    all his last album and this song helped me trough a very bad ending with a bad relationship at the time, Let it happen taught me to never give up and let the thing flow, and "love paranoia" that some relations can destroy you, and you gotta change for good in "yes, I'm changing"

    • @umanuu
      @umanuu 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Don’t forget “New Person, Same Old Mistakes” (the conclusion to ‘Currents’). It‘s a song about, despite being grown and matured throughout life, one may still deep down express a part about their past self. And it’s about accepting that. ‘They say “people never change,” but that’s bullshit. They do.’

    Congratulations Kevin, I'm a rocker turned into an electronic producer and you fucking single-handedly bridged the gap of what I've used to like (and still do) and what I can produce. You're one of the few people I dare to call a visionaire nowadays in music

    • @thenewyorkpauls
      @thenewyorkpauls 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      He did the same for me. Kevin has guided so many of us multi-instrumentalist rock guys into uncharted territory with great conviction; even Mac DeMarco considers him an inspiration. There's no telling what he has unleashed.

    Thank God for Kevin Parker. When I’m down TI lifts my mood! Amazingly talented young man. So kind, soft spoken, polite and genuine. Go read his story. He hasn’t had the best of everything in life, but he keeps hope alive. Is he different, fun and quirky? Yes, but isn’t that what makes life fun and interesting no matter your age?

    All the album is an amazing piece of music, full of ambition and passion. The way Kevin took the risk to deal with sounds and musical structures he didn't used before, and you can still hear that all the songs came more or less naturally... A great challenge he achieved here.

  • @coldacre
    @coldacre 8 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I'm on the fence with Kevin. there is no doubt "Let It Happen" was the best song of the year. its utterly brilliant. but the album "Currents" was disappointing. very derivative, 80's synth pop and a big step backwards from "Lonerism". there's also some ridiculous hero worship with this guy, like he's the only guy in the band. Jay Watson is equally talented and Nick Allbrook... the now ex-Tame bass player is actually a far better song writer and musician. the 6 albums of Pond are far better than the 3 Tame albums. but y'know.... Jesus on vocals. the girls love that.

    • @giovannilopez9119
      @giovannilopez9119 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Coldacre I felt like it expertly combined elements of the 80s and what Tame Impala was already doing, as a man of the night I can highly appreciate this album, they wanted this album to have more of a dance element and I can honestly say ive never wanted to dance harder to a song than The Less I Know The Better

    • @BD-st4td
      @BD-st4td 7 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Coldacre People talk about Kevin so much because he IS Tame Impala. The writing, record and production is all him - the rest don't contribute, so why would people talk about the rest of the band? (I agree though I love Nick, Pond, Gum, MMC etc.) Yeah Lonerism is better than Currents, but they're great in their own separate ways. The Pop of currents means I can't listen to it that often, whereas could have Lonerism on repeat until I drop dead haha

      Coldacre wooow such a hater. Currents was brilliantly inspired and is a fucking masterpiece. He combined R&B with psychedelic rock and synth pop. Derivative? Now you’re just reaching
