The music video symbolising the colour or *sigh* beauty draining from him after breaking up renders it pretentious for me but people seem to love it and it's played everywhere when you're out too. I'm no authority on break up themed songs but imo it belongs in the 'Meh' category.

foxyboxer wrote: » Agreed. But looking at the video and considering the amount of time it took to film it, I'm sure there's some meaning to it and Gotye himself would have had some input to the 'theme' of the video when spending such an amount of time making the video. My interpretation would be that he is filled with colour and after a break up he is drained of said colour and left bare and naked. How original and pretentious. An unpopular opinion.
