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
Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
You can't live like this
You have lost
(Too much love)
To fear, doubt and distrust
(It's 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 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

...Check the drumbeat of Harry Belafonte's Banana boat song .
(Don't if you want to keep listening to this song without thinking of Harry Belafonte's Banana boat song).
So ..... you're upset that 4 minutes of your life was "wasted"? Whatever happened to tolerance and a thirst for new experiences?
(Four minutes is .. like ... 0.0000001% of my life, and how should I consider the "wasted" 25-year marriage that dissolved overnight?)
This song is a 9.
So if you live to 90 :) it actually works out to 0.000000084
I read this as picking up the phone to call Radio Paradise. I like to think that Bill is sitting in the studio answering the phone and taking requests, just like in the golden days of radio.

Perfect.
Despite or perhaps because of the success of the Baa Baa Black Sheep song, Gotye remains very underrated.
He's a talented chap.
I don't know that song and I like his work very much.

and I guess the other 2 minutes were fine by them?
I too have it a 9

Given that the song is 6:03 long, which 2:03 of it didn't waste your life.
Not bad considering you probably had to pull your finger out of your ass first.
I'm so happy for his success (and the knowledge that I knew about him "before he was cool").
Totally agree w/you! It's looooong too
A whiney mess.
that may be the point, mate. a maudlin mess.
Not that I don't like the hit, but this one is just aces.
Beat is great, yet this would IMO be so much better as instrumental. I can't stand this guy's whining on this track.
This whole album is excellent and diverse.
So there.
Not that many haters with 2200 raters and an average of 7.2. I gave it an 8, cool video too.
...gnitS?
Quite right. I regret my earlier flippant and unnecessarily negative comment.
I don't like the song, but I can agree that it's well put together. There is a lot of artistry there. Well produced and full of ideas.
I just wish I liked the result.
Gotye-Sting?
This whole album is excellent and diverse.
So there.
you should find a proper hobby...something that doesn't require lighters.
Anyway. Florence works on me. Goatse does not.
The best part for me is the Joe Morello drum break.
A whiney mess.
Fortunately, unlike Sting, he doesn't consider himself a deity.
It's not you! Twice I thought it was over!
Let's play a game! Think of artists whose name ends with a 'y' followed by a vowel, and see if we can find anyone worth listening to.
So far we have:
Gotye
Enya
Hmm, it's harder than I anticipated. Help me out, please!
There's Goya, but he worked in a different medium...
awesome video too!

OK, maybe he has a distinctive sound. (every song sounds the same)
But it is a great song and I love it.
Maybe it is a bit repetetive. It still is a great song. I love it.
i love love love this song.
thanks for playing it.

Right. Though maybe there's something on the rest of the album...
Holds up very well after years of playing...
Quiet Sunday evening type music.... or sleeping in with someone wonderful.... Not get your feet moving music...
But well worth the price of admission... I recommend
yep. -> 2.
absolutely true!
But I do enjoy the one trick.
lol

Bored now :-(
absolutely true!
It's said that if you give a million monkeys in front of typewriters an infinite amount of time / bananas, they'll eventually recreate the work of Shakespeare.
(1) The million monkeys thing is inherently tongue-in-cheek. It refers to a completely idealized model, where the monkeys live forever and are always typing in a random fashion. That is, obviously, not true.
(2) Computationally, though, it is meaningful. In that idealized world, it is absolutely true that the monkeys will eventually recreate Shakespeare.
(3) In the same idealized sense, yes, evolution is actually a necessity. If you string together the letter A, C, G, and T randomly for an infinite amount of time, you will eventually recreate human DNA. And yes, it's the same mathematics which prove (2) and (3). Of course, that is still living in some slightly-idealized fiction, but the core concept is meaningful.
(4) I don't know what to say about your drive-by comment about evolution, other than that you appear to be choosing scripture and faith over the work of scientists. The thing is, you can find a wide body of literature on how the two can be compatible. You should seek it out! Knowledge doesn't have to be dangerous.
(Wow! I'm really down quite the little tangent here, aren't I?)

Well, an alternate theory holds that they've only got 6,000 years to achieve that............huh?

Ditto here. I started it at a 8 long ago when I first heard it, resisted moving it to an 9 because I heard it often in other places, eventually moved it to a 9 after it wasn't overplayed, and today it sounded so fresh that I've moved it up to a 10

Your post? 3 monkeys, 8 minutes.
(this joke was adapted from a Dilbert comic of ye olden days of yore)
What sort of circuses have you been to?
Chill out, dude. This ain't YouTube
I wish I'd seen him before he hit it big but never had the opportunity. I have loved him since first hearing this song here on RP. And, by the way, he's a really decent fellow. He sent me a nice email when I ordered this cd from his website.
Doodness dwacious!
(Really love the song, by the way.)
Now that's an articulate comment.
Just so you know - its not a band it is a person working on his own using a variety of instruments and electronics found here and there and put together in a home made studio and without the benefit of a label behind him.
OK, I can understand you not liking it - but you have to give respect for someone who can produce something this good off their own back.
I didn't know that. Pretty impressive. Despite my own somewhat snarky comment earlier, I actually kind of like this song. (But I just couldn't help posting the alternate lyrics I did earlier, since they just came to me!)
His heart's a mess.
But he won't admit to it.
He's desperate to connect.
And it's no big deal to her.
Cause it's mostly in his head.
After a couple of toxic relationships like that, you wisen up some. Hopefully
The passion --- the pure effin heartbreak --- in those lyrics is for the ages.

His music still sucks. But hey, that's like, my opinion, man. :)

... who shouts rather than sings and includes no literary references. I very much like Mr. Gotye, and I very much like Mr. Sting; they create on very different levels, however.
