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 TH-cam, but he was great when I saw them in 2013
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.
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.
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
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.
... 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.
kids r the best thing u can have in this life. Follow your dreams of course but make time to have and enjoy your kids. U won’t regret it but if u don’t u will be filled with regret. My 2 cents

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
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
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)
@@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
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.
I’m so glad Kev is finally getting the recognition he has so long deserved. Everything he puts out is a cultural pause-point. Can’t wait for him to sweep us off our feet with the Slow Rush
I watched SNL just to wait for them to play. I'm so glad o watched this!! This live version is incredible!! I can't believe how many times I've watched & re-watched this video!! Plus its just one of many songs that make me reminic of my beloved wife who passed only one month ago. I love you Robin!!
what an unbelievable performance these cats Are really polished especially Kevin. In Central Illinois we have no airplay from this group. when I get next to a jukebox I will play this and everything else they have And kick back and enjoy me a couple of beers some people like it some don't but I do! excellent production of sound.
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.
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 🤷🏼♂️
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.
FINALLY🙏 i’ve been trying to find this song for 2 years. I heard it on a local college station but caught the tail end of it. i tried typing in a few lyrics online, but no luck. Finally today, in a store and thanks to Shazam … is truly my hero. one of the most unique songs stopped me in my tracks❣️
do you know what I find so miraculous? not only this whole piece but as he sings 'I should be flying straight', it seems to me he is simply saying 'fly' and letting the note carry off to place this magical effect and wow maybe I'm reading it into it too much but this is so amazing, 2:09
This is one of those songs that I loved immediately upon the first listen. AMAZING. I never get tired of this tune!! (I'm old, so before this SNL appearance, I hadn't heard of Tame Impala.)
This song just popped into my head last night, and today it's a suggested video. I still remember seeing this performance on TV. I think I'd just woke up - which madevit feel slightly surreal, and I only listened on because they were jammin' at the start. Now I listen from time-to-time, because I identify with it deeply.
So good! Oh my god literally my favorite band ever. I love the groovy, 80s calming vibe. And the lyrics are true, soothing and have meaning. And all the instruments and your voice holy crap!👏🏾
It’s crazy how some artist need 5 producers to be an inch of how great Kevin is. Even live it’s amazing with me thinking I like the live better I’m which as a big production geek I’m gasped
I've only listened to it once since it's release. Might take me a few plays. My fav performance of them is when they perform "Love/Paranoia" on the same stage.
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.

They sounded fantastic! Their light show looks amazing! I am extremely bummed that I was unable to get tickets to their show in Pomona. Can’t wait for the album, though!
We just discovered Tame Impala & Patience on Sirius radio, while driving to Roswell, NM in June. We soon grew to love them. I'm counting down to the new CD in February. Kevin, you & the band are fab! Every instrument sounds beautiful! ☺🎸🎼🎶 💓
I never knew of this group until I saw them last night on SNL performing this song. What a great song and melody and I really like the 2:00 to 2:20 segment. Such a good band and singer. Thanks SNL!
Grooving to this sound...throwback sound ...✌️raised hip hop,then freestyle club,house and all Latin sounds to alternative rock to Tame Impala....can anyone explain please,I’m stuck in a world wind of sound n colors,psychedelic times
I remember the days we're this great band wasn't so popular..the great thing? to be uniqe,skilled and talented wins in the end.fame often changes something so special .. ♡
Kevin’s live vocals really have improved tremendously
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 TH-cam, but he was great when I saw them in 2013
I saw him in 2014. Horrible vocals. No offense great music though.
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.
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.
i think it’s because he’s getting used to it now tbh
This man is a gift to humanity, not sure if the masses truly realize it yet.
It's a team effort. Coachella 2013 is my favorite live video of theirs, and you can see it was more than just Kevin.
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.
@thebestever475 People find the strangest ways to gatekeep lmao
We do...
I know right?
Imagine having that voice...I’d never shut up
But it's his falsetto voice
Lol
We must keep this man alive at all cost
Kevin Parker is one of the most talented and creative artists of our generation. can't wait for the new album!

Justin Wollmann well Kevin Parker writes all the music and records it all himself

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
Arguably one of the best sounding SNL sets of all time. This dude is a wizard
It really sounds incredible. The mixing is perfect
They overcame it by playing with tracks and Kevin having his own sound man mixing vocals. Good job Kev. Reverb heaven!
backing tracks guys. come on.
So true...just incredible.
Dude, relax lay off the weed a bit
So hyped for the album!!!! Thank you Kevin!!!
Ey never met an Indian tame Impala fan, greetings bhartiya nagrik.

Another one. 😌
Count another one here.

Who the fuck is that

Marriage and Kids won’t guarantee a happy live
Follow your dreams will

Studio: How many phasers do you want on this track?
Kevin Parker: yes

Livin life in phasers
Kevin doesn’t work with studio engineers very much if at all when he’s recording his music
Man, this a tune for the ages. Don't think people have realised the brilliance of thid just yet.
Agreed with you here.
One day they will though!
I couldn't agree with you more man
People: how many trippy songs you gonna make??
Tame impala: yes
Sahil Singh this the best one. period
They sound normal when I'm on acid tho
As many as it takes
Deffinitely mate, right on point, best band to listen to when you´re swimming in the multiverse
(gotta be above it)
The fact that all of Tame’s music is just him speaks to level of artistry the guy exudes
what a groovy track, can't wait for the album to finally drop! Wish we could make it to the Pomona show!
Finally a QUALITY performance on SNL. Love these guys!!!!
You mean finally a quality backing track? You might as well be watching their music video for all the live performance you're getting here.
What a treat to hear two new songs performed live!
@Lea Fare Psc very "playbacky?" It's clearly live
@Lea Fare Psc they're seriously just that good
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
I think he got scared of the negative reception by some of the fans and kept it as a single.
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
Maybe for a B-Side and reworked

I'm a simple man
I see a Tame Impala notification come up
I drop everything and click
This blew my mind because I haven't watched SNL in years, but he just released this song like last week!
You're a simple man because you think repeating stuff that's been overused for years makes you funny
I hope they officially upload the new song Borderline on TH-cam. They have to
Amen
Lol same
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.
I absolutely love the 70s disco/Bee Gees sound of this! I'd love it even if it were instrumental.
Channeling Alan Parsons quite a bit.
This is jamiroquai nobody listen? And jamiroquai is much better
Wft where do u get that from? Lay of the pipe
try out stereolab’s captain easychord for some stellar piano like this
it kinda felt unreal watching Kevin sing like how can someone sound so good live
roblox queen! Honestly true tho
I think there is pitch control to keep him in the right notes
Holy shit he KILLED this. Really brought that 70’s Yacht Rock feel
I’m so glad Kev is finally getting the recognition he has so long deserved. Everything he puts out is a cultural pause-point. Can’t wait for him to sweep us off our feet with the Slow Rush
yea!
The Slow Rush needs this.
I watched SNL just to wait for them to play. I'm so glad o watched this!! This live version is incredible!! I can't believe how many times I've watched & re-watched this video!! Plus its just one of many songs that make me reminic of my beloved wife who passed only one month ago. I love you Robin!!
Omg me too
Im sorry JJ that is horrible:( She is definitely in a better place, I know your comment is 2+ years old, but my prayers are with you and your family🙏
Glad it brings you comfort.

Tame Impala playing Psychedelic Funk takes me back to the good ol' days of Kool & Gang, Cymande, all the other Funk artist in the 70s.
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.
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.
.Vaaskiii, bro
This is a regression. This new stuff is so disappointing. He’s basically made a generic pop album.

.Vaaskiii yep it’s called progression. It would boring if artists never evolved and just repeated themselves
This is a sharp song .. we need more music like this.
This song gives me weird nostalgia for some reason, like it gives me a visual of what I did in my life up until now.
This guy is a musical genius!

I can't believe it took me a year to love this song. Now I'm sad it's not in the new album.
Shitten my pants the best band who actually bring life back to this dead ass modern time on snl love it tame Impala thank you for this precious music
Sandra Oh wearing a t-shirt saying “Woman” is the most 2019 thing imaginable.
I actually like this live version better because his voice isn't drowned out by the instrumentals like it is in the official track
it's always a goose bumps when i saw them in stage, the vibes are different
do you know what I find so miraculous? not only this whole piece but as he sings 'I should be flying straight', it seems to me he is simply saying 'fly' and letting the note carry off to place this magical effect and wow maybe I'm reading it into it too much but this is so amazing, 2:09
that synth line played by dom is so smooth.
That piano at 2:44 holy Crap!!! Love this song endlessly.
Even if i prefer his first two records listening him live made my day welcome back tameimpala u make us happy
2:29 piano sounds different and beautiful here 💕💕💕💕💕
This is one of those songs that I loved immediately upon the first listen. AMAZING. I never get tired of this tune!! (I'm old, so before this SNL appearance, I hadn't heard of Tame Impala.)
I love this song and Borderline I’m so glad you can buy them on ITunes. Thank you for making such great music Tame Impala I wish you every success.
It feels at home from my childhood in the sixties and seventies. I find this band innovative in the present, thanks! Cool band'!!
The only man on whose tunes I'll ever dance! ❣❣❣
I hear the great music I grew up with in the 60s and 70s. Love this.
