If you've ever looked back at childhood and marveled at how much nicer it was back then, you might be struck with hiraeth .. a welsh word that doesn’t translate easily into English. It’s a faraway sickness to a faraway time or place you don’t know how to remember .. it’s your deep longing to where your spirit lives. . . . .
The roads are empty, black ice all around, snow, a deadly chill tonight. First fell in love w this song on a sweaty summer day. Now? Moods made, hands clasped over the cold side of my pillow, my heart was annihilated. Tame Impala soundtrack to life
I got in a big fight with my friend over its similarity to the riff from 'Apache (Jump On It)' by the Sugarhill Gang, then we just agreed that it's just too juicy to fight over haha
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.
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
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!
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
Yes. This dead hippie looks like Josh of the joshua a tree in Xanadu. This is a cult. Not music. Yob doesn't care or tool it seems about hippie doom genre.
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.
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 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.
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 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 RUclips 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❤️🥺
@@jonathanshamam9123 i've been listening to innerspeaker at least once a week since i found it and it still gives me goosebumbs down my spine everytime i hear this intro
I legitimately haven't, only heard Lonerism, Currents, and The Slow Rush, but listening to this now I think I know the next album I'm gonna be listening to.
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.
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. 🙌
Innerspeaker is surely about sophie , she was kev's high school love... melody said she is the girl who couldnt make up her mind... And in the less i know the better kev says "She said its not now or never wait ten years we'll be together" and thats exactly what happened 10 years and they are married ..the only thing thats bugging me is why she needed so many years...
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.
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 :/
My 12yr old taught me to cover/release my hands over my ears rapidly, (mimics intensity of the underwater feel & Kevin's genius dreamy soundscapes) to laugh @ our kookiness & be momentarily submerged w mommy on an auditory trip. She was 5 doing so to Nangs & this song, 7 yrs later, mind blown, memories to make, music is life
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.
This song is so beautifully sad. Loving someone you know you can’t be with but just appreciating them exsisting in your orbit.
Hey if you like this you should listen to The Doublejumps - The Garden, catchy psychedelia from New Zealand
People who had such an experience know this way too good.
If you've ever looked back at childhood and marveled at how much nicer it was back then, you might be struck with hiraeth .. a welsh word that doesn’t translate easily into English.

Definitely
Achingly relatable
This album is like a fine wine, every year is getting better.
A Half Full Glass of Wine...
Everythink cant be better
so true
It’s called nostalgia
Is that because less good stuff is coming out??? hmmm
This song has that exact psychedelic-period Beatles drum sound. Beautiful

10 years of innerspeaker and it still sounds brand new. Love this record
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.
Same goes for me
I still remember going to school and accidentally discovering the album (back in 2015) and since then the album is with me
My favourite Tame Impala song period this makes me happy and depressed at the same time.
Can we just talk about how genius tame impalas album covers are
Will be using this as a wallpaper
Ya pretty weird and artistic
Looks like my last mushroom trip...
It’s psychedelic and psychedelics are genius
Yea the covers make you think of all those good drugs.
It’s like every time you listen his music it just gets better

Beat it by MJ and New Person, Same Mistakes >>>
was my second song to learn on bass and i could play it over and over. never gets old!!
The lemon song by Led Zeppelin
"Rescue Me" by Fontella Bass is the correct answer to this question.

cool as shit ngl as little as it is
Could be a thread for a whole concept album.
One of the greatest ballads ever composed
When we’re happy we love the melody...
When were depressed we understand the lyrics :(
100%. Has the same affect as hey ya by outcast…
Like every Pink Floyd song
we love the melody when we're depressed too :}
And when we understand we feel both♥️

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

@@Strawbz3suse of synths, vocals, muted drums and guitar that arent as raw as older albums
Currents is kind of synth pop yeah, but The Slow Rush is a mix of both psychedelic pop from Lonerism and the synth pop from Currents so it’s great
