FIRST TIME HEARING Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra) REACTION 

I remember when Prince was at an award show and he presented these singers with the award of this song...before Prince read the winning name after he looked at the envelope he said "I love this song" and the winner is Gotye

This song still gives me chills

I remember when he won the Grammy. Prince said he loved this song.😍🥰

This song is like a slow burn. It blew up when it came out, which is unusual considering a lot of indie artists have a huge fan base but often stay under the radar. Gotye added a lot of cool elements to this song (a xylophone!) and those lyrics...man. You guys should check out Florence + The Machine.✌️❤️

Australian singers and the artist who painted them is an Australian artist and skin painter, Emma Hack. Brilliant song. Gotye has a Sting vibe to his voice. Both so powerful.

Shout out to Kimbra - the female vocalist. Extremely talented in her own right. Listen to her song “Settle Down” she has a rich blues voice. From memory - Gotye took a year to write and produce this song. How good is it ? The twins were hooked before they finished listening. Twins - you’re turning into fine looking men. Keeping it genuine. I’ll never get tired of your reaction videos ❤️

This song made him the first Aussie solo artist to have a US #1 single since Olivia Newton-John with "Physical" in 1981.

I love that she is calling him out. He is just so self absorbed that he doesn't even know what he did to her. They did a great project together, these two. Really captured whatever relationship they are referring to in the lyrics and video.

Deep is a good description of this song. The voices are SO raw and powerful. And he can really nail the high notes, which I know you guys like. Good recc

"Somebody that I used to know" is a way of telling a person about someone that is no longer important to you in a dismissive way.

This song still slaps!💯

In 2013 (?) Prince was the presenter for Record of the Year. They announced the 5 Nominees. When Prince opened the envelope he said “I like this song” & and announced the winner. Gotye seemed to be more surprised/excited that PRINCE listened to his music than he was about winning the award. R I P PRINCE 💜

Song came out a little over 10 years ago and I originally thought it was Sting!! There's a great breakdown of this song. I still enjoy listening to this every now and then. I'm so happy you guys finally viewed this one!!

OMG the fact that THIS is an "old song" now blows my mind. I remember when it first came out (2012, thereabouts?)! (There were a million covers [Three People on One Guitar etc] and Star Wars parodies [self explanatory] !) A lot of talented people got RU-vid mileage out of this, but this version was always the most haunting, particularly with the unexpected viewpoint of his "ex". (Did he write more?)

Oh yes...I like this guy....so unique and original...love this song and tune...BANGER

What I have always liked about this song is that you get both points of view. And the truth is somewhere in between.

I LOVED watching you two react to this. I remember when this song and video hit in 2012 and it gave me chills then, when it won at the Grammys, and it still gives me chills. I interpret the music video as a story about a guy who has faded into the background while his former lover moves on (when the paint comes off her at the end and she's looking at him but in another chapter of her life while he stays stuck in the past). I also like someone's comment on here about the colors representing a puzzle with multiple pieces/sides to the love story. Fun fact: someone made a parody of this music video called "The Star Wars that I Used to Know" - worth a watch! Also, since this is my first comment on your channel since Tim was fighting COVID, just wanna say how incredibly happy I am to see you both back, healthier, and taking 2022 by storm!

This song was everywhere a decade ago! Couldn't tell you a single other song they did 😂 But lyrically it's so relatable and the rawness of both their voices 👌💯 Also love its how overlaid with Ba Ba Black sheep/Twinkle twinkle little star. This song was/is genius

This was a banger back in the day. And it's a banger forever. Glad you's enjoyed it.

This song is a perfect description of the ending of a relationship with a narcissist. As he and his abusive ways fade into the background of her life she finds the strength to push forward and grow (the green) from the experience.

I love this song and then PRINCE (who I’ve loved and adored since I was 10) presented them with the Grammy and he even said that he was happy that this was the song that won because he loved it!!! They were so in awe!! 💜💜💜

This song was HUGE ten years ago this year. You should look up the memes. Also, here's a request for Call Me Maybe from that same year. One of the best internet trends ever

Gosh this song became SO popular it started to drive me crazy, but you guys brought me back to the first time I heard it before it was overplayed and I'm so grateful 🙏

Indie Rock, not India or Indian. It's a genre. You guys are the best!😘

I have always LOVED this one, different and beautiful.

Love this song, one of the best newer songs ever and love how she is painted out of the picture now that they are apart

Still one of the all time greatest songs IMHO. I get chills every time.

When this song first came out I fell in love with it! I listened to it over and over. I researched it and found that he used a special instrument to make the music. Kimbra ( the girl in the video) is also extremely talented. Go check her out she’s on you tube

I didn't know about this song until a few months ago and I devoured every "reaction" video I could find on it, and missed you, since you're my favorite. This is an exceptional song. Lightning in a bottle.

The female singing is Kimbra. She is a bomb vocalist from New Zealand. I saw her in person in Los Angeles laying out a Minnie Ripperton song. The show was a tribute to Minnie and she certainly proved she could hang, and could actually sing in person too, unlike so many others who rely on auto tune.

I just love at the end, when her paint is being removed. By the end of the song, she’s “out of the picture.”

I love when y’all sing It makes me laugh Y’all are great love your channel ♥️♥️

Song is perfection

I love this song...stays in rotation.

The JAM! Hope you dive into more music from Kimbra. That's the chick singing on this one. One of my faves is "Cameo Lover"

The beat fits the emotion and flow of the lyrics so well. The song is perfect in every 3 regards.

"I don't know how you have a calm yell" 😂😂

If you're looking for another powerful Gotye song to react to (or just listen to), I'd recommend Hearts A Mess.

This was the male version of every female version of a break up song i had this on steady rotation , and yes it is reminiscent of a jigsaw puzzle on purpose

This song is perfect🥰

This was the #1 song of 2012 in the USA, and a huge #1 in many, many, MANY other countries as well. The worldwide success of this song is so amazing!

You so funny fred when you get into singing mode and tim.😂😂 catchy song. Luv yuh ❤

This song is a musical masterpiece.

Another good deep song is "Say Something" by Great Big World with Christina Aguilera.

The only hard part of this reaction to believe is that yall never heard the song before! Loved this vid ❤

fun fact: this song is sampled from seville by Luiz Bonfa

He made a banger, won a Grammy and then DIPPED!!

You two are so pure, so adorable, so sincere. Love it.

It gives me chills to watch you guys experience music I love for the first time! Your enthusiasm is so cool!

no way this your first time listening to this song

I frikin love this song, and yall's channel, so...I had to click on it! So, at the end when he goes, in the background, "SOMEBODY!" "SOMEBODY", my daddy used to say, OK!WE GET IT! 🤣 It's truly hard to grieve a parent, and both young. He was only 59 and I was, what not even 30, passed from cancer in 2015 so ( IF YOU ARE CLOSE LIKE THAT, GO HUG/CALL/ OR TELL MAMA AND DADDY YOU LOVE 'EM), LIKE TODAY! NOW ! TIA! But, I rarely left home for about 3 yrs. But, the grieving process is crazy, bc like hearing this, I cracked up, and was thinking, I love you daddy! So ty! Loved it!

I love this song…, the way they did it! Happy to see you choose this one…

Settle Down by Kimbra the lady featured in the song is a good one also.

So glad to see you guys back and healthy. Been praying for you. Great reaction as always.

I always end up with a new appreciation for the songs that you feature in your videos! 🙌🏼

I love watching your videos guys. Keep it up.

Never tire of this song.🌝👍

You guys just made my morning! Back when it was released in 2011 this song was everywhere. It was so catchy that nobody could stop singing it. Then shows like Glee and other artists started doing their own covers. I can go to work now lol

The dogs "fighting" in the background fit right in with the song!

Love this song! Just love it. The feelings and the emotions and the writing - real

Such a good song!! You guys nailed it, very deep and raw song!

Indie was used to refer to independent artists. Indie is a particular sound that has little to do with past associations of independent music. Indie also encapsulates a musical philosophy. Many artists utilize alternative instrumentation, jangling guitars, and may borrow from disparate genres such as folk, dance rock, and hip hop.

I love everything about this song... it's such an artistic expression of deep love

Scracthing the surface of Australia's immense music greatness (70s 80s especially). Goyte born in Belgium - moved to Oz at 2. The girl is a New Zealander I believe.

I could listen to this song over and over. Look at Walk Off the Earth's cover it's cool too.

He is from Australia. Kimbra is from New Zealand. Nice reaction to this good song

Love that song! Thanks for educating!

Oh gosh I love you two!! Great reaction! 😂

Great song! It such a haunting melody…

HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE 1M FOLLOWERS?!!

i LOVE this song!

One of my FAVE FAVE songs!!!

You guys... every once in awhile I'll watch a reaction and you guys just lift me right up... trust! Keep doing your thing!

From the first time I heard this song I noticed a similarity in structure to Human League's " Don't you want me baby"

Well done guys, definitely entertained me during lockdown, bless you both, much love X

love this song so much

Loved this song when it came out 10 years ago, was such a good combination of a clear voice but heartfelt lyrics. Still have it on my playlist. Can’t wait till the day I see you guys reacting to Deliverance by Rationale💚💚💚

I love Walk Off the Earth’s cover of this. It really put them on the map.

I remember sitting in the office at my old job I play this song as I walked out.🤣🤣🤣

I love you guys- you are so open to all kinds of music. Your video are always awesome- you have great insight. You both have a level of maturity and understanding well above your actual ages.

You guys have such cute reactions 🥰. It’s fun to see you enjoying so many songs. I love Gotye. This song really resonates with me

R.E.M. - Losing My Religion One of the best songs ever made.

I was just as blown away with this video as you two - incredible song love her both versions (him/hers) - powerful!

Loving you guys vibing to this

Good choice…love this song. It has a haunting quality and gets into your head :).

There may be a bit of backlash because of overplay (it was everywhere when it broke), but damn this song is fire. Fire. Worth checking out - State of the Art, by Gotye, or Settle Down, by Kimbra. Bangers.

Yak now what's fkn hilaruous considering you have puppies in the background..... Whenever I hear this song, and he sings the line "and that feels so rough" ... I always add the sound effect of a small dog goin "Ruff~! " ahjahaahaahaa Perfect.

I love this song!!!!!!!! Used to play it on repeat!!!!!

First! Love u guys From a fellow twin

Check out "Walk Off the Earth" cover of this. It's like 5 people playing the same guitar and they nail it

I love this song playlist all the time

💜💜💜 I loved this song. Hadn't heard it in forever.

Your reaction is priceless🤣 I love when younger generation discovers old stuff and actually enjoys it❤

BRONTE by Gotye. Beautiful song & video. Long time watcher first time commentor! Love you guys !

One of my favorite songs

Firstly, I love this song and I genuinely enjoyed all of this. Hahaha you guys’ entire reactions. Loved it.

I never heard of Gotye before, but it was an interesting video. Thanks

Gotye videos are amazing!

I LOVE your reactions. I find myself waiting for the main beat/lyrics drop just to see your reactions.

This song and the video are perfect, nd perfect together. The pathos is apparent in every syllable sung, every lyric is layered in meaning, and the concept, art, and emotional embodiment of the video make this one of the best videos ever for one of the best songs ever.
