Gotye performing "Somebody That I Used To Know" Live on KCRW 

Kimbra is doing a magic spell to make people remember this song again

We need this man again for 1 song in the 2020’s and then dip again.

Man just dropped this banger then went back to his planet

Dear stranger.... You have a great taste in music..... See you again after 20 yrs.

Kimbra : Moving her hands deaf people : "I feel that"

They look like a high school band and it’s amazing

This dude dropped a song and truly became somebody that we used to know

Anyone else come back to this every once in a while and think, "Man. This song still gets me."

These two made the perfect vocal match for this.

Kimbra: *WIZARD HANDS* Gotye: *Stand awkwardly like a grade schooler reciting the Pledge of Allegiance*

RIP 2010s, it was a great decade Edit: I like how 7 months ago people were telling me how bad that decade was, but the start of this one was worse than all 10 years of the 2010s

In year 2054 : Grandkid : Who sang this song? Me : Somebody that I used to know.

*very rare audio of an artist acctually sounding like they do on the song*

Kimbra was generous enough to translate her part to sign language

1:38 when he said: "nekalakininahappenenawiwanatin", I felt that

This woman as a second voice made the song more wonderful...❤

after 10 years, this song still gives everything to me.

It still hits 12 years later

10 years later. still a masterpiece

One of the greatest one hit wonder in music history. I'm still listening to this in 08/ 2024 . This song will never get old. I have big respect for him for having the guts to just walk away. Being famous wasn't for him.

It’s weird seeing Gotye and Kimbra fully clothed and not covered in paint.

*Gotye* Last Online - *8 Years Ago*

10 years later and this song still hits different. Truly a masterpiece.

People all talking about him making one song and leaving. Some people spend a lifetime making just 1 song hoping it will become something like this. He waited and practiced for this moment of this exact song and when it was done he accomplished what he set out to do. Job well done.

“When the world needed him most, he vanished”

The entire time gotye looks like he was trying to hide a laugh

Gosh this song was everywhere. Imagine being his ex and hearing this all the time wherever you go. Good luck lol

It’s been over a decade and these vocal harmonies still send me

1:34 You didn't have to cut me off *MEKALAKENEPEHAPENENDEWEEWEN nothing*

He came He sang He vanished I have respect for this guy. I wish there was more :'(

Producer: So what songs are you gonna make after this? Gotye: No

One of the greatest songs ever written 👏

Gotye: Makes one of the best songs of the 2010s Also Gotye: Alright imma head out peace

when that girl said ✋🏼🖐🏼🤙🏼👏🏼👋🏼🤚🏼🤙🏼🖐🏼🤚🏼✋🏼👋🏼👏🏼 we all felt that tbh

mad respect for them. They made a great song, got a Grammy, collected the bag, and ran off into the sunset.

12 years later,still listening this masterpiece....

anyone else go through a phase where all the sudden this sounds like the best song of all time?

This song is basically the whole of the 2010s in 4 minutes

Gotye really dropped the hardest breakup anthem of the 2010s, collected the bag and dipped. Mad respect.

Kimbra coming in hard with those pipes after chilling in the cuts 3 quarters of the song !!!

Somebody that I used to know performing "Somebody that I used to know"

She literally morphs the sound particles with her hands to get the perfect pitch and tone.

I absolutely love this girl. She looks like she took her hour lunch break from the library to come do this radio gig.

Lyric 👇 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 But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough No, you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records and then change your number I guess that I don't need that, though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know 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 But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (aah-ooh) And I don't even need your love (ooh) But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (aah) No, you didn't have to stoop so low (ooh) Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (aah) I guess that I don't need that, though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Somebody (I used to know) Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know) Somebody (I used to know) Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know) I used to know That I used to know I used to know Somebody

Producer: "How much nostalgia do you want?" Gotye: *Y E S*

Still can't believe it's already been 10 years since this masterpiece came out. Damn - i'm getting old...

Hand jokes aside, can we talk about how genuinely good they are without autotune, it deadass sounds just like the song

first time I've heard this beautiful song. After pain after grief, after disappointment..face yourself be true to yourself. You'll be fine. So powerful.

One of the best live performances i've ever seen.

Gotye is the first singer I've ever seen that always keeps his arms on his side without moving while singing.

Let’s be thankful that this comment section isn’t a calendar..

Kimbra lives and breathes this song. You can't not see it. She's brilliant here, this is full body and heart singing ❤

Almost 2022 and I still come back to this performance and am still amazed by how amazing this is

Fun fact: this guy has been gone for so long that people though he committed suicide so he had to make a public statement that he was still very much alive.

She really needs to start off her pottering classes. She’s a natural.

'' The ones who are desperate for love won't ever find it, irony is that love always falls in the hands of people who does not value it ''

The lyrics, the build-up, the hooks, the harmonies. Easily the best pop song of the ‘10s.

Gotye looks like that awkward kid in college who s lowkey created an app then suddenly becomes a billionaire

It's crazy how I always seem to come back to this song. It's a timeless masterpiece.

Baby girl just chilling in the background.. then fire flame in the studio

Why him and Kimbra didn’t just form a band together is beyond me. They could rule the world.

2:42 she is goin to cast a spell on RU-vid algorithm

They really gave us an addicting song, then became somebody that we used to know

She is incredible

He is like my dad. He popped up in 2010 and then vanished for the rest of my life.

1:38 “Maketliketnevahappenanatwewanothin” still gets me.

I cant be the only person returning to this song every once and then

this song is a hit 10 years and still insanely incredible to listen to

This man dropped a song and literally became somebody we used to know.

Life was waaaay better when this dropped.

This man made one hit, became a millionaire and dipped. Fair play

Still lisening after all these years. Excellent song.

I dont think people realize how good this song actually is. Its timeless.

why is gotye bouncing like a fighting character select screen

This song is so universal, it could have been released in 1982, 2002 or 3052, it would still fit.

GOTYE built his own instruments, made his Own sounds....... it's always SO GREAT to can see REAL ARTISTS PERFORMING.

Gotye: "wanna be millionaire" Kimbra: "let's do a hit and go back to bed"

This song never dies even in 2023

This song is like the PSP, way ahead of it's time...

Kimbra is mesmerizing in this video and Gotye conveys the hurt perfectly. This is one of the best recorded duets of all time. I never get sick of watching it.

Just imagine you're the producer, sitting in the studio and you hear these guys sing this for the first time...

she's so cool and talented, she sang it perfectly while doing the kamehameha.

That girl knows black magic 🧝‍♂️

Super clever tune.

She looks like a french girl that you fall in love with when you go to France for a vacation

quarantine makes me want to listen songs like these again. 2020

All jokes aside: This is an amazing live performance

Of all the songs ever written and sung, these two singers with this song is more than PERFECT, it's beyond UNREAL and really touches the chord. Words cannot describe it. She's PERFECT, big time perfect and so is he.

And when the world needed him most, he vanished.

Forget Korra. Kimbra has already mastered airbending. The Legend of Kimbra.

I'll never get why the two of them didn't make a band, their vocals are perfect together, and She is amazing

June 2024..... Anyone?

Now gotye is somebody that we used to know :(

10 years later and i still love this song as if it was just released. it's on my "forever favorites" playlist.

Gotye's voice is just incredible.

I cant believe i am back to listening to this song all over again

No one: RU-vid: let’s push this into everyone’s recommended to round off the decade

They genuinely all look like Sims characters.

It's so easy to forget she only has a minimal part in this song, but she absolutely commands every single second she's singing. I'll never tire of hearing this song.

Watched every possible cover of this and nobody captures that raw, melancholic emotion those two have. I really feel like they broke up. Masterpiece.
