Gotye “Somebody That I Used To Know" (ft. The Basics & Monty Cotton) [Official Video] 

Damn, true words have never been spoken

When he said that, I felt it

He's speaking the language of God.

Honestly I didn’t know what he said till years later “ Make out like in never happened and that we were nothing”

Bars💜💜💜

His soul is in the music for life

That smile. He's having a blast

This is from November 2018

Do you want to drink it

@@fridakahlo5360 of course

True. Really talented

i couldnt agree more

it sounds like he's singing the same song but with an entirely different perspective on what he's singing about

Practice makes perfect.

Dude's sung this song a million times, so it's only going to evolve and mature.

This is the first song where I think a comment like this is actually right

I mean it's his song so of course he makes it sound good

YES

yeah quite literally LOL

bro knew i’d look through the comments

he laughed because they messed up.

@@candygubble1719 Did they ?

@@ASALWAY Didn't sound like it

In the original song, its a solo for the bass, so it keeps silence and prepares everything for the chorus, so Gotye kinda looked at him because of that

This music is a plagio of Brazilian Artist.

@@WagnerVaz qual?

His voice development and range is fascinating.

So true, it sound really powerful and it touches you right in

@@niallheneghan7147 It was a joke...

The "full reverse Avatar" would be "He's back when noone needed him at all" but I let your comment pass this time.

He lets people use his music for free I’m pretty sure

It’d be a bit annoying

@@Kiokatz_ ya he dose smh

Psh, wdym smh? That’s so cool of him, he doesn’t copyright or charge anyone because he wants everyone to have access and to have fun with it

a true artist, he isn't in it for the money or fame

Bruv so true

did u just copied this comment from an another top comment on an another upload a year ago?

because i swear i saw this comment before

Coffee- Cup he is really good at singing, but I wish he didn’t use voice tune.

And tastes better with Coke

Just like Rick Astley

I mean he pretty much did 😅

Jesus the pun

I think is pretty cute KQEJIW

@brutal brain tumor tbh The only thing this version is missing to be perfect is Kembra in her part.

She's kimbra??

Can you please explain on what that line means? Would really help me out. Thanks!

@@PleaseWork-b1d After being destroyed from a breakup and becoming depressed, you feel a certain emotional relief in your despair. A hopeful state that sort of tells you you will be ok. the pain is so strong and permeating that you can become so used to it that you would rather stay depressed and cut off from the world than have to face the daunting prospect of creating happiness for yourself.

@@PleaseWork-b1d"like resignation to the end, always the end" is the second part of that sentence in the song. basically, the line is saying that sometimes you can be so used to feeling sad/depressed that feeling anything other than that (like happiness) can feel weird. you chase the feeling of sadness because it feels better to stay that way because it is what is normal, and therefore more comfortable. humans are creatures of routine, so we seek out what is familiar, oftentimes.

Womp womp, keep crying

@@ptr_does_music7042 he was in the band before the song I think

Would've been short but imagine if the song ended like that.

That smile is because his guitar player was supposed to stop playing right before the chorus - he even looked over and tried to cue him. 😂

Lets hope the next album is at least coming out int he next 5 years lol

Right. Still waiting on the fourth one. He’s pulling a “Tool” I swear 😂😂

Couldn't agree more. Making Mirrors is definitely in my top 5 albums of all time.

Fk my end is near 💔.

Totally!! I agree!! ❤❤

Sucks at some part

yes yes yes you couldn’t be more right!! those notes are HARD and he sings them with such ease

Is very impressive yes but quite clear to me they’re using some form of live autotune

@@jackcaldwell7938 He speaks multiple times throughout the performance so it can't be live, and even if it was done post-production I don't think it would work because the other microphones would pick up the un-autotuned signal.

Ikr like ppl are like “it no hard” but it IS HARD

I read this the moment he started singing it

Yeah, it's a different (but equally good) version

But he does show some emotion in the music video! When kimbra is yelling at him he gets a hurt look on his face lol

Part of the point of the song is that the two voices have different perspectives on the same events: the first voice isn't necessarily a reliable narrator.

pinto

Agreed ! Some voices get better with time ! He used to sound like Sting, he still does but with his own style 😊

@sleepy • 16 years ago No

I like his high vocals more then the original but I like his lower vocals on the original more then this

"His scuffed voice" made me laugh lmfao

I believe that technique is called "compressed" or "distorted" vocals

Jesus loves you so so very much! He always will. No matter what! You do not have to earn salvation, it was given as a gift from Jesus. We are called on this earth to be disciples of Him and to preach His Gosepl where we can, we are to bring as many people as we can to Christ and His Kingdom. We are to preach the gosepl to the ends of the earth. Jesus died so that we may be set free. Do not live with fear of man (people pleasing, fear of getting rejected, believing that others can only give us worth when only God can give us worth because He is the only worthy one). Preaching the gospel to as many as we can, even in nervousness, even in knowing we may be rejected, even in knowing that is hard (courage is to do so emerging even when sacred), Jesus had so much anxiety about going on the Cross that He cried tears of blood to the Father, to God. But he died anyway, in pain He took the weight of our sins and carried that Cross on uneven ground-most likely tripping, but getting back up- because He had us in mind! Because He loves us so much that He was willing to die the most painful and horrific death, so that we may spend eternal life in Heaven rejoining and praising Him. He was in pain, but God! But God did it anyway, because HE LOVES US!! HE ALWAYS WILL!! NO MATTER WHAT!! He knew that if He didn’t die the way He was called to, we wouldn’t have eternal life, so He died anyway for us, and rose again so that we may live with Him forever. With joy, and praise and no suffering nor pain. Because God is that God. And He always will be that good!! Amen

You know there are more promises in the Bible about giving than anything else because God wants you to be like him. God is a giver. Everything you have is a gift from God -- He's generous and he wants you to be generous too. The Bible says, "A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." (Proverbs 11:25 NIV) Doesn't that verse just make you smile? There's a reason why it always feels good to help others, whether you're giving financially, giving materially, or giving of your time.
