[@srsgoblin]

I'm homeless as of a few weeks ago, due to a suicide attempt and the fallout that's happened in my life since. This song is straight up making me weep. Because I'm still here. Strictly speaking, I'm still on track. I guess I really needed to hear this today. Please keep rocking, Kevin. Edit: I'm back living with my folks again so I'm safe, at least. Thanks for the well wishing, KZbin friends. Edit 2: a little over a year later and I'm right on track. Decent job, place of my own even if it's a bit dumpy. No joke, all the well wishing from this comment helped me a lot and I owe youtube comments section a debt of gratitude.

seing Nick back on Bass again is so beautiful. But I heard that Cam Avery (the former Bassist) might have split from the live band, so it would be great if Nick becomes the new bassist permanently.

[@slevin6544]

Man I never realized how much Kevins voice has improved live since lonerism days. Also this song should be the theme song of 2020 lol

[@TStormGuy]

I'd say he's using some kind of autotune.. barely noticable, but I think it's there. Same as his Why Won't You Talk To Me 2020 version.

[@fanieldox]

@@TStormGuy Nah even his other live versions recorded early this year have been amazing vocally! And not even hitting the notes, his tone and control has gotten insanely better compared to previous years

[@maximthefox]

@@TStormGuy There was an accoustic version of On Track with just Kevin on the guitar and with no vocal processing whatsoever, and he was perfect. I think people mistake effects like chorus and reverb for pitch correction and as soon as an artist like Kevin gives a good performance people are quick to cry out pitch correction. He's just a good singer and he's said he's been getting vocal coaching in the past few years after realising it wouldn't effect the style of his voice.

[@OHHnoYOUdidntMAN]

@@TStormGuy Yeah it's the TC Helicon autotune pedal. He uses it lightly though.

[@jettgoforth6453]

Even without effects, go back and listen to live versions of Lonerism. He used to place the vowels for his high notes in his nose, which is very common and makes hitting G’s and up a lot easier, but has a very “tinny” and nasally sound. Kevin’s got that shit completely locked in his chest now and it sounds noticeably better.

[@thebreakfastmenu]

Man, can we just appreciate Kevin's band? They replicate what he laid down on the recordings so dang good.

The best song on The Slow Rush! It’s either On Track or One More Hour for me!

[@biglezmate3830]

Couldn't agree more. Both the best songs on there

[@anaknoles7098]

I remember listening to the Slow Rush on Valentine's when it was released, on my noise cancelling headphones just staring at the ceiling playing through the full track list. What an amazing piece of artistry. As the pandemic got worse, and I discovered each song was attributed to a certain month of the year (January 2020, February...December 2020 etc.) I began to listen to each month's song with much closer attention. On Track represents July 2020. I remember feeling hopeless, so tired of everything being shutdown, but this song brought me a little bit of hope. Like, at least I'm still On Track - despite it all. ♥ "The hardest part is over...so glad you're coming over...the world ain't waiting for you....we're just a little older, the rest comes easy..."

It's so hard trying to carve out your own life... I've been struggling with this lately. Just feeling a little lonely and a bit unaccomplished.

I absolutely love that the comments are filled with “Nick’s back!” As good as Cam is technically, I always love seeing Nick up there.

[@JoshuaAnimations]

Tame Impala is the reason i haven't gone crazy because of this world circumstance in which it feels like we only go backwards. I don't watch the news anymore cause the less I know the better, I'm scared that nothing that has happened so far has been anything we could control. It distress me but I pretend I don't really mind. I'm tired of having apocalypse dreams, I'm on the borderline. Sometimes I get lost in yesterday remembering my past life and I lose my lucidity, then I realize it's been one more hour and maybe it will become one more year. I was wrong when I said solitude is bliss, now I feel alone and I miss everyone, Why won't they talk to me? When I drink a half full glass of wine and I listen to his songs I feel patience and I feel sun's coming up, then is when I think eventually, the moment I have been waiting for will come. I just breathe deeper and think "it might be time to let it happen". I like to think that yes, I'm changing, but then my alter ego tells me "Keep on lying to yourself, your gonna be a new person, same old mistakes" and it descourages me. Maybe my expectation won't become true, maybe it is not meant to be.
