Gotye - Eyes Wide Open

This is the follow-up to Somebody That I Used To Know in (at least) Belgium.

What a dull track! I Feel Better is way Better. :lol:

I love this! The yearning and anguish in his voice in the verses, which is matched by the accompanying instrumentation. He has one of the most expressive voices I've ever heard - the way he sings conveys far more emotion than the words he sings. It recently topped my personal chart.

Hopefully there is a proper video on the way then.

Cool

Such a diverse album too, one of my favourites of 2011

Still can't get into this, it's so boring! I Feel Better and Easy Way Out are MUCH better.

I remember my friend sending me the link to this back in 2010 and thinking that same thing Fredo thought :lol:

This came in at #25 on the Hottest 100 of 2010.

Neither can I tbh and I agree re: those 2 songs. It's an ok song, but there's better songs (aside from those mentioned) on Making Mirrors.

+1

It's a bad single choice! :-?

I think Save Me is definitely worth releasing. It is a safer choice and would appeal more to the radio.

Debuts at 96 Billboard US.

This is great - has a good mood and sounds right for radio. Video great, too. He really is the new Peter Gabriel!

It's the next single in Germany, 6 months after the release of Somebody That I Used To Know...

It wasn't immediate to me like Somebody, but it is a slow grower. Really, the whole album is ace

by **Titan3510** » Sat May 05, 2012 12:42 pm

I like it.

Although I'm not sure it'll do just as good as Somebody That I Used To Know...

Radio 2 C List.

This has grown on me so much!

Really like it now.

Its an OK single choice but I feel that "I Feel Better" would do Better!! Its more uplifting, especially for summer. Its got a Cee-Lo feel to it. It'd be a shame if he was a one hit wonder.

I didn't expect such comment from you. He is just one hit wonder :-?
