I need a hug

[@thegreatslothlord7796]

Same here, the beats suppose to make me happy as I remember playing this old PS2 game called Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc but the lyrics make me sad and cry.

[@Ziqohth]

This song refuses to lose it's power to this day. So hypnotic, so sensual, and the lyrics so tragic. A masterwork.

Absolutely amazing song.. such a Vibe

[@neelsharma4853]

to this day✨

[@romanr.301]

That final belting out of “connect,” actually kind of hurt me. It was so poignant and expressed such bitter frustration, to the point of feeling hopelessly melancholy rather than angry.

[@renegadefunkstar]

Roman Ruiz man excellent description

[@graemeozzie2251]

His use of range to tell the story is fantastic.

[@dazyjc5368]

A lost art

[@katiem4935]

Absolutely, I love it🙌

[@schedirvenus]

desperate to connect

[@marko_c3]

it sounds like there's so much pain in his voice when he sings "but i'm desperate to *connect"* 3:10 and it makes me shiver

When my heart was truly broken, I found this song, and felt like it was one of the few that had the right frequency to reach deep down when grief happens

[@rileygrannell7235]

you never grieved

I think of it as the singer is talking about the listener.

wise words

[@hambeast5914]

Nearly 20 years later and this song still hits like a damn freight train. Goosebumps all over. Pure magic.

[@ogul84]

This is less a song and more an aural book/film. There is so much density in the sound and lyrics, I feel like I'm walking through a thick forest.

[@jeffs_r_us7166]

I agree! It made me feel like I was in an old city, right on the edge of woods and in the twilight.

[@katiem4935]

Absolutely!!

[@lamasu8060]

Yeah the song just sounds cold and dark. Like you are in a forest at night, not knowing where you are, a crescent moon, and the moons light being the only thing guiding you.

[@Vee-op3me]

I feel like this song is an internal dialogue between me and myself. One part of me is telling myself that I can't live like this and the other wants to shut everyone and everything out to stay safe. The latter one always wins

[@billiboom3654]

For me, this is the most relatable comment regarding this song. It's a dialogue between the two halves of me...

[@iclynnx]

That's a perfect way to describe it. I too can feel this way. But I've gotten better at winning over the anxious half of me. I will take the risk. Cautiously, yes, but it's better for me than not trying at all.

[@jdc_2000]

Sounds like Pink Floyd “The Wall”

[@sofiakawaii5404]

Why I can’t find this song on Spotify?

[@alffshah]

Pick apart The pieces of your heart And let me peer inside Let me in Where only your thoughts have been Let me occupy your mind As you do mine You have lost Too much love To fear, doubt and distrust Its not enough You just threw away the key To your heart You don't get burned 'Cause nothing gets through It makes it easier Easier on you But that much more difficult for me To make you see Love ain't fair So there you are My love Your heart's a mess You won't admit to it It makes no sense But I'm desperate to connect And you, you can't live like this Your heart's a mess You won't admit to it It makes no sense But I'm desperate to connect And you, you can't live like this Your heart's a mess You won't admit to it It makes no sense But I'm desperate to connect And you can't live like this Love ain't safe You won't get hurt if you stay chaste So you can wait But I don't wanna waste my love

Exactly the same, only yesterday for me

[@derekchime7142]

It’s also part of the movie score played in some powerful scenes by an orchestra.

"Love ain't fair, so there you are, my love". God. This song. Hits right in the center.

what makes this song even better is that the drum is actually a sample of the banana boat song, the dude flipped the sample to change the vibe damn

[@lunacosta3205]

my heart's a mess and that's why i'm crying while listening to this

[@kentaguilar934]

how are you right now?

[@azmas6984]

I'v hears thousands songs, I liked the greatest hits.. pink floyd jimi hendix deep purple gun n roses mono x-japan sigur ros dire straits prince and all outstanding singers in the world... but, i never heard a song with this limit of perfection in my life.. you reach a moment when you relize that the best thing ever happened to you in ur life was a song named Heart A Mess! by Gotye! language can't describe nothing.

[@azmasod7059]

Mono is not a k-pop, read about them

[@ASqdrnDA]

I feel the same way about Gotye. The drums are great, very Bonham, very jazzy and tight.

[@Nytra_]

I honestly didn't know that Gotye had songs other than *that one*. I really like this one.

[@MoonMurcielaga]

But I'm desperate to connect And you, you can't live like this :(

[@dominiquerios27]

This song is much better than "Somebody That I Used To Know", I don't understand why it just has 972,670 views.

[@blackcinnamon]

Dominique Ríos Well now it has 1,145,795 and that's a lot more than some other artists I listen to :)

Savanah Mick Yeah I see :)

Because of GenZ kids who want a peppy tune for everything with minimally deep meaning.

[@michaelneville2915]

Took a job in another country and was leaving my partner when this song was still recent. Played the album on loop as I packed my bags crying by myself. Never been that way before or after, it still resonates all these years after.

This in my opinion is the best Gotye song. The soundscape is so cool, the distortions, the flutes, the shimmer, the whole percussiveness.... it's so different. I love this And then the climax around the middle of the song. The drums sound kind of like a marching band but not as harsh.... amazing work

[@It_Is_The_Me]

a masterpiece, one of its kind. powerful, emotional and never getting old. I listened to this song almost 20 years ago and from time to time I have been craving it. I put my headphones on and forget the world for six minutes. Vocal, instrumentation, production everything is brilliant and one of the songs that comes to my mind when I think about what is the best song ever written.

[@karibc5153]

Gotye is a genius.

[@vixen1179fx]

Love the drums

[@silvershineee7567]

I really like his songs where he putted in some emotional like this song & Eyes wide open. In Eyes wide open he found sounds to put into the song. And he went to a place where he felt happy and lucky. Don't know how it is with Hearts a mess but it sounds kinda emotinal to me and that's what I like about those two songs :) And he's got a great voice ofc ;) So more of this songs would actually be perfect! Keep on making music! :D X from the Netherlands :)
