Tame Impala Perform "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards"

[@WondrThis]

Tame Impala is going down in the music history books. I'm glad to live in this generation with them making this type music

[@the.corvidian]

I don't think I've ever heard someone re-sing a studio release and it sounds this accurate to the original, very impressive

[@19RaxR91]

0:39 - 0:43 From an angel to an aussie drunk. Lovin it!

Its so fucking funny dude! haha the angelical voice vs your dad drunk in the christmas dinner

YEEEEESSSSSSSSS

[@ThrashAndBurn7]

Kevins instrument makes this one sound kind of like a lullaby and I love it!

[@kennyg03]

Kev forgot the lyrics at the beginning only cuz he didn't have his shoes off.

[@Formerlyi]

you won.

[@mattydigs]

Btw the song at the beginning is "Internation Feel" (also "Le Feel Internacionale") off of Todd Rundgrens classic acid-damaged album "A Wizard, A True Star". Good stuff on there. If you need the chords for it I'm sure they are online in a bunch of places.

[@apian29]

Masterpiece album

Looks like I'm going to need a 1983 Casio DG20 Electric guitar set to Electric Mandolin...

[@jamcam80s]

Just got the chill down my spine when the vocals kicked in. Very much in the same vein as John Lennon's vocals for 'A Day in the Life'... beautiful. Love this band.

[@DelusionalVoice]

That synth patch Jay is using for International Feel is so awesome

[@lunxfusion7814]

What is it called and how can I get it GarageBand?

[@SEATTLEKID2o6]

Love the intro by jay

[@tparker2095]

It's "International Feel" by Todd Rundgren, Lonerism was heavily inspired by that whole album.

[@kingdomabundance999]

Dude.....that guitar though.

[@xanadune_music_storage_rea1794]

Casio synth guitars... they don't look good on anybody but Kevin Parker

[@bjornsun2325]

that intro was stunning

[@michaelgibson4523]

The only thing I don't like about this video is the fact kev is wearing proper shoes! Hahaha

[@juliennguyen1730]

Like someone said in an article, Parker sounds like "John Lennon's voice from a day in the life stuck in a bottle and taught to sing new songs"

[@writingthefuture]

wow that's really neat! what article was that, by chance?

[@danielmata4655]

The article refers to “I’m only sleeping” not “a day in the life”. For your health

[@tomseventyr]

I absolutely love this! First I thought the song actually started when the keyboard player started singing, but after that I just laughed. And the humbelness at the beginning!.. Missing the lyrics, and just sitting there. I can't explain in words how the song itself made me feel. Have a feel for yourself! CHEERS FROM NORWAY!!!

[@woowoo4397]

I love this version better than the original. The original gives me an existential crisis- this feels like a "*hug* I get you"😭

[@crazyequalsfun]

I like that they're so jovial in these sessions! Pretty unusual for a band, considering I've seen a lot of these.

[@crlchs]

I fell in love with Feels Like on Jools Holland, but it was taken off of KZbin... : (This is the first version as good as that one was. ) Thank you!!!! Love Tame Impala!

[@legomyfego]

you're definitely hearing his real voice, but that echo-y effect on it is just the delay. i don't think his voice has been pitch-corrected.

[@Bouchon211]

1:43 he forgets to sing the backup vocals and gets the look of death lol!

[@gizzellevaldivia8061]

gosh they are way too adorable for me to handle.

[@denisepaulsenful]

KP's like a teddy you have when you're like 4-yrs old and you drag the teddy around with you. I can't leave the house without my KP lined up for a cheeky listen wherever I go. He's my pacifier.

[@kandycec]

This is so sweet

[@Scoob505]

The Tame Impala of our time. They are their own band...

This needs to be more popular, I'm starting to like them.

[@PERRYFILM]

i can't believe he was playing International Feel (my favorite song by Todd Rundgren)! I'm officially in love with this band!!

[@felipedraper]

It feels like I only go backwards baby Every part of me says: Go ahead I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again Feels like we only go backwards darling I know that you think you sound Silly when you call my name (my name) But I hear it inside my head all day When I realize I'm just holding on to The hope that maybe Your feelings don't show It feels like I only go backwards baby Every part of me says: Go ahead Then I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again Feels like we only go backwards darling The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no 'Cause I decided long ago But that's the way it seems to go when trying So hard to get to something real It feels It feels like I only go backwards darling Every part of me says: Go ahead I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again Feels like we only go backwards darlin' Feels like I only go backwards baby Every part of me says: Go ahead I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again Feels like we only go backwards darling

It's a bit late now; he remembered them!

[@bobduncanvevo6969]

Bit more than 7 words lol

[@pinktallgirl94]

Seeing them live in 2 months. I cannot wait!

[@7CeLsO7]

Stop saying he sounds like John Lennon, or the whole band sound like The Beatles. That's not true! I think they are quite special, aren't they?

[@thehonkening1]

Celso Ons They are the definition of unique. But it IS very similar to the style of John Lennon from the 60s.

[@gabrielpaixaoful]

Celso Ons Why is it a big deal man? Is it so bad to be compared to The Beatles? A lot of bands are, and YES they sounds a lot like the psychedelic Beatles, and they keep being special and a very good band.

[@moskydosky]

Celso Ons I think , the beatles have some Pscycodelic songs that get a little bit of the tame impala way, but The beatles are Rock revolution arent they? , yes it is..

[@Annie1962]

Cristian Cárcamo you seriously need to listen to an album by the beatles called 'Rubber soul"

[@supercat1997]

Celso Ons Well it's kinda a compliment for me

[@dominicfaucher4956]

I prefer this to the studio version. Well done!

Was it worth it? I'm thinking of buying it too. Sounds so cool.

[@joefried4381]

i have one for sell

[@joefried4381]

i have sold every instrument i owned but kept this guy. The real question is, why would you want a casio dg-20 i promise you that it will not make you write great music and is absolutely a novelty item, just the best novelty item ever made. BTW i really have one from japan and am considering selling. I know I am two years late on the comment but hey if you really wanted it. two years is nothing

[@TheMichaelRock]

Totally. Although with the internet makes it very easy to escape other types of media trying to make you listen to what you don't want to.

[@KevIndigo0]

This is beautiful

[@sizr]

Yep. Many thumbs up because these guys are going only forward

[@DezFramboesas]

It's actually just a Roland PCR300 but they've obviously painted em teal and done some modifications, it seems.

[@ddrummer2222]

Jay Watson. He used to be the drummer for Tame Impala but for the Lonerism album he's been playing keyboard.

yes

[@washedinsilver1]

Wow!...is this really his own voice totally? Sounds fucking awesome so clear! They are not using some program or special microphones are they? lol Im sold otherwise He got such a old school /rock goin on Lennon like some said

Theres quite a bit of modulation. Delay, reverb etc
