    Both Gotye and Kimbra are extremely talented artists, I can't stop listening to 'Somebody I Used to Know' at the moment, it's just so so brilliant and has proper meaning to it, both in terms of it's lyrics and video.


    I'm also loving this one by Kimbra, she is going to be huge!

    Yeah the walk off the earth cover made me get into Gotye myself.

    Really love the Learnalilgivinanlovin song. Reminds me a lot of Genesis myself!

    When I first heard Somebody That I Used To Know on the radio i thought it was Sting & Katy Perry :pac: A lot of people commenting on youtube are saying that too so im not the only one ha

    this song is okey but i'm not a massive fan, when i first heard this song it reminded me of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9gq-ANfjc0

    considering this song is of his third album and this is the first we've heard of him I don't think he is that great.

    Only heard this song for the first time yesterday and then again this morning on way to work so had to Youtube it. Surprised to see it was released in July. Really good, very Stinglike. Love this song and intend to investigate further.

    How do you pronounce the name? I take it it's not "Gotcha" but it would be if he was Irish!

    From Wikipedia
    Wouter "Wally" De Backer (born 21 May 1980), also known professionally by his stage name Gotye, is a Belgian-Australian[1] multi-instrumental musician and singer-songwriter. The name "Gotye" is derived from "Gaultier" (or "Gautier" or "Gauthier"), the French equivalent of "Wouter" ("Walter" in English).

    Peter Gabrial/Phil Collins in the chorus anyone? Definitely some genesis in his voice.

    2:55. Is he trying:
    (a) not to look
    (b) to think about his granny naked
    (c) both?

    Nah, if I were him I would check that his mother wasn't a roadie for The Police, even the way his face is shaped reminds me so much of Sting.

    This too shall pass.

    I don't mind this song, but think he might be a one hit wonder as we havn't heard of him before and this is of his third album!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 90 ✭✭windingo


    Have to say, I'm not really fussed on this guy. First time I heard this I thought it was Sting & Katy Perry!

    His song 'Hearts a Mess' from a previous album is really good as well.
