Gotye & Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know (Live) Reaction!

[@lbd-po7cl]

Gotye (Wally de Backer) used to work at my local library before he became famous. Very talented multi-instrumentalist and a really nice bloke.

[@seth1455]

Hastings?

[@lbd-po7cl]

@@seth1455 Parkdale.

[@atypical1000]

Eltham library, or that one near the big roundabout in north Greensey?

[@johnnymossville]

it's the lyrics, and the interaction between the two. You could feel the resentment, anger and pain of a broken relationship. It's like performance art. Great tune all these years later.

[@dustinb1070]

It was a cover when they did it. The original is good too

[@PintoSixty]

Kimbra is a treasure. She should be recognized globally for her talent.

[@theoven344]

So true

[@TheRedStateBlue]

she is.

[@BrinK-s]

I really have katy perry vibe when I see her

[@sduckham]

First live music experience I ever had was GOTYES high school band Downstares. My mind was blown when he was on the grammys, 100% he is an amazing guy. He helped me and my sister move house and never asked for anything.

[@paulveenings6861]

That’s the Kiwi way isn’t it 👍

[@kenglasson2920]

Yup you have GOT to see the official video. It will blow yer mind LOL.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

I will be forever grateful to this song for introducing me to the incredibly multi-talented Kimbra!

[@jalkabre5904]

Same, she has an incredible voice.

[@iatsd]

Kimbra - the last minute replacement singer who was called into the recording on ~12 hours notice. And she made it the success it was.

[@Bronwyn031]

Where did you get that from? Kimbra has made numerous interviews about this track and this is the first time hearing that.

[@terenceg7709]

​@@Bronwyn031 If I search whether Kimbra was a last minute replacement, it seems to be true. Another singer bailed on Gotye the night before. Whatever happened, it's apparent that Kimbra found the vibe and style.

[@sharynmorgan944]

She wouldn't be on the track if it wasn't for Gotye writing the song, so they both had a hand in its success. ​@@terenceg7709

[@StevesTubes]

I got this song stuck in my head for about a week back in the day. The official music video is pretty cool also..

[@ReNeGaDeAu]

i love how its almost like a short play with all the emotions

[@loganrideout9151]

Kimbra is just amazing to me.

[@sunnyleatham]

Kimbras album Vows is STUNNING! She's a phenomenon in music.

[@chrispengraves6487]

Absolutely brilliant vocals from both sides Kimbra, wow ❤

[@LCsaint22]

please do more of Kimbra's live stuff. she is phenomenol.

[@DavidSmith-xe8wm]

It's kills me every time l listen to it, but I'm still going to listen to it forever 😭🙄

[@maxvonsydow6180]

Official music video is the one to watch 🎵👍... a piece of art 🎉 🙂

[@DAT809]

Gotye - Bronte i dedicated to both my dogs that died last year....RIP my buddies

[@EmrysCapati]

Will never hear "baa baa black sheep" the same way ;)

[@jeffwotherspoon3867]

Gotye and Kimbra are 2 rabbit holes you will definitely love the more you get into them

[@randallespinosa4264]

You gotta love Emma's Bing,,Bing,,Bings 😁

[@chandie5298]

Kimbra "Settle Down" Live on Soundcheck

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Settle Down, Good Intent, Come Into My Head, Like They Do On TV, 90s Music.... And I LOVE her cover of Precious Lord, Take My Hand!

[@RussInCanada]

Settle Down-Live at SXSW.

[@willieboy3011]

Both point of views, like musically arguing with each other. Good technique.

[@Lincoln6Echo78]

Kimbra is the real Star of the Song.❤

[@Kostly]

Warm voices capture hearts.

[@AP-RSI]

I've liked this song for a long time. At first I always thought the singer was Sting from The Police. He has such a similar voice! But... you should also listen to some of Kimbra's solo songs! She is really good!

[@charlesskinner1599]

THAT SONG IS WONDERFULL

[@peterschmidt1453]

"Heart's a mess" is another Goyte song a few years before this one, similar unusual electronic sounds and an interesting clip.

[@jayallen4785]

Florida sends greetings. I like this as well Emma. Actually I'd like some more. Thanks for posting my friend. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Harvestersz]

That guy can push those buttona really good!

[@BassMatt1972]

Kimbra is a force of Nature, from New Zealand.. this album was self-recorded in his bedroom, in a share house, hence some of the singing isnt "belted out".. haha

[@pattiecake11]

Love this song!! I’m crying 😢

[@fl6stringer]

Kimbra live at Sing Sing is a must listen!

[@paulbarbura]

All the sing sing studio clips are amazing! Kimbra really goes wild with her version of “Plain gold ring”in one of the songs from that recording session. Kimbra is one of the under appreciated artists today in my opinion, has collabs with big names like Jacob collier or cory Wong.

[@tomlyons2633]

Sounds like a song that The Police would have done.

[@JustEnjoyAll84]

That sounds like a suggestion for Ten Second Songs.... just putting that out there

[@RussInCanada]

Kimbra-Come into my head.

[@traog]

I was hearing this often on the radio, when I finally got around to looking it up I found the cover of this song by a group called Walk off the Earth, I became a fan of WotE from then on. For another Gotye song look up the song "Hearts a mess".

[@whatabouttheearth]

In the album the guitar is a sample of Louiz Bonfas song Seville. This song is actually 7 samples from other songs. I think its all sampled except the meletron.

[@igorfarias2399]

Hi Emma, suggestion, react to Shawn James - "The Curse of the Fold". A spectacular singer and songwriter in my opinion, his lyrics are worth reflecting on. Hugs from 🇧🇷.

[@guilhermebarbosa3848]

The lyrics are really good, and I recognized the instrumental from an old Brazilian song. When I checked the bio, I found out they were accused of plagiarism and had to include in the song's description that it "Contains a sample of the recording Seville as performed by Luiz Bonfa."

[@mgrogan4126]

Great reaction, Emma.thank you.

[@SingwithEmmatoday]

Thanks for watching!

[@bidhan4848]

This guy is handsome

[@Kostly]

Bards taking over humanity. Just let it happen.

[@craigbarrett2278]

The official music video is pretty cool. A must watch. 😊

[@rnbnatl]

Starts out nice and then ... WOW!

[@mrlonewolf99]

❤ 👍, good song.

[@allaboutshine]

Hi Emma u should react to worlds collaboration of the greatest musicians in the world in the 80s most of them became icons..Bob Dylan the Boss Bruce Springsteen. Lionel Richie..Kenny Roger's Paul Simon..Darryl Hall John Oates..Steve Perry Kenny Loggins Huey Lewis ..Cyndi Lauper. Kim Carns ..Diana Ross..Dione Warwick..Stevie Wonder ..Ray Charles Smokey Robinson...and others the world has never had this collaboration ever since..omg almost forgot the King of Pop Micheal Jackson..should get at least 80k views for this reaction

[@elcardil]

Kimbra is awesome

[@iandruckman7779]

two truly amazine singers.

[@emmanobana8821]

Greetings from the Philippines

[@pewterngold]

This might be the perfect breakup song.

[@DaP84]

[@BILLYC0DE]

[@luizfranco8677]

[@allaboutshine]

Song called we are the world written by MJ and Lionel Richie

[@123rvr]

Well hello my beautiful Emma my music lover

[@bossfan49]

Where are the other voices coming from? There's a backing track there.

[@alexandrorocca7142]

Definitely, but I think it's them.

[@TheGathumpus]

You need to see the version done by "Walk Of Earth" where they (five of them) all play the same guitar at the same time.

[@jonbrennan7]

Hello from Australia

[@littleflick]

You should react to Gotye - Heart’s a Mess and then Missy Higgins’ cover of it.

[@rosslumbus]

Kimbara gave this song substance

[@LucasRNSilva]

Every time I hear this song I remmmber its original brasilian beat Seville from Luiz Bonfa

[@user-bw9mg3vq4q]

Кимбра спела и с Linkin Park зачётно ❤

[@pivovinorakija]

LOVE 🥰

[@Kostly]

Heart shaped voice umbrella.

[@crhu319]

If you like rhis you will love Lara Fabian and Johnny Halliday duet live in Paris inb he rain "Requiem pour un fou", 1998. With or without tne subtitles, but watch it both ways later.

[@gregleblanc9357]

Love this song.

[@Hero-kn3ol]

Am I the only one that hears the xylophone playing Baa Baa Black Sheep?

[@paulveenings6861]

Well he is a Kiwi 🙂

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

If you like this, get hold of the official video. You should love the artistry in it.

[@ubilo]

My "crack" song. It hypnotizes you and then explodes.

[@MichaelSizer]

You absolutely must see the cover of this song by Walk Off the Earth.

[@ofthenearfuture]

Kimbra often electronically manipulated her voice, so that doubling of the voice in the second chorus. You should listen to the original recording as well, it is so well mastered. Another of my favouriotes from gotye is 'hearts a mess' or 'smoke and mirrors'. Kimbra is fantastic as well, you should check out 'settle down' or 'two way street'

[@mawy-fu2yq]

Good video 👏, can you react to "Tu falta de querer" by Mont Laferte please, she is a very good singer🇨🇱🇨🇱🙏

[@SorenHume]

You're a brilliant reviewer

[@jasongallant2860]

Three Days Grace do an amazing cover of this song

[@lauriebarrett6789]

Kimbra - "Settle Down". Lorde - "Green Light".

[@GetBackJoe1969]

You should react to Kimbra!

[@robertcherman]

Check this version out Walk off the Earth performs a cover of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" using five people on one guitar.

[@CRINGLEBURT]

literally the Ba Ba Black Sheep tune 😅

[@SuperKevin57]

Kimbra is a fellow New Zealander.

[@maorifulla]

Check the lyrics and how they sing this will make more sense

[@dec-hw3lm]

Bah Bah Black Sheep Have You Any Wool .Yes Sir Yes Sir Three Bags Full 0:51

[@martinbynion1589]

Kimbra - a good Kiwi girl!! 🥝 You really need to see the official video!

[@ubertcoolie8694]

[@movieswithmatticus5469]

Can you react to Fading by Vacation Manor?

[@AlexandreSantos-wm8qv]

I never saw a plagiarism so good like this, try to listen " Seville ", by Luiz Bonfá recorded in 1967, the song stolen by gotye to make his hit

[@JO-qd2bv]

Hardly The first few notes are about the same. That's it. The rest of it is completely different.

[@justitia257]

Interesting

[@seelenwinter6662]

there are clips only with the voice from kimbra.... jesus... so sexy...^^

[@joeybossolo7]

You should react to the “Walk off the Earth” version of this. Trust me.

[@larrysquires5321]

Just let it play..........

[@index1html]

👍🧚‍♂️💖

[@neighborlyfiend1484]

I prefer Eliott Smiths version better.
