Tame Impala - It Is Not Meant to Be (Official Audio) 

This song is so beautifully sad. Loving someone you know you can’t be with but just appreciating them exsisting in your orbit.

it’s over, Kevin Parker has collected the four infinity albums

This album is like a fine wine, every year is getting better.

“Doesn’t like sand stuck on her feet or sitting around smoking weed” It’s Not Meant to Be

Let me act like I haven't heard this before.

It Is Not Meant To Be - Lyrics: I wanted her, I wanted her But she doesn't like the life that I lead She doesn't like the life that I lead Doesn't like sand stuck on her feet Or sitting around smoking weed I must seem more like a friend in need And I boast that it is meant to be But, in all honesty, I don't have a hope in hell I'm happy just to watch her move And in all honesty, I don't have a hope in hell I'm happy just to watch her move And she doesn't like the friends that I make Doesn't make friends for friendship's sake She just gets bored sitting by the lake Her soul won't surface and her heart won't ache And I boast that it is meant to be But, in all honesty, I don't have a hope in hell I'm happy just to watch her move And I thought they could cure his disease But, in all honesty, he didn't have a hope in hell Now we'll never see him move

This song has that exact psychedelic-period Beatles drum sound. Beautiful

Everything began here, long way since.

Can we just talk about how genius tame impalas album covers are

Possibly the greatest bass line of all time

Kevin Parker: How many daily uploads do you want? Fans: *yes*

When we’re happy we love the melody... When were depressed we understand the lyrics :(

My god this album is timeless

I remember I was driving with a friend in 2010 and he put this on. I said, "what is this, a lost Beatles album?" He said "Tame Impala." Been a fan ever since.

EVERYBODY GANGSTA’ TIL’ KEVIN DROPS INNERSPEAKER ONE MORE TIME

What I love most about this album is it came into my life unexpectedly and instantly began healing me at a time when I really needed it most.

This album will forever be a masterpiece.

This song has been in my heavy rotation lately, and here it suddenly reappears. And, oddly enough, i just found out that the cover image for this album was taken in the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina, which is where im from. Amazing how the universe intersects

10 years of innerspeaker and it still sounds brand new. Love this record

My favourite Tame Impala song period this makes me happy and depressed at the same time.

This sounds like the modern day beatles :)

It’s like every time you listen his music it just gets better

i love music that takes you on a psychedelic trip without the psychedelics

2010: she doesn’t like kevin’s life 2020: married

Still one of the best basslines I've ever heard

I remember hearing this back in 2011. I found it while I was candy flipping (on advice a friend gave me because I was severely depressed) I was browsing RU-vid and randomly found an upload and this was the track. I was blown away by it and it put me into a state of mind of sheer bliss. Even though it wasn’t exactly a song to help with my girl problems, I was just happy to watch “her move” and made me realize it wasn’t meant to be even if I tried to boast her love for me that wasn’t there. Love you Kevin Parker and will always be a fan. It’s like being a proud dad. Went from having 15k views total in YEARS to over a million in a week❤️🥺

One of the greatest ballads ever composed

just heard this in Marvel's Legion and since the first episode the show looked like it should have atleast one Tame Impala song. Can't explain how happy i was. The song is as underrated as the show.

The first time I listened to this album was when I took LSD for the first time, needless to say it was a beautiful life changing experience. This album hold’s many special memories for me.

What a good song to start the album with

This song reminds of simpler and good times. The nostalgia is real

Best album I've heard in the last 10 years!

I have a lot of memories with this song dating back to 2012. Innerspeaker will always be my favorite. It Is Not Meant to Be is the classic of the classic Tame Impala songs. All of the music is fantastic, but nothing beats how perfect this song is from beginning to end. Nothing has changed about my experience with this song since my first listen in 2012 and I'm still obsessed!

With music like this even the wildest impala can be tamed

This song many years ago was a comfort to me. Still is, ironically... It's like lowballing or saying how things can seem hopeless, which can be motivating if the feeling had gone unchecked or named.

The lyrics speak so well to me and the way I feel in life atm

Tame Impala is the best thing that happened to humanity!!

i remember my dad used to play this song all the time everywhere about 9 years ago and i've never heard it since, i was 5 back then and now i'm 14

this is what makes good songwriting the line "I don't have a hope in hell" can relate to so many things in life and the fact that he's referring to a girl in the song and thats the way he's trying to use it but you can interpret it any way you want is why I will forever love this man

I'm glad that this album saw me growing up for the last 10 years

Member hearing this album for the first time? I Member.

If they don't play Tame Impala at my funeral, I'm not coming.

One of Tame Impalas best songs! Long Live Kevin Parker!!

i feel so at peace when listening to this...respite is what we all need

If the title read lost Beatles recording, I would totally believe.

How is Kevin parker so good, he's like the iron man of music, a one man army, a psychedelic Jesus here as the second coming to save us with groove, if you ever get the chance to see him live take it, cant wait for him to release a new album, I need more music like it, I did just find a cool tune that kind of reminded me of tame impala, lonely gimmick - grumpy days, I like the guys other stuff as well, its like tame impala but more funky with some Hendrix guitar, worth a listen

The tame impala I accidentally stumbled upon on RU-vid years ago. It was love at first sight.

Reading the name of the song only brought a smile out of everything it meant and that just made it more nostalgic than it already was

I’m waiting on the day to see Tame Impala live

drags you in every time you listen to it, innerspeaker makes my brain melt

And I boasted it is meant to be but in all honesty.... damn, that hits hard rn...

this song gives me more life

one of the best debutes in rock history

PERFACT TIME. PERFACT SONG. IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE !!!

still remains my fave song by him

This song gave me beatles vibes and it's so good

The album that got me into Tame Impala 😊

This is one of my all-time favourites from Tame Impala, I love so much how they sounded here and in Lonerism. This was real psychedelic rock. Now they're electro pop :/

It is a privilege to coexist with Kevin, and many other wonderful artists.

Wait, It is Not Meant To Be? Never has been.

ayy, innerspeaker time

I've been a fan of this album since I was 13 and I'm damn near 22 this time shit crazy

"I''m happy just to watch her move" is my life motto haha

Tame impala is the only band who is living in the 70's vibe! Totally love it

Kevin just in time to remind that this exists while my mental health gets eaten away. Innerspeaker is the spice on top or the bay leaf, the cherry on top.

Best song on innerspraker no question

makes my heart drop

Always come back to this song, it's like where it all began for me

Innerspeaker remains the best album, in my opinion. 💜

This is the kind of music I'd be listening to on the best road trip ever. Destination? Anywhere.

legion and tame impala goes hard together

The heart swells when these sounds flow.

Innerspeaker, a masterpiece.

had this song stuck in my head and was convinced it was a beatles piece. so good. so timeless.

The real hidden gem of tame impala.

One of the best album openers to an amazing album

Such a good opening track for such a good album.

I really love this song!!! Thank you Tame Impala.

my ears are blessed

still one of my fav songs from their records!

This album has been on repeat more often for me in more recent weeks. Learning parts on guitar here n there. I've heard this album many times over, always been a favorite, but something just seems to really be clicking extra well with me this time around.

I can believe I have finally found the song from Legion Episode 4 - Chapter 12. After all these years I can still discover new music...

Psychedelic goodness!

This song is just amazing it's so dreamy😋

i really needed to hear this song. wow. crazy how life works

Lot of subtle drumming which I love as much as everything else

This whole album is extremely memorable, and contains some interesting writing choices. Certainly listening on repeat.

I first heard this song when I met my now ex girlfriend, she played it on one of our first car rides together, it didn’t really have any meaning to me at the time, just a strange sounding song that I’d never heard, but now that it’s over this song makes sense, it was almost like it predicted the future of us, and it brings back a strange nostalgia of the past when things were different.

Cannot wait to hear this album performed in full tonight

Here because of legion, love this song

this bass melody is haunting

This sounds sooo much like The Beatles

We are back to the 2010s yeah!

The song that started it all for me. 2010, heard in a CCS store while I was looking at skateboard gear, I IMMEDIATELY stopped when my ears caught wind of it and I listened the whole way through...no movement. Asked the clerk what it was. And I had this on my recommendations list on Amazon for cds but had payed it no mind...until that day. 🙌

superb

freddie mercury left us wanting more, please kevin take care of yourself so that you continue to make many people happy until your last breath.

These basslines get into your soul

If you love someone and they don't like you back, don't worry, you are not alone 🙂🙂

the way the guitar move across ur L & R earphones in verse 2. And the echoes in the word 'bored'.. brilliant producing here.

So happy to see you posting the official audio for Innerspeaker songs now. Lots of new fans that probably haven't checked it out yet will get introduced to it now! Innerspeaker really deserves it.
