The part where he says “I want to say it’s all right, you’re just a man after all, and I know you had demons, I’ve got some of my own, I think you passed them along.” It gets me every time.

To everyone who understands this song on a deeper level and to those who experience true pain and sorrow from this song you are not alone. Having a rocky relationship with a parent can be so difficult and I know how you feel stay strong
My mother and I are not close, she left when I was 10 and I listen to this song any time I want to reconnect. Its gonna be rough when the old man passes
@@depressedpacito7024 i feel you man im the same but opposite of your situation dad left at 2 mums been the rock holding my life down ever since so this song really Hits home about a dad who wasnt there
What if you don't want to? What if your life is better with them at a long distance? I know I could care less at this point in my life to be close to my parents. I prefer to be isolated and alone because no one else understands me except me. My family doesn't understand me and they never have. That's why I have never belonged and there's no point in forcing myself to fit in with a family who doesn't show any love or care for me.
Benno Finch eeehhhhhh maybe not, the two teaser tracks we have so far comprise of mostly synths/electronic stuff which isn't as cool to watch performance wise.
So beautifully crafted, especially the switch. He expresses his anger for his dad, then ultimately he says he forgives him for all he's done, and just wants him back.
My dad died a couple months ago, we didn't have a good relationship so i didn't really mourn. I finally cried when i heard the second half of this song. Appreciate it, Kevin.
i had always thought of my mom listening to this song pot and guiness, i thought of my dad crying like i did listening to this the first time yes im 43 and haven't had parents for 20 years
I have a fairly good relationship with my dad, but he still left when I was 2. He's tried hard to stay in my life despite the efforts of my mom. He remarried, had another kid... just a few years ago that stepmom died, and he's been very quiet since. Somehow the lyrics speak to the spirit of my minor daddy issues, and I totally cried like a baby when I listened to this song.
@@PMurray2694 yeah, I enjoyed it on second it's just the starts really really wierd and I couldn't vibe to the right of the song afterwards...It's good, not great, but good probably better in the context of the whole album.
I think this might be the realest Kevin has been through his lyrics. As someone who grew up without a father figure It really hit me (with some differences of course) I love Kevin so much. I love how raw this is.
Same, my father died when i was little kid so we are on the same boat. He died 20 years ago, but i still miss him even tho i almost forgot him. It’s weird
My dad took his life back in 2008 I was only 14 years old, he bought me my first guitar and taught me the fundamentals, but we never got the chance to actually play when I started writing my own songs and really learning how to play music, he never got a chance to listen to Tame Impala, but I know he would've loved them based on his musical taste. I often thought and wished how we could play songs together again and I could show him the music I listen to now and how it inspired me, and here comes this song. It's funny/amazing how life works and how much music can express and connect human beings together. Music is always my getaway and my therapy, whether I play it or listen to it, I will cherish it always.
“And you could store an ocean in the holes in any of the explanations that you gave. And while you still had time, you had a chance, but you decided to take all your sorries to the grave” some of the deepest lyrics ever written
I want Kevin Parker to write an autobiography when he's old and done with music. Everything about his life and what he learned along the way. Music speaks volumes but I'd love to read more about his mind and how music influenced his life as one of the biggest musicians of the 21st century. Edit: Wow maybe Kevin will see this and consider it hah
The first half feels so flagrantly like anger and catharsis, and all the unexpressed pain. And the second half is almost this abrupt realizing of the need to heal, and forgive, and the rueful longing of a re-do. Just, goddamn Kevin. He was already one of the best lyricists of our time, but he raises the bar so high with the vulnerability this album.
I'm three years late, but man this song moved me. In a month it will have been five years since I found my father when he took his own life. We had a complicated relationship. Still, this is the first time I'm hearing this song and I didn't know how much I needed it. Winter is always kind of a bleak time, especially since that day. Here I am again, thanking Kevin for being the artist that he is and creating such a healing song. We're gonna be okay, guys.
Reflection, rejection, humiliation, adoration, so many emotions pouring out. How can anyone put their heart so openly out there and still produce such a frikin good jam to encapsulate it all. All hail Kevin Parker.
"I wanna tell you about my life". I felt that loss and longing. Holy shit. My heart longs for the past and those who we want to sing our songs to. Thank you.
Probably the first half. There was a long time where I skipped cuz I didn't like how it sounded, but I gave it a chance and when that second half happened I couldn't help but cry
Lyrics: Ever since I was a small boy No one else compared to you, no way I always thought heroes stay close Whenever troubled times arose I didn't know Ain't always how it goes Every single word you told me I believed without a question, always To save all of us, you told us both to trust But now I know you only saved yourself Did you think I'd never know? Never wise-up as I grow And you could store an ocean in the holes In any of the explanations that you gave And while you still had time, you had a chance But you decided to take all of your sorrys to the grave Did you think I'd never know? Never wise-up as I grow Did you hope I'd never doubt? Never wonder, work it out? You were runnin' for cover Doin' like any other Fallin' out with a lover You didn't know that I'd suffer What a thing to discover There was time to recover Move on with each other Just a boy and a father What I'd give for another Everything that I have Couldn't need this for long Never speak of the time That you left us alone Me and Steve on our own I wanna tell you 'bout the time Wanna tell you 'bout my life Wanna play you all my songs Nonetheless, sing along (This time) Wanna tell you 'bout the time (I know) I was in Abbey Road Or the time that I had Mick Jagger on the phone I thought of you when we spoke Wanna tell you 'bout the time Wanna tell you 'bout my life Wanna play you all my songs Hear your voice, sing along I wanna say it's alright You're just a man after all And I know you have demons I got some of my own Think you passed 'em along Wanna tell you 'bout the time Wanna tell you 'bout my life Wanna play you all my songs And hear your voice sing along
Damn I straight up called my dad after listening and man am I thankful all it takes is one phone call to hear his voice thanks Kevin for making me realize how important he is to me.
“Wanna tell you 'bout the time Wanna tell you 'bout my life Wanna play you all my songs And hear your voice sing along” this song makes me cry, no matter how shitty our parents can be, there will always be that part in us that loves them no matter what
listening to this the day after my mother’s funeral service, i felt numb the entirety yesterday but i’m letting the tears pour now. i love you mom, i know you had your demons and hopefully you can rest easy now.
The worst thing about Tame is there are a few songs where I just start liking due to the tune and beat... then one or two listens later I piece together the lyrics and end up sobbing and later in an emotional mess for an evening. Certainly, I need the release but it hits like a train. Cheers Kevin, great song
Same exact thing happened to me. I listened twice and then looked up lyrics and the very next time I listened I ugly cried knowing what it was about. Now every time I get RIGHT up to that point where my eyes start welling up just as the song ends, almost as if he planned for that to happen because that's right where he cuts it off. I can't wait for this album.
lol same for me I'm not native English speaker, and when I first listened to the "Borderline" and "The less I know the better" I didn't understand the lyrics but the tune and the beat have captivated me. I couldn't stop listening to it. Then I played the lyrics video and started realizing how deep the lyrics are and how well they go with the music.
LYRICS: Ever since I was a small boy No one else compared to you, no way I always thought heroes stayed close Whenever troubled times arose I didn't know, ain't always how it goes Every single word you told me I believed without a question, always To save all of us You told us both to trust But now I know you only saved yourself Did you think I'd never know? Never wise-up as I grow? And you could store an ocean in the Holes in any of the explanations that you gave And while you still had time, you had a chance But you decided to take all your sorry's to the grave Did you think I'd never know? Never wise-up as I grow? Did you hope I'd never doubt? Never one day work it out? You were runnin' for cover Doin' like any other Fallen out with a lover You didn't know that I suffered What a thing to discover If there was time to recover One on one with each other Just a boy and a father What I'd give for another Everything that I have I wouldn't need us for long I'd never speak of the time That you left us alone Me and Steve, on our own I wanna tell you about the time Wanna tell you about my life Wanna play you all my songs Learn the words, sing along Wanna tell you about the time I was in Abbey Road Or the time that I had Mick Jagger on the phone I thought of you when he spoke Wanna tell you about that time Wanna tell you about my life Wanna play you all my songs And hear your voice sing along I wanna say it's alright You're just a man after all And I know you had demons I got some of my own I think you passed them along I wanna tell you about the time Wanna tell you about my life Wanna play you all my songs And hear your voice sing along
I saw my Dad yesterday after 30 years. My daughter is 18 and met him. I forgave him but time goes by and you can't get it back. My daughter plays this song and told me the lyrics. Her mom left us and this is her way of healing. 😢
I'm so sorry that you and your daughter were abandoned by the mother and that so much time has passed with your parent. I hope that the both of you find peace and healing soon. ❤
I swear to god the part starting at 3:49-6:06 can be a song itself, I love this song but that final bit is the reason I listen to this song. Sometimes I skip to that part and loop it.
Wanna tell you 'bout the time Wanna tell you 'bout my life Wanna play you all my songs I hear your voice, sing along That hit hard. He's singing with you, Kevin, and so we are
FooeyMcgooey consciousness is created from our body, when you die, you disintegrate back to the earth, just like any other wild animal or insect. Suggesting there is an after life is suggesting that consciousness is entirely separate from our body.
I lost my Dad years ago. He was abusive and I hated him for years. I was angry at him for never admitting his mistakes and apologizing. I feel like I'm finally coming around. I haven't made it to the forgiveness part, but it's coming. Anyway, this song is tragic and beautiful and as Kevin did, I'm beginning to see my Dad was "just a man" and "had demons of his own." Thank you Kevin for helping me heal. ❤❤❤
My dad abandoned my mom & I, when Kenvin says " wanna tell you about time, wanna tell about my life" I ball out crying cause I never had a real dad & why would my dad abandoned us??? Am 37 years old that shit is still there. Stay strong!!!
Kevin, my grandpa suffered from a stroke today. He’s lost a lot of his memory, and is pretty confused. I just wanted to let you know that ever since I found your music last year, my life has been completely changed. With this song, and what has happened in my life today, Im able to really think of the amazing relationship I’ve had with my grandpa. I know you probably won’t see this, but I love your music, and can’t wait for the release of the album in February. To everyone out there, just remember "This could be the day that we push through It could be the day that all our dreams come true” Just a bit of Apocalypse dreams for you there. I’ve experienced a lot recently, and from everyone else who has found Kevin’s music inspirational, just know that you can push through, no matter what you’ve faced
tame impala never fails to make me feel nostalgia for something that hasn’t happened yet edit: yes I know that this is about his dad passing away. im terribly sad that he’s goin thru this especially since his lyrics are pretty deep. it’s just that, when you listen to his music for the first time, the feeling you get, the chills, it makes me feel like smth unexplainable has happened. i can’t describe it but i hope u understand.
Kevin can use music to activate emotion from a soul like my girlfriend uses anything from my past or present, oh let's not kid even the future, to bring up as topic for conversation as to test my spiritual lojack I have inside. Fully effective against evil and vibes of the negative.
@@Zafocaine Most artists who create material do seem to eventually run out of ideas (good ones anyway), but there are those special few that keep producing quality stuff for years. Kevin Parker looks like one of those. He reminds me of another great musician, who also does so many things in the studio, and hasn't put a bad album out in his entire 25 year career- Beck. Want proof? Check out ""Stratosphere" off his new lp.
@@NewGoldStandard he is replying with that link in every damn comment on this video. Go away Juan! Take your memes elsewhere. This comment section is for reveling in the pure ❤️ that is Tame Impala, not meme link sharing.
its never too late to reconnect! Listen to this song together and tell him exactly what it made you feel, it'll close old doors and open new, promising ones
When I hear this I can’t help but think of my dad who passed away from alcoholism. It just makes me feel a little bit better to know that someone else understands.
When I first heard this song.....I had the opinion that this is not among his best work. But man, why is it that everything this guy makes gets better and better with more listens? Kevin puts out the good stuff.
Surfmorworkless Dude same here At first I didn’t really like this but then after a few listens I was like “what the fuck?” This is yet another song that gets better the more you listen to it
he uses something called subliminals, u cant hear them but ur subconscious does and it manifests everything it hears. kevin puts great subliminals in his, for great things in our life and his music, we get addicted to it and keep coming back to it. be aware though, people put bad subs in their songs, but u can trust kevin.
I heard someone say this “sounded like currents leftovers”. I don’t know what the fuck they listened to, because this is already becoming one of my favorite Tame Impala songs. Incredible stuff. I may be a Tame Impala fanboy but I would love this song no matter who released it.
Yeah, forget him. I have been on board since August 2010, and love the new tunes just as much if not more (Borderline especially). This is perhaps the saddest TI song ever!
Kevin Scholfield I’m fairly new to Tame Impala I guess. I started listening to them in 2015 after hearing “Let it Happen” for the first time and absolutely loved it. Every album sounds perfect in its own way. This record already seems to be fitting in that category.
Lyrics... [Part I] Ever since I was a small boy No one else compared to you, no way I always thought heroes stay close Whenever troubled times arose I didn't know Ain't always how it goes Every single word you told me I believed without a question, always To save all of us, you told us both to trust But now I know you only saved yourself Did you think I'd never know? Never wise up as I grow And you could store an ocean in the holes In any of the explanations that you gave And while you still had time, you had a chance But you decided to take all of your sorrys to the grave Did you think I'd never know? Never wise up as I grow Did you hope I'd never doubt? Never wonder, work it out? [Part II] You were runnin' for cover Doin' like any other Fallin' out with a lover You didn't know that I'd suffer What a thing to discover There was time to recover Move on with each other Just a boy and a father What I'd give for another Everything that I have Couldn't need this for long Never speak of the time That you left us alone Me and Steve on our own I wanna tell you 'bout the time I wanna tell you 'bout my life Wanna play you all my songs Learn the words, sing along (This time) Wanna tell you 'bout the time (I know) I was in Abbey Road Or the time that I had Mick Jagger on the phone I thought of you when we spoke Wanna tell you 'bout the time Wanna tell you 'bout my life Wanna play you all my songs Hear your voice sing along I wanna say it's all right You're just a man after all And I know you have demons I got some of my own Think you passed them along Wanna tell you 'bout the time Wanna tell you 'bout my life Wanna play you all my songs And hear your voice sing along
my father abused me and put me through some bad trauma & we didn’t have a good relationship or speak for years. he got cancer and died earlier this year. this song has helped me in ways i can’t even explain
This song makes we want to hug my dad. Especially the line, "I wanna say it's alright, just a man after all, and I know you have demons, I have some of my own, I think you passed then along". Shit is so relatable.
Has me crying, thinking about a close friend who’s dad was a prolific and well loved man in our community, did a shameful thing, fell from grace, and passed away tragically soon after in a motorcycle accident. This song is his
Impala, I dont usually comment on songs even when the lyrics resonate a time in my life. I am hearing this for the first time today and I just wanted to appreciate the expression level of emotion you put into this production and lyrics. My father (and brother) passed away close to 6 years ago, and these lyrics are very resonating to my heart (literally feel it). This song is close to my heart now, man, and now so are you. I am thankful for experiencing your music now and onward.
this is gonna be one of those songs where he does it live and starts crying midway I can see it already rip kevins dad
joseschannel 2.0 aw :(((

Him singing about his dad at the end killed me... "Want to tell you bout my life. Want to play you all my songs, hear your voice sing along"
His dad was afraid a music career would kill Kevin's passion for music I believe. Think he'd be glad he's been proven wrong so far.
whole song was about his father, truly beautiful!
I can relate to this having lost my dad recently
His father passed away from cancer during the recording of Tame Impala's debut album. Damn...
I got a feeling this guy knows the kind of music I need in each period of my life
Literally same.
To all the sons, daughters and fathers listening to this right now: there is still time to make things right
🤞
I’ve tried so many times. Addiction has gripped them so deeply.
True that
Unless they're dead, like this song is about

I want Kevin Parker to write an autobiography when he's old and done with music. Everything about his life and what he learned along the way. Music speaks volumes but I'd love to read more about his mind and how music influenced his life as one of the biggest musicians of the 21st century.
Edit: Wow maybe Kevin will see this and consider it hah
true..
Who says he's gonna be done with music?
And I hope it's thicker than the thickest Harry Potter book
He is writing an autobiography through his discograpy ;)
Like Daft Punk style with Giorgio by Moroder song
You can just feel his anger through the crazy repeated kicks in the percussion as well as the harsh and grim synth that follows.
Man I love it.
literally, tho I feel that anger in my soul, brings me to tears
it really captures the anger you feel towards your parents when you realize they did fucked up things to you as a kid 💔
My favourite part of the song. I listen to it very loudly in my car and feel it cleaning everything inside of me.

Much love 🧡
I'm so sorry, I really hope you're doing well!
the vibe, the lyrics, the chord progressions, and the sorrow in his voice are making me sob I love u Kevin

It really is a freaking masterpiece
I havent checked it up yet, but the bassline is pretty sweet, and if it isn't a guitar with an octave pedal, then ill agree with you 100%
Like most of his PRODUCTIONS are.
Tame Impala, Pond's The Weather, Melody's first album (at least the drums)
Kevin Parker is one of the most talented and genius artists of our time. This will hold up decades for now. Absolutely blown away.

He doesn't say that line anywhere in this song😅
How is this not considered one of his best songs?
It is considered to be one of his best songs.
@@truefunksoul8638 When I first commented on it, it didn't have that many views, glad that it is getting the attention it deserves!
Probably the first half. There was a long time where I skipped cuz I didn't like how it sounded, but I gave it a chance and when that second half happened I couldn't help but cry
But... both halves slap really hard?
@@cameronfrye8311 Yeah the first half, while interesting and bold, is kind of irritating and not very organic.
I feel like my soul is been cleansed by this high power
Lyrics:
Ever since I was a small boy
No one else compared to you, no way
I always thought heroes stay close
Whenever troubled times arose
I didn't know
Ain't always how it goes
Every single word you told me
I believed without a question, always
To save all of us, you told us both to trust
But now I know you only saved yourself
Did you think I'd never know?
Never wise-up as I grow
And you could store an ocean in the holes
In any of the explanations that you gave
And while you still had time, you had a chance
But you decided to take all of your sorrys to the grave
Did you think I'd never know?
Never wise-up as I grow
Did you hope I'd never doubt?
Never wonder, work it out?
You were runnin' for cover
Doin' like any other
Fallin' out with a lover
You didn't know that I'd suffer
What a thing to discover
There was time to recover
Move on with each other
Just a boy and a father
What I'd give for another
Everything that I have
Couldn't need this for long
Never speak of the time
That you left us alone
Me and Steve on our own
I wanna tell you 'bout the time
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
Wanna play you all my songs
Nonetheless, sing along
(This time) Wanna tell you 'bout the time
(I know) I was in Abbey Road
Or the time that I had
Mick Jagger on the phone
I thought of you when we spoke
Wanna tell you 'bout the time
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
Wanna play you all my songs
Hear your voice, sing along
I wanna say it's alright
You're just a man after all
And I know you have demons
I got some of my own
Think you passed 'em along
Wanna tell you 'bout the time
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
Wanna play you all my songs
And hear your voice sing along
Thank you
😞this is so sad
🐐
There's a mistake in the part "Me and Steve on our own", the correct lyrics is: "Mistery, while I roam"
Sometimes in forgiveness, it gives the one giving it more relief. Powerful stuff. Pray it helps him find solace.
When the beat went “rohorohorhorho”.. I felt that
Maddy Marie AHAHA
Sick moment
I felt it in my plums!
Jojo fans 🗣
Seyi Kanagui me too
First half is anger, second half is a regretful understanding. Each half is very necessary and equally good and important
Damn I straight up called my dad after listening and man am I thankful all it takes is one phone call to hear his voice thanks Kevin for making me realize how important he is to me.
That's deep, man. Cherish each moment.
Kevin never ceases to amaze me with his production skills
“Wanna tell you 'bout the time
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
Wanna play you all my songs
And hear your voice sing along” this song makes me cry, no matter how shitty our parents can be, there will always be that part in us that loves them no matter what
Stacy Vega this comment broke me into pieces

True...
Yes :/
listening to this the day after my mother’s funeral service, i felt numb the entirety yesterday but i’m letting the tears pour now. i love you mom, i know you had your demons and hopefully you can rest easy now.
Hope you are ok. Just be ok
No onions being cut here. Just a grown man crying.
tame impala: _exists_
me: _psychedelic sorrow_
Refilwe Dihutso spot on my mood rn
Same
Temples and Tame Impala
also note: existential angst
Or like psychedelic arrow...
The worst thing about Tame is there are a few songs where I just start liking due to the tune and beat... then one or two listens later I piece together the lyrics and end up sobbing and later in an emotional mess for an evening. Certainly, I need the release but it hits like a train.
Cheers Kevin, great song
Same exact thing happened to me. I listened twice and then looked up lyrics and the very next time I listened I ugly cried knowing what it was about. Now every time I get RIGHT up to that point where my eyes start welling up just as the song ends, almost as if he planned for that to happen because that's right where he cuts it off. I can't wait for this album.
@@Pacuta_ same. it makes me cry SOOO much
That is also the best part about Tame Impala
@@TheSearches You're not wrong there!
lol same for me
I'm not native English speaker, and when I first listened to the "Borderline" and "The less I know the better" I didn't understand the lyrics but the tune and the beat have captivated me. I couldn't stop listening to it. Then I played the lyrics video and started realizing how deep the lyrics are and how well they go with the music.

I saw my Dad yesterday after 30 years. My daughter is 18 and met him. I forgave him but time goes by and you can't get it back. My daughter plays this song and told me the lyrics. Her mom left us and this is her way of healing. 😢
I'm so sorry that you and your daughter were abandoned by the mother and that so much time has passed with your parent. I hope that the both of you find peace and healing soon. ❤

FooeyMcgooey consciousness is created from our body, when you die, you disintegrate back to the earth, just like any other wild animal or insect. Suggesting there is an after life is suggesting that consciousness is entirely separate from our body.

I lost my Dad years ago. He was abusive and I hated him for years. I was angry at him for never admitting his mistakes and apologizing. I feel like I'm finally coming around. I haven't made it to the forgiveness part, but it's coming. Anyway, this song is tragic and beautiful and as Kevin did, I'm beginning to see my Dad was "just a man" and "had demons of his own." Thank you Kevin for helping me heal. ❤❤❤
My dad abandoned my mom & I, when Kenvin says " wanna tell you about time, wanna tell about my life" I ball out crying cause I never had a real dad & why would my dad abandoned us??? Am 37 years old that shit is still there. Stay strong!!!
"Wanna play you all my songs, and hear your voice sing along"
I am actually crying this is so beautiful
This song makes me want to read the UA-cam comments.
As do most songs
It's the first thing I always do when I listen to a song on UA-cam.
Same here

I do the same for no start to crying
It's not easy expressing such raw emotions about a loved one, especially when they've passed away. I know he misses him. I know the feeling Kevin. ❤

I'm lucky enough to still have my dad, but I know when he passes the first time I hear this song I'm gonna weep like a waterfall.
probably the first song I’ll listen to 🥺
Kevin, my grandpa suffered from a stroke today. He’s lost a lot of his memory, and is pretty confused. I just wanted to let you know that ever since I found your music last year, my life has been completely changed. With this song, and what has happened in my life today, Im able to really think of the amazing relationship I’ve had with my grandpa. I know you probably won’t see this, but I love your music, and can’t wait for the release of the album in February. To everyone out there, just remember "This could be the day that we push through
It could be the day that all our dreams come true” Just a bit of Apocalypse dreams for you there. I’ve experienced a lot recently, and from everyone else who has found Kevin’s music inspirational, just know that you can push through, no matter what you’ve faced
Cried. Needed that.
im so sorry for your grandpa!!🥺😭
I love you
Thank you.
tame impala never fails to make me feel nostalgia for something that hasn’t happened yet
edit: yes I know that this is about his dad passing away. im terribly sad that he’s goin thru this especially since his lyrics are pretty deep. it’s just that, when you listen to his music for the first time, the feeling you get, the chills, it makes me feel like smth unexplainable has happened. i can’t describe it but i hope u understand.
Nice.
valencianxelle this is about his dad passing away
Kevin can use music to activate emotion from a soul like my girlfriend uses anything from my past or present, oh let's not kid even the future, to bring up as topic for conversation as to test my spiritual lojack I have inside. Fully effective against evil and vibes of the negative.
valencianxelle nostalgic about your dad passing away?
Zachary Drewry sis what
His vocals in this song are crazzzyyy you can feel the pain and emotion he felt while recording
Amazingly gifted artist, his creative well never runs dry.
Delete this post from the universe before you curse us all
@@Zafocaine Most artists who create material do seem to eventually run out of ideas (good ones anyway), but there are those special few that keep producing quality stuff for years. Kevin Parker looks like one of those. He reminds me of another great musician, who also does so many things in the studio, and hasn't put a bad album out in his entire 25 year career- Beck. Want proof? Check out ""Stratosphere" off his new lp.
Look at what happened to kayne... :(
soooo happy he’s incorporated drums more heavily. i can hear it makes him happy ❣️
Hell yeah.. I read this comment and was like.. he usually doesn't have "heavy" drum patterns..

Damn bro I feel that. Forget friends, family always got your back no matter what
he's still here for now though, never too late friend.
When I hear this I can’t help but think of my dad who passed away from alcoholism. It just makes me feel a little bit better to know that someone else understands.
This is so beautiful, I almost forgot I was dead inside.
I hope you find your way back to life 👍
@@bubbazep01 Eventually
When I first heard this song.....I had the opinion that this is not among his best work. But man, why is it that everything this guy makes gets better and better with more listens? Kevin puts out the good stuff.
Surfmorworkless Dude same here
At first I didn’t really like this but then after a few listens I was like “what the fuck?”
This is yet another song that gets better the more you listen to it
Yep same... unfortunately thought it wasn’t that great but now I think it’s one of his best!
Such a good song.
The rawness and honesty make this song a punch to the gut in terms of feelz
Same here. Like WTF?!? Where was my mind dude. But this is literally my favorite and will always be my favorite. Its....just amazing.
he uses something called subliminals, u cant hear them but ur subconscious does and it manifests everything it hears. kevin puts great subliminals in his, for great things in our life and his music, we get addicted to it and keep coming back to it. be aware though, people put bad subs in their songs, but u can trust kevin.
I heard someone say this “sounded like currents leftovers”. I don’t know what the fuck they listened to, because this is already becoming one of my favorite Tame Impala songs. Incredible stuff. I may be a Tame Impala fanboy but I would love this song no matter who released it.
Yeah, forget him. I have been on board since August 2010, and love the new tunes just as much if not more (Borderline especially). This is perhaps the saddest TI song ever!
Kevin Scholfield I’m fairly new to Tame Impala I guess. I started listening to them in 2015 after hearing “Let it Happen” for the first time and absolutely loved it. Every album sounds perfect in its own way. This record already seems to be fitting in that category.

Lyrics...
[Part I]
Ever since I was a small boy
No one else compared to you, no way
I always thought heroes stay close
Whenever troubled times arose
I didn't know
Ain't always how it goes
Every single word you told me
I believed without a question, always
To save all of us, you told us both to trust
But now I know you only saved yourself
Did you think I'd never know?
Never wise up as I grow
And you could store an ocean in the holes
In any of the explanations that you gave
And while you still had time, you had a chance
But you decided to take all of your sorrys to the grave
Did you think I'd never know?
Never wise up as I grow
Did you hope I'd never doubt?
Never wonder, work it out?
[Part II]
You were runnin' for cover
Doin' like any other
Fallin' out with a lover
You didn't know that I'd suffer
What a thing to discover
There was time to recover
Move on with each other
Just a boy and a father
What I'd give for another
Everything that I have
Couldn't need this for long
Never speak of the time
That you left us alone
Me and Steve on our own
I wanna tell you 'bout the time
I wanna tell you 'bout my life
Wanna play you all my songs
Learn the words, sing along
(This time) Wanna tell you 'bout the time
(I know) I was in Abbey Road
Or the time that I had
Mick Jagger on the phone
I thought of you when we spoke
Wanna tell you 'bout the time
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
Wanna play you all my songs
Hear your voice sing along
I wanna say it's all right
You're just a man after all
And I know you have demons
I got some of my own
Think you passed them along
Wanna tell you 'bout the time
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
Wanna play you all my songs
And hear your voice sing along
THANK YOU
Thanks

Impala, I dont usually comment on songs even when the lyrics resonate a time in my life. I am hearing this for the first time today and I just wanted to appreciate the expression level of emotion you put into this production and lyrics. My father (and brother) passed away close to 6 years ago, and these lyrics are very resonating to my heart (literally feel it). This song is close to my heart now, man, and now so are you. I am thankful for experiencing your music now and onward.
