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!

[@jorollo1337]

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

YEEEEESSSSSSSSS

[@kennyg03]

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

[@Formerlyi]

you won.

[@ThrashAndBurn7]

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

[@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

[@murraythedemonhead]

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

[@emezix]

He is so good live

[@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.

[@Fanny-gm2hb]

i love when kevin touches his hair, adorable haha

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

Dude.....that guitar though.

Love the intro by jay

[@tparker2095]

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

[@henryloic2194]

9 years later, still magic

[@jamiedionaabbott1320]

This is amazing I wish someone had his best vocals in compilation form

[@michaelgibson4523]

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

[@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.

[@woowoo4397]

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

[@bjornsun2325]

that intro was stunning

[@crazyequalsfun]

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

[@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!!!

[@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!

Bit more than 7 words lol

1:41 Kevin's glare of doom.

[@mysweetchord4464]

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

[@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!

[@kandycec]

This is so sweet

[@divinoe4540]

KEVIN WEARING SHOES?!?!?!?!

[@Bouchon211]

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

[@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

[@missedithc]

they are going to be a big thing.

[@Scoob505]

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

[@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.

[@Quixoticelixer23]

They already are a big thing. They're great.

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

I prefer this to the studio version. Well done!

[@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

[@dreamsofhomeplanet]

Kevin is really real y'know? He makes dreamy, out of this realm sounds to real lyrics. That's what got me hooked to Tame.

[@conitatopisima]

this is magic

[@TrueFallacy]

This is one of the best tracks of 2012..

[@danielduran4077]

Just got a casio dg-20 cause of this video! First thing I did was start playing this song. Yea, I buy stuff cause I see it on tv/youtube.

+daniel duran Yeah I just got a woolly jumper with patterns on and dyed my hair copper

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

[@JeffWeavil]

Todd Rundgren AND Tame Impala is a match made in Heaven!

yesterday, at the London gig, Kevin started singing the wrong song, like here, and they just looked at each other and smiled!

Best music ever

This is beautiful

[@Jibbuns]

Just saw a band called Gumbo Variation who reminded me of Impala. Awesome psychedelic band!

[@footballkev]

I remember when I first heard these guys I could make nothing but comparisons. But now I realize that Kevin Parker is an entity of his own!

[@mikebow2852]

no bass??? killed the best part of the song!

[@javilopez1632]

that's true! the bass in this song, is so hypnotic, like old groovie dirty sound. The bass is kind of heart of the song

[@Elrich89]

True, but it's cool to hear different versions. This is a cool one.

[@nickstarkey4378]

Theres quite a bit of modulation. Delay, reverb etc

[@joe.bob9999]

at 00:25 what setting did Jay use on his keyboard's mod wheel?

[@carlosalbertoarayaflores5165]

bob seems like a tremolo at a certain speed, plus the flanger he is already using

[@chrisk7269]

Definitely a delay with high feedback
