it amazes me that he even attempts to play a song like this live. i always assumed this was a song strictly for the studio but i was very wrong. He uses another mic for the vocal effects like Thom Yorke did when Radiohead played Kid A live in 2014. Gotye is brilliant.
actually he still works out there but indeed he decided to take a break after somebody's song that I used to know you can see his activities with the orchestra on his Instagram account. even though he rarely updates his Instagram account
shame this has so much backing track, in an attempt to make it sound like the record, i would prefer it more live, you can barely hear the instruments you see on screen.
