Poor guy. You shouldn't have to feel worthy to have a friend. You shouldn't have to proove worth to have someone. But I guess it worked in his favor. I just hope people talking to him now don't only talk to him now because he's a star
I was suicidal at one point in my life but this song,this whole album saved my life. I'm so thankful for finding this and for Kevin Parker making it🙏🏻🙏🏻
So relatable for people like me who suffer from social anxiety. It really describes the feeling you get when you are with your classmates or just a group of people but still feel lonely, weird and like an outsider because you have social anxiety and people think you are creepy because you aren't as social comfortable as the others..
yea, how i’m feeling right now. it feels like i have no connection with people. i’m so socially awkward and anxious. it sucks because i have no friends but then again when i do have a chance to make friends i chose not to. even tho it would be nice to have friends. i feel better off alone
@@jv5204 Same as me. I had some opportunities a year or two ago to make some friends that looking back I think I would've gotten on really well with. But I chose not to because I was so anxious and now I regret it because I've been incredibly lonely for about a year and a half. I don't know about you but I know I'll never be truly happy with no friends and being by myself.
Both Lonerism and Currents hold up so well for me. So glad I got to see Kevin and his live band at the last Boston Calling that was held inside the city at Government Center, summer 2014.
THISSSSS!!!!! IT'S LIKE THE LYRICS ARE SAD BUT THE BEAT AND MELODY AND DRUMS SOUND HAPPY AND SO YOURE JUST LEFT HERE FEELING LIKE JDKJDKSBSKDBEJHEJSNS YOU GET ME
I started a job in the fall of 2012 . met a man named Steven who worked along with me in the same department. we bonded. anyway, long story short, I showed him this song (album really) and he really enjoyed it. we would get super stoned and I would play it. he would sing aloud even. we worked in the same department for 8 years. I no longer work with him but I recently found out about his passing. this song will always remind me of him. Thanks Tame Impala. RIP Stevie
Damn I was real depressed when I used to blast this in my earphones in the past. I’m happier now for the first time in years finally, but that’s not to say that I forgot these lyrics that I used to mumble to my lonely self lol...
Ayo I just saw these replies, and I’ve continued to do great and now have more reasons to keep that state of mind. I really appreciate it, and I hope y’all are doing well too !
This dude knows drums, guitars and how to mix. Like.. to the point of I like everything he’s made. I tend to gravitate toward the lonery garage rock first few albums though.. shits tight.
felt that. my friend group stopped talking to me back in may even though they still hang out/ talk with each other. it hurts ngl. feels like they never cared. i always come back to this song.
Maybe they are going thru hard times too...you never know what others are dealing with. If they are true friends & when the smoke clears everyone will come back together 👍💜
Life keeps moving my friends. Everything will turn out alright ❤️ once the pandemic is over, find yourself a hobby or interest and immerse yourself in learning it. join a community around it so you can meet new people ☺️
Why Won’t They Talk To Me? : Lyrics Out of the 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 Whoops-a-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 Whoops-a-daisy I thought I was happy, oh 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? (Aaaah-aaaah) Ah, why won't they talk to me? But I don't even 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 and they'll be sorry 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?
In love with this track. Kevin’s almost whimper-like delivery on the chorus along with the laser shot synths that somehow remind me of tears/whining. It’s whiny in a way that services the song. Amazing.
When you realize why your "friend" who has pretty much never took the time to go out of her way to talk to you or do something for you like you try, has stood you up again
I've always had anxiety talking to people, even with family. Though I've significantly improved with being more present in conversations, that anxiety never goes away. This song easily takes me back to middle school, high school, and college. What I remember most was having this sense of envy that I couldn't converse as openly like most people. They seemed more relaxed and happy. I don't feel me like nearly as often now. Tame Impala captured that feeling well. Much appreciated 👍
I see circles of conversation and their many intersections I see how distant I am from those lovely patterns Idk how else to describe it... they really don't need me, just as I don't need them.. I really thought I was happy.. I'm just a loser, driven mad by my own ceaseless demons
For a while I thought this song was about being abandoned by people you were once close to and coping with that fact; hence “try to pretend that none of it happened.” I mean when you’re abandoned especially out of nowhere of course you’re going to think “why won’t they talk to me.” I guess I interpreted this song that way cause I’ve been there. I’ve been rejected, I’ve been ghosted, I’ve been abandoned. Turns out this song is about being a social outcast, which in of itself is righteous to feel sad about. Being lonely sucks, we are humans, social beings after all.
I never thought about the song that way but I found it so fascinating how you interpreted the song based on your experiences! I always thought about the song as just feeling so alone. And the lines “try to pretend none of it happened” as a bad day, which in itself reminded me I never grew up with friends.
I'm french and i don't get all the lyrics but only the music hits me deeply. Sometimes i feel gratefull to don't understand all the lyrics in order to get hit only by the melody..
Esta canción la escuchaba demasiado a mis 16 hasta los 19 pues como empecé a fumar demasiado me volví un poco rara y la gente con la que solo juntarme ya no vibrábamos igual y me apartaban, igualmente toda la preparatoria fue igual, ahora aprendí a estar sola y me encanta
I cant think of a single song Kevin has made that doesn't directly relate to me. this one in particular "I thought I was happy" and "why wont they talk to me" are two sentences that describe my life.
this song is my current life... at least I know someone understands. this song makes me feel better about the situation I'm In .Thanks Kevin. really, thanks for understanding even though you don't know who I am. Same situation, different people.
YOU AND KID CUDI need to collab. That would be the ultimate psychedelic/hiphop/groovy/trippy hum and angelic voice crossover. My god how amazing you two would be together
not sure if they are progressive rock, psychedelic rock, alternative rock, or nu classic rock; because they really have their own style sound that they are almost non categorizable. they are rockin and mellow at the same time
Damn, this song really hits you hard when your recent girlfriend tells you she’s been pretending to love you for 3 weeks and proceeds to break up over text and not talk to you.... my whole future has changed... I thought I was happy.
Man, what's up with some girls being so psychotic? It's like they dehumanize you in their minds and don't feel bad for absolutely destroying you emotionally. I had to comfort my best friend who was tripping balls on mushrooms when he got kicked out of his ex's house (he was visiting our state for vacation and staying with her) and broken up with over text (she convinced him he did something horribly wrong when he didn't) and he full-on sobbed/bawled for at least 2 hours, like scream-crying. I couldn't get a single complete sentence out of him for the whole time, it was honestly scary. I mean that's bad, but some of them take it way too far by trying to destroy their ex's entire life somehow. I've seen more than enough pictures of someone's apartment completely trashed up by their ex-girlfriend. Sometimes it genuinely makes me want to stay single forever.

ahh this song brings back memories back when i was going through a break up. felt the most loneliest ive ever been and got drunk and drove (which i shouldn't have done) around blasting song sobbing. this song brought me joy during those times
Makes me feel as if I were a lonely weirdo guy that stays aloof from his other classmates, because he's afraid they'll see how soft he really is in the inside.
Essa música resume muito o que eu passei durante algum tempo na adolescência e ainda passo às vezes na vida adulta, mas agora eu não ligo mais quando eles não querem falar comigo...
Me gusta, admiro lo que hace ésta banda ya que con su música te hace sentir algo diferente y único, recuerdo un gran episodio de depresión en mi vida , sin embargo cuando escuchaba estas canciones me transportaba tan lejos que olvidaba mi entorno, ahora todo está bien y la canción me sigue gustando 😍

lonerism has got to be one of my favorite albums of all time
hi ! here a new track from Argentina, some kind of electropop ua-cam.com/video/gKk8z1u-IhI/v-deo.html
My favorite is currents but lonerism is growing on me.
Both Lonerism and Currents hold up so well for me. So glad I got to see Kevin and his live band at the last Boston Calling that was held inside the city at Government Center, summer 2014.
Kevin predicted his own future in a single sentence : "One day i'll be a star and they'll be sorry"
Legend
I mean he was moderately famous at the time.
@@biglezmate3830 a little. But his career really popped off after Lonerism came out. And he went mainstream with Currents.
@@ilyarepin9490 yeah that's true.

This entire album made me feel better during high school, especially during the first half; very relatable. I can’t thank Kevin enough. ❤️
Good school starting...
word man. literally word.
Uhg yes. I discovered tame impala when I was in high school. I love how all these songs are just nostalgic but still tho
Thanks Kevin, thanks everybody to feel and share this sort of lovely and melancholic Mood. It's a Life point gravity

Why Won’t They Talk To Me? : Lyrics
Out of the 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
Whoops-a-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
Whoops-a-daisy
I thought I was happy, oh
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? (Aaaah-aaaah)
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
But I don't even 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 and they'll be sorry
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?

Beautiful indie Kevin
Dont copy and past the lyrics for google acting like u no the song. Poser

oh the sultry not oh this old tree lol....
In love with this track. Kevin’s almost whimper-like delivery on the chorus along with the laser shot synths that somehow remind me of tears/whining. It’s whiny in a way that services the song. Amazing.
Lonely old me, whoopsie daisy, thought I was happy...
AHHHHH WHYY WONT THEY TALK TO MEEEEEEEE
this hits hard every time I listen to it
the only thing i look forward to these days are tame impala uploads 😔✌️
Same bro😎
gud
I see you are a man of culture as well 😤👍
Same
This song explains the album cover
that's what I was thinking!
I love the drums on this song, simple but powerful, great sound and fills progressively get longer and more wild
“I thought I was happy” man.
One of the best songs ever written. This is “day in the life” to me. I love all of Kevin’s work but this is something man. Thanks.
When you realize why your "friend" who has pretty much never took the time to go out of her way to talk to you or do something for you like you try, has stood you up again
Cry every time. Play it again
the hard and borderline chaotic cymbals at the tail end of the song never fails to give me goosebumps
His vocal is legendary
Its spinning through your mind
Words can’t describe how much I love this song
I've always had anxiety talking to people, even with family. Though I've significantly improved with being more present in conversations, that anxiety never goes away.
This song easily takes me back to middle school, high school, and college. What I remember most was having this sense of envy that I couldn't converse as openly like most people. They seemed more relaxed and happy. I don't feel me like nearly as often now.
Tame Impala captured that feeling well. Much appreciated 👍
Definitely in my top 10 favorite Tame Impala songs
I see circles of conversation and their many intersections
I see how distant I am from those lovely patterns
Idk how else to describe it... they really don't need me, just as I don't need them.. I really thought I was happy.. I'm just a loser, driven mad by my own ceaseless demons
the deep vocal harmonies are to die for
Hits different 🤧🔥
AAAAAA MY FAV SONG FROM THIS ALBUM!
3:26 "One day I'll be a star they'll be sorry..."

And the lines “try to pretend none of it happened” as a bad day, which in itself reminded me I never grew up with friends.
that is the point of this whole album in a nutshell. you might not be wrong. it just happens. if you feel that way with many people, then look at aspd
0:50 is my favorite sound its so short too
comforting
i want a life where my ears just hear world as tame impala songs
when i share this song with somebody, they always ask: 0:00 “are those laser shots?”
Hopefully this one makes a return to the setlist next year too
You listen to this song once, then it's a repeat all over again.. love this loop ❤️
they won’t talk to us because we have our heads down. it’s hard but if you are alone you have to put yourself out there.
I'm french and i don't get all the lyrics but only the music hits me deeply. Sometimes i feel gratefull to don't understand all the lyrics in order to get hit only by the melody..
Big thanks to people that are commenting the lyrics always true heros

Currents is my favorite Tame Impala album but this is Kevin’s best song.
