Eyes Wide Set Go

Royal Tailor - Ready Set Go
Gotye - Eyes Wide Open


While listening to music, R and I either are reminded of other songs, or try to make a connection to other songs as well as what bands they seem to sound like to us.

I'm sure most people who listen to the radio had a phase where they loved Gotye for a while, or at least 'that one song on the radio' with that Kimbra chick. Well I won't deny that I got obsessed with Gotye's work for a moment there because of his song Somebody That I Used to Know. I looked up his older stuff and listened to all his work for a minute there, never really memorized it all, but I did get a favorite song out of it that wasn't on his recent hit album, so that was nice at least. 

Anyway, while listening to all these songs I made an odd connection to a random song I heard maybe once while surfing around youtube. The song called Ready Set Go by Royal Tailors reminded me of the Gotye song Eyes Wide Open. Actually while listening to this Royal Tailors song it triggered a Gotye memory and I started to listen to the songs until I made the connection with the Eyes Wide Open song of his. 

The chorus in Ready Set Go where the words 'ready set go' are literally being sung reminds me of the line 'everything we had everything we did' in Gotye's Eyes Wide Open song, which is about 0:29 in to this song.

There's slight differences of course, but similar enough for me to make the connection! This one bothered me for a bit too, because I could not figure out what song my brain was trying to think of for a while.
