Songtext A distinctive sound Gotye

A distinctive sound

How to groove
One, two, three, hit!

Alright, let's get acquainted
Let's get acquainted
Hello there
Let's get acquainted
Music, from the base perspective

This is a journey into sound
A journey which, along the way
Will bring to you new colour,
New dimension, new values
And... a new experience:
Stereophonic sound

And now ladies and gentlemen
Our feature act tonight:

(singing)

STOP!

Come on!

That was the harpsichord
Nowadays most people seem to prefer
The television or radio to the harpsichord
But you still hear the piano all the time
The flute couldn't do that!

These are some of the difficulties with being
In disposition and (?)
And just wanting to relate to you
And touch you; not physically, but by vibration

Ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!

Never heard a metal sound like that before...

The drummer is the heartbeat
Everything comes from him
The beat, the time
He is the heartbeat
It's just like the heart pumping blood to the rest of the body
He is the heartbeat of the whole band, of a group
He is the heartbeat

I think around the midpoint of my career
I started to experiment with sounds
Then it became very important to me to
Get a distinctive sound
Get a distinctive sound
Get a distinctive sound
Get a distinctive sound

Maybe if I spend more time practicing
Eventually, I can get it together

Um, here's some more music

Alright, here we go!
Gonna use a little power pips like I showed you before
We're gonna chuck 'em real good
A minor to F!
Just like all the heavy metal guys use
OK, lets get some of that smoke
Just like on MTV
Yeah, alright!

(Music)
Alright
Yeah, alright
(Can you say that again?)
Alright
Yeah!
Let's play a note
Alright
Yeah alright
Here's some more music
Alright
Get a distinctive sound

We've covered a lot of ground, haven't we?
If there's a part of our story you don't understand
Why don't you turn this record over and start playing over again
Over again
Over again...
