I already went through a phase where I couldn't stop listening to the original version on repeat now I can't stop listening to this. Wow.
Same like
same🤤
There was a two-year period of my life with this song was all I could think of
Oi, I am not the only addict, turns out
I like how they made the bridge its own verse. Interesting structure and interesting harmonies, great cover
Ibangedmatt totally agree
samee
I’m physically violent over the fact this isn’t on Spotify
LITERALLY i had to download it and add it myself bc i couldn’t live without listening to it daily
Such a damn good rendition
if you have a pc....you can add it yourself
RIGHT?!?
This.
I love the original but I can't stop listening to this over and over its has its own uniqueness bravo so very good I'm really feeling it
Me too
Yes, I'm missing a "Like it a lot" button.
Same, I discovered it today and now I’ve listened to it like 11 times man
I listen to this 7x yesterday and I’m back again.
still happening lol, already tattoed on my arm
Doesn’t realise half the lyrics until I listen to this version 😅
That's because Kevin Parker admitted that the recorded Tame Impala lyrics are actually gibberish during the section of the song toward the end. He said he hadn't come up with words for that part yet when he was recording the song so he just mumbled in a way that conveyed the emotion he was feeling. So any "real" lyrics there are just an interpretation for the sake of giving it actual words.
@@matteikamp7474 I guess you could say Kevin just ... let it happen B)
Right xD
Matt Eikamp but he did eventually write actual lyrics for live performances.
@@adamkitbashes8067 Google the lyrics. They follow them spotlessly
Was this the best ever "Like a Version"? The work put into this. The passion in Meg's eyes. The sibling voice harmonies.
It’s great! But not the best. The Wiggles cover of Elephant
This was awesome, they did something different but didn’t destroy the song
Daniel Lewis Yes, haunting good...
This is how a good cover should be. It’s so different that I can’t really compare it to the original, or figure out which version I love more.
Daniel Lewis this is the greatest thing thing this artist ever does. She suck and will never be relevant
@@sagewisdom09 absolutely. forms a complement instead of being an attempted remake. they both exist enriching the other
they ruined the best guitar part
Loving how she starts with some of the end lines and mixes them in throughout. Also she gives her own slight take on it, but hasn't completely ruined it which is a nice change
Hannah Nichol u Suk
4yrs later still gives me chills...
I have no idea how many times I've listened to this. It's such a powerful performance.
I only found this a few days ago. And already I've lost count of my views.
..
I Will not vanish, you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to push through it
You were not thinking that I will not do it
They be lovin' someone and I'm another story
Take the next ticket, get the next train
Why would I do it?
Anyone'd think that
It's always around me, all this noise, but
Not really as loud as the voice saying
"Let it happen, let it happen (It's gonna feel so good)
Let it happen, let it happen"
All this running around
Trying to cover my shadow
An ocean growing inside
All the others seem shallow
All this running around
Bearing down on my shoulders
I can hear an alarm
Must be morning
I Will not vanish, you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to push through it
You were not thinking that I will not do it
I heard about a whirlwind that's coming 'round
It's gonna carry off all that isn't bound, and
When it happens, when it happens (I'm gonna be holding on)
Leet it happen, let it happen (I'm gonna be holding on)
All this running around
I can't fight it much longer
Something's trying to get out
And it's never been closer
If my ticker fails
Make up some other story
But if I never come back
Tell my mother I'm sorry
I Will not vanish, you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to push through it
You were not thinking that I will not do it
They be lovin' someone and I'm another story
Take the next ticket, get the next train
Why would I do it?
Anyone'd think that
I was ready, I was ready, all along
I was ready, I was ready, all along
Oh maybe, all I wanted was the sound of a memory
All I wanted was the sound ohhhhh ohhhh, ohhhhh ohhhh
All I wanted, all I wanted Ohhhhhh
I was ready, I was ready,
I was ready, I was ready, all along,
I was ready, I was ready, all along
I've been coming back here for years now...
Me too. This song can still take me away to some happy place.
I come back here from time to time cause I don't think I'll ever get over how good this is
Same. The way it builds gives me goosebumps.
The Sirens hypnotic call... irresistible.
DAMN THE BEST TAME IMPALA'S COVER
MarErwanA Alex turner did a pretty good job
Darcy Bourke omg i have To watch it
He did good but nothing that original - just his voice and an acoustic guitar. These guys have completely reinvented the song by removing the groovy upbeat aspect and replacing it with a melancholy-type lull, really emphasising the resignation of the original lyrics. For that I commend the cover more than Alex's, and subsequently claim that this is indeed not only a better cover but the best I've seen for Tame Impala
Dr. Headlong's cover is the best in terms of effort and loyalty to the original.
@@darcybourke7679 ye. And still woozy
I like how they combine in harmony to create that tame impala sound, its beautiful
I can picture this cover in some opening credits for a James Bond film
moviemagic could also be in the end credits of 007
It’s because at the end she sounds like Adele :P
If the next James Bond is a millenial boy with oldschool tattoos and a big fan of indie music, that could work.
Or John wick
definitely
Meg Mac should cover the entire album. This really is incredible.
Totally agree great cover better than the original 👍
@@simonpowell9926😂😂 hell no
@@mortality__1 go read your comics music isn't for you
Sorry but what? 🤯
Well 3:00-4:00 might just be the best 60 seconds of music I’ve ever heard in my life.
Thanks for putting in that time stamp. I can keep going back and this song never ends.
2 years on I’m commenting on this again. One of my favorite songs ever. I don’t know how I can like it more than the original but I do.
This has a trip-hop vibe that i can't get enough of, so much swagger
Surely i'm not the only one who watches this at least once a week?
Top 3 LAV's of all time, am i wrong?
Don’t think I’ve heard two voices go together quite so perfectly!
So so good. I'm so glad I found this channel and learned about the existance of this radio station. Man you Australians have it great to be able to listen to this daily.... learned about a lot of great Australian artists this way. Thank you Triple J for making this all available worldwide via the internet
netkooper 🤫our secret 😉
I won’t lie. It’s good too be Australian 🍺❤️
triple J is predominantly trash anyway, so not missing out on much.
Wow, I'm going through the same phases lol.
I didn't realize the Australian link there actually, I just happened to be a tame impala fan subscribed here after seeing the wiggles covering tame impala in my recommended lol.
So I'm definitely glad they post it all on the broader internet!
Downside of being Aussie: paying out the ass for video games.
I love how the lyrics are easier to understand in this cover. Especially towards the end of the song. They are beautiful lyrics and in the original they are very faded.
Fun fact this is probably not the first time that you’ve seen this video
F*ck you, how dare you be right. 😂
Omg, thats so fun! 😱
Truth
There's a point in this song where you can see the Joy on her face. You can see that she knows that she's really doing a fantastic job. And then there's this fierceness that you can see.I'm trying to capture that fierceness right now.
They killed this I actually love hearing women sing Kevin’s songs.
The best covers cast the original in a different light. This added a new dimension to the song, although I don't know enough music to say what.
Vincent Tavani so true...I love how they arranged this.
Oh my god! This is SOOOO good!!! I'm a hardcore Tame Impala fan, and am in love with this version. Best cover hands down.
there’s so much passion in this and I think that’s what makes it so good plus their voices are incredible
From the start to the end this song builds a deep dark beautiful story that is brilliantly prefomed and dose justice to the original song but in a different way - excellent . I could really see Meg doing a song on a James Bond movie and that would be something
yes
i was thinking sounds like a james bond song
She just did
It's a travesty that this isn't on Spotify among the others so I can add this to my music and play it all the time there.
also without that f***** intro
Let it epp'n.
Suzi-wan Kenobi you are a person
Anyone else think they look like emo wogs
haha i came to the comment section for this
I laughed harder than I should have
Suzi-wan-kanboneme
Obsessed with this version of the song.
Please get this on spotify this is my fav like a version!
I almost cried at the tell my mother I'm sorry part. True emotions.
What the actual fuck this is so fkn good I am hypnotised by her voice , the harmonies.. the dips she goes into.. holy hell 🔥
I don’t know what rock I was living under where I completely missed this one LAV, arguably one of the best of all time. Absolute 🔥
Honestly watching her sing this makes me fall in love w her, the body language, the passion, the 11/10 cover - I'm trippin, so good so hot, amazing, sheesh
fun fact: this cover is so good that you read comments listening to it on repeat until you stumbled across my random comment pages deep.
Oh yeah. That's spot on.
True
holy shit. thats what just happened
love that her sister was there for the last like a version and this one too! awesome voices! :)
Bianca Crawford linda música baby
Ive been searching the comments to find out who the other girl was!!! Literally the two together are so good. Id honesty love something woth just her though, does she have her own music???
This was awesome. Goosebumps. Love how Meg is so reserved and quiet in conversation but completely commanding when she starts up on the mic. One of the best LaV of the year easily. Only thing which could have made this better would have been some strings for added thickness to the back-line.
Orchestrated this would have gotten into my all time twenty....and I'm a 55 year old music obsessive with a massive mental back catalogue. So that's a compliment.
There should be a warning before this starts on how sick it would be
I just love the idea that KP has listened to this and thought yeah this is really good!!
I can’t stop listening to this song. It is without doubt one of the best covers I’ve ever heard.
This song still gives me chills. So so so Good.
please get this on spotify ASAP!!
Let me preface this with the fact that Tame Impala has been my undisputed favorite band since I found out about them 5 years ago and it’s not even close. Likewise, Let It Happen is my favorite song. But this is better. This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard in my life. I’m listening to it for the 4th time in a row and I still have goosebumps.
My fave band too, and this made me fearful of listening to any cover of them, but I was very impressed. They balanced doing their own unique thing, without ruining the song.
I would listen to this version every now and then and let me tell you that I agree with you 100%! Tame is my all time favorite band but this version takes the cake
Cameron Clerici tame impala is one person
I saw her play this cover live at ANU last year, it was amazing, even better than this version if you can imagine it.
@Omry Goldwasser I was amazed when I found that out. He is a genius
Meg’s sister is so casual , like a Sunday afternoon . Great cover .
Did you know her name?
Leonardo Lanza Hannah . 🙂
this is taking background vocals to another level
wow one of the best like a versions I've heard! those harmonies.......
can we have a version of these without the intro because i keep listening to this and having my ears fkn blasted off
but fr i've been listening to this song multiple times every. single. day. since it was performed
Meg Mac covering Tame Impalas Let it happen is right up there with greatness of sliced bread. Can't get enough. Thank you!!!! 💕🔥💯
This has the potential for a Bond Song.
Damn! Those vocals are so tight!! Great Like a Version!
Ben Hollis i agree! Incredible!
Sisters/brothers often have voices that just mesh together... this along with shit loads of hard work and talent make these two just sound amazing together
I can’t stop listening to this song. It’s stuck in my head and I hope it stays. It’s hauntingly beautiful.
I've been coming here everyday since I discovered it over month ago. Please 🙏 put it on SPOTIFY
She sounds like Sia in this. I think electro / robotic / Robyn style dance music suits her voice so well. Her voice is rich and she is pitch-perfect in this track. I'd like to see her cover some daft punk. Go girl.
I've had this on repeat for the longest time. I really need all these LAV's to be available somewhere.
they're available on itunes, in full albums of the most recent ones
Every day
I always come back to this video religiously..
Let it Happen is one of my favorite songs ever. This was incredibly done.
The vocals during the breakdown……🤯🤯🙌🙌
Had this on repeat for quite a while now. I love the Original But this is like a whole new song, like it a lot
I fell in love when she said "Must be mornin"
I'm here today in Nov '23 on a Meg Mac binge.....! I return here often to witness this magical moment! Perfection!
One of the strongest voices in music at the moment
Thank you for your wisdom, o egg.
i love how she made it her own
Lovin it still July 2021
😍😍😍🙏
Probably one of my favorite Like a Versions!
Goddamn. I haven't stopped listening this for a week. I love Meg Mac - I love her album, I loved her gig that I went to... and yet I can't help but think that she should be getting Kevin Parker to write her songs, cos this is the best thing she's ever done.
Andy Gee on a related note, I would like to get Albert Einstein to do my math homework. And if Usain Bolt is free, he could sub in for me when we run the mile next week.
@@ericmalone1947 to
Love it. Feels like they managed to make it their own but kept the essence of the original.
It’s been 3 years since I discovered this cover and it still has me in a chokehold
same
Meg Mac is BRILLIANT!!! This version of Tame Impala's tune is haunting, beautiful and absolutely POWERFUL! Love from Tucson Arizona! 💟🌵💟
I've heard this version about 100 times and I'm still blown away. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezuuusssss
I really like how they put more emphasis on the final lyrics (which when it was originally recorded by Tame Impala was nothing but complete gibberish but Kevin Parker added lyrics later) and then finish with such an epic, soulful, rendition.
I can't seem to stop watchin this over and over
What a great version!! Outstanding!! It simply gives a complete new perspective on the song
this is seriously a perfect cover.. changed enough to add a whole new perspective but also keeping true to the orginal. awesome job!
Just wow!!!
Just wow!!
This is the most beautiful cover of thos this song ive ever heard. Thank you so much for your AMAZING TALENTS
Haven't heard all the triple j covers but this has to be one of the best if not the best. Feels less like a cover and more like a well rounded performance. Love it.
I’ve listened to her version like 800 times and it gets better everytime
Only 800. Did you just find this song last week?
this is seriously amazing! i love it
I listen to this weekly! So good. GOOSEBUMPS erry time. Oh Meg!
Goosebumps! Both the original and this cover are amazing!
I never thought I’d choose someone’s cover over tame impalas original until now; play this at my funeral pls
Digged her voice so much that this made me go look at her other stuff. It was a good decision!
No one will ever comprehend the depth of walking home to this of an arvo 4 years ago, singing about a whirlwind coming around, COMPLETELY unaware of what was yet to sweep me off my feet and hurl me so far from everything I knew
carrying off all that isn't bound.
and you're god damn right I wanted to tell my mother I'm sorry
thought I was seeing double, then realized its an essential harmony in duplicity: twins. brilliant sound
I wish she posted this cover on Spotify
maybe the best like a version. thank you for this
This version is stuck onto me, thank you it's beautiful.
Its amazing how they transformed the song but still kept the essence, big thumbs up
That's why i like covers. When it's good, it's turning to an amazing thing ♥️
WTF THIS SHIT IS LA FLAME, when's it going up on spotify?
Byzantium they prolly can't due to copywrite laws.
idk how copyright works in Australia but usually in the states covers of songs would fall under parody law and would be legal to put on spotify or apple music
I was not prepared for this to be so good and creative
I love the beautiful brightness of their voices as they harmonize ❤🧡💛
So so perfect im crying
WOW never heard of them but I'm definitely a fan this is exquisite holy shit mannn
the harmony is so beautiful, I'm hyptonized by the song
