How can he be underrated when he has one of the most popular songs in the universe? His song has been heard by at least 1/4th the entire population of Earth.
I'm living with your memory In the attic in my mind And you've been getting by without me But I've been spending all my time With a girl that I remember Who'll never leave or need to grow 'cause when you left you left your memory Now it's the only thing I know When the past gives me no comfort And though the future is the cost The way I'm choosing to remember I'll forever be the man I never was And you, you fade But the memory remains the same And I, I can't change And I think that living with your memory Is slowly driving me insane You are perfect but you're empty And it gets so lonely in my mind 'cause your image in my memory's The only shred of you that's left behind You were real but then you left me And that's the part I can't accept So I'll keep on living with your memory Because it's all that I've got left
Gotye is one of my favorite artists. The way his music makes me feel is much more vivid than with other music. His song bronte made me cry like a waterfall and whenever I listen to somebody that I used to know i get goosebumps all over. His song 7 hours with a backseat driver makes my fantasy go on a journey full of comical and macabre things. His music videos are always very fitting too. I am full of anticipation for more of his interesting content.
Loved this song..Not sure why this is not so popular amongst Gotye songs .. ? Lyrics, music, singing everything perfect.. + emotions it generates.. This will always remain one of my fav songs. Gotye please come up with your next big album..Waiting for your Grammy .. !
***** Since when supporting gay people is the right thing to do ? Would you agree that your kid, may it even be unborn, yet, will watch, my pardons, stare, at a gay couple in the public, while they kiss ?! Two men? Be serious, what's going wrong with you, people ?!
I keep coming back to this song over and over again, year after year, for nearly a decade. And it gets me every damn time, everything about it, from the instrumental to the production, to the lyrics, all of it. Truly one of his best songs If not THE best.
I will always love this song! Heavy but light, complex but simple, emits great atmosphere and the sounds are really well thought out. I always find a new instrument listening to this. Yeah!
Memories broken The truth goes unspoken I’ve even forgotten my name I don’t know the season Or what is the reason I’m standing here holding my blade A desolate place Without any trace It’s only the cold wind I feel It’s me that I spite As I stand up and fight The only thing I know for real There will be blood-shed The man in the mirror nods his head The only one left Will ride upon the dragon’s back Because the mountains don’t give back what they take Oh no There will be blood-shed It’s the only thing I’ve ever known Losing my identity Wondering have I gone insane To find the truth in front of me I must climb this mountain range Looking downward from this deadly height And never realizing why I fight
people don't understand what kind of legend is Gotye. He understood the aim in his life which the majority of people don't understand in their lifetime.
Gotye.. Why you stopped? You have a lot of talent.. you have little-piece-of time.. Gotye.. You *Saved me* , and i *Used to know you!*, And *The Only Thing I Know* Is that you are a great artist.. So please..You have a grate *State of Art*..You made my *Eyes Open* We want your voice..again.. and.. *What do you want?..
His greatest song. A haunted man, stuck with nothing but memories. “I can’t change/and I think that living with your memory/is slowly driving me insane.”
A DESOLATE PLACE (PLACE) WITHOUT ANY TRACE (TRACE) ITS ONLY THE COLD WIND I FEEL ITS ME THAT I SPITE AS I STAND UP AND FIGHT THE ONLY THING I KNOW FOR REAL
+Jade Hernandez He went back to working with his band the Basics. They made an album. Gotye seems to be something he does while doing other things (e.g. the main sample from 'Eyes Wide Open' is from the Winton musical fence, and he went their while touring with the basics.)
Goyte, you have amazing talent. Authentic taste in music and we'd all love you to keep going, despite the fact that you might not be getting noticed after your Somebody That I Used To Know, people still follow you, listen to your work. Sometimes, it's not necessary to get your work noticed but to keep doing what you love to. It might be hard, because I have no clue of it, we'd all be amazingly happy if you come back.
This is a strange case... When I listened to this album I found that a common problem among a lot of the songs is that they meandered for long periods of time, without adding anything new, making the song feel a bit too long and kind of empty (some examples of this are the end of "The Only Way" after the drum solo, when he repeats the line he already sang, but without the interesting harmony and the end of "Thanks For Your Time" where he repeats "Thanks for your time" *twelve times* without adding anything new and just repeating samples he's already used). And yet, despite this being his longest song on the album, I don't notice this problem that much. Even though he does have long stretches of song with no lyrics or chord changes, he keeps them interesting by constantly adding new instruments and layers (or by going crazy with the drums). This and "The Only Way" are my two favorite songs on the album.
This song is so great. Way better than somebody that I used to know in my modest oppinion. Gotye, please return, we need good music, now more than never.
Why he never return? I came here because somebody that i used to know, hve rewatched it uncountable times, have explored other songs and those are so unique and amazing,
Finalmente um BR que gosta e que tem a msm percepção que eu sobre essa música kkkk sério se essa música fosse tocada em tudo que é rádio na época seria outro hit
We’re never gonna give you up gotye, I hope somebody that we used to know never let us down...I won’t run around and desert you, but what do you know about rolling down in the deep? When my brain goes numb, I would never tell a lie and hurt you..
I just heard this song while training in Jiu-Jitsu. My sensei loves music and has a lot on his phone. This song came on while during Randori. I had to find it right after class. I love this.
"THE ONLY THING I KNOW FOR REAL: THERE WILL BE BLOOOODDDD SHEEEDDDD THE MAN IN THE MIRROR NODS HIS HEAD THE ONLY ONEEEEE LEEEFFTTT WILL RIDE UPON THE DRAGON'S BACK BECAUSE THE MOUNTAINS DON'T GIVE BACK WHAT THEY TAKEEE OHHH NO THERE WILL BE BLOOOD SHEEDD IT'S THE ONLY THING I'VE EVER KNOOOOWN!" -Gotye
