First Time Reaction | Gotye- Somebody That I Used to Know (ft. Kimbra)

[@laurie8857]

The body language is so telling as well. How she rolls her shoulders before approaching him, readying herself for a battle, but he ignores her, staring ahead as she is signing at him. She never says lyrics to him either, which seems to illustrate he isnt listening, only paying her attention when she moves away.

[@thicccatto3956]

You're reading too much into it bro 😭 readying herself for battle like WHAT??😭

[@laurie8857]

@thicccatto3956 have you had an argument in a failing relationship- absolutely a battle my bro 🤣

[@goldboy150]

I always took the shoulder roll as her escaping the painting they’re both collectively in. The painting being a metaphor for the relationship. Hence why the paint comes off her at the end.

[@pikawarp2792]

This song brings me great sadness, not only because of the lyrics, but i only ever heard this song in the presence of my ex fiancé (more her music style than mine) and now the song literally describes us now. After we broke up our mutual friends all stayed in communication with her, and cut me off. I haven’t spoken to her in 3 years, and never will again.

[@MKKS1994]

Bless up young king

[@Mat-eq8mk]

Been there!

[@nomadpurple6154]

For ALL the mutual friends to cut you off perhaps look closer at what you did because that's unusual.

[@pikawarp2792]

@@nomadpurple6154 i didn’t tell them WHY i broke up with her to save her reputation. I ended up moving away so it was better that way

[@נחמה-ל6ס]

I hope and i wish you better❤

[@MitchhhZ]

I posted a comment on a video over a year and a half ago. I mentioned how seeing your videos made me not give up on searching for the right therapist, and I found them. I mentioned I earned my GED and was going to college at 24 after dropping out in the 8th grade. I just want to thank you again. I may not have found the person who helped me to heal if it wasn't for you. God bless you brother. You are in my prayers.

[@cheeto.324]

Probably one of the greatest songs of all time. It’s so iconic

[@ag9953]

The song is really about two people blaming each other for the breakdown of their relaitonship, he blames her for cutting him off and pretending not to know him, and she claims he gaslit her and refused to get over his previous lover. In reality the truth is likely somewhere in the middle, but neither wants to accept it.

[@rah2287]

The artwork being erased from her body means that by either his choice, her choice or both........she is no longer in the picture.

[@pikawarp2792]

Filmed using Stop motion photography, when her paint is removed at the end it was the painting footage in reverse

[@redessa01]

Yes, there's a behind the scenes video showing how they made it. It took almost a full 24 hrs for all the painting. It makes the music video that much better when you realize how exhausted the performers were by the time they were able to film most of the singing.

[@pikawarp2792]

@@redessa01 that’s really cool i didn’t know this was available!

[@ag9953]

Gotye did stop motion a lot, he also uses it in Easy Way Out and Eyes Wide Open.

[@MaLeaAnya]

I like that it shows both side. Everyone acts like it is one persons fault in a break up. There are always 2 sides.

[@AIHumanEquality]

When I was 16 I had a gf who just one day ended things out of nowhere with no warning or talk about it. I had been dating her for about 2 years at that point so it wasn't like a small fling. I didn't have anyway to see it coming. I'm 32 now and well over but that shock effected me for years and damaged my ability to trust people.

[@andybricks576]

Part of life dude

[@apatternedhorizon]

"go-tee-yay" You should do "Heart's a mess" by him.

[@adrienesantos4154]

Awesome song as well

[@matthewzeller5026]

My high school English teacher had us write an essay about this song. She was amazing, I struggle articulating long thoughts when I have to write it out and I don't know what she did but I know she helped at least by just encouraging me. When I talk I'm fine but when I write I'm always second guessing how to best phrase things... 10 mins to write this comment 😂

[@mirthepeeters65]

I have the same struggle. I really have no clue how others do it.

[@JRsMind]

Gotye is one of my favorite artists of all time and all of his songs have so much emotional depth but at the same time so raw and it resonates so deeply with me. I highly recommend "Heart's a Mess" and "Eyes Wide Open".

[@112musician]

Gotye is a serious artist. Check out "Easy Way Out" by him, a stop-motion animation video that is very short but so inspired about the drudgery that we can all find ourselves in.

[@thruthemotions]

Wonderful reaction. Everytime i listen to this song. I can never decypher whether the guy in the song is the narcissist that verbally abused the woman singing and shes telling her side or if shes the narcissist and hes the victim and her verse is really her just gaslighting him. I dont know😭 makes sense that this song won so many grammy's because its so catchy, artistic, different and relatable.

[@jessicacowburn8059]

When the paint comes off of Kimbra it symbolizes her being "out of the picture "

[@bonniehowell6604]

It is pronounced “ Go t yea”. It’s about feelings during and after a break up.

[@Seojisocool]

he has an interview talking abt how much he hated the fame so he left it behind. he makes music now and donates all the money he makes

[@StanL-s3p]

He’s definitely a gaslighter. His body language is deafening when she’s talking to him.

[@RafoZa_214]

I remember watching/listening to this song on MTV over 10 years ago. Wow.........that was so long ago.

[@Gabriela-ec2ty]

Thanks for this reaction, my mom loves this song, blessings, and sending virtual good vibes.

[@999JWforever]

Also the guy said this song was his biggest regret. Fame/money was too much

Kimbra's from NZ, we love supporting our fellow Kiwi's doing life out in the big wide world. Kimbra has an enormously great voice & many other great songs, check them out guys!

[@Theonlynamenoonehas]

He began out of the picture... not part of it. We pan across to Kimbra, she's part of the picture. By the end, he is covered in paint and now in the picture, Kimbra no longer has paint on her.... she's out of the picture, moved on. She's cleaned herself of all that remained. However, he is still there, stuck, unable to move on perhaps realising too late what is gone.

[@ropien2324]

Now that im older and i look look at it and feel it this is just out of this world like if you would want to show some kind og alien how human love can be THIS IS THE SONG YOU SHOW THEM

[@thomasbradley4505]

You should react to Calum Scott. His lyrics are very meaningful, especially the song Bridges. Excellent voice and a lot of his songs are personal to him

[@StViolet_Star]

You should do more Gotye, he's phenomenal. I love Thanks For Your Time and Eyes Wide Open

[@andyyoung9463]

Did you notice her not being part of the picture at the end?

[@ronnieh7925]

When you realize he never even turns to face her until she steps away 💔 ive been in a relationship where i was being ignored.. until i left and then all of a sudden i was important to him.

[@adrienesantos4154]

F*cking love that song omg

[@aly_the_mystic888]

The female sounds exactly like Katy perry ! I use to think it was her featuring in this song 😂😂 love your mesmerized reaction and how passionate you are talking about mental health I love your reactions so much ! ❤😊

[@Krunchy095]

You should react to: Spider and the Fly by London After Midnight

[@pugpugarts4034]

U should react to Loyle Carner!

[@gritnix]

All I can think of when I hear this is the Police...sounds so much like Sting.

[@eliassandoval440]

Great video love this song ❤️ Oh and also I’m not sure if you saw but $b are dropping “The Thin Grey Line” off of “New World Depression.” They posted on insta that they were dropping tomorrow 12:00 est. hope you have an amazing day ❤️

Youre a genius man lol. Just the way you talk is comforting

Such an awesome song

[@TheFLaaaanK]

This song hits hard because he was the first to love then gave up and then she came back and he moved on

[@siaahale13]

where’d you get that at?

[@LadyIarConnacht]

Great reaction to an incredibly creative video and unique song.

[@mundain8818]

i recommend you check out BENEEs cover of this song i love both so much. its a slower smoother version of the song imo and just modern in sound.

please do bullet proof by la roux, green day, P!atd, or system of a down. 😁

I was just watching your Ivan B reactions, if you ever find time you should react to FMFMH by him, some of his best work imo

[@999JWforever]

I miss the juice reactions theres still hundreds and hundreds of songs Tom hasn't heard

[@Rohan_--]

I like JW too, but its good he doesnt just do those. They might come, might not, but he already listened to enough imo

[@AIHumanEquality]

I know music is mainly your thing on the channel but I'd like to know what your thoughts would be on the game This War of Mine, it's a very real survival game where you play a group of civilian survivors in the middle of war and psychology effects are a major part of the game. For example if you steal from someone or have to kill someone it has a mental effect on your characters, so unlike most games you can't just go around shooting everyone or looting everything cause it can lead to depression or worse. Also the game devs donate some of the money made from their game to a charity that helps children effected by war around the world.

[@pikawarp2792]

He reacts to multiple types of media! The hard part with a video game is the time required to judge it properly. But he can probably do a reaction to someone talking about the system/review of the game (sub 5 minutes for best chance to get him to react)

[@wanfazris9751]

Maybe it's because you ain't here to listen to the song you're here to see him talk about it

[@jstpshply79]

@taedybear843 Wrong. I'm here to WATCH him listen to the song and THEN react to it. It's difficult to appreciate the music with incessant interruptions. 1 or 2 is all that's necessary. But thanks for your opinion on how I feel 😂🤣😂

So it's not a first time reaction. I'm out.
