Loving the symbolism in this video! Jay has said this track was written during the COVID lockdowns, which is obviously reflected in the lyrics, but is clearly represented here by the small box that he’s stuck in. But that image doesn’t have to be limited to just that interpretation; it could just as easily represent the isolated life of an artist / perfectionist working on a project. The wall of faces that Jay is facing throughout the video seem to be people that inspire him or that he cares for in some way-I don’t recognize any myself, but one commenter pointed out that Cowboy John is on there in the lower left. These are the people that Jay bows to when he sings “welcome to service;” the people that motivate him to keep trying and keep creating; that help him through the isolation that he must endure to do so. Those that he truly “serves” and works so hard artistically for. These are obviously contrasted by the grotesque figures behind him, who to me could represent the music industry or even we the fans-unfamiliar and almost ravenous faces that are watching him from over his shoulder while he works. These are the figures that the woman in black bows to, which makes me think that in a way she represents a sort of fear of compromising or selling out artistically-obviously she evokes death as well, both the fear of it and of leaving artistic pursuits unfulfilled, and the death of Jay’s values as an artist. She is almost ever-present, perched on top of the box where Jay is working. And yet she is the one contributing the beautiful strings to this song, showing that at least being mindful of the things she represents (how little time we have to do our work, and the impersonal forces/masses that all artists must in some way appeal to in order to succeed) brings some value to the artistic process. Jay has always struck me as an artist who is very mindful of where that line is, and how to walk it without compromising his artistic integrity-“Out in the World” and “You Make Your Own Luck” being songs with similar themes in their lyrics imo. It’s one of the many reasons why I’m always excited to hear from him. Jay is the way!

Thought was great. Even better than the first single i reckon. Love the gituar tone, love the strings. What I love most is that it feels fresh feels new feels diffrent. I regret listening to the single now and not waiting to listen to the whole album fresh.
Watched GUM last night at Freo Social. OMG! The man is so impressive. We always knew but to see it in full flight 🤯 The Silents Ophelia cover fucking knocked me to my knees Thanks Jay ❤
All the legends before us Through uncharted territory And uncertain darkness Through mud, and pain, and poetry Till they shone bright like the sun Now it's our turn to see What we could become... (don't wait for your life to be over)

You mean it in a good way or not? I think we have even more choices to progress in music. You can get 60s music sounds and put them together with modern ones and it sounds ethereal and half nostalgic. What even is half nostalgic? Can something feel half-a-little-familiar-even-though-I-experienced-it-or-not? You can give so much emotions it is overwhelming. But emotions are only a teeny bit on the enormous universe. How many art stuff are there other than music? How many stuff are there? Is it infinite? How can it be infinite? If there are infinite stuff in the universe, how are some parameters finite? When all of us dies, will we be a consciousness that is doing nothing? So we will be nothing, we can’t be something if we are doing something that is not a true thing. But what even is true? Am I true, are you true? Well, you are seeing this from your own consciousness but I will never be a trusted person if we are talking about the most truthful truth. The most truthful truth actually is the fact that you will never know what is true or not, but that doesn’t mean we can’t trust each other in a day-to-day sense. That would never help us, it just makes us paranoid. Internet is really cool, how can someone that is not an adult know about these things? Now that I genuinely think about it, that is a weird thing to say. Anyone that has the source and will to understand it (except if it is hard to understand for that person or it’s a really complex thing, im talkin alien technology and stuff) will probably understand it. We have a pretty big source we call the Net. Someone that has the source probably is “smart”. Think about people that have a lot of books. But you can just be self aware, that helps you a whole lot. Being obsessive helps too. You probably have depression if you have obsessions though. A feeling that you can’t really control, if you are not thinking about antidepressants. But that sometimes doesn’t work:( Do antidepressants fix anything? What is fixing? Do we change ourselves and we call it fixing? Are we even ourselves, are we original? What even is original? Can we be truly original or, DOES BEING TRULY ORIGINAL CHANGE ANYTHING? No. It doesIs being incredibly self aware or having trauma the only solution to knowing a lot of information and not be a cocky person? Probably not, and my sentences don’t even have purpose, what is purpoimjustkidding:)))) I am so boreeeeeeddddddd I need to do stuff. I cant. Hell, even saying I 3 sentences in a row makes me feel like I am being self centered. I need to do music and I did a lot of things to start it. I cant start a new music project, last was 8 months ago. Why do I need to be in such stress in this age? But I dont hate it. If I didn’t have it, I wouldnt learn so much and do so much this fast. I am incredibly grateful for this. I want a psychologist. It feels good to talk to myself but sometimes I cant. And I am dependent and touch deprived, I unconsciously text my loved ones if they wanna do something every single day. I don’t have a chance, of course I wont find the perfect friends and psychologist, but even if that happened, I will just want more. It doesnt change anything in terms of progressing. NEED PROGRESS NEED PROGRESS. It is a need, I cant live without creating art. Every good thing is an obsession. Happiness is obsession. Yes, every good thing is happiness. I have at least three topics I want to talk about, but people will just take this as a copy pasted paragraph. I am so done with my life. I am not done with my life. But after I am done or not, I will die. It is the only thing that is infinite, death. I am only a person, why? Why do I need to experience infinity and nothing? That is too much, thinking about it is TOO MUCH. Oh my god. Why did I write this? But I gave so much thought in it and I cant think about it as something I wrote for myself although it is. How can I stop writing? Ok. Bye. Please live a great life, no need to be grateful, everybody can change, time heals anything, elveda.
@@user-rp6ol2hx5f Be here now, in whatever this thing is we call consciousness. Love self. Love life. Accept your mistakes, but try to do better. It's okay to be depressed, or anxious. It's okay to feel. It's what we do about it that matters the most. Love yourself. Love music. Edit: it's okay to question whether or not the meds work. I think you know what I mean.
You found the song I knew was out there. Yes..its definitely coconut Grove...David Lee Roth did a remake on Cocnut Grove, so maybe TI paid for the riff/sample?
@@theonlyrealAJ It's a very common riff that's been used in a number of songs. I doubt anyone had to pay anything to use it. Besides, Jay makes his music on his own, so Tame Impala would have nothing to do with getting something cleared for GUM.
Jay is more than just a touring member of Tame; he's also one of the founding members of Pond and he releases solo material as GUM. This is his solo project, which he produces and records on his own for the most part, so no other members of Tame are involved.
Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day. His sinless blood is atonement for all sin for those who believe. Call on Jesus and your soul will be saved from hell. Praying for you all everyday. Even Jay and all you. Please don't reject God's only Son. I pray this in Jesus name Amen
@@ab8jeh 2cor5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him". Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." ///If you've ever been in courtroom about to be convicted of a felony it's a very very scary feeling. That is what will happen to you if you don't plead the blood of Jesus now for your sins. You'll be naked and ashamed in front of a courtroom at the great white throne judgment, and convicted guilty of sin punishable by eternal damnation in hell. For my judgment this I plea, nothing but the blood of Jesus. I call on him now and believe from the heart to save me from being guilty at the great white throne judgment. Humble yourself, admit that you are a sinner and call on the name of Jesus to cleanse you from all sin. I can tell your question is insincere and mocking. Nevertheless, I want you to be in heaven with me. I truly care about you from the bottom of my heart. Please soften your heart. Lord Father I pray for this soul Lord, let them know that I have nothing but love for them Lord and please soften their heart and warm it so they can change their mind before it's too late. Thank you heavenly Father in Jesus name Amen
@@lumix2477 I am genuinely interested in this, how one can think like this. It seems a bit like blackmail to be honest. I live my life in this world trying to do good everyday, be truthful, be kind - that's my philosophy independent of the church and the Bible. I'll keep doing those things without the threat of blackmail, I suggest you try to use your own thoughts and not those from a book. We don't need a book to tell us how to live a good life and be a decent person, it's a natural feeling from god - but I don't pertain to know anything about this god, nor what it might want from me - least of all one that blackmails me with threats of hell. Anyway, good day to you - I hope you learn to think for yourself one day.
@@ab8jeh the god of this earth is Satan and you belong to him. If you don't humble yourself and admit that you are a sinner and call on God's only Son Jesus and accept His blood atonement through faith to pay for your sins you will pay for them yourself in the lake of fire. The god of this world uses pride and arrogance and vanity to make you think that you don't need God when He is the only one who can save you. If you want to listen to the smartest Christian that I know his name is Dr Peter Ruckman. You are created by the Creator the all powerful, all knowing and omnipresent holy and just God. And there is one mediator between you and Him, Christ Jesus who says the good that you are doing to justify yourself are used menstrual rags. You are guilty of sin punishable by damnation to hell. Nothing but the blood of Jesus can save you. The reason you are interested in this is because you know it's not fake deep down inside. You are not worthy you never will be unless you receive imputed righteousness from God by accepting Christ blood atonement through faith.
Not the music we deserve, but the music we need.
YES. THIS IS THE WAY.
Wow, that's quite new GUM, and I really enjoy it. Sending love from Ukraine! 💛💙
