I saw tame impala 2013 in Dallas. They opened up for the national and put on a phenomenal show. I remember they played this song and Kevin did a solo at the end and weaved it into Enders toi. It was PHENOMENAL. It was unfortunate because the crowd wasn’t into them and he could tell. I remember him saying that they will hurry up and end their set so that everyone could see the national. I left after they were done. They were outside loading up. I spoke with Kevin and got a picture with him. He’s seriously the nicest dude ever.
@@electraheart7745 it was sad! I was like wtf?!! But it made it easy to make my way to the front. He was so nice! He’s kinda quiet and shy but loved meeting his fans.
@@AhenobarbusHe about 4 years back, one night, I was debating wether to commit suicide or not. I was minutes away from taking my entire bottle of zoloft on the spot. After “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards” played, it shuffled to this song. This is the song that gave me the hope I needed in that moment. It sounds far-fetched, but I assure you, this song genuinely speaks to me in a way like no other song ever has.
I hate to sound as if I’m fishing for sympathy, but I really hope that others have felt the same way about a tame Impala song before. Or any song for that matter. Kevin Parker is a fucking legend. Thank you Kevin Parker.
im so glad the quarantine eventually pushed Kevin to do this and play live with himself, it sounds so much like the record and I feel like he wouldn't normally do this. I guess its a silver lining to this
its not playing live when you play each instrument separately and edit it all together afterwards, it obvuously sounds more raw but its not live. For something to be live it has to be something that could be experienced in person in reality. But this can only be produced with the help of movvvvvvvie magiiiiiiiiiiic

I used to listen to this song in high school when i got bullied, I was nice to here someone sing about rejection and knowing that there’s other people that have similar experiences
Finally he performs something that’s not from TSR or Currents! That was cool. I always tried to avoid listening to this cause I don’t need to be reminded that no one talks to me or atleast it feels like no one ever talks to me. It’s too emotional.
I feel like he's talking about how this mindset just leads to more loneliness and it's all in your head. Because the end has him obviously in denial and he says "I thought I was happy", he's causing his own loneliness
I don’t mind getting emotional, it’s nice to feel different things. Kevin’s music takes me to a place where I feel the pain of being alone, but I know that he feels that, and so many people that connect with his music also feel the way I do, and then I don’t feel so alone anymore.
@@iamhereblossom1588 Cognitive Behaviour Therapy was invented because a lot of our depression is just cyclical bad thoughts and arguments we make and cannot debate our way out of, and then accept as truths. Knowing how to deal with these thoughts went a long way with digging me and others out of depressive thought patterns, I recommend looking into it to anyone here.... I was suddenly relieved to find my depression was like a highly entrenched opinion or perspective, and there wasn't something wrong with me, I just needed to adjust the lighting/angel/perspective on my reality. okByE luv u

If you play any instruents, you know this, there's mostly 4 types being used, keyed, wind, percussion and stringed. If you learn one of each, you'll learn the other ones easily. Actually it could take years for all that, but yes.
@@gratata.enchilada They're both string instruments, one is just lower tones. They also have the same increments. I play both, they're pretty similar, never even had to learn how to play bass, since I play guitar..
This particular song, means a lot to me. Tame impala changed my life forever, i can´t express myself through comments but i feel so many feelings at the same time when listening to this song, thanks kevin one more time to make me feel alive!
This was the first Tame Impala song that I really connected with lyrically. (normally I dont realy care about lyrics tbh) What Kevin was singing about was EXACTLY how I felt in high school. Purposefully isolating myself from the world, then feeling that loneliness sloooooowly creep in. No one to blame but myself.
With no disrespect to KP, it's funny how the version I play in my head (even when I haven't heard the song in possibly a year or two, etc) sounds better than even the best produced version published by TI. I hum the various parts, or otherwise sing the lyrics, to various songs from time to time. I'm not always great with recalling or parsing lyrics either, but even there, the versions I make are far better, not just for myself, but everyone. (Eg, I thought it was "bury your thoughts and fall asleep" in the hymn-like song Goodbye by Apparat)
I listened to Lonerism a lot during college because every song *spoke* to me during those hard times. I've always felt like an outcast at school, so it felt comforting knowing that someone as cool as Kevin felt this way too. Fast forward to The Slow Rush, i love it how not only did he experiment with his music production--but with his general view of life as well. Back then, I honestly felt like a lonely piece of shit who clinged onto the past for nostalgia's sake. So to hear Kevin say "it might be time to face it, you ain't as cool as you used to be" felt like a reality check. It's like you can see the growth in each album and it feels so authentically relatable. Thanks for posting this song again, I feel a sense of relief knowing that I no longer look to others for validation.
Im honestly In your same position right now when you felt like a piece of shit i just found Kevins lonerism album and I’m in eighth grade i hope things get better soon
@@Chayse9134 you got this mate! Good choice of music, your starting well :)... check out the band “pond” they are all friends of Kevin and even Kevin played on their first two albums. All the dudes that play with Kevin have their own thing going too and it’s great music. Cheers and keep your head up!
What a time to "discover" Tame Impala's music, hopefully sometime soon you'll be able to watch them live. You'll be blown away and you'll want all of your friends to experience it with you! Be strong young man, be strong!! 👊🏽
Saw him perform in San Jose and he performed all of his old albums. Best concert I've been my whole life. 10x better live. Saw mac demarco play under the same venue before he blew up. Take me back 😭
@@audgess dude the Mac demarco concert was on another level. I even got lucky enough to shake his hand after the show! He fucking signed a medal album cover I bought that night fucking crazy night man. Also mac demarco seemed like he was so gone after the show lol probably on shrooms
@@audgess dude I just remembered he had all his friends up on stage and they were all fucked up lol some of them started to get naked on stage. When mac demarco crowd surfed someone took his shoe!!!! Thanks for reminding me man pre corona was the best.
This song on its own has gotten me through so much in my life. This was so touching to me and I really hope Kevin can put this on the set list someday. God he just gets better 🥺
2:37 When Kevin was a kid, his dad gifted him this Casio. He recently posted various pics on his Instagram showing how he had always kept it in his studio for almost 20 years. Was really great to see him use it for the video.

The commanding general of the salvation army stated that planning for what he described as a "daring" humanitarian aid mission is well underway. While the general did not disclose a date, time, nor a location, he did say that the mission's intended objective is to supply Kevin Parker with some much-needed sets of shoes and socks... then stating, quote, "We're giving Kevin a predetermined number of days to surrender and go buy some shoes and socks at his own accord. Failure to do so by the deadline will leave the salvation army no choice but to aid Kevin ourselves... and we will be doing it "our way"" end quote...
You can tell Kevin is someone that really likes his beats. Love seeing him on drums - he seems really into it, like he's genuinely and confident about the rhythm and beats he's creating. Love seeing that in an artist's work - it's inspiring
Bruh I've been telling people that Kevin makes all of his songs and in the studio, it's him playing not a band. They always deny it. I'm glad this video exists to prove to them that Kevin is a multi-instrumentist.
YES YES YES! I missed the good ol’ psych rock Parker. Reconsider returning to this sound. There is no music that captures the feeling of post party walk in drizzly rain at dawn as much as your Lonerism/Innerspeaker phase
This version is the most epic video in tame impala career (for me), mixes the feelings of "lonerism" , the magical individual creativity of Kevin, the most fresh Sounds (the kind of slow rush) and his bareefoots. I really love this man and his music!
@@SugarW1thC0ffee i refer to the clean and modern sounds of TSR. I am not talkin about wich album its more o less complex. Anyway, its purely subjetive... My opinion its not the absolute truth. (Sorry if i have grammatical errors, english its not my native language) kisses for everyone!
@@fechelokurahur oh no worries man, I understand what you mean. TSR definitely has the cleanest, modern sound, but I hope you know where I was coming from with describing the sound of his older stuff
as a former drummer ill always appreciate kevins attention to detail in not just every part of his songs but the drums. he mentions in a video about how he cares a lot about the drums. they are so fun to play along with.
You probably get this a lot but if I never discovered tame impala I would be so depressed like tame impala is the source of my happiness and I’m not even kidding about that
tame impala is my favorite artist of all time. kevin is a musical wizard. i’m so blessed to be living in the same time as these beautiful songs. my son will for sure know who tame is! ❤️
Probably Cringe, but I can't express how much Kevin's music did for me going through a really rough patch in my life. New city, new school, I was 13 and I had been going through some really rough internal struggles and shit with my family. The songs off this album really helped me feel like I wasn't alone and that people out there understood that feeling of loneliness and that melancholic feeling some people carry when they're finding themselves. I can hear this song and feel happy and sad all at once. And that goes for so much of Tame Impala's music. I want to cry and Dance, all at the same time. In short, thank you Kevin for making the music you have. Never stop. You're a genius and you have made music that transcends.
Not a cringe! I have the same with his music! 🥰 I grew up with them in my 20’ - his lyrics were so relatable and I am glad that I could grow up with his music, becuase every new album was reflecting my personal growth. Thanks Kevin!
Finally, all members of Tame Impala playing together at once!
Period
Dude, Tame Impala is only Kevin! 😏
I heard there were some conflicts within the Kevins. Glad they worked their issues out and put their egos aside to perform together.
@@Neilhouse5 no shit sherlock hahaha
finally
there’s something very calming about him sitting on the floor playing the synth alone. it reminds me of being a little kid.
Is Schroeder your real name?
As far as I remember it's the synth that Kevin's dad gave him. That's how he started to play music. That's why.
synthesizers are just more fun on the floor man
sit in a closet w a dim colored light, throw on headphones if you can with your synth, and go crazy cause it’s an experience
i see my child
His singing has gotten so much better over the years.

I used to listen to this song in high school when i got bullied, I was nice to here someone sing about rejection and knowing that there’s other people that have similar experiences
One of the most underrated Tame Songs.
Black Pill Crusader my personal favourite from lonerism and possibly my favourite of all of his songs
Finally he performs something that’s not from TSR or Currents! That was cool. I always tried to avoid listening to this cause I don’t need to be reminded that no one talks to me or atleast it feels like no one ever talks to me. It’s too emotional.
I just got introduced to tame, I feel your post. Hey I’m talking to you. Later
I feel like he's talking about how this mindset just leads to more loneliness and it's all in your head. Because the end has him obviously in denial and he says "I thought I was happy", he's causing his own loneliness
I don’t mind getting emotional, it’s nice to feel different things. Kevin’s music takes me to a place where I feel the pain of being alone, but I know that he feels that, and so many people that connect with his music also feel the way I do, and then I don’t feel so alone anymore.
@@iamhereblossom1588 Cognitive Behaviour Therapy was invented because a lot of our depression is just cyclical bad thoughts and arguments we make and cannot debate our way out of, and then accept as truths. Knowing how to deal with these thoughts went a long way with digging me and others out of depressive thought patterns, I recommend looking into it to anyone here.... I was suddenly relieved to find my depression was like a highly entrenched opinion or perspective, and there wasn't something wrong with me, I just needed to adjust the lighting/angel/perspective on my reality. okByE luv u
You promote newer music. That’s how the game works friend.
Is there a Kevin Parker behind the camera, too? One of the universe's greatest mysteries.
and guess who edited the video?
How can be there in the side of the camara and in the side of the set at the same time?
Am i also Kevin?
@@beatrizsilva2360 haha 😂
Schrodingers Kevin lol
I am 16, I started listening to Tame Impala when I was 13 and it still hits the same, and I know it will hit the same for the rest of my life
Getting Bluetooth Mmmmmmmmmmm
No lmao, just don't be a internet addict junkie
@@blackboxbs8642 You sound like someone who should remember the old adage "those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". Maybe you should take a look at your own Internet habits before you start shaming others
Only gets better
@@K̰ḭr̰ḭn̰5731 true that's what i am saying. i have experienced life outside as well
: What instruments do you play?
Kevin: Yes
MUMU
If you play any instruents, you know this, there's mostly 4 types being used, keyed, wind, percussion and stringed. If you learn one of each, you'll learn the other ones easily. Actually it could take years for all that, but yes.
@@wayzUX bass and guitar aren’t really similar tho.
@@gratata.enchilada They're both string instruments, one is just lower tones. They also have the same increments. I play both, they're pretty similar, never even had to learn how to play bass, since I play guitar..
@@cocaineshawwwwty That's what I'm saying too :D
this is just Kevin Parker showing off his skills as a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer
Simultaneously
Answer to who is tame impala
Aka a musician
and maybe a video editor as well. and a good idea thinker-upper

This particular song, means a lot to me. Tame impala changed my life forever, i can´t express myself through comments but i feel so many feelings at the same time when listening to this song, thanks kevin one more time to make me feel alive!
This was the first Tame Impala song that I really connected with lyrically. (normally I dont realy care about lyrics tbh)
What Kevin was singing about was EXACTLY how I felt in high school. Purposefully isolating myself from the world, then feeling that loneliness sloooooowly creep in. No one to blame but myself.
If only multiple Keven Parkers really existed, this world would be a better place
they already exist, in most of tame impala songs you can hear them. 👀
@Tincho except real.
I disagree we only need one.
@Tincho anytime
;)
as kev posts all the songs again i’m feeling nostalgic but imagine how nostalgic he feels n how far he’s come since then
Nah he peaked pretty early lol
Ahh, it's great to see every member of the band reunited in one video ♥️
😂 Thats exactly how I imagine the recording sessions look like
his vocals are improving so much. i'm proud of you kevins
Every single day i listen to this song, it's like a drug that I never want to let go of
Felt tht
With no disrespect to KP, it's funny how the version I play in my head (even when I haven't heard the song in possibly a year or two, etc) sounds better than even the best produced version published by TI. I hum the various parts, or otherwise sing the lyrics, to various songs from time to time. I'm not always great with recalling or parsing lyrics either, but even there, the versions I make are far better, not just for myself, but everyone. (Eg, I thought it was "bury your thoughts and fall asleep" in the hymn-like song Goodbye by Apparat)
Wwwwwhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyy wooooonnt theyyyy talllkkkkkk toooo meeeeeeeeeee
Do you still listen to this song everyday?
I listened to Lonerism a lot during college because every song *spoke* to me during those hard times. I've always felt like an outcast at school, so it felt comforting knowing that someone as cool as Kevin felt this way too.
Fast forward to The Slow Rush, i love it how not only did he experiment with his music production--but with his general view of life as well. Back then, I honestly felt like a lonely piece of shit who clinged onto the past for nostalgia's sake. So to hear Kevin say "it might be time to face it, you ain't as cool as you used to be" felt like a reality check. It's like you can see the growth in each album and it feels so authentically relatable. Thanks for posting this song again, I feel a sense of relief knowing that I no longer look to others for validation.
thanks for sharing, i went through the same times too. nice videos btw!
Im honestly In your same position right now when you felt like a piece of shit i just found Kevins lonerism album and I’m in eighth grade i hope things get better soon
@@Chayse9134 you got this mate! Good choice of music, your starting well :)... check out the band “pond” they are all friends of Kevin and even Kevin played on their first two albums. All the dudes that play with Kevin have their own thing going too and it’s great music. Cheers and keep your head up!
I felt like I'm always falling behind in life. There's just things I can't control
What a time to "discover" Tame Impala's music, hopefully sometime soon you'll be able to watch them live. You'll be blown away and you'll want all of your friends to experience it with you! Be strong young man, be strong!! 👊🏽
Cannot describe how this song gives me the feeling of all around, pure happiness. Like how, bro, how is this just a song? This is something else.
It is! It touches the soul, makes it fly and its so awesome!!!
It’s the solemn genius introverts anthem
this really illustrates the layers and intricacies that make up this mans music
never thought i’d say this but kevin playing the drums is the most attractive thing ever LMFAO
facts lmao
Right I haven't really ever seen him play drums so I think this is a first and I must say. Wow
I literally started blushing & almost fell off my chair
"One day I'll be a star and they'll be sorry" .
You did it Kevin ❤️❤️❤️
You can do it💓
Saw him perform in San Jose and he performed all of his old albums. Best concert I've been my whole life. 10x better live. Saw mac demarco play under the same venue before he blew up. Take me back 😭
Damn man. Lucky asf, no joke.
I bet that Mac concert was mind-blowing!
@@audgess dude the Mac demarco concert was on another level. I even got lucky enough to shake his hand after the show! He fucking signed a medal album cover I bought that night fucking crazy night man. Also mac demarco seemed like he was so gone after the show lol probably on shrooms
@@audgess dude I just remembered he had all his friends up on stage and they were all fucked up lol some of them started to get naked on stage. When mac demarco crowd surfed someone took his shoe!!!! Thanks for reminding me man pre corona was the best.
@@audgess I also remember a small Asian lady stuck in a mosh pit crying but I kept partying! Good times

Hahaha
More like Kurt Cobain
yup Lithium Tun tun.tunn..n.
Obv that's a Nirvana line. But yeah the watchers have already heard my monologue on this, I'm sure
I don't mind repeating myself when I'm teaching kids math or whatever. But you adults out here really need to get it together tbh
Tame impala is in fact a band, conformed by Kevin, Kevin Parker, K. Parker and Kev (short for Kevin)
Don't forget the drummer Vin Pak, and acoustic guitar Evin Parkker.
Producer K. Evin parkinson
"Kevin, what instrument do you play?"
Kevin: "yes."
I can’t put in words how much this song means for me, it brought me a lot of comfort when I needed the most
This is the best version of the song. Drums slap harder. Basically everything does. Oh and the acoustic guitar at the end?? Insane.
This song on its own has gotten me through so much in my life. This was so touching to me and I really hope Kevin can put this on the set list someday. God he just gets better 🥺
2:37 When Kevin was a kid, his dad gifted him this Casio. He recently posted various pics on his Instagram showing how he had always kept it in his studio for almost 20 years. Was really great to see him use it for the video.
I'm crying
Underrated comment
@@condexlarsrock why?
Casio... Like... A calculator?
@@louisasmiles yeah, they also make synths
I like this version of Borderline
Lmfaooooo
borderline 6.0
cant stop laughing at this xD
underrated comment.
Lol this might as well be a meme at this point
0:25 When the drums started playing I got chills.
It's beautiful! It's perfect! 😊😊😊😊😊
Even Kevin is 6 feet apart from himself
except for the backup singer Kevin
🤣🤣
@@fugaziiiiiiiii Middle backup Kev is the real problem here.
He's always been particularly wilful, that one.
😭😭😭😭
There’s a party in his head and no one is invited.
[Verse]
Out of this zone, trying to see
I'm so alone, nothing for me
I guess I'll go home, try to be sane
Try to pretend, none of it happened
Oh, this old tree, lonely old me
Whoopsie-daisy, I thought I was happy, oh
Out of this zone, now that I see
I don't need them and they don't need me
I guess I'll go home, try to be sane
Try to pretend, none of it happened
Destined to be, lonely old me
Whoopsie-daisy, I thought I was happy, oh
[Chorus]
Ah, why won't they talk to me? (I thought I was happy)
Ah, why won't they talk to me? (I thought I was happy)
Ah, why won't they talk to me? (I thought I was happy)
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
[Bridge]
But I don't really care about it anyway
I wouldn't listen to a word any of them say
They just talk about themselves all day
One day I'll be a star, they'll be sorry
[Chorus]
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
Thanks bro.
Needed that much thanks
It's odd to hear the ending with out it seamlessly going straight into "only go backwards"
Haha same
Try playing this song and then play “that’s all for everyone” !!! It’s crazy!!!
I listen on vinyl so I wouldn't know
😂😂😂😂I literally hallucinated the first four drum beats of that song right when this video ended
This song is beautiful. It makes me feel like i ain’t really that alone. Someone out there is sitting similarly, feeling the same.
This made me so incredibly happy
Me too
same, kind of picked my mood up for the first time in a week or two
I was able to allow my suicidal thoughts dissolve with this :)
Made all of us happy god bless kevin
A song about wanting people who ignore you to interact with you made you happy?
Kevin Parker. Has lots of shirts and trousers. Doesn't have lots of shoes.
Lmaoooo
It’s Australian culture B)
....and SUCH BEAUTIFUL TALENTED TOES YOU HAVE, KEVIN 💜
The commanding general of the salvation army stated that planning for what he described as a "daring" humanitarian aid mission is well underway. While the general did not disclose a date, time, nor a location, he did say that the mission's intended objective is to supply Kevin Parker with some much-needed sets of shoes and socks... then stating, quote, "We're giving Kevin a predetermined number of days to surrender and go buy some shoes and socks at his own accord. Failure to do so by the deadline will leave the salvation army no choice but to aid Kevin ourselves... and we will be doing it "our way"" end quote...
Most of kevin is wearing shoes tho😐
I love Kevin Parker so much I don’t even want to make a smart witty comment, I just am so thankful he exists.
Me too
@@mrstealyorefrigerator2588 💜💚💜💚
You can tell Kevin is someone that really likes his beats. Love seeing him on drums - he seems really into it, like he's genuinely and confident about the rhythm and beats he's creating. Love seeing that in an artist's work - it's inspiring
Bruh I've been telling people that Kevin makes all of his songs and in the studio, it's him playing not a band. They always deny it. I'm glad this video exists to prove to them that Kevin is a multi-instrumentist.
Hahah me too, here’s the proof
@@drinkmoreagua8984 for real
He just bring his band when live
One of Tame Impala’s most underrated songs
His autobiography is literally the songs he makes
Ohhhhh, just like most musos.
Wow...
@@lefunk22 not anymore 😂
*skirt skirt*
This version is so much better than the album version, love to see Kevin always improving and coming back to old ideas
YES YES YES! I missed the good ol’ psych rock Parker. Reconsider returning to this sound. There is no music that captures the feeling of post party walk in drizzly rain at dawn as much as your Lonerism/Innerspeaker phase
I really miss that phase. :(
he probs will go back, but i guess he's just exploring atm. Can't blame him, gotta keep it fresh for ur own motivation
forreal! I know lots of ppl like his style rn but personally after those two classics the rest was not my cup of tea
Couldn’t agree more.
@@Beemdog I like he’s change of genres because they all sound like Kevin but are different in their respect. I like the freshness
This really puts into perspective how much work is put into every song. So many layers! Also so nice to see kev on the drums.
This version is the most epic video in tame impala career (for me), mixes the feelings of "lonerism" , the magical individual creativity of Kevin, the most fresh Sounds (the kind of slow rush) and his bareefoots. I really love this man and his music!
What you mean, “the kind of slow rush” honestly TSR doesn’t have the complexity and melting pot of sounds like Innerspeaker and Lonerism had
@@SugarW1thC0ffee i refer to the clean and modern sounds of TSR. I am not talkin about wich album its more o less complex. Anyway, its purely subjetive... My opinion its not the absolute truth. (Sorry if i have grammatical errors, english its not my native language) kisses for everyone!
@@fechelokurahur oh no worries man, I understand what you mean. TSR definitely has the cleanest, modern sound, but I hope you know where I was coming from with describing the sound of his older stuff
@@SugarW1thC0ffee yes. In fact,lonerism is my favourite album. I agree completely with you.
He's incredible
This guy has the talent every musician wants to have..such an incredible talent
as a former drummer ill always appreciate kevins attention to detail in not just every part of his songs but the drums. he mentions in a video about how he cares a lot about the drums. they are so fun to play along with.
And you see here how ocd he is. exactly the same bassdrum and break pathern as the recorded song!!
This is exactly the type of music video this song deserves
You probably get this a lot but if I never discovered tame impala I would be so depressed like tame impala is the source of my happiness and I’m not even kidding about that
Absolute facts. I genuinely feel like I wouldn’t be the person I am today without his influence
You are not alone!
They got me through some rough times I love them so much
@Jack Castellitto i think she did, and found tame impala mate
Yes 🙌🏻❤️✌🏻
Every Tame Impala song is the best Tame Impala song to ever exist.
tame impala is my favorite artist of all time. kevin is a musical wizard. i’m so blessed to be living in the same time as these beautiful songs. my son will for sure know who tame is! ❤️

Probably Cringe, but I can't express how much Kevin's music did for me going through a really rough patch in my life. New city, new school, I was 13 and I had been going through some really rough internal struggles and shit with my family. The songs off this album really helped me feel like I wasn't alone and that people out there understood that feeling of loneliness and that melancholic feeling some people carry when they're finding themselves. I can hear this song and feel happy and sad all at once. And that goes for so much of Tame Impala's music. I want to cry and Dance, all at the same time. In short, thank you Kevin for making the music you have. Never stop. You're a genius and you have made music that transcends.
Not a cringe! I have the same with his music! 🥰 I grew up with them in my 20’ - his lyrics were so relatable and I am glad that I could grow up with his music, becuase every new album was reflecting my personal growth. Thanks Kevin!
you'll be just fine. melancholia is a burden worth it's weight in perspective.
i feel this exact same way, his music speaks out to me more than any other artist
That's not cringe, man!
cringe warning is cringe
OMG!!!!!!!!!! Voy a llorar 😭 se me erizo la piel!!!!😭😭 esto es lo mejor de mi día!!!🥺 GRACIAS TAME IMPALA POR EXISTIR!!!!!!
