There’s such a distinct essence to Tame Impala’s music that I don’t think I’ve ever heard in any other artist. I’ve heard real passion, emotion, love, excitement, fun, etc in all sorts of music from other artists but the way Kevin’s music makes me feel is beyond indescribable
There’s a song I really love; it’s by Tame Impala, called Let It Happen. I hope I’m not just following a trend, but I discovered this song back when it was popular in edits of TV series, especially Breaking Bad. You know, those "Who is Heisenberg?" kind of edits, or even Better Call Saul. Regardless, the song became well-known, especially toward the end, where it gives off this nostalgic vibe. I’ll admit, I didn’t pay too much attention to the lyrics - or the beat, for that matter. Everything in this song fits so perfectly. It’s about 7 minutes long in the official audio, but when I play it, time flies by. At first, I liked the part used in the edits, but over time, I started to enjoy a section that happens somewhere around the 3:30 mark. That’s when the instrumental kicks in and lasts for a while. I love this part because it sounds kind of scratched, you know? But it’s subtle - the first glitches are just quick beats that are easy to miss. As it goes on, though, those glitches keep building until the song is just that repeated, broken beat. I know there must be something wrong with me - who in their right mind would like that part? Some people would probably find it irritating and skip it altogether. But not me. I enjoy listening to it because it feels like some kind of metaphor for life. That instrumental section? It’s like life itself - everything flows smoothly, in sync, until the first bad things happen, the first stumbles. You try to stay on track, but the stumbles keep piling up, showing up again and again. Eventually, you find yourself in a really bad place, falling over and over, hurting yourself... and you just don’t feel like getting up anymore. But then the song picks up its rhythm again, not by erasing the glitches, but by playing along with them. It’s like the message is: we shouldn’t ignore our failures or traumas - instead, we should overcome them and integrate them into who we are. “Our scars from the past shape who we are today.” That’s a beautiful line I heard in some movie. This part of the song moves me in a way I can’t explain. After a violin-like sound joins the glitching beat, the music flows back into its original rhythm - as if it’s finally overcome the glitches. Maybe it’s a little cheesy or cliché, but that’s exactly how I feel about this song.
Dieser Song ist seit dem Release des Albums mein absoluter Lieblingssong. Natürlich die nicht gekürzte Version. Ich danke dem Universum dass ich damals Tame Impala kennengelernt habe. ❤ ich kann es nicht in worte fassen
besides the name already suggests it`s about strong deep fundamental things and also this video somehow gives an educated taste to it even further like most other things about this. Really so mesmerizing, hypnotizing, as it would also be as one man would sense it (GOT reference pun). In one word relaxing. As pensive, as one came back like AI
