I heard in a youtube video somewhere that the instrumental part simulates being a loner. You're trying your hardest to listen in on the conversation, be a part of it, but you can't make out any words, you can't engage in whatever is happening, and eventually revert back to inside your head as the music overpowers the conversation.
Hard for me to pick one single favorite from Lonerism. I think it would have to be Apocalypse Dreams, but this is amazing, as are all the other tracks. Each one is a masterpiece.
@@adan5439 A lot of Tame Impala is "simple" if you think this solo is simple cause it's just 2 notes. But Kevin's approach of songwriting and his use of effects and to create the feelings he does is not simple whatsoever.
Love how he sings about finally talking to a person when he gets to the of the song and then as the track finishes it loops back to the start, implying he'll never end up talking to the person. Amazing song.
I don't think I've heard another song that fades in with lyrics, goes instrumental for the vast majority, starts to fade out, then lyrics come back in. I can't express how much I love this track. Kevin is a genius.
It makes me sad. He never gets to the end. So he keeps on lying. I used to listen to this on loop when i hadn't gotten my mental health issues addressed.
Man I love how the vocals go on for a bit and then the rest of the song he just lets the instruments breathe. Especially that riff at the end. Freaking tops production.
Tame Impala's hidden masterpiece. "I guess I'll go and tell you just as soon as I get to the end of this song." *song repeats to the beginning in the outro*
There's the lyrics «I guess I'll go and tell you just as soon as I Get to the end of this song» but the song is just a loop since it starts over at the end and thus never ends, proving that he is indeed lying. Masterpiece.
This song is a perfect testament to feeling isolated from people. Not knowing how you can express yourself and and lying as a pathetic form of self-preservation. It's a simultaneously ugly and beautiful song, truly one of the best songs I've heard in the last 20 years and imo the best song on Lonerism. The power behind it makes me cry and makes my brain swirl with so many thoughts.
Kevin- this whole album honestly saved my life nearly a decade ago. I overdosed on pills. Something about this album defines where I was at following that. It's hard to describe what i mean. but very few albums are on that level of influence in my life. these days it's all singles too, but this one felt impactful then and still takes me back to a lost year. made less sad with time, perspective, and your music.
Why is it every time I hear a T.I. song for the first time I'm like " ok I can vibe to this" but then by the 3rd or 4th time I actually listen to it I realize how mind blowingly magical it is. This it just amazing to me.
Lyrics All I give are little clues Maybe one day I'll get through There is nothing I can do I'll just keep on lying to you I only need to say its true Your poor little heart already knew But there is nothing you can do I'll just keep on lying to you Should my cover ever blow Would you ever let it go? There is something you should know But hell if I'd ever let it show So here I am, trying to be strong It was noon, now my shadow's long I guess I'll go and tell you just as soon as I Get to the end of this song To the end of this song, to the end of this song To the end of this song, to the end of this song The curse has won again Soon I'll be alone Take all you can But please understand It never really was love All I give are little clues Maybe one day I'll get through But there is nothing you can do I'll just keep on lying to you
I've been listening to this *NONSTOP*. When I'm cycling, when I'm on my phone, when I'm on my pc, when I'm on my laptop, *EVERYWHERE, EVERYTIME*. Loops listened: 40~
Never get lost in the outside noise. Whenever you feel lost, come back to yourself, the most important voice, the one that matters in the end is yours.
Every time I saw her eyes I got lost in this transe like lover from a past life felt so homie and warm so seeing her again and then listening to this legend of an albumm
I've been listening to this song on loop for the last couple days. It's truly hypnotic. The second half reminds me of the dancing scenes in Last night in Soho for some reason.
This song is just pure brilliance it has so much going on from amazing vocals to phenomenal musicianship, I love the way the background fuzz of being in a club has been incorporated. It ticks so many boxes on so many levels
This has that 60s British cocktail lounge type vibe to it. Although, a good number of people are also tripping on LSD, while conducting a Fashion show.
One of my favorite memories listening to this song while tripping and starting to get worried for a sec hearing all those voices, then that sick guitar riff comes in and brings everything back to normal.
One of TI's best songs. Lonerism is often cited as peak TI, and that's hard to argue against. The album cranks out song after song of great tunes (of course, that's true of all the albums).
My favorite song from Tame Impala. Please, appreciate it. This is the type of song that only appears once in two decades. Hope someday it gets the love it deserves.
True. This song has grew on me these past years. It has been on my playlists since long ago. But there's something, something so unique about this song. The more I hear the more I like it. And the crazy thing is, Kevin has lots of songs that are really good and make me feel things. He is definitely one of the best artists of all time.
another great song I just discovered on pandora. luv these guy much and hope to see I. concert one day. I'm 60 years old but their music makes me feel youthful again.
I had a relationship like this, I didn't like the girl and I felt guilty, but unable to be honest. No other song could describe it like Keep on Lying does
LYRICS 🥀🖤🥀 All I give are little clues Maybe, one day, I'll get through There is nothing I can do I'll just keep on lying to you I only need to say it's true Your poor little heart already knew But there is nothing you can do I'll just keep on lying to you [Verse] Should my cover ever blow Would you ever let it go?

well everyone has their own opinion. But honestly i think that speaks to the quality of the album if every song is considered to be an underrated classic

Broooo
sheesh
Dude really good observation
@@nugsandslugs4177 not entirely mine btw, can't remember where I heard it tho
@@thecursedone6004 I said that first, you got it from me.
Most underrated song of all time. Idk, why people don’t talk about this one that much.
That’s alright it’s our hidden gem
All time ? Don't exaggerating pls. Song is nice btw
True its definitely in the top 5. That one and Beverly Laurel
when it released my friends and i had this one on repeat!!
this one is actually my favorite across entire discography :)
that guitar solo is a vibe
1:45
@@tommyhofer1176 amen to that solo brother, it doesn't get talked enough!
Yeah... it's not really a solo. It really just an extended lick. I love this song. But really, there isn't any solo in this.
The core of Lonerism. Legendary track, masterpiece and certainly underrated. Lonerism is one of the best music creations of the 10's.
Hehe, "the tens".
Lonerism is one of the best music creations in a lot longer timespan than just the 10s.
Soon I'll be alone
For me it sounds like a Beatles song
Hard for me to pick one single favorite from Lonerism. I think it would have to be Apocalypse Dreams, but this is amazing, as are all the other tracks. Each one is a masterpiece.
The best Tame Impala guitar solo ever
ON GOTHAM
it's only 2 notes, not that it doesn't sound good it's just simple asf
@@adan5439 it's not two notes but it's not complicated, that doesn't mean it's not good song writing
@@adan5439 A lot of Tame Impala is "simple" if you think this solo is simple cause it's just 2 notes. But Kevin's approach of songwriting and his use of effects and to create the feelings he does is not simple whatsoever.
He expresses so much with those few narsty notes...it's like in 'Boredom' by the Buzzcocks, the restraint serves the song.
Hypnotic. Catchy. Psychedelic. Perfection.
Well said
@@Nubsty Nicholas Cage
Love how he sings about finally talking to a person when he gets to the of the song and then as the track finishes it loops back to the start, implying he'll never end up talking to the person. Amazing song.

Light My Fire is the best analog imo
@@randomname2805 I saw a youtube clip of a live performance and they did a full 'Light my fire' tribute as part of it. It was awesome
The guitar at the end of this song made me believe in a higher power
It makes me sad. He never gets to the end. So he keeps on lying. I used to listen to this on loop when i hadn't gotten my mental health issues addressed.
YES I JUST KEPT LOOPING IT I thought I was the only one omg 😢
omg this.
Still working on that we see.....
Man I love how the vocals go on for a bit and then the rest of the song he just lets the instruments breathe. Especially that riff at the end. Freaking tops production.
Tame Impala's hidden masterpiece.
"I guess I'll go and tell you just as soon as I get to the end of this song."
*song repeats to the beginning in the outro*
and how before the song can end it has to meander through all these beautiful psychedelic passages, taking the longest route to telling her...
@@sale9667 yeahh and also the way he repeated "to the end of this song" clearly stalling. I relate too much : |
Yes im glad someone noticed
Exactly, you get it
There's the lyrics «I guess I'll go and tell you just as soon as I
Get to the end of this song» but the song is just a loop since it starts over at the end and thus never ends, proving that he is indeed lying.

Listened to this song for 4 months straight on loop when I first discovered this. Most favorite Tame Impala song.
This used to be my call tone when I was in college

3 years straight
same

This song has such a nice 60s style to it

This is easily a top 5 tame impala song.
I agree! Apocalypse Dreams and Runway Houses City Clouds top 5 too!
Those 3 for sure. Let it Happen, MTWHB, Alter Ego, NTHHSFHBAWCC also contenders
@@p0mpiliusNot Alter Ego though
Why is it every time I hear a T.I. song for the first time I'm like " ok I can vibe to this" but then by the 3rd or 4th time I actually listen to it I realize how mind blowingly magical it is. This it just amazing to me.
It grows on you!
Lyrics
All I give are little clues
Maybe one day I'll get through
There is nothing I can do
I'll just keep on lying to you
I only need to say its true
Your poor little heart already knew
But there is nothing you can do
I'll just keep on lying to you
Should my cover ever blow
Would you ever let it go?
There is something you should know
But hell if I'd ever let it show
So here I am, trying to be strong
It was noon, now my shadow's long
I guess I'll go and tell you just as soon as I
Get to the end of this song
To the end of this song, to the end of this song
To the end of this song, to the end of this song
The curse has won again
Soon I'll be alone
Take all you can
But please understand
It never really was love
All I give are little clues
Maybe one day I'll get through
But there is nothing you can do
I'll just keep on lying to you
Thank you
ouch these lyrics x.x
This song made me want to cry the first time I listened to it.
this song is magical. I will never get tired of it
It is and awesome
That’s what makes The more better
Agreed
In my opinion, the best Tame Impala song. I've been listening to this song for years, and everytime I hear it again feels so fresh.
Same feeling. Lo mismo. The best tame Impala song ever
Kevin created something truly timeless with this one
Achieving this timeless is legendary in itself
All the best elements are stirred well in this song.
One of my all time favorites by Kevin. It encapsulates psychedelia at its finest.
This is just SOOO GOOD. It's totally my favorite song from the album, that guitar is mesmerizing. **chef's kiss**
This is by Far the best tame impala song ever
Yeah I agree. This or “the less ik the better “
Agreed
Emma Pivac one more hour, runway house city clouds, eventually, & mind mischief!!
Look up Disciples
Yess mind mischief is amazing
Song starts with a fade and ends with another, you can say it's a loop. Pretty awesome
I think that’s the point of the song because in the lyrics he says I will till you (the truth) when this song ends. And the song never ends
@@RobRamirez456 ik, the loop just states that he'll keep on lying. The take on this song is pretty creative
danny martinez Kevin is a genius
Ahnaf Tahmid Ali he really is I never payed attention that that until I read the lyrics
@@RobRamirez456 I kinda faced a similar situation of the lyrics so i just had to inspect it more lol
I've been listening to this *NONSTOP*. When I'm cycling, when I'm on my phone, when I'm on my pc, when I'm on my laptop, *EVERYWHERE, EVERYTIME*.
Loops listened: 40~
update: 60 loops
same!! on a loop for days
The song technically never stops, so he’ll keep on lying to that person...
He was going to tell us at the end of the song. But the loop started again.
Didn’t even think about that, how it only fades in and out implying that it never ends... the production on the whole album is genius
No way really 😱
Lying to us
Lying to himself
Never get lost in the outside noise. Whenever you feel lost, come back to yourself, the most important voice, the one that matters in the end is yours.
Ótimo comentário, também sempre tive esse ponto de vista seu! 👍
That synth makes me feel better everytime
When it melts
Fun fact: This is the song that never ends
The good thing is that it goes on and on my friend 🙂
100th like
There is something incredible in this song and this echo effect reminds me of early Pink Floyd. What a tune !
Syd Barret was here
@@autodidactismo26 no doubt :)
Amazing, timeless song. Reminds me of The Doors.
First song I heard from Tame Impala and I haven't stopped since then!!!
One of the greatests songs of all times. Masterpiece.
still cannot believe this one found it’s way back onto the setlist!!!
This song deserves an amazing music video
Best song on lonerism, the second half is amazing with headphones on
Beyond profound. this song is pure emotions. masterpiece

Best song of this album!!
This has that 60s British cocktail lounge type vibe to it. Although, a good number of people are also tripping on LSD, while conducting a Fashion show.
Yes- 60s party is what I always attribute to this song
Look up "Toby Dammit" that's literally what you're describing!
And Beach Boys vibes. Listen to All I Wanna Do by The Beach Boys 🤙
One of my favorite memories listening to this song while tripping and starting to get worried for a sec hearing all those voices, then that sick guitar riff comes in and brings everything back to normal.
i have this album on vinyl and its was the greatest investment of my life
I can listen to this song over and over
the lyrics, the sound, the ambience, and it’s psychedelic af!!!
Absolutely my favorite on this album
This song hits different when you've lived through it
😔
A masterpiece. One of the best songs ever made.
Thank you Kevin.

Modern classic, so perfectly mesmerizing. You just get lost in the mood.
See you guys tomorrow when Kev uploads Elephant lol
Lonerism is such a masterpiece, I have it almost on repeat. Don’t know about other versions, but the vinyl one is unreal
I’d say this is one of my favourite songs from Tame Impala.

love it especially the end
I have always and will always ADORE this song. One of my absolute favorites!!
This whole album is 🔥 ..
Im on day 19 of having this on repeat 💯
another great song I just discovered on pandora. luv these guy much and hope to see I. concert one day. I'm 60 years old but their music makes me feel youthful again.
You should listen to a band called The Doublejumps if you like Tame Impala :)
65 today in November 23,lol
I wish I could relive the moment of listening to this song for the first time
Master piece. Nothing more to say
1:34 bro that part always gets me "please understand that it never really was love" 💔

TAME FOR LIFE✨🙏🏾
His best song. Such an amazing trip.
I had a relationship like this, I didn't like the girl and I felt guilty, but unable to be honest.
No other song could describe it like Keep on Lying does
Yea same man
it be like that sometimes, you live and you learn
same that's why this song is so thoughtful to me
This song represents my mind when I'm supposed to be part of a conversation
4:20, they are just rippin it, love it
He*
Love this song with all my heart. Wish more people appreciated it
i felt a lot of power in my soul when i had this album on my phone back in that time
The usage of Dorian mode in this song is pure perfectionnnn ✨
Favorite in Lonerism.
I love the whole song in and out, the vocals, the whole instrumental, and 4:20 - 4:52... Still gives me eargasms
I didnt realise that the best part of the song has the beginning at 420! AWESOME :p
This song is criminally underrated! This deserves more views imo
My fav from this album ...real 60 and 70 's style
Best album by far
this song is so good and so underrated like wow
MOST UNDERRATED SONG ON LONERISM !!
👏👏👏👏
Yess
Best tame Impala song ever
It's not underrated. Just read the comments. The word underrated is overrated.
Kevin parker has to be considered one of the best of all time.
This album is killer
Probably the most under rated of their songs
his best song, and he's got s lot of great ones
if you like this you might like the doublejumps :)
I sure hope he plays it on the tour
The sheer genius of this song is vastly underappreciated
LYRICS 🥀🖤🥀
All I give are little clues
Maybe, one day, I'll get through
There is nothing I can do
I'll just keep on lying to you
I only need to say it's true
Your poor little heart already knew
But there is nothing you can do
I'll just keep on lying to you
[Verse]
Should my cover ever blow
Would you ever let it go?
There is something you should know
But hell if I'd ever let it show
So here I am, trying to be strong
It was noon, now my shadow's long
I guess I'll go and tell you just as soon
As I get to the end of this song
To the end of this song
To the end of this song
To the end of this song
To the end of this song
[Bridge]
The curse has won again
Soon I'll be alone
Take all you can
Please understand,
That it never really was love
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
All I give are little clues
Maybe one day I'll get through
There is nothing you could do
I'll just keep on lying to you
