Gotye - In Your Light Lyrics






Get up in the morning
I can't keep it in
I'm falling all over myself
And I could jump out of my skin
Wanna break the door down
Just to greet the day
Coz there ain't nothing that's more certain
To keep my blues away

And I say
(La la, hey hey)
And I say
(La la, hey hey)

And it can settle the sadness
And the voices in my head
When I'm in the glow of the warmth you throw
I can put all that to bed

(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
In your light, just when I'm in your light
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
And I won't get by if you take that light away
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)

And when you're smiling on me
That is all I need
To put behind me all my worry
And life's complexities

It may be only a moment
But the world just falls away
And I forget myself
And everything else
That depressed me yesterday

And I can sing
(La la, hey hey)
Yeah I sing
(La la, hey hey)

When I'm in your light
All of this is clear
If only I could always be just as I am right here
When I'm in your light, just when I'm in your light
And I won't get by if you take that light away

(La la, hey hey)
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)

When I'm in your light
Nothing brings me down
If only I could always feel just as I do right now
When I'm in your light, just when I'm in your light
And I won't get by if you take that light away

When I'm in your light
All of this is clear
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
If only I could always be just as I am right here
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
In your light, just when I'm in your light
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
And I won't get by if you take that light away
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
No I won't get by if you take that light away
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
No I won't get by if you take that light away

Gotye In Your Light Comments
  1. K.... ....

    Had to look up this song....we play it at work.....and it's amazing that THIS is what we play at retail, instead of Gotye's bigger hit, "Somebody that you used to know"....but I'm grateful....this song needs more ears on it.

  2. L.... ....

    I love all musics from Making Mirrors S2 S2 S2

  3. G.... V....

    2019 still Jamming

    G.... V....

    Gane VaLima of course. :)

  4. t.... c....

    Was this supposed to be the second radio single aka follow up to someone who I used to know

  5. E.... L....

    This feels like a gospel song, lol.

  6. E.... J....

    Still in 2019, Gotye sounds amazing to me. His voice is so rangeful and his songs are really meaningful. Can't believe that people underrate him so much. Honestly, Gotye should start making songs again. But not just love songs as every single song is now. He should do this type of song. A happy and joyful song that people will listen to this and make them feel better in the morning. And is this period of time, there is a lot of people who is either sad or depressed. And love songs might not make people feel good because maybe they don't have someone to share there lifes and experiences with, so songs like these could really cure depression and make people see that there is a meaning to life.



    Wow I didn't realise I was such a motivational speaker. Promise you, I'm only twelve lol x

    E.... J....

    Honestly...he and Mika should do a happy collab together......they make such great music...and i get the feeling they would play off of each other very well.

  7. B.... C....

    Ahhhh Gotye, a genius of the pop and electronic varieties. I'm French and I listen ur song since I was 6 years old and ur songs makes me feel so free and very happy. Why I writed this comment on the phone of my mom, I don't really know, I have already 15 years old and I listen ur musics again and again. I just love it, I hope u enjoy this comment if u haved see that. Ur musics are ur. Nobody can copy ur masterpieces. We don't care to be famous or something like that, u just love what u doing and all like those persons, I don't understand why this music isn't famous, that's one of my favorite, well, I hope u gonna make us an another album.

  8. M.... ....

    if your ever feeling shit.....Just click back on this video.

  9. Z.... ....

    This was my alarm for years, and I still don't hate it. A great way to judge how good the song is.

  10. A.... G....

    500,000 audiences are here from ytp.

    100,000 Music lovers came here

    800,000 Audiences came here because they are a huge fan of gotye and looking at all his songs

    50,000 audiences came here because of randomly searching it

    5 came here from flipaclip



    I'm guessing YOUR Maybe from the ytp?


    and if you are a girl you are a fan of gotye

  11. D.... H....

    It's that song from Taco Bell

  12. C.... D....

    "Get up in the mornin, I cant get it in!"

    I work at Petco and that is all i hear when this song starts....at least 5 times a day...5 times a week....😵

  20. s.... p....

    amazing!! <3also playing this in 2018 :)

  21. H.... ....

    Don't hear acoustic guitar very often in this genre. Fresh

  22. T.... C....

    sounds like the cure

  23. G.... [....

    Radios don't deserve to remix these songs like they did to Somebody.

  24. U.... ....

    happier than used to know, good to know.

  25. S.... F....

    Is it just me or does this song sound like I Want You Back by the Jackson Five fused with Faith by George Michael? Definitely an underrated song and wish it had charted on the Hot 100

    S.... F....

    This is the most accurate thing I have ever read omg

  26. J.... W....

    I look crazy right now smiling. But I've been looking for this song forEVER. And I finally found it! Very happy right now. 😀😀😀

  27. L.... N....

    i wish i could marry this song

  28. D.... ....

    Can someone with vocal knowledge tell me what the high note he hit was @ 4:16 ? Is it a C4??

    D.... ....

    Daniel it is indeed a C4

    D.... ....

    Sebastian Tenesaca Haha, thanks!

    D.... ....

    Daniel mate im sorry, its a C5. i was mistaken

    D.... ....

    Sebastian Tenesaca Wow, thanks for letting me know. That's quite a range!

  29. S.... M....

    if this doesn't make you smile...I feel for you
    much love-me

    S.... M....

    I strongly agree 👌🏽

    S.... M....

    @Dec Brown ty !! my friend!! hope you keep shining your light!!

    S.... M....

    @Sean Manley, I sure will 😍 Thank You! Friend! ♥️

  30. S.... T....

    4:14 thoooo !!!

  31. N.... y....

    l love you gotye

    N.... y....

    FUUUCK OFF! I guess that I need to change that number.

    N.... y....

    @uncleltr I don't need that though

  32. m.... ....

    in your light sign :kimbra ih ih ih

  33. M.... W....

    I had that for my bell last year

  34. k.... ....

    Sounds like the intro song to a sitcom, akin to 'Friends'.

  35. E.... E....

    terrence shot a particle beam at the santa-claus-looking fatass who gets pissed at everything and a whole bunch of shit fell over and miles away in a store stupid rich kids threw milk all over the floor pretending they were tripping over shit and all this shit makes me so frustrated but i am moving on, moving on, life is flip turned upside down and i am gonna be sick and vomit everywhere with no way out or any help or anything and the quadriped is gone, the quadriped is gone...

  36. t.... ....

    I bought this album halfway through this song. There's not a single bad track on it. Too bad the radio stations only seem to think he did "Somebody I Used To Know".

  37. c.... ....

    it sounds like a super happy song, but when you really listen to the lyrics, it's kinda depressing..??

    c.... ....

    "I Feel Better" is in the same vein, but thematically includes the important aspect of overcoming the depression

    c.... ....

    I'd say it can be interpreted in two ways, the spiritual approach of comfort in belief of God helping one through hard times, or the physical approach of sunlight 'keeping your blues away' through chemicals like endorphins making you forget about the depression for a period of time, until night when 'you take that light away'.

    c.... ....

    I think it's about your love for someone being so powerful it blinds you from all of your other problems. That's just how I see it tho

  38. C.... S....

    l love you gotye💏💏💏💏

    C.... S....

    +FaceRightInIt fuck off you bitch .l.

    C.... S....

    Apparently, you haven't seen the cs188 youtube poop of this song.

    C.... S....

    +FaceRightInIt no estoy igual de estupida que tu

    C.... S....

    Guess I need to change my number

    C.... S....

    *TRIGGERED IN MEXICAN*

  39. K.... ....

    lmaoo that POOP brought us all here, which is kinda sad

    K.... ....

    @KettiexD It's not sad. YTPs are an art form all of their own. It isn't like they're slandering Gotye or anything.

    K.... ....

    @Tungsten Tourniquets Oh no they aren't, it's just that huge artists today are discovered through their music playing on commercials on tv or on the radio or on music billboards

    K.... ....

    do you have a link?

    K.... ....

    I wasn't influenced. Genuinely randomly found this, and keep coming back.

  40. B.... R....

    LA LA hey hey

  41. E.... S....

    O HELL YES ! A new ring tone bitches !

    E.... S....

    E.... S....

    +Dillon Patton *dies

    M.... ....

    YOU HUNG UP ON SOMEBODY THAT YOU USED
    but you HAKSHDKJAHSKDJHASKDHKSAHKDHSA

  43. J.... V....

    sounds a bit like phill collins and the tarzan songs :p

  44. V.... ....

    Hmm. Think i might have just found my New wake up song.

  45. n.... N....

    Aussie singer shining in the light, does our country proud....stay in the light ... :)

    n.... N....

    +nixie NICLA he's aussie? wow i thought he was german or something

    n.... N....

    Go, The Blues.

  46. R.... L....

    It's like Paul Simon's Grace Land on Ecstasy.

  47. J.... J....

    I wanna say, this has been on repeat for the last 7 years, but it has not even been out that long. Feels so fresh every time, I listen. Such a great groove!

    J.... J....

    sameeee!!!

  48. S.... M....

    To be completely honest, this might be my favorite song. No, not just from Gotye. EVER. And I know a CRAP TON of songs.

    S.... M....

    Sarah Manns lol wink wink

    S.... M....

    Gotye is the king of music I needed as a child.

    S.... M....

    It's a good song. But I have to hear it multiple times everyday at work and that makes me sad

    S.... M....

    @MrNancee1 I'm surprised this song would be getting played at someone's workplace since it's relatively obscure

  49. S.... _....

    FUUUUUU ( RING TONE PLAYS) HELLO? (KIMBRA SINGS) SREW ME SREW ME BUT I LOVE U GOTYE (GOTYE HA HANGS UP)

    S.... _....

    Shadow _Mist FUUUUUCK OFF! I think I need to change my number

    S.... _....

    You hung up on somebody that you used!

  50. N.... ....

    This song never fails to get me hyped.

  51. R.... B....

    Lol i bet so many of us came here from the YTP.....

    R.... B....

    +Cagan What was it called?

    R.... B....

    Gotye knows somebody that he used, I think @Chiwowza 

    R.... B....

    @Ethan8or Thank you!

    R.... B....

    Yup! Somebody that he used!

  52. M.... ....

    Esto es mucho mejor que duff punk!!!!!!!!

    M.... ....

    +leopoldo017 daft**

  53. S.... T....

    Honest feedback, the tune is totally boring, Gotye vocals are fucking brilliant, so he gets away with it, wish he'd do a cover of Every little thing she does is magic, and Wrapped around your finger, I can't think of anyone else to do a Sting cover properly, this guys got it :)

    S.... T....

    I do honestly like this song but I agree that he should do a cover of those Police songs (which are among my favorite)

  54. K.... B....

    He can change his voice in every song..He had a amazing voice..He's so cool.

    K.... B....

    He's very talented. That's why he has so many awards.

    K.... B....

    He has such a diverse sound, I love it

  55. m.... ....

    When I'm in your light, all of this is clear

  56. R.... W....

    auf deutsch

  57. R.... W....

    auf deutsch bitte

  58. R.... W....

    bitte mal über setzen

  59. C.... P....

    What a piece of shit, amirite gotye? huehue

    C.... P....

    You mean yourself?

    C.... P....

    You're drunk, bro. Go home.

    C.... P....

    @GiratinaGX @magicscreenman Crossbreed Priscilla is referring to the fact that Gotye himself hates this song but his label wanted him to use it. He describes it as a 'piece of shit' in this interview: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/man-in-the-mirror-20110929-1kxsz.html

  60. E.... W....

    I absolutely love this album.

  61. S.... ....

    I need to change my phone number !

  62. S.... S....

    He's a soulful man!

  63. 1.... ....

    I cant even imagine the guy from the somebody you used to know video singing this

    1.... ....

    Let alone that he makes all his music by himself, being a one man band. He's an amazing artist.

    1.... ....

    You need to buy this album - it has a ton of variety to it. Almost every single track sounds completely different from the previous. Gotye is an incredibly diverse artist.

    1.... ....

    That cool, but I simply don't like it, ifI bought it I'd never listen to it again, not my preference.

  64. a.... c....

    Bringin Motown back, baby! (Don't fight with me about genres, people. That's just how I relate to this song.) 

    a.... c....

    Why comment at all if you don't wan't people to argue with you?

    a.... c....

    Hahahaha be user I want people to share the live for the song, not fight about how to describe it.

  65. R.... ....

    Love itttttttttttttttt

  66. M.... T....

    this guy is my favorite singer of all time

  67. C.... G....

    Cheerful! ^_^

  68. w.... ....

    i love this song

  69. B.... P....

    I see you came back from cs188....

  70. S.... S....

    If you smile to me, that is all I need....

  71. s.... ....

    this man is a genius, really.

  72. G.... S....

    UBC Imagine Day!!!

  73. S.... S....

    Where are the live visuals of this song? I really liked

  74. D.... B....

    I'd say it's both :)

  75. F.... S....

    i dunno if my headphone is f*cking good or it is the music that awesome? :)

  76. I.... ....

    Youtube poop brought me here.

  77. a.... ....

    beatiful

  78. R.... A....

    what a fantastic voice

  79. G.... G....

    "Additional production and horns recording by Francois Tetaz" TETAZ, LOL.

  80. A.... ....

    CUS' I KNOW SOMEBODY THAT YOU USED!!!!!

  81. g.... ....

    kimbra's ringtone

  82. B.... M....

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

  83. M.... ....

    Guess i need to change my number!

  84. b.... ....

    I've listened to absolutely all of his songs on this channel, this being the last one. For being the last I listened to, it didn't disappoint at all. This is probably the first artist I've listened to where I loved every single one of their songs. Gotye is probably the most amazing and unique artists I've listened to so far.

  85. J.... E....

    I assume you mean the song "Faith"? Yes, it does. Also, the accoustic guitar at 2:50 sounds like a similar rift in "Lookin' Out My Back Door" by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Not that either of those acts are anywhere near as good as Gotye or anything...

  86. N.... G....

    both the beat and the guitar

  87. F.... ....

    -HELLO!
    -now i'm thinking 'bout all the times you screwed me over....
    -*screwmescrewmescrewme*

  88. S.... ....

    Gotye knows somebody that he used

  89. f.... ....

    yes the beat does

  90. m.... ....

    Gotye is the new Sting! ^^ (not that the old one needs replacing)

  91. P.... S....

    Love this song!

  92. c.... ....

    I need this on my phone when I go to school. It's so freaking uplifting.

  93. J.... R....

    This song its great !!!!!

  94. L.... P....

    Love Gotye, from West caost 3 year old to grandma!

  95. U.... G....

    The artist's name always reminds me of goatse.

  96. C.... R....

    Does this remind anyone of George Michael? Lol

  97. p.... ....

    I always hear this song at work and I LOVE this song. I just found out that it's by Gotye. It's already loved by default now. lol

  98. G.... N....

    lol true that!!!!!
