Gotye.

Love the art in the video. Reminds me of another GREAT video, though not very similar (this is the faster version of the song for the video: listen to the full 7 minute version: its amazing.) Since we're talking about videos, figure this one out:

Unhappy?

All the below mentioned people were unhappy for most of their thinking lives. Most people didn't understand these guys and what they said. They could not make sense of the world either (or perhaps they made too much sense?)

All these guys had a different view of the world. They could see what others couldn't. Perhaps they could hear what others couldn't; and that's why they made music which millions heard and will continue to hear as long as humanity exists.

Why they were unhappy?
They saw the world in a particular way, but they could not understand why the others around them couldn't see.
While others saw the trees, they saw the forest.
While others saw the watch, they saw the time.
While others saw the faces, they saw the emotions.
While others saw the disorder, they saw the disease.
While others saw the wings, they saw the flight.

Jim Morrisson

James "Jim" Morrison was an American singer, songwriter, poet, writer and filmmaker. He was best known as the lead singer and lyricist of The Doors and is widely considered to be one of the most charismatic frontmen in rock music history. He reportedly had an I.Q. of 149.He was most well known for his theatrical stage persona, his self-destructiveness, and his work as a poet. He died under 'mysterious' circumstances at an early age of 27.

"I don't know how many of you people believe in astrology... I think its a bunch of bullshit myself, ya listen baby, listen... I'm a Sagittarius, the most philosophical of all the signs; I don't know what's gonna happen man, but I tell you this man, I tell you this- I wanna have my kicks before the old shithouse goes up in flames."

Nick Drake

Nicholas Rodney "Nick" Drake (19 June 1948 – 25 November 1974) was an English singer-songwriter and musician best known for his haunting, acoustic, autumnal songs. During his final years, the producer was taken aback at Drake's anger and bitterness: "[He said that] I had told him he was a genius, and others had concurred. Why wasn't he famous and rich. This rage must have festered beneath that inexpressive exterior for years." He was hired for his fourth and last album album; his mother later recalled, "We were so absolutely thrilled to think that Nick was happy because there hadn't been any happiness in Nick's life for years."
Nick Drake died at home from an overdose of amitriptyline at the age of 26 years.

"Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me 'til I'm dead?
"

Elliott Smith

Elliott Smith was a musician who was found dead at a relatively young age of 34 ,with a couple of stab wounds in his chest. Suicide(?).

"I won't take your medicine,
I don't need a remedy
To be everything I'm supposed to be
I don't want nobody else
I can do it by myself

We're meant to be together"

Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain: committed suicide at the unripe (?) age of 27.
" I'd rather be hated for who I am than be loved for who I am not."
I couldn't agree more.
