LYRICS 🥀🖤🥀 In the end, it's stronger Than I know how to be And I can't just spend My whole lifetime wondering I fell in love with the sound Of my heels on the wooden floor I don't want our footsteps To be silent anymore [Hook] Want them to be in the moment Storm clouds are closing [Verse 2] In the end it’s coming There’s nothing left to do But I'm still not certain Just how I'm gonna feel [Hook] I'll only know in the moment Anticipation growing [Chorus] It's getting closer Ooh, it's getting closer It's getting closer (I'm not ready) Ooh, it's getting closer (I need a little more time) [Chorus] It's getting closer (Closer every day) (Don't cry, we'll be okay) Ooh, it's getting closer (Closer, call of the damned) (Hold on and breathe if you can) It's getting closer (Closer, I'm not ready) Ooh, it's getting closer (I need a little more time) (Breathe if you can) It's getting closer (I'm not ready yet) Ooh, it's getting closer (I need a little more time) It's getting closer Ooh, it's getting closer
You can't say a six year old song is "timeless". It's still relatively new in my book, lol. Listen to All I Wanna Do by The Beach Boys. That tune is from 1970 and doesn't sound far from something you'd hear today.
Which is why I called the whole double CD an ambushing - and how I got waylaid at age sixty-one. All too often - and for longer than I have been alive - there are album - and later cassette and CD - album releases that have "filler" tracks on them. (This is not a "compilation" or "live" album OR CD/double CD - yet there is not a single filler track to be found.) Hence "ambushing". In fact, I feel WORSE in that I missed the local stop on their current tour (Capital One Arena).
I think what makes Tame Impala so special is that Kevin doesn’t just make the music by himself, he pours his soul into each song. Every word and beat conveys an emotion that he translates into music. It’s not some catchy lyrics written by some outside songwriter or over repetitive beat to appeal to as many consumers as possible. It’s just him making something that he thinks is really cool and sharing it with us, and that unique aspect to his songs makes him extremely popular.
The lyrics are brilliant, but then anyone who can assemble all these layers of sound into something that sounds so sublime is a level of genius that even IQ numbers cannot describe
crazy how one song can bring everyone who listens to it to a different place, like for me, this brings me back to christmas and the shit i was going through, but for my friends it’s always something different. congrats on platinum kevin.
2:20 This riff jumped straight from the 70s/80s, and still sounds like it's from 2015 at the same time. Friggin' madlad, Kevin... Tame Impala is so timeless! Can't wait to see what they do next.
I’ll never forget the first time listening to this song, I was at a beach with some buddies in a tent tripping balls some of us were on shrooms, some on acid. I was peaking on acid laying in the tent and this song came on and instantly made my trip so much better, thank you Kevin
There is such a simple beauty to the bassline right around 3:08. The fingerings/structure is fairly straightforward. But it's used *so* effectively in the context of the rest of the song. I've never heard a more infectious bassline. I've been a Tame Impala fan for years but am just now appreciating how fucking good this song is.
I had my first and only car accident while The Moment was playing, and the crash/impact happened immediately after he said "It's getting closer!" That song brought the crash back for maybe 6 months. So maybe the song was just about my accident getting closer? Just kidding of course, lol.
It's a bit vague, just like Let It Happen it's more representing a significant event emotionally. Whether it's an epiphany or a final decision. A new day, a new dawn is getting closer. His footsteps won't be silent anymore because he'll be experiencing a change, and that change is ever closer.
Currents is just one of those albums that you can listen to every day without getting tired of. Whether you’re happy or sad, the songs just fit the mood
These lyrics are brilliant, but then anyone who can assemble all these layers of sound into something that sounds so sublime is a level of genius that even IQ numbers cannot describe
In the end it's stronger than I know how to be! Being a drug addict for over 20 years this hits! The best way I know how to explain the pull. I know the song has likely nothing to do with drugs. But it has a lot to do with the mind at the end of the day that's what drugs effect. Love this guy
Can you all believe some people hate on this album? I couldnt imagine having that shit in taste where you would shit on anything Kevin comes out with. I would give so much to meet this man. I have to talk to him.
Anyone else still listen to this tripping ? Absolute art maybe the most skillful artist on the planet the way he can make you feel anything he wants in each song , or maybe I'm just bare high

as a younger generation I appreciate it
i love u
I wish i could feel this way with new music when im 66 years old too
Yup there are still sometimes flashes of the level of brilliance so plentiful among bands from the Boomers' 20s & 30s :)
JASoli same
Timeless song, could have been released in the 80’s or in 10 years.
more like late 70s and early 80s... or otherwise late 2020s
He makes me feel like it's 2015 and everything's okay again. Back in time

Really, now that you spoke ... I can appreciate even more this new wave of Currents

LYRICS 🥀🖤🥀
In the end, it's stronger
Than I know how to be
And I can't just spend
My whole lifetime wondering
I fell in love with the sound
Of my heels on the wooden floor
I don't want our footsteps
To be silent anymore
[Hook]
Want them to be in the moment
Storm clouds are closing
[Verse 2]
In the end it’s coming
There’s nothing left to do
But I'm still not certain
Just how I'm gonna feel
[Hook]
I'll only know in the moment
Anticipation growing
[Chorus]
It's getting closer
Ooh, it's getting closer
It's getting closer
(I'm not ready)
Ooh, it's getting closer
(I need a little more time)
[Chorus]
It's getting closer
(Closer every day)
(Don't cry, we'll be okay)
Ooh, it's getting closer
(Closer, call of the damned)
(Hold on and breathe if you can)
It's getting closer
(Closer, I'm not ready)
Ooh, it's getting closer
(I need a little more time)
(Breathe if you can)
It's getting closer
(I'm not ready yet)
Ooh, it's getting closer
(I need a little more time)
It's getting closer
Ooh, it's getting closer
I always thought he said "and I can't just spend my whole life doing laundry" lmaoooo
Since last five years we have listened to it so many times, we don't want no lyrics
(I need a little more time)
I notice a similarity with the lyrics of breathe deeper, I wonder if they were both inspired by similar narcotic related events?
We are being warned
guys.... it’s getting closer.
i can practically smell it
I can taste it
i can hear it
I can feel it
I can see it
Tame Impala makes the type of music that you would listen to when you're chilling and wants live.
It's magic, life, love.
It gives the feel
Definitely get a pagan vibe from his music
this chic is a HAPPY CHIC.....
This just proves how timeless Currents is
I mean it's only 6 years old
I know I'll be listening for at least another 20 years just like the ppl iv been listening to for the past 25years

3:08 to the end is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED 😩 omfg the eargasms

it was just certified platinum

I think this is one of my favorites of all of Tame Impala’s. Just so iconic sounding.
The moment and reality in motion are my favorite songs from currents
Reality in motion is underrated
Leo Wentzel ikr it’s one of my favorites but most people don’t even recognize it in their top 5
I fell in love with the sound of my heels on the wooden floor...
I can't spend my whole life time wondering that 🤷
This song is so dope. It's like something out of a dream.
I can feel it

Same bro. It’s such a strong, commanding bassline that drives the beat.
This song just doesn't get old. Every time I listen it's like the first time.
I've fallen hard for Tame Impala.
One of my favourites. Pure 80"s vibe.
My favorite Tame Impala song. That beginning is everything
2:20 so many words being said with no words being said, idk how to describe how it makes me feel
oh man.. this song captures an era of my life...
This song is such a vibe. Always puts me in a good mood
the greatest unsolved mystery: WTF IS GETTING CLOSER KEVIN WE’VE BEEN WAITING 5 YEARS
I had my first and only car accident while The Moment was playing, and the crash/impact happened immediately after he said "It's getting closer!"
That song brought the crash back for maybe 6 months. So maybe the song was just about my accident getting closer? Just kidding of course, lol.

I thought it was about a breakup with his girlfriend?

This solo, these lyrics, Kevin Parker...truly THANK YOU for giving us music we all can listen to and enjoy together through these intense times.
In the end it's stronger than I know how to be! Being a drug addict for over 20 years this hits! The best way I know how to explain the pull.
