Tame Impala - Patience (Live on Saturday Night Live / 2019)

[@faispascommedeport3155]

Imagine having that voice...I’d never shut up

[@SafaAlkan]

But it's his falsetto voice

[@spw96]

Lol

[@sunbaths.]

Kevin’s live vocals really have improved tremendously

[@dcthegreatest24]

He's louder in the mix on the albums and live for the newer stuff. His performance changes show to show. I've seen some disasters on KZbin, but he was great when I saw them in 2013

[@mitchconnor9748]

I saw him in 2014. Horrible vocals. No offense great music though.

[@josephmorales652]

I totally agree! His live vocals have generally been the weakest point. Glad to see it pretty much on point with the album. He deserves it.

[@andymac3820]

Its not his vocals that have improved mate its because hes using a telefunken mic with a TC Helicon VoiceTone D1 Doubling Detune Pedal to help him from singing out of tune and sounding terrible. Those tc helicon pedals can make anyone sound better tbh.

[@jxzzymh]

i think it’s because he’s getting used to it now tbh

[@rvnl4530]

This man is a gift to humanity, not sure if the masses truly realize it yet.

[@myfriendgoo2816]

It's a team effort. Coachella 2013 is my favorite live video of theirs, and you can see it was more than just Kevin.

[@samueldgutierrez]

My Friend Goo Kevin writes, records, and produces all of the songs. He only uses the band to play live; Tame Impala IS Kevin Parker, jt is not a band.

[@tangibleandroid285]

[@breitnerredondosuarez7627]

We must keep this man alive at all cost

[@StickyRice43]

It sounds happy, but it's actually a sad song. As a girl approaching her 30s with no direction in life yet seeing my friends finish school, starting careers, getting married, and having kids, these lyrics were hitting me pretty hard. It felt like life was leaving me behind. Made me rethink what I'm doing with my life so much that I'm planning to put my two weeks notice in today at my dead end job, and pursue my passion in something artistic and creative.

[@number3stunner118]

... And now? I'll say, this song reminds me that I once used to tell whoever that I enjoyed writing. Still haven't completed my first book - except that I basically need to edit the audio version of my first project, and then it's a matter of publishing that, and the second book is just a matter of recording and editing as well... last time I did anything with that stuff was May or June of '21... I could've done that several times over. This song hits me with both "...time waits for no one" and "time takes from everyone." Hope things are looking up seeing that you pursued your passion.

[@eternalise]

Heyy I remember reading this comment when it was fairly new, hope you found what you were looking for...

Kevin Parker is one of the most talented and creative artists of our generation. can't wait for the new album!

[@jgdacashman]

Ulfric Stormcloak should we be giving Kevin Parker all the credit? I’m asking frankly. I would imagine the sound from tame impala is a collaborative effort and not JUST Kevin. However, the band would lose its identity without his beautiful voice. What an amazing transition they’ve made from grunge to new wave. All without losing their soul. Something I think bands like Coldplay and muse had a tough time figuring out.

[@capitalmedia621]

@@jgdacashman he writes and produces all the songs, of course he should get most of the credit lol

He is the strongest independent artist out there I’d say, he doesn’t necessarily have to but in today’s music business he certainly has the potential to be the hottest biggest thing in the mainstream and on the charts, people might not agree but I’d say this performance solidifies that potential

[@g2theis0]

Arguably one of the best sounding SNL sets of all time. This dude is a wizard

[@nickvanhoughton9382]

It really sounds incredible. The mixing is perfect

[@danaolson2871]

Somehow he overcame the usual horrible SNL mix. He must have his own sound engineer mixing this. SNL usually has a very conservative compressed automated gain sharing flat mix that destroys the sound of most of their performers.

[@deanmichaelortiz6518]

They overcame it by playing with tracks and Kevin having his own sound man mixing vocals. Good job Kev. Reverb heaven!

[@matheusdoriadearaujo3318]

I really dont get why patience is not on the album..i mean the sounds and themes fit very well thank you very much and it would make the record even stronger

[@vaporware4099]

I think he got scared of the negative reception by some of the fans and kept it as a single.

[@baltafernandez9179]

I think its because the single was towards the fans telling them to be patient and how 'Patience' answers to why he hadnt released the album yet. He kind of says he isnt ready yet

[@hssn1543]

Maybe for a B-Side and reworked

[@matheusdoriadearaujo3318]

After all these two months i can say that the slow rush as an album is really a weak point in his career... the album is not that good like the ones before and it has nothing to do with changing styles and more about how the song will impact the audience... this new album is too much personal and the choice of rythm and dancing style will not make the audience feel the same conection with larger then life trippy emotions(like the more pop albums of flaming lips do) that the songs used to have...(sorry my poor english)

[@danielschu3152]

@@matheusdoriadearaujo3318 Wholeheartedly disagree. I love the personal touches this album has. I also think that songs like One More Hour, One More Year, and Posthumous Forgiveness offer that larger than life psychedelic soundscape that we've grown accustomed to out of Kevin

This is a sharp song .. we need more music like this.

[@donna25871]

It’s become really obvious with these new songs that Kevin Parker does not repeat himself and that no two TI albums are the same.

[@ItzWolf3h]

I think every album is a constant growth from the last one. You can find hints of all three albums he's put out before in this song. Man's just trying to evolve his sound.

[@rogerigez21]

.Vaaskiii, bro This is a regression. This new stuff is so disappointing. He’s basically made a generic pop album.

[@brentonmah3258]

Dyson1 from an artist’s point of view, it’s progression. Inevitably in dabbling in different genres, fans of the past genres may get left behind. That’s how it usually goes 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@myfriendgoo2816]

I dunno...I think Innerspeaker and Lonerism were mostly the same initial batch ('cept maybe Elephant) and Currents was the sophomore effort as far as the record company goes. There's also that first EP and the Transparent Night stuff, but it wasn't as polished.

[@ririschannelx]

.Vaaskiii yep it’s called progression. It would boring if artists never evolved and just repeated themselves

[@DIGITAL7Media]

im curious how many non-fans hear Tame for the first time and really liked it. As fans we obviously know what's up...but I almost wish I could hear Tame for the first time again. I wonder how many new followers he got from this appearance.

Parker gives this old guy faith in the future of modern music. Been a TP fan since Lonerism. Only old school artist i can compare him to is Todd Rungren. Both supremely gifted multi instrumentalists. True artists. Sounds like the new music post Currents will be even better than the preceding albums.

[@OrangeCosmonaut]

A Wizard, A True Star was the primary influence for Lonerism so i've read

[@lupcokotevski2907]

And Todd's major songwriting influence is the New York prodigy Laura Nyro, for example, 'Stoned Soul Picnic (1968) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4G9f5KrgZKtZqM
