1:24 Geez it sounds like someone is crying in pain and terror at the moon coming up. It's not that special, come on. 2:21 I think that same person is currently dying here as well. 2:44 Seriously was that person mentally stable at the time?
This night hurts me so much, I have to tell my story. This was my first show of Tame Impala, I waited in line like you were supposed to in order to get your wristband for the nights viewing. I was so thrilled, I was number 13! I had loved all his music ever since his first self titled EP and my favorite song is Mind Mischief. I made conversations with those in the very front of the line and near me. When we eventually got to the last stop before they would let us on to the floor, I was so nervous, and so excited. Right before they let us go, the head of security said "Don't run! Pass it down the line!" They said if one person runs, then everyone else will start to run. Me being on the autistic spectrum, I always follow the rules and take things literally. When they let us through, I walked like I was supposed to. I had my eyes set on a certain space where I could rest my arms. Out of nowhere, this girl with short hair comes in and swoops in front of me and takes my spot. I try to be cool and say "You're going to do me like that?" She did not respond. I said "Excuse me, you cut me." She turned her head and looked down at my feeble hands sandwiched between her left elbow and the couple next to me resting on the railing. Two seconds pass and she returns to looking forward. It was like a scoff, like she was saying "thats enough room for you". I got really angry, I have a hard time communicating in the first place, and this girl wasn't responding. I started pushing her so I could get more room on the handlebar. In the process, my elbow accidentally brushes her breast. Now, I'm gay, I love what the gay community likes to call "bears". 300 lb hairy, husky, masculine men. That is what I'm attracted to. She screams "Hey!!" And the girl of the couple to the left of me says "Is he with you?!" I feel like the villain in this moment like I did something wrong. Even though it was an accident. The girl whose breast I accidentally brush with my elbow, calls security over. She is explaining something but her accent is so thick I can't understand it, and I feel like a terrible human being. Lastly, the security guard says "Do you want to take it higher?" She says no. In that moment, my intuition told me she was in the wrong. Why wouldn't she want to take it higher? I have regret that I did not take it higher. I would use the facts that I am number 13 on my wristband, she is number 25, and I am GAY. After the security guard leaves, I try to humanize the situation, I ask her questions like "What is your favorite song?" She was still being rude and disrespectful like "Are you fucking kidding me? I don't want my concert night to be ruined." She eventually answers some questions and opens up. She says that she is from Peru, and that she had seen Tame Impala 7 to 8 times, that she had been traveling the world following Kevin Parker. She said "im sorry sometimes I don't think sometimes." This was my FIRST concert. I don't like many bands, I don't get out much, I hate crowds, there is no other music that takes me away like that of Tame impala. The girl apart of the couple I noticed had switched sides with her boyfriend. I said "I'm sorry that you girlfriend felt uncomfortable." The Mexican boyfriend said "I think she was feeling bad for the girl more than anything." Eventually, there was a short African American girl behind me who asked "When Tame Impala comes on, do you mind if I switch with you?" She told me her name was Fiona. I said yes, you could because I am tall and I guess I am too nice. This was MONTHS ago and my mind continues to relive that night over and over. I am hurt, I felt like a villain, I felt ostracized even when I followed ALL THE RULES. Now I cannot listen to Tame Impala without thinking about that girl from Peru who cut me ruined my experience. I get angry, depressed, feel powerless, and I don't know how to move on from this.
Very cool but it's weird at 4:37, he replaced...or forgot the line "I know we promised we'd be doing this 'til we die" He uses the line from the final verse instead - "Now one of these is gonna be the last for all time".
