LYRICS
Now your bowl is empty
And your feet are cold
And your body cannot stop rocking
I know
It hurts to let go
Since the day we found you
You have been our friend
And your voice still
Echoes in the hallway of this house
But now
It's the end
We will be with you
When you're leaving
We will be with you
When you go
We will be with you
And hold you till you're quiet
It hurts to let you go
We will be with you
You will stay with us

My parents did NOT sign my permission slip for me to go on this Feeltrip.

10 years later, this still hurts on a emotional level that still hasn't lost its punch when I first listened to it.

I was looking into my cat’s eyes when it happened. I saw his lights go out and felt him go cold. I told him I was sorry, and I’d find him again, over and over. I haven’t thought about that in a long time. Thanks Gotye.

This is legit the first song ever to make me cry.

So many ppl write about their pets...but I believe this is more about saying goodbye to childhood and innocence

My dog was called Brontë and she died at 17. This song's captures every feeling I had at the end perfectly. Hope everyone is dealing with the grief of a lost one as best as possible. This song hits me hard personally. X

The death of a pet, the nostalgia of childhood, the distance that is inevitable between parents and their children, this song is all of this.
The song is loss. Plain and simple. Loss. Take your pick of what is lost. It will be the right answer.

This video has two morals: Growing up sucks and school ruins everything.

3 minutes that always make me cry. I mourn the loss of my childhood innocence, the simplicity of a world full of wonder and magic that somehow made perfect sense, the absence of moral ambiguity, absence of uncertainty, the safety and nurturing home I could always return to and the lack of fear and worry. I grieve for the loss of my childhood. I can still feel how loved I felt then - even lonliness wasnt nearly as lonely as it is as a grown man. This song and video makes me feel who I was then, and sad at the impossible distance between that me and the me I am today.

Gotye didn't deserve to be a on-hit wonder, his music is extraordinary :(

I first listed to this song when it came out and I was so devastated by it that I was upset for a few days. I didn’t listen to it again until December 18th 2023 when I had to euthanize my best friend, my 12 year old Shiba Inu named Cake. This song’s impact stuck with me for so long that it was a no-brainer to play it for my sweet girl as she passed. Thank you for this masterpiece.

I sung this to my dog while he was dying in my arms, and now when I watch or listen to it, it makes me remember the precious baby I had in my life but now he's gone, and that he'll always be with me no matter what.

I had a friend for 20 years. I watched him born, I was 15. When his mom let me, I held him in my hand. He was small.
I let him run and kept him safe. He loved to run.
One day he got sick, he was older. Kidneys. Common for them.
I bought all the medicine, changed diets, did everything.
I told myself I would know when it was time. One day my friend laid down in the bath tub.
The last day we had, I held my best friend when they made him sleep. Before he went, he looked right into my eyes, turned, and went to sleep.
20 years.

I'm 34 years old now, and I realize that the theme of this music video applies to every time period of one's life.

This video represents the feeling of moving on and everything that we have to leave behind and then remembering it all years later and trying to go back but never finding what you once had again. Sad truth

I know this is for a dog, but.....I heard this song a long time ago.. My friend sent me this song. Today my dad passed away..I loved him so much and I will never stop..I'll miss you daddy. I love you..

My only complaint about this song is that it isn't longer.

11 lat temu, a wciąż wzrusza do łez. Ma w sobie bardzo ważny przekaz. Strasznie współczuję tej dziewczynie. Aż płakać mi się chcę patrząc, gdy nie zdążyła się pożegnać ze swoimi czterema stworami, dla których była ich najlepszą przyjaciółką.😢❤️

How are you able to sing this song without crying? Me and my wife can't get further than: "we will be with you" 😭

Tomorrow night I play this at my mother's funeral. Me and her got to see Gotye play this live and were touched by it. A fitting goodbye for anyone you loved.
