I'd forgotten that this was an original Gotye recording, a music video I rather like.
However, I came across this recording I believe is from the tv show, Glee. And by golly, does the guy sing with such passion. While Gotye sounded so sad, the character Blaine Anderson comes across as angry, hurt and very emotional. The character Blaine is played by Darren Criss. I thought his performance was terrific, and Cooper, Matt Bomer, was rather good too.
I hate the way at times instructions like 'must watch to the end' are inserted in video clips, however in this case the performers who seem like lovers are not, and you need to watch to 2.45 for the connection between them becomes clear, but there is also a rather obvious hint at 1.30.

Beautiful voices and very attractive young men:)
ReplyDeleteTheir voices are very clear. I was able to understand some of the lyrics I didn't 'get' before. I have always loved that song though.
ReplyDeleteI remember watching Glee, but I don't think I watched the entire series. I didn't know Matt Bomer was in it. I know Matt Bomer from the series White Collar.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this, and getting teary-eyed.
ReplyDeleteReminded me of the animated movie Frozen, where the one girl is not saved by the love of a boyfriend but by her own sister.
ReplyDeleteThat video is done well, the voice and harmony are good too.
ReplyDeleteI used to have Goyte singing this song on one of my phones as a ring tone...some people just have no taste for ringtones, Andrew...lol
I love the song, the show, and the performance. It's something I was mindful of years ago when by met the new wife of my ex-boyfriend. She KNEW we had been in a relationship, but I don't think she really knew the extent of our relationship. There was a moment when we shared a memory/a look, and I remember she looked at him as if to say "this was more serious than you told me".
