If you've ever looked back at childhood and marveled at how much nicer it was back then, you might be struck with hiraeth .. a welsh word that doesn’t translate easily into English. It’s a faraway sickness to a faraway time or place you don’t know how to remember .. it’s your deep longing to where your spirit lives. . . . .

[@jonfavreau5154]

It Is Not Meant To Be - Lyrics: 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 And 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 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

I remember hearing this back in 2011. I found it while I was candy flipping (on advice a friend gave me because I was severely depressed) I was browsing KZbin and randomly found an upload and this was the track. I was blown away by it and it put me into a state of mind of sheer bliss. Even though it wasn’t exactly a song to help with my girl problems, I was just happy to watch “her move” and made me realize it wasn’t meant to be even if I tried to boast her love for me that wasn’t there. Love you Kevin Parker and will always be a fan. It’s like being a proud dad. Went from having 15k views total in YEARS to over a million in a week❤️🥺

I have a lot of memories with this song dating back to 2012. Innerspeaker will always be my favorite. It Is Not Meant to Be is the classic of the classic Tame Impala songs. All of the music is fantastic, but nothing beats how perfect this song is from beginning to end. Nothing has changed about my experience with this song since my first listen in 2012 and I'm still obsessed!

[@nicholaspaz]

This song many years ago was a comfort to me. Still is, ironically... It's like lowballing or saying how things can seem hopeless, which can be motivating if the feeling had gone unchecked or named.
