About This Track

Eyes Wide Open is the first single from Gotye’s third album, released in early 2011. The Eyes Wide Open Songfacts explains the bassline that underpins this ecologically themed song is made up of samples of Gotye playing The Winton Musical Fence, which is a musical instrument installation consisting of five huge metal strings attached to fence posts, and connected to a wooden resonant chamber. The fence is located in Winton, Queensland and Gotye took the opportunity to record sounds from the unusual instrument on his portable stereo recorder.

    This is just amazing. Reminds me so much of Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) by Arcade Fire.

    Just heard him sing this song on SNL. I usually don't listen to this type of music I usually like metal music but I found the songs to be very good and he is talented....I wish him the best of luck...It seems like he is getting alot of listeners.

    A musician for everyone. My boyfriend primarily listens to Death metal but I just found out that he listens to Gotye. Now I am more in love with both of them.
