I just realized... The scene where the plane goes through turbulence, notice how the other 3 people shown are "asleep" and not waking up to the plane crashing. It seems like they've already accepted their deaths and he's next on the "plane" to accept it. This video gets deeper and deeper the more you watch it and I love it.
Another interpretation would be that he is hallucinating / dreaming. When he takes one seatbelt off , 3 appears meaning he cannot escape death. Same thing with the sandwich, it's talking to him , only he can see it , only he can the plane go havoc , only he knows it's gonna happen. Good pov though
I choose to think those 3 sleeping people are the ones who don’t care about living anymore, they’ve given up. The reason he has so many belts put on him is the fact that everything is just telling him to give up (even his sandwich xd) and as the plane is crashing he still wants to live. So rather than just accept it and give up with the others on the plane he tries to escape and thus is able to go on to the next life gracefully, knowing he tried everything to stop it, rather than just going down with the plane.
So everything that happens is within the few seconds that he dies on the airport floor. His mind spends every alternate universe where he would have made another decision that morning ... All possibilities culminate in his death. This song touches me deeply, I think maybe in everyone who experienced this feeling of death close by. A song about accepting death, about accepting life. Don't wait to let it happen only when there is no more choice.
Kevin Parker made a statement summarizing the whole song, "finding yourself always in this world of chaos and all this stuff going on around you and always shutting it out because you don't want to be part of it. But at some point, you realize it takes more energy to shut it out than it does to let it happen and be a part of it." This song and quote changed my entire life.
Thank you so much! People are so closed to the idea it's just about death. I think it could be more about psychedelic trance ego death. Your quote helps me see there's more!
I'd rather keep on shutting out people's horrible sense in fashion choice and choice of music, and let's face it why would they care for me, unless they're family or a friend, besides there's a lot of ugly people out there, but I do believe in being free once you die
@@notaplasticexistence at least it should get taken carefully & not followed universally, as the past of my home country during the 30s & early 40s shows...
The best feeling is waking up from a dream where you did something terrible or something really bad happened to you and you realize it was all a dream. The worst feeling is having something really good happen to you and then waking up to the stress of reality.
The worst feeling is when you can't believe what is really happening and for a few seconds you think you're about to wake up, but instead you have a face-crash with a tragedy
@@tulipstone the brain organization use the time on the dream differently to about when you are wake up . When you are wake you have remember the last picture of your dream so you feel like all thing you have on the dream was a few minute.
It’s a feeling of remembrance. It’s like “Oh, that’s right. Now I remember. This is where I came from.” I had that experience once but it wasn’t my time so I came back. They want you to know They love you infinitely.
I really like how he tries to take off his seat belt at 2:36 just to find three more seat belts holding him in place. No escaping the inevitability of death. Great song, great video.
Yes! I listen to the entire song just to hear the moment that guitar kicks in. Funky lick with incredible tone, and it perfectly dissipates the tension the melody before it built up. 10/10, chefs kiss
at 3:34 when he stops fighting against the fall and begins to accept what's happening, the way his face changes from tormented despair to warm happiness is so good man. I hope that's how we all feel when our time comes and we face the maker.
@@lokesterridk if something amazing, but, imagine dying as an old person, yeah its sad but you did everything you could do in life, you completed your life
His calm acceptance at the end really makes me feel something. I see this music video as him letting his old self die, the one that was so attached and worried all the time. The plane is his journey through it and he initially tries to fight it only to have more seatbelts strap him in, the only way through is to let go, which he does at the end. I love it.
The defibrillator scene is simply perfection. From the actor's body movement to his outline syncing with the lightning in the dark clouds behind him and everything fitting so well to the rhythm. It never fails to make me cry.
I thought the exact same thing!! From how it mirrors the 3 separate realities of him dying, to how it shows him being dropped into position with the lines of his body echoing out with the defibrillator's shocks, to the windiness creating further chaos/ethereality around him, just-- ugh, so, so good. My absolute favorite part of this video.
omg omg, i was literlly thinking the exact same. the movement, the music and the lightning is just so fucking... ahh, eyegasm and eargasm i´m not going to lie. finally people relate the same!!
The visual metaphor at 3:12 is stunning. It draws a parallel between being resuscitated by a defibrillator and being stopped mid air while falling into the abyss (the latter can be a stand in for any form of dying). The shocks of the defibrillator bring him back to life are visually shown to be similar to a string yanking him still while he’s falling down (note how his chest is extended upwards, held up while the rest of him is limp to the side, still beckoned by the gravity,the inevitability, of death). Trying in vain to stop his descent into the abyss.
Here's another detail!!!! When hes in the air and the white shock waves effect happens, the waves break the boarder (in other words, they go above the black lines at the top and bottom), nothing else does that in the video other than the shock waves in that scene
The scenes where the man is suspended in the darkened clouds as they are shocking his heart to bring him back are so beautifully done. I love how he's suspended and writhes his body around, and then the white graphics trail out from around him as they shock him. Cinematically this is really beautifully done.
Thanks for putting this into words, I was just feeling the same way - great video overall, but that part really sticks in my head! I also love the bit where it transitions from him being on the plane looking at the giant alarm clock to being back in the hotel room - the actor does a terrific job of portraying the confusion and panic.
That moment at 1:50 reminds me to when I almost died of internal bleeding back in 2023, was working at an office when i sarted puking blood and passed out multiple times, had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital were they saved my life. Thats a realistic portrait of how it feels, everything starts to sound muffled and you feel your vision backing until you see everything far away, as if you were on the back of your head, then you dont feel anything and suddelny you're having hallucinations. I remember going back and forth through this until the paramedics arrived.
i had the same internal bleed issue - except I was shidding blood lmao. lost about 2 litres, GI tract bleed the resignation to death, the quietly thanking the staff and leaving them to their "world" as you pass out to consider your "world" which you feel to be something different to theirs... I'm so grateful to the drivers, the ambulance team, and everyone who helped me. When i was first given fluids it brought me back a bit and I was very shaken, but even the cleaning staff stopped to comfort me. I'm glad I made it. I'm glad you're okay now, it's strange to share this feeling.
I hear that a lot from near death experience reports, that when you reach the point where your consciousness begins to disembody you often perceive your body from the third person. My mom had an experience like that when she was getting her tonsils removed as a child. She was floating above her hospital bed and saw the doctors and nurses rush in and gather around her head. They were trying to resuscitate her body. She saw a scalpel in one of their hands and she was trying to yell at them to not cut her. She was eventually sucked back into her body and into a sleep state. She woke up later.
The actor was perfect for this. The way he's looking around when you first see him, his expression after dunking his head in water, his eyes when he's being hit by the defib, and then his smile when he finally accepts whats happening.
Its amazing that the song is about acceptance to death. the guy obviously dies in the very beginning, hes on the metaphorical plan taking a trip to the afterlife. he fights it the first time, playing back to earlier that day, where he could have done something, anytthing, different in order to save himself. the second time hes on the plane hes confused by whats in front of him, and is scared as death takes him. He lets go of the only thing keeping him grounded to reality (the seat) and allows his soul to move on. The afterlife takes him and brings him to the light, and since hes given up the fight, nothing the paramedics could do would save him. I cant tell whats better, the representation of the song or the actual song itself.
Also, the confused face and act he has at the beginning, is showing our stressful and empty modern lifestyle. It's all work and a being scared of "whirlwind" taking everything if we don't fit in the system...
I’ve been coming back to this song every day since my father died. I hope it was easy for him, I hope he wasn’t in pain before he passed. My heart is crushed, this video makes me feel like his travel to the afterlife was a kind one.
Yeah, this music video makes me so sad. I feel so bad for the guy (and yes I'm aware it's fictional, my guys). At least wherever he's finally headed looked pretty sweet.
@@marie3542 Yup, that's why it strikes such a chord. I've been in jobs where I was so stressed I was crying in bathrooms on the daily. The concept of dying while being that stressed and anxious is a real sad tale.
At 0:30 right as he sings, "Let it happen", the plane takes off directly through his chest at the exact moment his heart gives out, and I believe it symbolizes his soul exiting the body. Fucking incredible detail.
Also, I noticed that as the medic uses the defibrillator on him, he has lines of light that burst off around him and that escape the black borders, the only thing that does escape the borders in the whole video. I wonder if this symbolizes his soul struggling to leave the body as the medic tries to resuscitate. I noticed that during the 3 shock attempts, he takes 3 different poses. The last pose looks a lot like the "Hanged Man" tarot card, which makes me wonder if the other first two poses also have significance.
As someone who struggles to accept death and moving on, there is something SO special about this song I can't describe it. It's helped me come to terms with stuff and 'I was ready, all along,' is in my head 24/7. When my mental health is bad it's there, when whatever is happening it's there and I accept my readiness. I can't express how thankful I am for Kevin's work.
@M K I'm not here to knock your belief but as a person who questions things, why do you people keep saying that, over and over? It never happens and you keep waiting for it to do so. I don't believe in fairytales or sky master's but if that's your thing, then so be it.
This is the exact feeling of a spiritual awakening. Hearing this song from time to time awakens a remembrance in me. Makes me see the truth on a whole different level, ascending. Seeing trough the illusions of the constructions in society. My soul has something much bigger for me. Gives me strength! This song is fuel
I dont know why but even after like 20 times of listening this track I get chills everytime at the part when Kevin sings "and if I never come back, tell my mother im sorry" and the melody kicks in. Even tho I like album version more I think this is great "radio edit" of my favourite currents song.
Theim Ipa the fact that the video captures that PERFECTLY... seeing as how that's the only line that 'someone' speaks in the entire vid... just... perfect PERFECT.
Just went through a heartbreaking experience and i found this song while at my lowest, and from this song i started to learn to let go of that special person and slowly building myself again, thank god i found this at the last moment.
Man the drummer Kevin Parker is so good. I also love their guitarist Kevin Parker, but while the bass is pretty good and Kevin Parker is very talented. The vocals by Kevin Parker are the best part by far..
The video really drives this point home. Who the hell cares if you make that flight? Who cares how big your hotel room/apartment is? You could die at any moment. Do what makes you happy.
I just realized, “something’s trying to get out, and it’s never been closer” is a hint to his soul trying to leave his body on the final moments of his life. The music video is genius
This video represents all of my worst fears at once - loss of control, lack of understanding, loss of reality and death. They almost mix together to form a strange mixture I can't quite describe but this video somehow represented perfectly.
@@ashwinramesh4186 I have never been a religious person (with respect to those who are) and have made that observation myself! Religion capitalizes on the primal fears that are engrained in our DNA and changes over time to become more "believable." The true beauty of it is how religion takes advantage of human nature.
This makes me hopeful for an afterlife where all of the people in this crazy world with crippling stress, anxiety, and difficult situations can finally rest and be at peace. My father died a couple of months ago. He came to me in a dream. He looked younger, maybe in his twenties or thirties. He told me "I'm okay son." and we just hugged. At some point I realized it was a dream and I hoped the dream would last forever. I'll see him again someday.
You know there doesn’t need to be an afterlife for there to peace after you die. The ceasing of your consciousness should is the ultimate and endless break from reality since you can no longer feel or think and just be and not be. Sorry to hear about ur dad mine died in November a few months ago. He wasn’t doin to well here on earth and I’m happy he can finally stop hurting. But don’t be scared of what comes after death as a can assure you it’s most likely just nothingness. But try to find comfort In the fact that that one day you no longer have to worry because all you’ll become is a memory for your love ones to pass on from generation to generation, unless u become famous then you kinda live on in a lot more peoples heads
I was high when I found this video. An amazing work. I can see how the man's emotion gets changed all the time. From frustration and tiredness in real life, he's become free, finally. This is all my interpretations, and I hope what I guess was right about the intention of this artwork.
I saw some live performances on TH-cam. I love the band, they're brilliant really. I know he doesn't have a great voice, but it fits well with the overall vibe. I'll go to see a concert when I'll have a chance. Thanks for sharing your experience!
For a song thats 5 years old, this song easily sounds like it can be released 10 years from now and no-one would bat an eye because of how timeless it is
I can’t even describe what I feel when listening to this song. There’s no way to articulate this kind of deeply sitted feeling in the soul. What a piece of magic this song is...
When I was in middle school, I had an extra nerve in my heart that would sometimes cause it to short circuit. I'd spontaneously get tachycardia where my heart would race rapidly and not pump blood efficiently. Similar to how a roller coaster can make your stomach feel weightless, I'd feel like I was falling even while standing or laying down. The lack of oxygen in my blood would make my vision narrow... Even the feeling of a constricted chest or feeling trapped by your own body is all brilliantly depicted with the numerous buckles from the airplane seat. They nailed all the sensations: The pain, the panic, the confusion, the calm, and even perception of reality during brain death. This video REALLY reaches me on a raw and primal level.
My first time hearing this hidden gem and I’m honestly glad I found it now. Came to me when I needed it most. Sometimes life is unfair, Actually life can be unfair all the time. But as humans every day we gotta shut up, sit up And keep moving because that’s what makes us amazing. How we handle the hardships and how they make us stronger.
2:48 At first, i thought these lyrics where meant to be from an anxious person that about to let it rain. But then i realized that is the guy refusing to die, thinking that he will overthrow this situation, but after that, he just accepts it, and feels good.
for those that don't know, Tame Impala's music is all one man: Kevin Parker. He's a freaking genius and gives multi-instrumentalist / home studio musicians like myself inspiration, hope and massive jealousy.
Last night was crazy for me I felt a sense of unease I try to ignore it by sleeping But every time my mind is about to sleep I felt something clicking my chest waking me up And it goes on for hours And it makes me feel like I'm about to die or something bad is going to happen to me Coincidentally my dad is awake to pee I told him and asked why can't I sleep? He comforts me and says "it's gonna be alright I'll always be on your side until you fall asleep" I always thought he dislikes me I always thought he thought of me as weak But every time I needed him he's there for me I love you dad.....
3:12 - 3:18 This fragment feels like awareness. I've never come across songs that feel like a turning point. I am a very closed person, and it is hard for me to open up to people, I have problems with trust. But these lines and the song itself make me feel more confident.. Let it happen. Let it happen. To not regret in the future. And it doesn't matter if it's a mistake or not.
Baby, now I'm ready, moving on Oh, but maybe I was ready all along Oh, I'm ready for the moment and the sound Oh, but maybe I was ready all along When you realize that your time is up and the moment you have been so unsure of your whole life is here, and it isn’t scary it’s beautiful. He realizes he isn’t falling, he’s flying. Chills
It's always around me, all this noise But not nearly as loud as the voice saying "Let it happen, let it happen (It's gonna feel so good) Just 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 a warning 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) So let it happen, let it happen 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 And if I never come back Tell my mother I'm sorry I will not vanish and you will not scare me Try to get through it, try to bounce to it All the while thinking I might as well do it They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid Take the next ticket to take the next train Why would I do it? And you wanna think that I will not vanish and you will not scare me Try to get through it, try to bounce to it All the while thinking I might as well do it They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid Take the next ticket to take the next train Why would I do it? And you wanna think that I will not vanish and you will not scare me Try to get through it, try to bounce to it All the while thinking I might as well do it They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid Take the next ticket to take the next train Why would I do it? And you wanna think that I will not vanish and you will not scare me Try to get through it, try to bounce to it All the while thinking I might as well do it They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid Take the next ticket to take the next train Why would I do it? And you wanna think that Oh, maybe I was ready all along Oh, maybe I was ready all along Oh, maybe all I wanted was the sound Oh but maybe I was ready all along
Same. I was in the back seat of one of my best friend's car with a ton of other great people. The first time I listened to it with my headphones on I was dumbfounded
I can't quite explain why, but his blissful expression toward the end always makes me tear up a little 🥲 I'm touched to see him, finally free from his pain.
@ladycplum EXACTLY 💯 like, we watch this poor man going through the motions of his high-stress life, he's married and probably never gets time with his loved ones, every day is a gamble with his condition, and then finally... At first, it was scary, staving off the inevitable, but when he finally lets go, his suffering is over. Crazy stuff 😅
Well, I hate to disrupt your optimism but the whole music video is actually a metaphor for opiate addiction. And well, he in fact, did _not_ let it happen at the end. I can explain more if you're interested.
this was my older brother’s favorite music video, he would play this whenever we would hang out in his room and say he pictured himself passing away like this. he was quite young but also had a stressful life full of work and had anxiety… six months ago he passed away suddenly from a heart attack ( genetic issues we never knew of ) and i swear this song saved my life. because after losing him and through the horrible grief, i also lost our place and all i had for a while was only his pets which i promised i’d care for. he was the closest person to me after losing most of our family to death. it was incredibly hard for me to process it, but i “let it happen”, i let him go… and the whole time i held on to his favorite songs including this one to find comfort. fly high erick, i love the gem you gave me to get through this. love you dude.
Me too... and when the next shot was of his glassy-eyed dead face, I choked up. I thought he was going to be saved and have a chance to live the rest of his life with an enlightened perspective; but no. Maybe something good will happen to him in the afterlife or wherever he's going at the end... but in this life, he fucking died.
The song is definitely about living life to the fullest and stop worrying. Tell the ones you love that you love them. We never know when the last time to say it.
This song to me seems to be about anxiety. Let it happen quite literally meaning let it happen; just let go and accept what happens. To me this song is about accepting that you can't always be in control.
I find more interesting and philosophical the "fear of death and its feeling" kind of meaning for this song. I didn't like the way Kevin view Let It Happen, he said it was a song about how we accept changes and just let them happen towards our life, that meaning feels a little basic, at least for me.
I percieved it that way as well, especially because I have health anxiety and am convinced I'm dying multiple times a day and I play out each scenario. Every. Day. Medication has helped but I found this song because I'm scrolling to distract from my current fears instead of sleeping.
Going through tough times , trying to figure out lots of stuff including what to do with my life & been thinking about death lately too much, just seeing this makes me cry hysterically, such a great song really makes me to try to calm down every now & then & try to relax & not to give in that bad feeling. Thank you tame impala & hats off to that fantastic actor , his facial expressions are just perfection 🫶
Lyrics : It's always around me, all this noise, but Not nearly as loud as the voice saying "Let it happen, let it happen" (It's gonna feel so good) "Just let it happen, let it happen" All this running around Tryin' to cover my shadow A notion growing inside Now all the others seem shallow All this running around Bearing down on my shoulders I can hear an alarm It must be morning 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 won't be holding on) So let it happen, let it happen All this running around I can't fight it much longer Something's tryin' to get out And it's never been closer If my take-off fails Make up some other story But if I never come back Tell my mother I'm sorry Bridge] I will not vanish and you will not scare me Tryna get through it, try to bounce to it You were not thinkin' that I will not do it They be lovin' someone and I’m not that stupid Take the next ticket to take the next train Why would I do it?

It might be "an ocean growing inside" instead of "a notion" since that lends itself to all the others seeming "shallow," but it could also be meant to be heard as both a notion and an ocean, since either way the person is becoming less shallow 😁. Thanks so much for commenting the lyrics for us all!
This music video is symbolic. The story is that this man is always busy, and is not happy with his life. He has a heart attack, so he is presented with three possible deaths. He goes through each one, while in the real life, an assistant gets paramedics to try to bring him back. The man finally realized that life has turns, and eventually lets it happen. The final scene where he's falling towards a light in the clouds is him facing death. The story is Rube Goldberg-like, and is very complex. The man didn't like change to happen, and in the end, it turns out he was prepared. Change was a being, telling him to just relax and let it happen.
interesting analysis but I feel like the last scene is his not him coming back to life, but rather he is coming to terms with the fact of his death, and after he just "lets it happen", he is at peace.
I had panic disorder for 3 years and it completely changed me as a person. This song was my companion through the whole journey of recovery and trying to make sense of life and death. Every time i listen to it, I feel deep sense of serenity. Thank you for this everlasting masterpiece Kevin Parker.
Listen to juice wrld, songs like Empty (SynBeats remix is my personal fave), Screw Juice, Legends, I’ll be fine, Rich and Blind and 900 more (this man literally has 2,000 different songs) have helped me thru suicide many many times. I couldn’t be more grateful 🖤
I would recommend seeing the movie Puss in Boots 2, The Last Wish. It has a lot to say on the topics of anxiety surrounding death and tells it beautifully. I know it's a "kid' movie", but it honestly portrays it the best I've ever seen in any type of media. Coming as someone who had my own 3 year period of depression and anxiety and who is now in "remission", as I call it, but can still always feels that part of me threatening.
@@navidvarzeghani2789 I'm not OP, but as someone who went through something similar, I can safely say that it's not something you "fully recover" from -- you just learn how to manage it better to the point where you're functional. Bad days are bound to happen and even serious relapses are possible. You never know.
This song actually kinda helps with grieving for my mom who died a year ago. It’s been so hard without her and I used to watch this video and stop at the part with the defibrillators because I did the same thing for her and it didn’t work, it was too late for her but when I watch the guy go from falling to flying up i feel better because I know she’s flying too.
Am I the only one that absolutely loves that part at 3:12 where the shock waves sort of go off frame and his body is reacting to the shock waves? It honestly gives me chills. Well tbh this whole video gives me chills because of how good it is
I think it's particularly freaky because the blending of reality and wandering thoughts like when something like an alarm clock works its way into a dream instead of waking you. They've just replaced sleeping with losing consciousness while dying, so it makes it seem like a realistically plausible telling of what it's like to die. Seriously fucked up but not in a bad way...
3:12 is intense, no doubt. Those jolts of electricity are piercing his dying dreams, and it was at this point that I thought he'd be drawn back into his body and be revived. When instead he died, I was blown away. The "jolts" moments became even more significant-he was on a one way trip, no going back, peace out. I just about choked up.
This song is so depressing and sad but in a good way? Its hard to explain but it feels like he got rid of his problems and got set free. And the song being about stress and anxiety and death just makes it a million times better
3:12 onward is just freaking amazing. I love it.

I just realized...
The scene where the plane goes through turbulence, notice how the other 3 people shown are "asleep" and not waking up to the plane crashing. It seems like they've already accepted their deaths and he's next on the "plane" to accept it.
This video gets deeper and deeper the more you watch it and I love it.
Another interpretation would be that he is hallucinating / dreaming. When he takes one seatbelt off , 3 appears meaning he cannot escape death. Same thing with the sandwich, it's talking to him , only he can see it , only he can the plane go havoc , only he knows it's gonna happen.
Good pov though
They're asleep cause its a dream he's having on his way to death. He died on the terminal, never got on the plane remember?
I choose to think those 3 sleeping people are the ones who don’t care about living anymore, they’ve given up. The reason he has so many belts put on him is the fact that everything is just telling him to give up (even his sandwich xd) and as the plane is crashing he still wants to live. So rather than just accept it and give up with the others on the plane he tries to escape and thus is able to go on to the next life gracefully, knowing he tried everything to stop it, rather than just going down with the plane.

Reminded me of that fightclub scene
it was to symbolize that he would be alone in what hes feeling
The others are just people that let it happen
@@iliveinadysfunctionalfamily286 ikrrr
So everything that happens is within the few seconds that he dies on the airport floor. His mind spends every alternate universe where he would have made another decision that morning ... All possibilities culminate in his death.
This song touches me deeply, I think maybe in everyone who experienced this feeling of death close by. A song about accepting death, about accepting life. Don't wait to let it happen only when there is no more choice.
felt this :(
Death is a life goal
I've had this feeling before my first ever bad trip
It ain’t that deep
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Kevin Parker made a statement summarizing the whole song, "finding yourself always in this world of chaos and all this stuff going on around you and always shutting it out because you don't want to be part of it. But at some point, you realize it takes more energy to shut it out than it does to let it happen and be a part of it." This song and quote changed my entire life.
Thank you so much! People are so closed to the idea it's just about death. I think it could be more about psychedelic trance ego death. Your quote helps me see there's more!
I'd rather keep on shutting out people's horrible sense in fashion choice and choice of music, and let's face it why would they care for me, unless they're family or a friend, besides there's a lot of ugly people out there, but I do believe in being free once you die
Dam ... I got that loud & clear... An epiphany explained in so many words..
I'll always resist this world, love the music, but that message is not good.
@@notaplasticexistence at least it should get taken carefully & not followed universally, as the past of my home country during the 30s & early 40s shows...
The best feeling is waking up from a dream where you did something terrible or something really bad happened to you and you realize it was all a dream. The worst feeling is having something really good happen to you and then waking up to the stress of reality.
The worst feeling is when you can't believe what is really happening and for a few seconds you think you're about to wake up, but instead you have a face-crash with a tragedy
@@tulipstone the brain organization use the time on the dream differently to about when you are wake up . When you are wake you have remember the last picture of your dream so you feel like all thing you have on the dream was a few minute.
Those dreams where your teeth fall off, and upon waking up you sigh in relief after checking all your teeth with tongue lol
@@herlock2 some say that when you have this dream your family member will pass away
I have these dreams all the time and noone passed away
Also, thats a terrible thing to say
3:34 that smile of hope! Thats how a Man wants to pass away. Peacefully. Knowing he's met his destiny.
It’s a feeling of remembrance. It’s like “Oh, that’s right. Now I remember. This is where I came from.”
I had that experience once but it wasn’t my time so I came back. They want you to know They love you infinitely.
I really like how he tries to take off his seat belt at 2:36 just to find three more seat belts holding him in place. No escaping the inevitability of death. Great song, great video.
It struck me that the extra belts were mimicking in his dream, the chest pressure felt by heart attack victims.
SANDSCORCHER underrated comment
Then when he finally let go he escaped
more like inevitability of life
oh I didn't notice that, pretty cool, thanks!!
3:12 to 3:18 is literally the coolest sequence I've ever seen in a music video. Love this song.
Yes! I listen to the entire song just to hear the moment that guitar kicks in. Funky lick with incredible tone, and it perfectly dissipates the tension the melody before it built up. 10/10, chefs kiss
Inteligent secuence
My favourite one!
I feel like I heard that one before.
Spot on!
at 3:34 when he stops fighting against the fall and begins to accept what's happening, the way his face changes from tormented despair to warm happiness is so good man. I hope that's how we all feel when our time comes and we face the maker.
I was about to comment something similar to this when came across your comment but dying of natural cause must be an amazing experience
@@lokesterridk if something amazing, but, imagine dying as an old person, yeah its sad but you did everything you could do in life, you completed your life
@@Franzinho_0802 i agree, let’s pray it’s how we all get to go
JUST LET IT HAPPEN
maybe this is what we live for... the moment of... absolute bliss.
His calm acceptance at the end really makes me feel something. I see this music video as him letting his old self die, the one that was so attached and worried all the time. The plane is his journey through it and he initially tries to fight it only to have more seatbelts strap him in, the only way through is to let go, which he does at the end. I love it.
Great deduction man wow
he had to let it happen
The defibrillator scene is simply perfection. From the actor's body movement to his outline syncing with the lightning in the dark clouds behind him and everything fitting so well to the rhythm.
It never fails to make me cry.
I thought the exact same thing!! From how it mirrors the 3 separate realities of him dying, to how it shows him being dropped into position with the lines of his body echoing out with the defibrillator's shocks, to the windiness creating further chaos/ethereality around him, just-- ugh, so, so good. My absolute favorite part of this video.
These two comments opened my eyes
@@waldennia5457 exactly
omg omg, i was literlly thinking the exact same. the movement, the music and the lightning is just so fucking... ahh, eyegasm and eargasm i´m not going to lie. finally people relate the same!!
Everytime i watch the video i notice new details.If you pause the first defib pose, his face looks like a skull 💀
The visual metaphor at 3:12 is stunning. It draws a parallel between being resuscitated by a defibrillator and being stopped mid air while falling into the abyss (the latter can be a stand in for any form of dying). The shocks of the defibrillator bring him back to life are visually shown to be similar to a string yanking him still while he’s falling down (note how his chest is extended upwards, held up while the rest of him is limp to the side, still beckoned by the gravity,the inevitability, of death). Trying in vain to stop his descent into the abyss.
Here's another detail!!!!
When hes in the air and the white shock waves effect happens, the waves break the boarder (in other words, they go above the black lines at the top and bottom), nothing else does that in the video other than the shock waves in that scene
Lol we get it it’s not that deep lol
Alright enough over analyzing this video I dont think it's that deep
That was beautiful. The structure, verbiage even down to the metaphor. Brilliant‼️😭❤️
💅👁👄👁💅 ok
The scenes where the man is suspended in the darkened clouds as they are shocking his heart to bring him back are so beautifully done. I love how he's suspended and writhes his body around, and then the white graphics trail out from around him as they shock him. Cinematically this is really beautifully done.
It is my favorite part of the video. Beautiful.
Couldn’t agree more, it’s so creative and beautifully done.
And the music around that part. It's a masterpiece
Thanks for putting this into words, I was just feeling the same way - great video overall, but that part really sticks in my head!
I also love the bit where it transitions from him being on the plane looking at the giant alarm clock to being back in the hotel room - the actor does a terrific job of portraying the confusion and panic.
That moment at 1:50 reminds me to when I almost died of internal bleeding back in 2023, was working at an office when i sarted puking blood and passed out multiple times, had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital were they saved my life. Thats a realistic portrait of how it feels, everything starts to sound muffled and you feel your vision backing until you see everything far away, as if you were on the back of your head, then you dont feel anything and suddelny you're having hallucinations. I remember going back and forth through this until the paramedics arrived.
very interesting
That's something... It's good that your ok
i had the same internal bleed issue - except I was shidding blood lmao. lost about 2 litres, GI tract bleed
the resignation to death, the quietly thanking the staff and leaving them to their "world" as you pass out to consider your "world" which you feel to be something different to theirs... I'm so grateful to the drivers, the ambulance team, and everyone who helped me. When i was first given fluids it brought me back a bit and I was very shaken, but even the cleaning staff stopped to comfort me.
I'm glad I made it. I'm glad you're okay now, it's strange to share this feeling.
@@AdamOwenBrowninghow did that happen?
I hear that a lot from near death experience reports, that when you reach the point where your consciousness begins to disembody you often perceive your body from the third person.
My mom had an experience like that when she was getting her tonsils removed as a child. She was floating above her hospital bed and saw the doctors and nurses rush in and gather around her head. They were trying to resuscitate her body. She saw a scalpel in one of their hands and she was trying to yell at them to not cut her. She was eventually sucked back into her body and into a sleep state. She woke up later.
This song inspires me to actually just let things happen. If I’m scared for something I know has to eventually happen, I just let it happen.
This comment is so great it's juSt-
_that pfp I'm wheezing-_
The guy is such a great actor.
Lowkey hot too
he literally didn’t blink. TALENTTT
wtf is his @
michelle His name is Michael Instone
ngl I thought it was Guy Pearce at first
The beat and guitar riff at 3:12 makes me have this like out of body experience every time I hear this song
People will think I'm dumb for saying this, but that should have came sooner in the song. Still a banger though.
FACT
@@Immafraid Think of it as a reward for sticking with the song for 7 minutes and 47 seconds.
that part during the live show was just a perfect musical and visual experience
The build up from there is amazing too
The actor was perfect for this. The way he's looking around when you first see him, his expression after dunking his head in water, his eyes when he's being hit by the defib, and then his smile when he finally accepts whats happening.
Everyone sayin how they wish they could hear the song for the first time again.....
But honestly for me each time i listen to it, it gets better.
Me too, I’ve always been obsessed
EXACTLY and it’s almost the best feeling I’ve ever had
Have you noticed how the sound in the beginning is similar to an alarm going off?
That's how all tame Impala songs are for me
the first time i listened to it I didn't like it, it's one of my favourite songs now
That build-up of tension and anxiety from 2:26 until that drop at 3:11 is just... *killing me* , spectacular, *bravo* .
Julieta Wapetona same happens to me. At first, İ thought im gettin heart attack and i love that felling
Its amazing that the song is about acceptance to death. the guy obviously dies in the very beginning, hes on the metaphorical plan taking a trip to the afterlife. he fights it the first time, playing back to earlier that day, where he could have done something, anytthing, different in order to save himself. the second time hes on the plane hes confused by whats in front of him, and is scared as death takes him. He lets go of the only thing keeping him grounded to reality (the seat) and allows his soul to move on. The afterlife takes him and brings him to the light, and since hes given up the fight, nothing the paramedics could do would save him. I cant tell whats better, the representation of the song or the actual song itself.
I’ve been waiting for someone to say this!!! You nailed it!!
Also, the confused face and act he has at the beginning, is showing our stressful and empty modern lifestyle. It's all work and a being scared of "whirlwind" taking everything if we don't fit in the system...
I think this is the perfect explanation to the video without getting too meta or over analyzing!
Wow you nailed the explanation of the video.
I’ve been coming back to this song every day since my father died. I hope it was easy for him, I hope he wasn’t in pain before he passed. My heart is crushed, this video makes me feel like his travel to the afterlife was a kind one.
after playing "the good part" several times, now my favorite part is this 0:48 this sounds like heaven
True
3:10 is the best one for me
Poor guy just wants to get home and relax. Instead he's overworked, stressed, dead, what a life.
it's not a life he's dead
Yeah, this music video makes me so sad. I feel so bad for the guy (and yes I'm aware it's fictional, my guys). At least wherever he's finally headed looked pretty sweet.
@@Spamhard what's sad is this is realistic fiction, this is some people's lives, a reality.
@@marie3542 Yup, that's why it strikes such a chord. I've been in jobs where I was so stressed I was crying in bathrooms on the daily. The concept of dying while being that stressed and anxious is a real sad tale.
I'm the 900th like.
At 0:30 right as he sings, "Let it happen", the plane takes off directly through his chest at the exact moment his heart gives out, and I believe it symbolizes his soul exiting the body. Fucking incredible detail.
Also, I noticed that as the medic uses the defibrillator on him, he has lines of light that burst off around him and that escape the black borders, the only thing that does escape the borders in the whole video. I wonder if this symbolizes his soul struggling to leave the body as the medic tries to resuscitate. I noticed that during the 3 shock attempts, he takes 3 different poses. The last pose looks a lot like the "Hanged Man" tarot card, which makes me wonder if the other first two poses also have significance.
Josh Hedge thats why i love this video so much, all the things you pointed out and more
Oh shit, that's true. But it's recorded on the airport and the plane is not fake, so it was a coincidence... very good placed coincidence
Josh Hedge I love how they sync their videos to the songs.
Beautiful comment
That bass line is ethereal
Yes
Dude when they distort it at the end I just want to do a rain dance butt naked

Bro made a masterpiece and left people addicted to this song. Honestly this is the realest, best, relatable song I've ever heard.
“If i never come back, tell my mother I’m sorry” -by the legend himself tame impala
Feeling this so so hard right now😢
@@ThaInfiniteVoid me too. but stay strong homie, but great days shall come
To me the best line of the song.
do not mean to ruin any spiritual moment, but it's tell my lover I'm sorry
@@spamdatgd6326 Google it , it's mother not lover
3:30 gives me chills this part is so crazy
Agreed that guitar riff slaps
The mix of knowing he died and him witnessing the afterlife
One more to make it an even 400
bro thinks hes walter white
The feeling
It start on 2:45
As someone who struggles to accept death and moving on, there is something SO special about this song I can't describe it. It's helped me come to terms with stuff and 'I was ready, all along,' is in my head 24/7. When my mental health is bad it's there, when whatever is happening it's there and I accept my readiness. I can't express how thankful I am for Kevin's work.
I feel the exact same way about this song.
Holy shit I also get that too
@M K I'm not here to knock your belief but as a person who questions things, why do you people keep saying that, over and over? It never happens and you keep waiting for it to do so. I don't believe in fairytales or sky master's but if that's your thing, then so be it.
@@mickeyrosa7226 the way the message is carried doesn't matter, only the message
This is the exact feeling of a spiritual awakening. Hearing this song from time to time awakens a remembrance in me. Makes me see the truth on a whole different level, ascending. Seeing trough the illusions of the constructions in society. My soul has something much bigger for me. Gives me strength! This song is fuel
This song's existence just isn't good enough. I want the whole world to know this song exists.
1/10 of a billion do so…
@@EliHudson-b1r Not.good.enough.

Excelente video ! Cuando en su mirada se nota como se va su vida...
How did I miss that little bit after seeing this so many times
Omg. Thank you for telling us that. I didn't even notice it after watching this for like a thousand times
Spoilies
I dont know why but even after like 20 times of listening this track I get chills everytime at the part when Kevin sings "and if I never come back, tell my mother im sorry" and the melody kicks in. Even tho I like album version more I think this is great "radio edit" of my favourite currents song.
The sandwich talking to him at that time 😂😂
Theim Ipa the fact that the video captures that PERFECTLY... seeing as how that's the only line that 'someone' speaks in the entire vid... just... perfect PERFECT.
Theim Ipa That's my fav line too
Yes! I was about to write that
Theim Ipa I hear it as "tell my *lover* I'm sorry". Am I crazy?
Just went through a heartbreaking experience and i found this song while at my lowest, and from this song i started to learn to let go of that special person and slowly building myself again, thank god i found this at the last moment.
This song is hittin hard during this quarantine
This is the only song stuck in my head rn and I’m not complaining😂
yeah seriously
Spencer Clark I have kind of said the same thing but different before I read the comments. This is perfect pandemic music. Embrace one and all!!
Yep. Not much we can do but hunker down, try to be safe, and let it happen.
yep
3:31 He is not falling, he is rising so when he finally realizes and accepts it... he finds peace
Baby, now I'm ready, moving on
Oh, but maybe I was ready all along
Oh I'm ready for the moment and the sound

Man the drummer Kevin Parker is so good.
I also love their guitarist Kevin Parker, but while the bass is pretty good and Kevin Parker is very talented.
The vocals by Kevin Parker are the best part by far..
Any problem with the Parkers?
At this point, the rest of the band is just a myth.
LOL
I thought John Parker was quite a good sandwich
The Parkers have 3 different Peter Parkers and 4 different Kevin Parkers. Makes sense
The first time I drove, this song appeared to me on the road. It was magical!
"I cannot vanish, you will not scare me" goes so hard ❤
Hate to break it to you but that part is just gibberish
Whether he wrote random stuff or not, it goes hard

@@Its_Zer0here it absolutely still does, let it happen is literally the best song of all time
This song really does help you just accept the present moment for what it is
Yes 👍🏻
OH MY GOD YES
The video really drives this point home. Who the hell cares if you make that flight? Who cares how big your hotel room/apartment is? You could die at any moment. Do what makes you happy.
i think its about panic attacks and how the only way you can overcome it is by let it happen
@@MegaFPVFlyererr I care if I make that flight?
I have never ever seen better story telling in a music video. 10/10, absolute chills.

@WAGGLE666 When vecna finds out you hate monsters: 3:12
Same here! Love the bit where he tries to take his seatbelt off and 3 more appear around him. Resisting only makes it harder.
I just realized, “something’s trying to get out, and it’s never been closer” is a hint to his soul trying to leave his body on the final moments of his life. The music video is genius
This video represents all of my worst fears at once - loss of control, lack of understanding, loss of reality and death. They almost mix together to form a strange mixture I can't quite describe but this video somehow represented perfectly.
miLa I get that I have the same, but it somehow gives me peace? Just this video and how it’s represented
Don't worry, let it happen...
You're woke! Actually, people turn to religion to control those fears. With neat, explanations that make sense to us
@@ashwinramesh4186 I have never been a religious person (with respect to those who are) and have made that observation myself! Religion capitalizes on the primal fears that are engrained in our DNA and changes over time to become more "believable." The true beauty of it is how religion takes advantage of human nature.
@@mila9162 may I ask, Have you read 📖 the Quran extensively? Please try reading it.
3:10 always hits hard
Alex Ottolini that’s facts
So true. This is one of my favorite tame impala songs becuase of that pert!
Goosebumps every time
I love just the instrument in that part, gets me hard.
True
This makes me hopeful for an afterlife where all of the people in this crazy world with crippling stress, anxiety, and difficult situations can finally rest and be at peace. My father died a couple of months ago. He came to me in a dream. He looked younger, maybe in his twenties or thirties. He told me "I'm okay son." and we just hugged. At some point I realized it was a dream and I hoped the dream would last forever. I'll see him again someday.
You know there doesn’t need to be an afterlife for there to peace after you die. The ceasing of your consciousness should is the ultimate and endless break from reality since you can no longer feel or think and just be and not be. Sorry to hear about ur dad mine died in November a few months ago. He wasn’t doin to well here on earth and I’m happy he can finally stop hurting. But don’t be scared of what comes after death as a can assure you it’s most likely just nothingness. But try to find comfort In the fact that that one day you no longer have to worry because all you’ll become is a memory for your love ones to pass on from generation to generation, unless u become famous then you kinda live on in a lot more peoples heads
Heaven. Come to Jesus Christ, and you'll see the best afterlife!
I got chills reading this. Because I’ve had similar dreams…
I get that
@@jussmarcuss3333 yeah but you can't appreciate it because it's eternal oblivion. Some of us want to experience reality, just without pain.
I was high when I found this video. An amazing work.
I can see how the man's emotion gets changed all the time.
From frustration and tiredness in real life, he's become free, finally.
This is all my interpretations, and I hope what I guess was right about the intention of this artwork.
3:08 to 3:24 were the best 16 seconds of my life
I fucking swear
Facts

they really cut the best part of the song short in the music video....

I"m 63 years old. Seen them twice in concert. One of my favorite bands. Let It Happen.
just saw them last week and it was the experience of a lifetime
I saw some live performances on TH-cam. I love the band, they're brilliant really. I know he doesn't have a great voice, but it fits well with the overall vibe. I'll go to see a concert when I'll have a chance. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Tame impala is'nt a band
correction, tame impala isn’t a band, it’s a single lone composer!
I'm 24 years old and they're coming to São Paulo for a concert this week, and I'm overflowing with happiness.
For a song thats 5 years old, this song easily sounds like it can be released 10 years from now and no-one would bat an eye because of how timeless it is
So timeless it could fit anywhere within a 15 year time period.
Exactly, you can't really tell, it could be released yesterday or 15 years ago, it's extremely unique and that makes it timeless
I'm going through some things right now. This completely visualised what I feel like I am going through. Thank you for making me feel less lonely.
In my experience it eventually gets better. I listened to this song every day in those times.
I can’t even describe what I feel when listening to this song. There’s no way to articulate this kind of deeply sitted feeling in the soul. What a piece of magic this song is...
A strong emotion just rushing through.... as if I can almost feel it in my soul.
Pleased don't miss the 'like a version' Cover from singer Meg Mac.
Thank you
Proof the soul exists.
@@mikehawkertz9237 its called reverb
When I was in middle school, I had an extra nerve in my heart that would sometimes cause it to short circuit.
I'd spontaneously get tachycardia where my heart would race rapidly and not pump blood efficiently. Similar to how a roller coaster can make your stomach feel weightless, I'd feel like I was falling even while standing or laying down. The lack of oxygen in my blood would make my vision narrow... Even the feeling of a constricted chest or feeling trapped by your own body is all brilliantly depicted with the numerous buckles from the airplane seat.
They nailed all the sensations: The pain, the panic, the confusion, the calm, and even perception of reality during brain death. This video REALLY reaches me on a raw and primal level.
That's tough Man....

THE BEST 16 SECONDS OF MY LIFE
I know right!!!
for those that don't know, Tame Impala's music is all one man: Kevin Parker. He's a freaking genius and gives multi-instrumentalist / home studio musicians like myself inspiration, hope and massive jealousy.
He hasn't made music in awhile or not that I can tell
He tours with members of the band pond
Yes....extreme envy right here.
Wow
he is really incredible. i discovered him after the song he did with Mark Ronson. they should write a whole album together.

Last night was crazy for me
I felt a sense of unease
I try to ignore it by sleeping
But every time my mind is about to sleep
I felt something clicking my chest waking me up
And it goes on for hours
And it makes me feel like I'm about to die or something bad is going to happen to me
Coincidentally my dad is awake to pee
I told him and asked why can't I sleep?
He comforts me and says "it's gonna be alright I'll always be on your side until you fall asleep"

But every time I needed him he's there for me

3:12 - 3:18 This fragment feels like awareness. I've never come across songs that feel like a turning point.
I am a very closed person, and it is hard for me to open up to people, I have problems with trust. But these lines and the song itself make me feel more confident..
Let it happen. Let it happen. To not regret in the future. And it doesn't matter if it's a mistake or not.

When you realize that your time is up and the moment you have been so unsure of your whole life is here, and it isn’t scary it’s beautiful. He realizes he isn’t falling, he’s flying. Chills
It's always around me, all this noise
But not nearly as loud as the voice saying
"Let it happen, let it happen (It's gonna feel so good)
Just 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 a warning
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)
So let it happen, let it happen
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
And if I never come back
Tell my mother I'm sorry
I will not vanish and you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to bounce to it
All the while thinking I might as well do it
They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid
Take the next ticket to take the next train
Why would I do it? And you wanna think that
I will not vanish and you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to bounce to it
All the while thinking I might as well do it
They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid

Why would I do it? And you wanna think that
I will not vanish and you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to bounce to it
All the while thinking I might as well do it
They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid

i’d trade any limb to hear this for the first time again

Same. I was in the back seat of one of my best friend's car with a ton of other great people. The first time I listened to it with my headphones on I was dumbfounded

Well, at least he went to heaven.
The whole song is a vibe , where the epic on starts from 5:30🖤✨
If anyone is wondering the actors name is Michael Instone
Thank you, Love 👍🏾
Of course he is.
Guy Pierce's second cousin?
Nah mate, the way he be trippin he's *Michael Toostoned*
He's really good
I can't quite explain why, but his blissful expression toward the end always makes me tear up a little 🥲 I'm touched to see him, finally free from his pain.
Damn, you too? I always get a bit misty-eyed. He's in so much pain throughout, but now it's over.
😢🙌
@ladycplum EXACTLY 💯 like, we watch this poor man going through the motions of his high-stress life, he's married and probably never gets time with his loved ones, every day is a gamble with his condition, and then finally... At first, it was scary, staving off the inevitable, but when he finally lets go, his suffering is over. Crazy stuff 😅
yeah same thing, after a long journey, he reached a happy ending. 🥲
Well, I hate to disrupt your optimism but the whole music video is actually a metaphor for opiate addiction. And well, he in fact, did _not_ let it happen at the end. I can explain more if you're interested.
I'm at my worst, and this song has just kept me going. Thank you Kevin.
Keep going 🎉
hope ur doing well
Keep on keeping on man!! Same!

Don't worry work hard and let it happen ❤👊
this was my older brother’s favorite music video, he would play this whenever we would hang out in his room and say he pictured himself passing away like this.
he was quite young but also had a stressful life full of work and had anxiety… six months ago he passed away suddenly from a heart attack ( genetic issues we never knew of ) and i swear this song saved my life. because after losing him and through the horrible grief, i also lost our place and all i had for a while was only his pets which i promised i’d care for.
he was the closest person to me after losing most of our family to death. it was incredibly hard for me to process it, but i “let it happen”, i let him go… and the whole time i held on to his favorite songs including this one to find comfort.
fly high erick, i love the gem you gave me to get through this. love you dude.
3:12 gave me chills. Serious. Goosebumps
Me too... and when the next shot was of his glassy-eyed dead face, I choked up. I thought he was going to be saved and have a chance to live the rest of his life with an enlightened perspective; but no. Maybe something good will happen to him in the afterlife or wherever he's going at the end... but in this life, he fucking died.
Gilliganfrog lol
Ree T yeah, this passage has something strong. It’s crazy
@@scabZable ayyy daft punk fan
@@simranlail8548 Yaaas man !!!
The song is definitely about living life to the fullest and stop worrying. Tell the ones you love that you love them. We never know when the last time to say it.
This song to me seems to be about anxiety. Let it happen quite literally meaning let it happen; just let go and accept what happens. To me this song is about accepting that you can't always be in control.
It's about death and letting go
I find more interesting and philosophical the "fear of death and its feeling" kind of meaning for this song. I didn't like the way Kevin view Let It Happen, he said it was a song about how we accept changes and just let them happen towards our life, that meaning feels a little basic, at least for me.
I percieved it that way as well, especially because I have health anxiety and am convinced I'm dying multiple times a day and I play out each scenario. Every. Day.
Medication has helped but I found this song because I'm scrolling to distract from my current fears instead of sleeping.
wow thank you
I agree
Going through tough times , trying to figure out lots of stuff including what to do with my life & been thinking about death lately too much, just seeing this makes me cry hysterically, such a great song really makes me to try to calm down every now & then & try to relax & not to give in that bad feeling. Thank you tame impala & hats off to that fantastic actor , his facial expressions are just perfection 🫶
Remember folks , this isn’t a band , it’s one man putting together so many sounds to create this roller coaster ❤
Ain't no way
Really?
@@invent842 yeah its kevin parker
Love from bosnia 🇧🇦
what??? ive been listening to some of his songs for years and just finding that out wth
that guitar riff gives me goosebumps. everytime.
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Tame Impala
I get those goosebumps everytime yeah
Do Brasil, big fan Tame Impala
Agreed I’d give my soul to play riffs like that
This has to be the best music video, ever. The metaphors and the acting are insane.

Lyrics :
It's always around me, all this noise, but
Not nearly as loud as the voice saying
"Let it happen, let it happen"
(It's gonna feel so good)
"Just let it happen, let it happen"
All this running around
Tryin' to cover my shadow
A notion growing inside
Now all the others seem shallow
All this running around
Bearing down on my shoulders
I can hear an alarm
It must be morning
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 won't be holding on)
So let it happen, let it happen
All this running around
I can't fight it much longer
Something's tryin' to get out
And it's never been closer
If my take-off fails
Make up some other story
But if I never come back
Tell my mother I'm sorry
Bridge]
I will not vanish and you will not scare me
Tryna get through it, try to bounce to it
You were not thinkin' that I will not do it
They be lovin' someone and I’m not that stupid
Take the next ticket to take the next train
Why would I do it? And you wanna think that
Baby, now I'm ready, moving on
Oh, but maybe I was ready all along
Oh, I'm ready for the moment and the sound
Oh, but maybe I was ready all along
Baby, now I'm ready, moving on
Oh, but maybe I was ready all along
Oh, I'm ready for the moment and the sound
Oh, but maybe I was ready all along
Have a good day :))
Thank you, it ads a lot
@@viktorpavlov6090 u welcome ;))
thankyou
I think it's, tell my lover I'm sorry
It might be "an ocean growing inside" instead of "a notion" since that lends itself to all the others seeming "shallow," but it could also be meant to be heard as both a notion and an ocean, since either way the person is becoming less shallow 😁. Thanks so much for commenting the lyrics for us all!
This music video is symbolic. The story is that this man is always busy, and is not happy with his life. He has a heart attack, so he is presented with three possible deaths. He goes through each one, while in the real life, an assistant gets paramedics to try to bring him back. The man finally realized that life has turns, and eventually lets it happen. The final scene where he's falling towards a light in the clouds is him facing death.
The story is Rube Goldberg-like, and is very complex. The man didn't like change to happen, and in the end, it turns out he was prepared. Change was a being, telling him to just relax and let it happen.
"Change was a being." I like it.
Bravo 👏
+42opendoors Thanks.
interesting analysis but I feel like the last scene is his not him coming back to life, but rather he is coming to terms with the fact of his death, and after he just "lets it happen", he is at peace.
+Chad Rickman Yep, that's what I think too. When the time comes he just lets it happen. Cause his life ain't hit...
+Sheldon Andre reading the end gave me mad goosebumps
0:43 - 1:20 always gives me goosebumps with the creeping hypnotic sound and the surreal visuals. What a masterpiece of a song
3:11
I agree totally
Literally gives me chills
@@spotieotie real af
Definitely my favorite part of the song too
2:49 play on 0.8 speed it hits different 😊
You'd never expect a guitar solo like that in this sort of song but when it hits, absolute eargasm!
You mean 3:12 ?
@@marauder1085 Yeah there's no guitar solo here, don't know what the first guy is talking about.
@@jonathanlgill it was more like a 🎸
Listen to the full song, this part hits even better.
Oh you mean the riff. Yeah no it’s amazing
Not only the song but also the video is an absolute masterpiece.
Indeed
Best music video I have ever watch even
This one is special. Timeless stuff right there...
Yeah man couldnt fit better to the song itself
I had panic disorder for 3 years and it completely changed me as a person. This song was my companion through the whole journey of recovery and trying to make sense of life and death. Every time i listen to it, I feel deep sense of serenity. Thank you for this everlasting masterpiece Kevin Parker.
give your heart to jeus cry out to god. true answer. i also like this song btw
How long did it took you to be fully recovered?
Listen to juice wrld, songs like Empty (SynBeats remix is my personal fave), Screw Juice, Legends, I’ll be fine, Rich and Blind and 900 more (this man literally has 2,000 different songs) have helped me thru suicide many many times. I couldn’t be more grateful 🖤
I would recommend seeing the movie Puss in Boots 2, The Last Wish. It has a lot to say on the topics of anxiety surrounding death and tells it beautifully. I know it's a "kid' movie", but it honestly portrays it the best I've ever seen in any type of media.
Coming as someone who had my own 3 year period of depression and anxiety and who is now in "remission", as I call it, but can still always feels that part of me threatening.
@@navidvarzeghani2789 I'm not OP, but as someone who went through something similar, I can safely say that it's not something you "fully recover" from -- you just learn how to manage it better to the point where you're functional. Bad days are bound to happen and even serious relapses are possible. You never know.
2:48 i love this part
Who doesn’t

This song actually kinda helps with grieving for my mom who died a year ago. It’s been so hard without her and I used to watch this video and stop at the part with the defibrillators because I did the same thing for her and it didn’t work, it was too late for her but when I watch the guy go from falling to flying up i feel better because I know she’s flying too.
You should also listen to “just breathe” by Pearl Jam too. I’m sorry for your loss
Hope ur all good bro
You will eventually meet her one day, bro :) She's watching you from above, smiling and proud.
Sorry for your loss. Your mother is probably flying yea.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mother loves you and is proud of you
Am I the only one that absolutely loves that part at 3:12 where the shock waves sort of go off frame and his body is reacting to the shock waves? It honestly gives me chills. Well tbh this whole video gives me chills because of how good it is
I think it's particularly freaky because the blending of reality and wandering thoughts like when something like an alarm clock works its way into a dream instead of waking you. They've just replaced sleeping with losing consciousness while dying, so it makes it seem like a realistically plausible telling of what it's like to die. Seriously fucked up but not in a bad way...
th-cam.com/video/osN55togDNw/w-d-xo.html
3:12 is intense, no doubt. Those jolts of electricity are piercing his dying dreams, and it was at this point that I thought he'd be drawn back into his body and be revived. When instead he died, I was blown away. The "jolts" moments became even more significant-he was on a one way trip, no going back, peace out. I just about choked up.
YES. I've replayed that part for hours now. The dude gives me major Bowie vibes. Great cast
I just love the guitar riff
you know the song is good when everyone is talking about their feelings..
well hello gojo sensei~

@@Commielover69 hell yeah
@@Commielover69 Hahah🤦🏻♂️😭
This song is so depressing and sad but in a good way? Its hard to explain but it feels like he got rid of his problems and got set free. And the song being about stress and anxiety and death just makes it a million times better
I totally agree
Are all Tame Impala songs Black Mirror episodes or are all Black Mirror episodes Tame Impala clips?
That’s a good question
both
neither?
Yes
