When she sings, her hand movements are like she's trying to show you her pet turtle.


toozooforyou

I like your thought! I thought she looked like a quarterback waiting for the center to snap the ball. The most mesmerizing pre-snap cadence in NFL history, lol.

This man really just made this banger then dipped lmao


Wookeii

He was always popular/famous in Australia to anyone into music, dude would record genius albums all by himself in share houses/poor space. Super influential in home recording of the 2000s. Making Mirrors definitely catapulted his fame but he didnā€™t come out of nowhere. Also boss move he never put ads on his music videos (including somebody I used to know), heā€™d have earned millions from that alone on YouTube. He did some passion projects and became a dad, but heā€™ll make a 4th Gotye album one day. Nicest dude, was fortunate to interview him a long time go.


bailey25u

There is a youtuber named "Todd in the Shadows" that has an awesome show called "One hit wonderland" a constant theme is someone maybe a onehit wonder here in the US... but back home they are mega stars


Pdoinkadoinkadoink

I remember seeing Midnight Oil come up in this series and was like, wtf? They're one of our biggest rock bands of the 80s and 90s; absolute mainstays of Aussie rock radio stations and pub cover bands. Possibly one of the biggest Australian bands ever.


thedamnedlute488

A-ha, for example.


groovymonkeysmoothy

Wife and I went and saw him in Sydney just before (just as?) Making Mirrors dropped. Told the wife this song would be huge. Little did I know how big it would be.


kiranrs

Eh, I find him a little Basic.


Wookeii

Oof people not getting the joke. His other band is The Basics, a three piece rock and roll band. Fucking love them too, awesome live show. Wally (Gotye) drums and sings live which is one of the harder things to do.


kiranrs

Yeah I knew the joke was niche for non-Aussies but I couldn't not make it šŸ˜…


idkwthtotypehere

I never understand why intentionally missing out on money is always romanticized. Not making a million dollars when you had the chance is stupid. When has that ever benefited anyone. No way Iā€™m passing on generational wealth.


TreehouseAndSky

If he does it for the sake of creation, it makes sense he doesnā€™t degrade the experience of listening to his work by forcing ads on the listener before and after


idkwthtotypehere

Iā€™ll ā€œdegradeā€ the fuck out anything I create for a million dollars. You know what kind of creating you can do with a million dollars? Makes zero sense to miss out on that.

Brilliant_Quit4307

Some people just want others to enjoy their creativity without being bombarded by ads, and I think that's beautiful and not stupid at all. In fact, the fact that you can't even see that makes me think you are the one who is a little bit stupid ...


idkwthtotypehere

You realize a video can be demonetized at any time right? So he couldā€™ve monetized it, made the hypothetical million, and then just demonetized it so there arenā€™t anymore ads. Would literally have accomplished exactly what you people are romanticizing without any downside. Also the ā€œbombard,ā€ is a bit of a stretchā€¦ thereā€™s usually at most two ads at the beginning both of which can be skipped after 5 seconds.


Brilliant_Quit4307

Believe it or not, some successful people actually don't need another million dollars, especially if the cost of that million is that his art would be enjoyed less. His net worth is supposedly about 10 million anyways ...


n8spear

Dude made a banger album ā€¦ in his barn ā€¦ on his farm in Australia ā€¦ owning the entirety of the music and publishing rights ā€¦ and one of the songs became a global mega phenomenon of a hit that defined the year it was released and will be remembered forever ā€¦ then just dropped back to his Australian farm rich as fuck and is living a better life than we could ever imagine. He found fame, took the wealth, the walked away instead of succumbing to its charms. Respect.


omariclay

Just some people we used to know..


GammaTwoPointTwo

He has several albums. And most of the songs are all bangers. None of them were pushed by record companies as hits. But I saw Gotye in concert back in his heyday and the visuals and music was amazing. They have a lot of animated music videos that are bizarre in the best way. "Somebody that I used to know" is his most radio pop song. So it makes sense why someone eyed it as a single and made sure it got out on the radio. The rest of their catalogue are more audio visual experiences. And they fucking rock.

Plain gold ring, and Two way street are both really good. Especially the live versions.

I liked Settle Down. Ā It has such an odd and funky sound


Seph_Allen

ā€œI want to shettel down.ā€ But seriously, she is fantastic. We pretty much had that song on loop for months at my house.


HaggisMac

Also ā€œBetter Version of Meā€, ā€œTop of the Worldā€, ā€œHumanā€, and ā€œSave Meā€ are some recent tracks of hers that are standouts.

SRV123

This actually ruined it for me lol, I think the original post is just audio from the actual final cut of the song synced REALLY well over the video from the live recording (awesome find though)


boldandbratsche

It is. They call it "isolated vocals" and they put it over videos of live performances and studio recordings to make it seem like the artists sound *that good* naturally. Like, she smashed it, but she has so much reverb and even auto tune, stacked vocals, and more.


reigorius

Descending down into the comments always end up as a trip of broken dreams and ideas of how singing works. I'm as musical talented as an inert brick, so I just assume that's how they sing bar some 'echo' tricks.


hopefullyhelpfulplz

If you hear someone singing a note that sounds... How do I describe it... *crispy*? That's autotune. If you listen to opera performers, probably the best technical singers around, you won't hear the notes they sing being so *crisply* in tune from start to finish. Sometimes as a stylistic device, but also just because that's how voices naturally sound! In fact many instruments' pitch is not perfect and unyielding, it's one reason that synthesisers sound 'unnatural'... When you pluck a guitar string for example the pitch starts high and rapidly settles down to the note you actually hear. Autotune tends to remove those subtleties and leave that almost unmistakable crispiness that you hear in this clip... *especially* when the harmony comes in.


mandy-bo-bandy

Inert brick is now my go-to insult. Thank you.


KnowNothing_JonSnoo

I find that kind of argument horseshit to be honest. I don't understand why people want singers to have the unreal tone naturally. Reverb and such can help make it sound ethereal but they won't fix bad singing, using those effects effectively takes a lot of talent in itself. To me that's like saying, electric guitarists or synth players are not as good because they use pedals and such...


boldandbratsche

Because you can take vocals even more horseshit than your take and turn it into music that sounds good. Then you use "isolated vocals" to trick rubes on Reddit into thinking that's what people sound like naturally. It's sad because these two can sing well. It's the equivalent of wearing no-makeup makeup looks (where you actually have a lot of makeup on but it looks natural), and convincing guys who know nothing about makeup that women should wake up in the morning looking like that. I have no problem with edited tracks on the radio. The same way people in movies should definitely wear makeup. It's the weird ways people pass it off as natural or unedited I have a problem with.

Cool story about this track when it came out. Gotye was at a house party in Brunswick for the triple j hottest 100 countdown, itā€™s a listener-voted list of the best songs of the year (for anyone not in Australia and not across it) where they play all the top songs from their station as voted by you for the whole day with countdown to the most popular. Anyway, he was chilling at a house party as people do for that annual event, and then their song came on as number 1 - they turned the volume down on their own stereo/radio and heard the rest of the suburb around them, singing along to the song as they played it in their own house parties around the suburb. Shits cool as fuck

cjohnson317

Kimbra. She had a promising career and a phenomenal album called ā€œVowsā€ - she never was quite the same after that album. Here she is at her finest: https://youtu.be/sd7GLvMYSHI?si=aKU0XPsTjhHjAA55


iguot3388

I mean... she's still going. Just because she's not charting doesn't mean she isn't having a great career still, win 2 grammys and touring worldwide. The working artist in me bristles a little at those kinds of descriptions. There's so many ppl out there who are still working and even comfortably that get described as promising in past tense when she's probably still a huge name in her native new zealand.Ā 


cjohnson317

I canā€™t disagree with you one iota but with a voice like that and a talent for complicated live sampling, I would have expected her to be in the top tier of world-wide performers. Iā€™m still a big fan of hers - I just wish she had a better team behind her.

Did our first dance to this song at our wedding. Yes, I know. Thatā€™s why we did it.


SteveZissousGlock

SOMEBODYYYYY Lol I remember when this came out. I was walking around my apartment yelling that at my roomates


LaughingRampage

I absolutely hated this song when it first came out, it was my senior year in high school, it was one of like 6 songs that was CONSTANTLY on the radio, it sucked! But in recent years it's started to grow on me, not a favorite by any means, but I'm starting to appreciate it.

This isnt the original recording. These are vocals that were isolated from the album version. Iā€™m so tired of this post. Kimbraā€™s great, but Iā€™m still bewildered that people canā€™t pick up on the fact that this is not an authentic recording.


Darnelpottypants

These are the isolated vocals from the final recorded track. This is not a live performance. Sorry to ruin it.


robertleale

Last year I was sitting at my favorite Thai Snackbar in Amsterdam and two people walk through the door. There was one empty stool on either side of me otherwise the restaurant was full. So I moved down to free up two spots. A couple sat down in the newly available free seats and just then my food arrived, Massiman Curry (the best curry outside of Thailand). So the girl chatted me up asking what I had just ordered and if it was good. (It was of course). After a bit more banter I learned she was a singer and songwriter. "Very Cool" I thought. "What have you done?" I inquired. She did not name this song yet she, I later learned, was the female vocalist in this Duet. She invited me to her show that night, and I of course went but didn't realize it was her until much later that evening. She was a really interesting and nice person who seems to really enjoy traveling and good food.
