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

Tame Impala Live 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.

[@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

[@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

[@coldacre]

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

[@pretzelsandgasjets]

+Coldacre dude Julien is so much better, way more energy, better and more complex fils

[@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

[@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.

[@humbertosandoval55]

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

[@CommonUnity]

drummer is fit as fuck

[@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]

@@A1varoRubio2004 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

[@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

[@zakkarystiles7553]

He's literally the best lyricist, ever. Lmao

Paolo Olivari he's great!!! but those are all written by Kevin lol...

[@elliemaria6000]

Oh yes me too, Nick and Jay equal Kevin Parker imho

weird seeing nick so calm

[@ItAllMakeSenseNow82]

right 😂 i love how explosive he can be but this really is so chill. met Pond a few months ago in NoLa and hes super chill in person too. such dolls 💜

Nicks on the bass right? I can barely tell lol

[@ryanhancock1234]

It is not meant to be is just beyond beautiful.

[@peteschork9461]

this version of it is not meant to be is amazing

[@Halzston]

I felt the same until I saw them live last week. Julian made the songs swagger like a Gene Krupa-Keith Moon drum-off.

[@WillBoesl]

BBC hates Dom.

Me too

Bro if you miss the music he used to make then just listen to it? Lol why would an artist (especially like him) stay making the same type of music his entire career?

[@benlevy4827]

Agree.

[@slipperypessimist]

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

[@isaacdebroux-slone3732]

+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-slone3732]

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

[@StonyBrookFireDeptBand]

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

[@nadavmarzuk]

So beautiful

[@Gouldius]

Oh that bass tone will always make me happy.

[@PascoDL6]

I love your guy's stuff! It flows so smoothly!

[@swapnilyadav5492]

Guess you were right.

[@jfrorn]

this is excellent!

[@minhdiszles]

I agree, they used to drag a lot. But now that Jay Watson is on keys instead of drums, they sound amazing live. just check out Tame Impala Reading Festival 2013

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

It's a Burny!! They make, well made, really good knock-off's of Les Paul's. So much so they were sued by Gibson and they're illegal to sell state side. I bought one in Japan great price too. Just found this band the other day though and I'm in love with them.

I often hear other people say the hofner is just a dull thud of a bass guitar, can't say they're.wrong but it works so well for this track and tame impala's music in general.

@@possibly8180 i dont have a Hofner but i have a Epiphone Viola, i love this sound but it gets dull after a while tbh. I play the Jazz Bass much more
