Gotye: Here In This Place Meaning
Here In This Place Lyrics
Here in this place
The slow wind sings gently to the rolling waves
I touch your face
And we leave conscious thought for the freedom of this drug-like daze
And I heard you say

In 2001, Gotye recorded his first tracks primarily using samples. He put together a four-track CD which included the song 'Out Here in the Cold'.[1] He made approximately 50 copies of this first collection, handwriting the track list and colouring in the cover sleeve in pencil. He drew on his cultural history for inspiration when naming his new project; Wouter, Gotye's birth name, translates into French as Gaultier (or Gautier or Gauthier), a pet name used by his mother (who gave French classes) when he was a child. He chose his own spelling of this variation and named the project Gotye. He sent the CDs out to every radio station and recording industry contact he could find in the phonebook, then followed each up with phone calls to ensure they were delivered. Feedback on the first release was mainly positive with Melbourne street press and Australian youth radio station Triple J taking notice,[2] giving him confidence to continue with further sample-based recordings.
