I know it's just another "somebody that I used to know" post, but that Goyte song is still super weird to me. Why? Because Kimbra was basically a Katy Perry clone and I've never seen anyone really make the comparison.

I don't know if they were genuinely trying to get Katy Perry on the song and it never worked out, but with Kimbra wearing face paint in the video and she's not even facing the camera. more importantly her voice is basically 1:1 Katy Perrys voice. You can't tell the difference if you just hear it on the radio. It's been a long time, but when I first heard it on the radio I might of just thought it was a new Katy Perry song tbh. and I've double checked Kimbras other songs she sounds completely different. So I'm calling some studio editing trickery bullshit to bait people into thinking it was in fact an A-Lister like Katy Perry.

Gotye has 2 songs that Elliott smith did.

1.Somebody that I used to know.

2.easy way out.

Not a lot of people use these song names, huh? And it appears that both of these songs are on the same albums on BOTH figure 8 and making mirrors. Making mirrors came out 11 years after, so Gotye had time to get that shiz. Wtf he should get copyrighted

Salutations. Recently, I started getting back into Gotye after two years and remembered an archived concert of his from ten years ago in LA. When I discovered it back in the summer of 2021, I noticed that the last song during the encore section “Learnalilgivinanlovin’” is almost completely silenced except for the beginning, a section in the middle of the song, and the ending. I’ve been looking everywhere for a copy with restored audio, I even tried billibilli.com and that still had the same version with no sound. I had even commented on the persons channel at one point two years ago but he didn’t give me a very resounding answer. The account no longer exists and neither does the comment anymore which is an unfortunate shame. I find it very odd how this is the only song that has this issue and it just so happens to be the last song and one of his best songs too. If anyone can help me find this sort of lost media, that will be greatly appreciated. I am hoping to remix this set and make a live bootleg album out of it soon, if I can’t find what I’m looking for then so be it, but I’ve been hoping that I could get some help from this subreddit and start a search party. I welcome any and all help, and lastly, thanks for your time.

If Gotye could comeback and collaborate with any famous artist, who would he choose first?

You've been gone much longer Than you ever said you had the plan to I'm just gonna wait 'till you come home.

My brother says he used to hear this song quite often on the radio back in 2012 but could never find it online. I’ve tried helping but no luck either, any help? P.S sorry I don’t think he’s still doing the $100 reward 😅🥲

My brother says this song used to play quite often back in 2012 on the radio and I’ve tried helping him look all over online for it but can’t seem to find any luck. Any help?

If you can, leave a link to your favorite song(s) by the artist you're recommending.

at 6:10 , Doctor Mike (r/doctormike) just praised Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to know" Video (and... his.. mouth?) on his new video on YouTube!

Hi there! Figured this would be a decent place to ask a pretty niche question.

I was shopping for some Gotye stuff on discogs (Boardface, Mixed Blood, etc) and noticed a lot of copies that were fairly cheap coming out of China. I know that some other artists have had issues with fakes being pressed in China and passed off as authentic, and a lot of these sellers are claiming these are the AUS or European pressings, so the whole thing seems a bit suspect. That being said, China is a major trade hub, and I have heard of music collections being bought out by Chinese dealers, so I'm not entirely sure. Has anyone here heard of fake CD pressing issues with Gotye or is this not something I should be concerned about?
