Tame Impala - Solitude is Bliss/It Is Not Meant To Be (BBC Session 2011)

[@thebreakfastmenu]

I think the only person other than Kevin who's played this entire album on every instrument is Jay. Dude deserves more recognition for being a very skilled multi-instrumentalist.

[@Rob-mi4jp]

He has drum and key credits on innerspeaker I’m pretty sure

[@om1t_]

@@Rob-mi4jphe has drum credits for Solitude is Bliss & Bold arrow of time. Also guitar credits for the Bold arrow interlude.

[@maxsonthonax1020]

Recognition vs. credits.

[@GabrielMartins-gs6rr]

dude is the only person to sing in a tame impala track other than kevin on retina show

[@coolmanjack1995]

They never turn the bass up loud enough, I'm glad they finally did for this video

[@VampireWeekendWills]

Jack Lammy its like a sexy blanket to keep us all warm

[@D3ft0ne]

I like this alot! That sig. Paul's tone :)

[@cauemachadosilva6208]

Yes, i'm even without headphones and i can listen to it clear. That Hofner Violin Bass, amazing instrument!

[@rumsss1379]

I was thinking the same thing jajaja

[@HateTheRapperWhoEats]

It’s like “oh bass”...cool, y’know how to make the bass better? Just crank the bass up

[@coldacre]

damn Jay Watson is a fine drummer. just gets the business done, every time. groove machine

[@pretzelsandgasjets]

[@davebosworth1778]

+Jackson Webster TstPbbbbbtbtbtt! So, the pissing match is down the road-a-piece. Dude was commenting on THIS drummer, and as I could see, made NO inference that there was none better anywhere. There's always somebody better at something somewhere. So, go to the page with your "Coldacre dude Julien" on it and rave away.

[@Basedmursenary]

+David Bosworth exactly... thanks for pointing that out

[@Basedmursenary]

+Jackson Webster seriously? what's up with this one-uppity culture on KZbin. How about you just agree with the fact that jay is a "fine drummer" No where in the comment did he say he was the best or better. So please, just be a decent human being and shut up

[@liamdawes8398]

Jay is a magnificent drummer, however I personally adore the way Kevin makes the drums literally glue everything together. His best playing is done on the drums in my opinion, still a boss at literally everything he does though.

[@nobigideas3710]

Jay actually recorded drums on Solitude Is Bliss.

[@MrNeil13neil]

Starts with the drums and builds around them

[@irishhungrydwarf9015]

They’re all so talented. Awesome that they continue to make music

[@pablosanches2397]

you dont know what you're saying. Jay recorded the drums on studio version.

[@zepreme3919]

Yea but he’s doing his own signature fills , Kevin made it sound way different in the record

[@irishace11]

I took my son to see TI the other night, he's been playing a vintage Fender P-bass, he wants to trade for a Hofner, fucking stunning night, they just keep getting better.

[@SemiToneBlew]

This is it.This is THE performance for me. and I'm just floating, and it just feels great, it all feels nice and neat and you kevin parker my man keep with the music please don't you ever quit it please

[@SamdGG]

Well

[@googas1]

@@ALTROTOPIA Maybe they're passionate about whatever they're talking about? It's much better than the repetitive and generic KZbin comments that you usually see...

[@tanjeem3624]

look at him now on top

[@humbertosandoval55]

Jay must have had a jazz background because his playing is tight yet organic, and breathes.

[@Sasariz]

From 2012, now 2023 still listening to this song. Masterpiece!

[@Srength4life]

Its weird cause I've always loved the melodies to these songs and the overall composition and never really paid attention to the lyrics but when you listen to what he s saying, they are actually pretty great lyrics too!

[@jackpoirier3334]

It can definitely be hard to make out what he is saying but once you look it up they are very creative lyrics

He's literally the best lyricist, ever. Lmao

except for now they rush everything with Julien tbh

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 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 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

Cracks in the pavement underneath my shoe I care less and less about and less about you No one else around to look at me So I can look at my shadow as much as I please All the kicks that I can't compare to Making friends like you're all supposed to But you will never come close to how I feel You will never come close to how I feel Space around me where my soul can breathe Off guard body that my mind can leave Nothing else matters, I don't care what I'll miss Company's okay, solitude is bliss There's a party in my head And no one is invited And you will never come close to how I feel You will never come close to how I feel Movement doesn't flow Quite like it does when I'm alone I'll be the one who's free You and all your friends can watch me Today Don't ask me how you're supposed to feel You will never come close to how I feel You will never come close to how I feel You will never come close to how I feel You will never come close to how I feel

It's a "Burny" Les Paul Custom. Made in Japan. There's actually a huge following for 1980's "Lawsuit Era" Japanese guitars. They are much cheaper and easier to get in Australia, and they are just as good or better than their USA counterparts from that era.

when u are waiting for that energizing intro on drums and all u get is this

[@isaacdebroux-slone]

+slipperypessimist True!!! Jay can definitely hold down a good groove, but his fills are pretty boring and he drags a lot.

[@IdoIndeedFlip]

+Isaac deBroux-Slone "can hold a good groove"... "drags a lot"... I feel like those are contradictory

[@isaacdebroux-slone]

IdoIndeedFlip when I said he drags, I meant that he just plays the songs slower than the recordings. his tempo is still steady and the groove is good, but when he plays them so much slower than the recorded ones the songs sound kind of sluggish

[@StonyBrookThroast]

thats not really his fault though, both songs start with guitar so he didnt get to decide the tempo of the song, Kevin did.
