I LOVE the lyrics of that line of "Elephant": "He pulled the mirrors off his cadillac, 'cause he doesn't like it lookin' like he looks back." One of my favorite lyrics of all time for its wordplay.
“Sun’s Coming Up” has recently been my favorite song off the record, and I played it for my dad the other day in the car. When the second part of the song hit with the guitar I mentioned it sounded like Hendrix’s “Star Spangled Banner”. my dad goes “well he played it at sunrise, maybe that’s where ‘suns coming up’ comes from” Blew my fucking mind. Not sure if that were KP’s intentions but man, that would be a crazy connection.
This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard of kevin. He’s so revealing and honest and it feels really special to be let in to a lot of his life around the album.
I resonate with this album more than any other album EVER. if my life, childhood, feelings, emotions, even my soul had a sound it would be this album. I never really felt understood by anyone and hell i didn't even understand myself until this album jus quite literally explained what I've felt and still do feel as a person, i felt alone until I discovered Lonerism, which is quiet poetic if you ask me. Have a good one, all you Loners of the world
The album, came in time/era where ppl have never felt more alone/disconnected. It TRULY is, a modern classic/gem. Genius really. I think that´s why this album means so much to a lot of ppl. Because you can relate to it so well. But there is also hopefulness, oddly within the album.
Favourite album period. Why Won't They Talk To Me? has touched me unlike any song I've ever heard, or could even imagine. Word for word relatability, it means more to me than I ever thought a song could. And it's not even actually my favourite song off the album. It's so inspiring as a teenager to look up to someone, seeing them as a musical god, but still knowing they've gone through the same things you're going through.
I bought lonerism the day it came out and music to walk home by was instantly my favourite and remains to be one of my most listened to tame song. Just so perfect in every way
I was a freshman in college when it came out, I remember preordering the album, and on release day it came in the mail and I just cranked it in my dorm room in amazement. I suffered from social anxiety intensely and mostly kept to myself, and Lonerism definitely helped me get though that time. Innerspeaker did too in high school but this album took that concept to another level.
Makes so much sense why and how I feel the way I do listening to his music. I too was very alone growing up and still am. Like zero support/love from family. Kevin’s music reflected exactly as he described, being so alone that the music is his company. Also the underlying tone of hopefulness.
I missed this guy! And im so thirsty for new album. Can't fucking wait! Seems it might be released in the fall? I also love how humble he is staying. Class act. On top of that being tremendously talented. This is the one musician that keeps me on my toes. So curious what he's done with the new album.
@@brokendreams4562 Loving it, I say let´s go, he´s bold and he wants to try different things, he earns my respect even more because of that reason. Great artists don´t repeat themselves, I don´t recall who said that right now, but I think there is truth in that :) So, I can´t wait for the album! Different/change is good. Doesn't have to be bad thing. It prob will be, if it´s not what you enjoy. I understand some ppl not liking it. But I also seen some very lazy comments about it. That will happen obviously, ppl like different things. And we heard 2 songs, from an entire album. Anything can be on that record, that´s the point. I would hold on with judgement until you heard the entire thing.
Let me tell you. That when I became Tame fan back in 2010. The majority of ppl I knew that heard it. Ruled out Kevin completely. Said this would be over in few years" Well that's almost decade now ;) Lonerism was his break through. But Currents opened up for bigger crowds. You're welcome! :)
Actually TI been quite big seens Currents IMO. It took the 3rd spot on the UK list or something? So not that recent. But I see what you mean. It might also be because ppl are hyped for the upcoming album. It's like one of the most exciting albums to be released this year. So you hear the buzz.
He’s so friendly and attentive towards the interviewer, I hate when artists come on an interview and act ‘too important’ for the interviewer and give rubbish, shallow answers to otherwise interesting questions.
I would love that, but I think that will be hard. Not because he isn´t good enough, but because Lonerism was like one of those rare gems that come along, once in awhile. Im very excited curious to see what he has done with the new album. But at the same time, trying to come to terms with that I might just not like it. Which happens, sometimes with artists/bands you like :)
Came from the future... it isn't better than Lonerism, it's probably his weakest work too, but it's still an amazing album. It's concept is so reflexive and its style is very nostalgic.
Great interview. The other interviews on youtube are awful, and you can tell that Kevin hated them. So this was a nice break from the past. Hope he does more.
really, I felt the same. after all this while it just felt like he'd become distant but when he says the album has this hopefulness all of the connection he's built with his fans came to life
Rafael Gomes same here, started listening back to it after I heard this a month or so ago and I haven’t been able to put it down since. My new favorite Tame Impala album and in my top 10 all time
Well, people are constantly changing and shedding their past selves so in a way "it was him" but not so much anymore. I can say the same about myself. I'm not the same person that I was when this album came out and changed my life.

Mind Mischief has been my personal theme song for years
Top song last year on Spotify was Mind Mischief
second top song was Mind Mischief Live
Lonerism defined my teens and connected me with friends, I owe alot to this album. It gives me hope and helps me cope.
thank you for sharing that
@@christopherrusch I know my friends and many of you feel the same way about it. Such a great album. Aging so well too.
same dude, met my girlfriend of 6 years from this album (at a tame impala concert)
@@jamesspencer7421 lol
Josh me to m8 but made more of a loner no joke lol
Kevin seems so comfortable and the interviewer seems so excited, I love it
Music to walk home by is so good
It's so good in a way that you don't even notice how good it is, if that makes sense?
“One day I’ll be a star, they’ll be sorry”
🤘
I screamed when he said that music to walk home by was his favorite song of the album. Always been my fucking favorite
That part where he says he would dedicate Lonerism to his struggling teenage self while Sun's Coming Up plays... damn I broke a tear, so relatable.

Lonerism took me through high school
So I guess it might be one of the best times in your life.

Took me through the hard times in Middle school

Wish i went to school with tame fans.
This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard of kevin. He’s so revealing and honest and it feels really special to be let in to a lot of his life around the album.
Lonerism is going to be one of those albums talked about for a long time. It is such a genius, complex - yet simple masterpiece.
I resonate with this album more than any other album EVER. if my life, childhood, feelings, emotions, even my soul had a sound it would be this album.

I just can't wait for his new album.

I've never seen an album that connects so well with how it feels to be okay with being lonely

There's a party going on in my head

This has to be the most informative interview with kevin parker. I actually learned a lot. cheers man
Music to walk home by is my favorite song by him. Wish they still played it live
Lonerism changed my life
I bought lonerism the day it came out and music to walk home by was instantly my favourite and remains to be one of my most listened to tame song. Just so perfect in every way
This is the most comfortable I've ever seen Kevin in an interview you can tell the interviewer actually cares
I was a freshman in college when it came out, I remember preordering the album, and on release day it came in the mail and I just cranked it in my dorm room in amazement.

Im glad you can find comfort in his music. Music is great healing. I hope things turn around for you.
I want to find another album like this.. it’s a masterpiece.
OR, Kevin creating an space rock, record, would you imagine?
@@mazorki8917 Exactly, I really don't want Kevin to go back to any sound he had before. But I would love if he was this adventurous again
I missed this guy! And im so thirsty for new album. Can't fucking wait! Seems it might be released in the fall? I also love how humble he is staying. Class act.

Broken Dreams i’ve heard kev say that he’d be dissappointed if it isn’t out b4 summer but you know how he is
@washedinsilver1 do you like the new tame music??? It´s growing on me, its different.

Hey, fall here
The new album is not great :(
Thank you for uploading this! It’s nice to hear from Kev. It’s also pretty crazy how big tame impala has gotten recently.

@@washedinsilver1 Did you hear that rumour about Cam? What do you think?? Also, seems Kev is getting married :)
@@delete5420 Sweet!
This interview is amazing. Kevin's music is part of the soundtrack to my life.
I want to have Kevin featured on a audio/producing/mixing podcast like Hanging out with Audiophiles by Jamie Lidell. Fun interview!
Listen to Rick Rubin's interview with him. Friggin awesome!
Kevin Parker is a genius.
no other way to put it
He’s so friendly and attentive towards the interviewer, I hate when artists come on an interview and act ‘too important’ for the interviewer and give rubbish, shallow answers to otherwise interesting questions.
14:57
I just broke down crying hearing that
This interview sounds like it would be on GTA V
One of my all time favorite albums. He’s a legend already
I listen to most of the album everyday for a few years now. I feel it gets better with time
Siento que necesitaba esta entrevista
I got a serious man crush for Kevin, Nick, and all members of Tame Impala and Pond
This album gives me special feelings.
If this interview was a video interview it would’ve been perfectttt I just wanna see my manz face 😔
Great post... love this album. Never brush your teeth and you'll never feel alone. Can't wait to see what KP does next.
lonerism hits me deep
very relatable, its holds such beauty and signifcants to me
What a nice interview
What a great interview
Innerspeaker and Lonerism pokes a lot of hidden emotions inside me 😭
such a great interview
Finally an interesting interview, cheers
I hope the next album is good as Lonerism. His best album so far
I would love that, but I think that will be hard. Not because he isn´t good enough, but because Lonerism was like one of those rare gems that come along, once in awhile. Im very excited curious to see what he has done with the new album. But at the same time, trying to come to terms with that I might just not like it.

BANG THAT WAS ME
Great great interview!
This is so crazy because Lonersim has been in heavy rotation for about the past 2 weeks and thats the first thing they bring upt
he's the coolest.
Great interview. The other interviews on youtube are awful, and you can tell that Kevin hated them. So this was a nice break from the past. Hope he does more.
his music is indescribable
Great interview, nice to hear from kevin again :)

Saurav Dn yeah I agree! So glad we are getting a new album this year!
This interview makes me look to "Lonerism" in a different way now.
Rafael Gomes same here, started listening back to it after I heard this a month or so ago and I haven’t been able to put it down since. My new favorite Tame Impala album and in my top 10 all time
Great interview 👍🏻
🦋💗.....proof that being authentic and vulnerable makes you relatable.... long shelf life on this 🎶
KEVIN❤️❤️❤️
I fucking admire this guy
wow what an inspiration
"The best art comes from a dark place"
-me
This album defines my college years.
Aww Kev 😢♥️
Always my idol
epic album!!
The riff for elephant always reminds me of this riff off a song called ride by cathedral. Check it out.
I hope one day I can collaborate with Kevin
Such a Fremantle guy
Wtf his voice is more deep now
Accent seems less strong too
Wtf you guys just can't evolve with the Singer.
Everything is changing and there's nothing you can do - Tame impala.
@@kaustubha7371 what?
@@kaustubha7371 my world is turning pages...
@@magiusicgician4102 While I am just sitting here
lonerism helped me embrace my loneliness
“That was me”. I wonder if him saying that he was almost implying that he doesn’t feel himself anymore.
Well, people are constantly changing and shedding their past selves so in a way "it was him" but not so much anymore. I can say the same about myself. I'm not the same person that I was when this album came out and changed my life.
2:30 Anyone know where I can find this interview?
any link for apple music?
Kevin is da god
ah, okay
cool
really?
Ohahakay, thats goo- Thats good to hear
what's the song that's trailing off at 11:36? sounds like the end of a song that had just been playing but i don't recognize it from the album...
Jared Rosenberg Tame Impala Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin. It was a bonus track for Lonerism
@@woahdatsgoodsquishy8936 i never knew about this track, thanks!
And it’s an amazing track

Thats not him talking
What do you mean
que dijo ?
Habla de lonerism
Jajajjaaa
Son 10 preguntas relacionadas con Lonerism, y cómo ha cambiado su vida desde aquel 2012 hasta ahora.
Fils laik güi onli go bacgüards
he speaks like an automaton
Try to pretend, none of it happened
hopefully we get another lonerism/innerspeaker album next. disappointed in his pop culture productions hes doing.
Best to consider that, that might just not happen. Seems he was doing something with underwater production. Thats all I seen so far.
Currents is one of the best albums made
