I saw tame impala 2013 in Dallas. They opened up for the national and put on a phenomenal show. I remember they played this song and Kevin did a solo at the end and weaved it into Enders toi. It was PHENOMENAL. It was unfortunate because the crowd wasn’t into them and he could tell. I remember him saying that they will hurry up and end their set so that everyone could see the national. I left after they were done. They were outside loading up. I spoke with Kevin and got a picture with him. He’s seriously the nicest dude ever.

[@TheVintageRomance]

I listened to Lonerism a lot during college because every song *spoke* to me during those hard times. I've always felt like an outcast at school, so it felt comforting knowing that someone as cool as Kevin felt this way too. Fast forward to The Slow Rush, i love it how not only did he experiment with his music production--but with his general view of life as well. Back then, I honestly felt like a lonely piece of shit who clinged onto the past for nostalgia's sake. So to hear Kevin say "it might be time to face it, you ain't as cool as you used to be" felt like a reality check. It's like you can see the growth in each album and it feels so authentically relatable. Thanks for posting this song again, I feel a sense of relief knowing that I no longer look to others for validation.

Finally he performs something that’s not from TSR or Currents! That was cool. I always tried to avoid listening to this cause I don’t need to be reminded that no one talks to me or atleast it feels like no one ever talks to me. It’s too emotional.

[@toddjones3046]

I just got introduced to tame, I feel your post. Hey I’m talking to you. Later

[@iamhereblossom1588]

I feel like he's talking about how this mindset just leads to more loneliness and it's all in your head. Because the end has him obviously in denial and he says "I thought I was happy", he's causing his own loneliness

[@josephwright8752]

I don’t mind getting emotional, it’s nice to feel different things. Kevin’s music takes me to a place where I feel the pain of being alone, but I know that he feels that, and so many people that connect with his music also feel the way I do, and then I don’t feel so alone anymore.

@@iamhereblossom1588 Cognitive Behaviour Therapy was invented because a lot of our depression is just cyclical bad thoughts and arguments we make and cannot debate our way out of, and then accept as truths. Knowing how to deal with these thoughts went a long way with digging me and others out of depressive thought patterns, I recommend looking into it to anyone here....
