    Totally subjective, yes. I have been listening to and playing music since the 70s. I listen to everything from Mozart to Motorhead and enjoy each in different ways. The whole idea that music is somehow better because one must stay within the bounds of rules is without merit. Yes, much of popular music is simple, easy to play and yet it strikes a chord and, at times, lasts.
    It's been a while since a band like Tame Impala has surfaced. My gut is telling me they are here to stay.

    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

    Does anyone know the exact make and model of the keyboard Jay is playing? Just curious.
    Very cool to hear a different version of this song, I dig it. They are my most favorite band of all-time ever to infinity and beyond, haha.
