7 days, Gotye turns up to your house in the rain and yells "you didn't have to cut me off" though your bedroom window.

I love how accurately the music video depicts life. There's a point where life becomes a vicious cycle and you desperately to find a way out.

One of the things I love about Gotye is that he bothers with real music videos when most of the industry only really make a token stab at them these days or dismiss them as irrelevant. His always tell a real story.

I Miss This Song. 🖤

Geesh man, this music just never does and never will get old. This song definitely explains how life is just one hell of a handful. I can easily picture Gotye bring a movie actor too.

I love this video, creative and great catchy tune.

@@FSAPOJake I think it's a little bit of both. When you have chronic depression, it isn't always there, but there's episodes, it can stay for months and can lead to suicidal thoughts if it gets that bad. During these depressive episodes, you feel like the walking dead. You get no lasting joy out of things you actually like, nothing feels worth doing because it feels like there's no point. You feel like you're just going in circles, going through the motions, just to be back in the same spot you never moved from. It feels like a never-ending routine that you just want to be free from, and for some, that idea of freedom may include suicide. For others it might be running away, or some sort of drastic life change... or just sleeping life away until the depression wanes. All can seem like easy ways out.

The (sometimes....well...most of the time) crippling, dull, destructive monotony of modern life and existence. Gotye hits the nail on the head again :D This man's an underdog prodigy

An Artist and a Musician.

I remember watching this over and over when I was just a little kid who didn't know any English. I just liked the music, but couldn't understand the meaning of the lyrics and the video was the only thing I could suppose it was about... and damn, I always found it so sad, I still remember my thoughts being always like "I just don't want to end like this guy"
