This song always gives me chills when Kimbra starts but this live version just took those chills to the next level!

I think one of the most brilliant things about this song is the reverse perspective in the lyrics. You listen to Wally singing and you feel he kind of got screwed over, and then when Kimbra chimes in, you have to do a full stop and reassess. The entire meaning of the song changes. ...and yes, I've just emailed Jon regarding the pronunciation of Gotye, but I think they've already recorded the last 2 songs, Bronte and Eyes Wide Open.

This song went absolutely ballistic down here in Aus, pretty sure it did well overseas too. Since then, he’s been really quiet. Now he’s just somebody that we used to know…

You’re correct in the first place, her part was written from her perspective as a response to his perspective of the same relationship

First gig I ever went to was a Battle of the Bands that Gotye's first band Downstares won, still got a copy of their EP somewhere. Even back then he was a serious music talent. Wally was a good friend of my sister, apparently he didn't even tell his friends that he was Gotye until his fame got a bit out of hand.

This song has so many twists and turns. It's truly a hypnotic song with its melodies and will stick with you for days and days. What I take from this song is that he dated someone before Kimbra. For whatever reason they broke up but he can't completely move on from her. He then met Kimbra and started a relationship with her but could not let go of his previous love. So, as time went on he would do and say things to Kimbra to wound her and then blame her in hopes that she will want to break up, but remain friends. When she realizes he's not going to change and she's finally had enough she breaks up with him and he's fine with it because he's still hooked on his ex. It sounds like she at first still wants to be friends but you know how hard that is when you truly love someone, so she decided to cut him off completely, had her friends go over and collect all her records and then changed her number so he didn't have any way to reach back out to her. He couldn't understand why she couldn't be friends and that's because her love for him was much deeper than his for her because he was still hung up on somebody that he used to know. She moved on and he's still fighting the feelings he has for his ex. He's never really going to be able to give all his love to someone until he finally works through his feelings he has with his ex. Crazy...I feel like most of us have been in 1 or both of those situations before and can feel both of their pain. At the end the paint is removed from her and she is out of the picture.

After hearing this song 100 times or more I never tire of it. Also, I wonder if she was telling him that she knows he is “hung up” on someone he use to know, but that’s not her?? Please someone tell me what you think 🤔 ❤. Thank you!!

The "guitar" samples are actually from a Brazilian performer who successfully sued him.

Definitely a sample. From what I understand, Gotye loved to dig deep into old music, and when the lawsuit came up, he was happy to acknowledge the original source and didn't contest the suit. Fair enough and a win for both parties as far as I'm concerned.

I've heard someone say that the person from his past that he's "hung up on" that Kimbra refers to is her. He doesn't want to let her go. Things didn't work out-she's ready to move on but he's not (yet). That makes total sense to me. It's also even sadder.

My analysis of the meaning of the song is different than most. There are 3 individuals depicted here. He and 2 women. He sings about the first one in his opening stanza. He told himself she was right for him but still felt lonely in her company and that's an ache he still feels to this day. He got addicted to the sadness of knowing it was going to end and when it did she promised they would still be friends. She lied, she just wanted to get away from him. Why? When they broke up she did everything she could to distance herself from him. He begins whining about how unfair and hurtful that was. He tries to comfort himself by saying he doesn't need that aggravation. Enter girl number 2, Kimbra. She got involved with him after his breakup with girl number 1. At this point, they have already separated. Why? He kept screwing her over and making her believe it was her fault. This is probably the same reason girl number 1 dumped him. She didn't want to live with someone like that. On top of that, he said he could let his breakup with girl number 1 go and she "wouldn't catch him hung up on somebody that he used to know". She could read into the words he said that he obviously could not. So he dumped him too.
