Tame Impala - The Less I Know The Better (Audio) 

Lyrics: *getting cucked* Instrumental: funky groovin

So weird how something can sound futuristic and vintage at the same time

"I was doing fine without you, till' I saw your eyes, turn away from mine." Realest line.

Songs like this make you feel timeless... like yesterday is today and today is yesterday...

1. Who’s Trevor? 2. Who’s Heather? 3. The less I know, the better?

"i can't really understand alot of what he's saying, but i like it. The less I know the better i guess" - my Grandpa 🤧

❤ Someone said they left together I ran out the door to get her She was holding hands with Trevor Not the greatest feeling ever Said, "Pull yourself together You should try your luck with Heather" Then I heard they slept together Oh, the less I know the better The less I know the better Oh, my love, can't you see yourself by my side? No surprise when you're on his shoulder like every night Oh, my love, can't you see that you're on my mind? Don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind? So goodbye She said, "It's not now or never Wait ten years, we'll be together" I said, "Better late than never Just don't make me wait forever" Don't make me wait forever Don't make me wait forever Oh, my love, can't you see yourself by my side? I don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind? I was doin' fine without you 'Til I saw your face, now I can't erase Givin' in to all his bullshit Is this what you want? is this who you are? I was doin' fine without you 'Til I saw your eyes turn away from mine Oh, sweet darling, where he wants you Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line" Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line" Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"

Ghosted by the woman I spoke to for two years. Decided, after 3 months of waiting that I deserved better, and so I’d fully focus on myself. Went for a 25 dollar epiphany burger, as my final lunch in this unholy coast. Had just spoke to an expert of the new field of business I’m in who said repeatedly how they knew it was my calling. The guys across the patio were complaining about their jobs as realtors. The couple behind me was quiet, but they were happy, they had a new born who giggled and cooed. It reminded me that purpose could also be fulfilling. I thought about how you’d be obsessing over this stupid eclipse like it’d somehow change your life. I used to love when you’d ramble about mysticism and the cosmos. Magnificent and infinite like the universe, that’s how I once felt about you. Whoever you’re with now doesn’t see you that way. This song started playing and it’s extremely groovy baseline reminded me that if I stopped thinking about you, I could appreciate masterful music like this. Like I once did.

"Blessed are the idiots, for they are happiest people on earth." This is why the less we know the better

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this song is super nostalgic for some reason?

Such a grand bass line. All is perfect with this. I haven't been amazed in a very long time. Bravo! Love it. Thank you for your talent

This song was shared with me from one of my stoner friends. What a hell of a guy, but this song has literally comforted me a lot during my whole life falling apart, then I listened to other songs from Tame Impala and safe to say, my favorite artist. Its truly amazing what music can do, thats why music will definitely be a forever thing.

Some guy is going to ride an actual hoverboard drinking cranberry juice listening to this song in 2050

Feeling nostalgic about something that never happened

This song makes me nostalgic of a relationship I never had... It feels weird and relaxing at the same time. What a fcking great song

It's crazy how accurate this song can be to so many relationships, some people just can't relate & the ones that do! Understand this guys heartache & frustration.

this song makes me feel like a main character

The bass guitar in this song is one of the most satisfying sounds I have ever heard

this song is emotionally touching on another level dude

This song makes me feel like i missed something in my life but i don't know what.

This song brings me back 5 minutes ago when I first discovered it...so nostalgic.

This song makes me feel like I’m roller skating in a dream

I loved Innerspeaker back in the days, even went to a concert in 2010. Then I totally forgot about Tame Impalas existence until a few days ago. It's great to discover all the newer albums now, and crazy how much the sound changed from psychedelic rock to something much more experimental. Love both.

This is my favourite song of all time. Thank you Kevin.

“She was holding hands with Trevor, not the greatest feeling ever” 🙁

Officially the best, "I'm too high to understand" song.

Life goes on, your “ significant other “ will be in someone else’s arms an be down with someone else. Just forget it an healing takes time remember that💯

"Don't make me wait forever". After meeting this girl on an instagram, we talked about meeting up but everytime I asked there was always some excuse. She told me she would reach out and let me know. Previously I would follow up on this request, but this time, I stepped back and waited. Several weeks had passed and she never did. After swallowing that hard pill I realized she wasn't going to. I felt it best to unfollow and stop messaging her. I feel better now because of it. Good things come to those who wait. Bad things come to those who wait too long

Can’t wait for this album to drop

This is the only song that makes me feel like I'm in the future and past at the same time

Parents: Why aren't you studying? Me:

I've worked at a place in Braga, Portugal, a little coffee shop with healthy foods and things like that. And this song was in the playlist. I've heard this every single day, several times a day for some months. I never knew the name of the song. But it was nice to hear. It was relaxing, specially at the end of a busy day, when I was cleaning everything to go home. It was back in 2018. All the stuff that happened to me after that... I've lost that job, I've worked in Lisbon, COVID came, lost my girlfriend, fly away to work in Switzerland, found love again, came back to Portugal.. and a few moments before writing this I've finally found the song thanks to an Instagram post about motorcycles, my most recent passion. The world is a strange place but we keep on struggling to survive! Thanks for reading this and keep your head up!

When your album hits platinum so you start posting all the audios except for LET IT HAPPEN 😤

"This song gets re-released on RU-vid" Me, who heard this song since the upload of the original music video and listening everyday non-stop for 5 years: holy shit new video i will listen to it

Found out tame Impala existed a few days ago and I can't stop listening. This is amazing

日本のスーパーマーケットではこの曲がよく流れてます

if You're still waiting for those "10 years to be together", you're my bro

Man, this song really resonates with me. I used to have a great teacher for 7 years (knew him for 10 years) and in person he's a really sociable guy people really want to be around, he never demanded respect or anything at all, people respected him because he knew what was right and wrong. He lived simply and enjoyed life to the fullest and always so positive about everything... He always stuck his way of teaching, instead of forcing information in your head he would just present the teachings to you and you would be the one responsible for taking it in. One time in his class I opened a playlist of songs I listen to (since he was super laid back and enjoyed the student's freedom), and this song happened to play. I was enjoying this song since it was the second or third time I was listening to it and bopping my head to it, out of nowhere when the chorus hit I will never forget the time he sang along since he wasn't really a music guy. I had the biggest smile anyone could ever imagine, a teacher relating to a student through music. It really hit... He sadly passed away last year in 23 September, 2020 from Diabetes. May your soul rest in peace you wonderful person... Edit: Everyone replying is so wonderful! I hope for anyone who is going through a bad time can get through it, it's only a matter of time until good times will come. :)

Will always love this song, loved it for years

This song and Artist have a special place in my heart gosh I’m so glad I’m alive at this point in time to hear such a wonderful timeless masterpiece 🥹

it hits different when she left you for someone who was “just a friend” last week

This is obviously in a top 3 best basslines ever created

Greatest Tame Impala song

This song reminds me of someone I like and a place that makes me feel comfortable.

This song hits hard, specially the last part, "I was doing fine without you, till I saw your face now I can’t erase". It’s a line that sticks with me when I think about a girl I used to talk to

IVE HEARD THIS A MILLION TIMES, BUT IT NEVER GETS OLD *masterpiece*

I really love the banjo and harps on this track

what a meaningful song. The lyrics tell a life story if you listen closely

This song makes me wanna miss someone that doesn’t deserve to be missed

This song never fails to get my shoulders vibing

This song is such a vibe!🖤

Anyone from 2025?

Someone said they left together I ran out the door to get her She was holding hands with Trevor Not the greatest feeling ever Said, "Pull yourself together You should try your luck with Heather" Then I heard they slept together Oh, the less I know the better The less I know the better Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side No surprise when you're on his shoulder like every night Oh my love, can't you see that you're on my mind Don't suppose we could convince your lover to change his mind So goodbye She said, "It's not now or never Wait ten years, we'll be together" I said, "Better late than never Just don't make me wait forever" Don't make me wait forever Don't make me wait forever Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side? I don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind I was doing fine without you 'Til I saw your face, now I can't erase Giving in to all his bullshit Is this what you want, is this who you are? I was doing fine without you 'Til I saw your eyes turn away from mine Oh, sweet darling, where he wants you Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line" Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line" Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"

No matter where you are, or how you feel. This will always make you feel like you're in a colorful 90's movie

This whole album is the soundtrack of the best lovestory of my life. I will always remember her with a sad smile but your music still brings me there all the times.

There is something truly magical about the bass in this song.

2:36 don't mind me, I'm just replaying this part over and over

I've cried to this too many times.. when will I be enough? 😢

Nothing beats a sick groovy killer bass line. I swear on the gods of groovy

me listening to this again acting it’s my first time: the less ik the better

I feel lucky for being able to appreciate this song, its perfect... The vibe is peak. Everything is peak when this song is on...

A modern song with retro feeling. ❤️

Why does this song feel like the aftertaste of eating a bag of skittles?

She was holding hands with Trevor not the greatest feeling ever:(((

That bassline is beyond epic.

The music just puts you in this trance of nostalgia but makes you think about the future Just crazy

"i was doing fine without you till i saw our face now i can't erase" i felt that.

The song we've all been waiting for to be posted.

Wow, I’m actually living out this song in my life now. Oh the joy.

I listened to this song when it had around 54K views. For a long time it had only around that. I used to think how come more people aren’t listening to this? But after that, within 2 years it really blew up. 54K really isn’t much compared to 188 million. I used to feel special because of that, but now don’t anymore. Makes me sad , but I’m really happy at the same time for TI too. He made it. 🎉 Lastly, I get very nostalgic every time I hear it. That time I was with the girl I thought was the one, now not anymore unfortunately. But the memories remain. The lyrics really fits the situation I went through. I honestly had the mindset of waiting for her to feel the same way for me again. And I waited for a long time, thought I’d wait forever. But with time I guess everything numbs down. Yeah. I hope everyone finds at least a couple of their happinesses. 🫐

I just love how you can enjoy this song in whatever mood you’re in. When I’m happy I mostly vibe to the bass and melody and when I’m sad, I vibe to the lyrics.

Letras Someone said they left together I ran out the door to get her She was holding hands with Trevor Not the greatest feeling ever Said, "Pull yourself together You should try your luck with Heather" Then I heard they slept together Oh, the less I know the better The less I know the better Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side No surprise when you're on his shoulder like every night Oh my love, can't you see that you're on my mind Don't suppose we could convince your lover to change his mind So goodbye She said, "It's not now or never Wait ten years, we'll be together" I said, "Better late than never Just don't make me wait forever" Don't make me wait forever Don't make me wait forever Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side? I don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind I was doing fine without you 'Til I saw your face, now I can't erase Giving in to all his bullshit Is this what you want, is this who you are? I was doing fine without you 'Til I saw your eyes turn away from mine Oh, sweet darling, where he wants you Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line" Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line" Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"

It never gets old... This song relax me and calms me down when I'm just not in the mood. It boost me up bk to myself

what a masterpiece !!!!

this is the prefect song. you can just listen to it without a care when youre happy, but when you are sad, you can listen deep into the lyrics

Anyone in 2100?

Thanks, Pablo. This band IS wonderful!!!!

Kinda just makes you want to be "light" on your feet. Great find. Again.🔥

This song makes me feel nostalgic for something I've never experienced. I can't explain it, I just feel it.

“One of the best songs”

it's crazy how music make us feel things we never even experienced before

Everyone talks about the bass but this guy's voice makes this song what it is.

This littrely the best song of tame impala...

such a sophisticated piece of music.

This song should be in gta5 man , like just driving and vibin

Science dictates that this bassline is impossible to get tired of.

One of them bassline’s I had to learn instantly!

my head fills out the "1-2"s and other rhythm heaven sounds

rats rats we are the rats celebrating yet another birthday bash

I heard it today first time on my life. It immediately got on my spotify list... 😊

I love cooking to this or anything it’s just cool vibes bro is a humble beast!

i know this song can be considered somewhat overused and overrated but it's just... like... it's so good. seriously. it's rich, sugary OOZE. i love it.

I love how when you hover over the progress bar, you can see that the most replayed is the beginning and the whole song doesn't have any big spikes because the entire song is just that good. The beginning is like the part of the rollercoaster that gives enough momentum for the entire ride

the intro *chef's kiss*

It's straight bangers from this song onwards in the album order

I might be a death metal fan, but holy jeez this is dope af.

Accidentally left auto play on then woke up to this. This is a good day

I could listen this all day

Listening to this in a coffee shop. ☕ thank you for this marvellous beat
