Ru it’s a very good song. Kevin was wanting to be more sure of hisself and have a swagger which fits “yes I’m changing” since it’s about confidence and accepting change. Why won’t they talk to me is about being sad and lonely and not sure of yourself
charlotte ack. Why he’d be laughed out of the music business in half full glass of wine he wore his influences dry heavy on his sleeve. It’s a straight up cream tribute and if he didn’t evolve from the ep you’d just have the Beatles version of Greta van fleet
sometimes i envy his life ...but really ... i think it would be really hard. the extreme pressure of doing almost everything yourself... the incredibly high standard people hold you to, having complete control in the studio would be crippling in ways, and the isolation of working on everything by yourself and being the only one with the vision of the work. props to him for holding it all together. i'm a hardcore fan since innerspeaker.
Fame has its price. I mean he put psychedelic rock back into mainstream again, fans over the world adore Kevin, all the top artists badly want to him produce their music and such. But all these success, he just can't proudly show it to his father, who has died before Tame Impala rise to fame. That's why we can hear Kevin's grief in a couple of songs. I guess we cant have it all
lmao you just focusing the hard part, he's a fucking star, went around the world and totally made it with HIS music that is made only by him with masterpieces in all his albums.. that meaning all the fans love just you, not even a band. what a genius
I don't know if it's Kevin's idea or not, but there's a good bit of pressure on this album to succeed commercially. After touring quite a bit to festivals and mostly 4,000-seaters or so in the U.S. in 2019 (as a headliner), they're trying to make the jump to 15,000-seaters this year. That's a hard jump to make. Sure, they can sell out MSG in New York City, but Atlanta? Kansas City? Tulsa? They're essentially betting on "The Slow Rush" being a commercial hit (or the record company is, at least). I remember when R.E.M. made a similar jump, with "Monster" around 1995. But "The Slow Rush" is stylistically a departure, complicating things further. I hope it works out, though a part of me hopes they throttle back to smaller venues (like the summer sheds).
Specifically how comfortable she lets Kevin feel about opening up about his craft. Artists get put off on interviews by interviewers looking at their question while the talent is talking, or showing no facial expressions which in return gives off a “I don’t care” vibe. She’s class, not too pushy and also doesn’t let the interview get stale and boring.
English is not my native language. When I hear a song in English usually I download it or not for the music. This song called my attention because of the music and when I searched for the lyrics I just was even more liking it.
See the thing about the single version of Borderline is I already have memories attached to it. When I hear the original it takes me back to what was happening in my life 6 months ago. And I used to sing that bassline in the car and shower. The original was just kinda right for me...
Noemi Cortes YOURE gonna love it!!!! It was such a magical experience for me when I saw him! The performance was incredible!! I hope you have a great time!
I get it. His music is so perfectly In tune with the frequency of life, that who ever tunes in to IT, can later feel themselves drifting away from the music as their life changes, wanting it more, every time they remember it.
YOOOO i listened to this album on repeat in february when it came out, stopped and found myself missing going to school and being happy (i was the happiest and freest i had ever been in february) and so recently i’ve been listening to this album on repeat once again, to remind myself of happier times wowwww
This comment is gold. Especially for aspiring musicians that create music and want to connect to others. That’s how you do it. And it’s not easy at all.
His music is good but damn i LOVE him as a person and i really admire his personality and connect with him for that reason. Especially with his thoughts on nostalgia and time.
@@deandsilva9889 they are but that's why I said I prefer the single version vs The album version. I'm listening to the album on repeat but when I'm in the mood for some borderline I'll just pull up the single version.
I deeply wish Kevin would release a "Borderline (nostalgia edition)" with the lyrics and structure of the single version, but fulfilling his vision on what makes the new version better in terms of production and arrangement. The single version had so much meaning to me and though I also love the new one, I really miss the original
I love this interview; it seems so relaxed. Kevin inspires me when it comes to recording, producing, mixing and mastering everything, so just getting to listen to him talk about his approach and how he feels about his work helps me feel less bad about the trouble I run into
Lost in yesterday, is it true, and breathe deeper encapsulates my mind. It’s beautiful how I’m able to not only feel the music, but become part of it. It’s like I’m synced into the rhythms. It’s hypnotizing. Something i rarely feel with music anymore. Thank you Kevin Parker 🥺🥺
If you wanna feel more in touch with music. Look way further into Indie Music and Underground artists, most mainstream is basic but theirs definitely gems if you look into a certain genre more
“I forget that I have an ability to make music that can be emotional” that’s putting it lightly, Kevin Parker has changed my life with his music, he’s truly in a league of his own, he makes a type of music that nobody else does, this is music that will last longer than time.
I much prefer new Borderline. I understand missing the quieter section near the end of the track but the track as a whole sounds much punchier and works better in the context of the album
please kevin.......... please bring back the single version of borderline on spotify for those who prefer it. we should be allowed an option seeing as we listened to the older version and fell in love with that one for almost a year
Been listening since The Dee Dee Dums, his music has changed the whole way through and this album is no different, but it's still a pure joy to listen to. That's the magical thing that makes Tame Impala amazing
12:40 if anyone is interested in what Kevin is talking about here, please look up Jai Paul x Bronze - Jasmine. its a procedurally generated remix of an already incredible song where every time you listen to it, you get a completely unique experience. something we can see more of in the future
Kevin ! You’ve had helped me tremendously for the last 2 years and for that I’m eternally grateful! I love you, I love your swagger, and I can’t wait for more ! Can’t wait for the tour to start up again !
Can somebody please tell Kevin to please release the original borderline. As much as we can compliment the current one, the original really gave me the feeling of my own borderline
Borderline was then and now listening to the whole album still is my fav of em all and i instantly loved the bass line. First thing i ran to the keyboard and played. So Kev, we heard it man 😎✌
KP is one of the most influential musician of the decade, and I'm a big fan of him since day one. This album came out when i was drowned in my deepest sadness, then i heard On Track and crying a big time. KP really knows how to combine those magical lyrics with awesome music composition; it's very genuine and i really loved that. This album is a pure art. Thank you KP.
2 beautiful things happened on February 14th. I became an uncle and this album was released. Honestly this album speaks to me right now and elevated Tame Impala/Kevin Parker in my list of favorite artists.
I didn't want this interview to end :( ✨🖤 Love Kevin, I'm loving the new record and can't wait to see him live. Also the interviewer was amazing! Great job!
theres something about his music that feels like “dont worry just give in to the experience and you will feel free” its like he somehow extracted the feeling of a psychedelic trip into chord progressions
Yo. I understand his thought process. When you are working on a lengthy project, you will most likely lose some sort of perspective. And when you realize you got off track, you pull yourself together and you tend to realize how awesome, original and passionate you are about your songs. Then the next recording sounds super nice.
i mean a lot of painters had different versions of an earlier painting they recreated later in their life, to reflect their maturity, mood, skill and observation
He seems like such a nice guy to talk to, you could probably talk about anything and he’d be okay with it. I think that his views on the album are so cool, and it’s great. I totally agree with his theme and views of moving on, and it’s so interesting, too. I sometimes have overwhelming nostalgia and longing for things to be like they used to, but this has helped me realize there is still hope left for the future. Thanks Kevin!
There’s no one that even comes close to his production and story telling either through a single or though a full album, literally gives u the key into his life’s issues etc through the first three albums but we all have our bad days and this interview is not one of his finer moments 😂 bless ya Kev u legend now go to sleep 😂
that's funny when he first released borderline as a single the bassline itself is what I only heard lol the 2nd version is definitely more clear in the instrumentals and the bassline is accompanied by the bass synth. Both versions are cool, interesting how people 'listen' and dissect music differently.
I dreamed once I was on the concert of Tame Impala listening 'It feels like we only go backwards', and I had that moment of deja vù when I finally get to that song in a concert of them.
I just finished the album and it really reminded me that he was a drummer first. As a percussionist I was stoked to hear vibraphone on the first half of the record and so much auxiliary throughout. Also I super related to when he said he plays drums in his head while watching movies 😂 Definitely could hear the Kanye influence all the way through. Something I would’ve probably hated 5 years ago but really dig now. The whole thing sounds like a tie-dye of 70s everything, 00s pop and hip hop, and like a dash of new wave, but at the same time the production is so cutting edge. But the point he makes about “what if music wasn’t this finished product, it’s not like a painting” hit good. That’s how (most) music was for hundreds of years before recording tech completely changed the game; not even 100 years ago! If artists’ attitudes toward the music are starting to look back to older times, I’m so glad to be a part of the game.

his speaking voice is so much deeper than his singing voice. love his vocal range
You should see his old band the dee dee dums he actually sings in his speaking voice on a few songs at least instead of the falsetto he later adopted

Breathe Deeper is a game changer
IT IS
Agreed.
747lch it’s beyond time and space tbh
It's my favorite song on the album I think. Stellar drums, bass, and piano
That's funny, Breathe Deeper is my least favorite on the album.
Kevin seems far more assertive and confident than other interviews ive seen him in
She sets up the questions well and doesn’t leave a lot of empty space
It's a natural conversation, she adapts to the answers. He sees through the bs questions most interviewers ask.
She was a great interviewer
+2. Imagine the outrage of a non-fan trying to interview Kevin Parker for triple j. Big up Triple J (and pretty interviewer lady of course)
Her name?
She ain't no Linda tho..
@@Panthercholo check the vid description
@@mot00rzysta Gee, thanks for the help. What you wrote was more letters than typing her name.
I just love how he is trying so hard to stay as much calm as he can when she mentions the drums...but he's too excited! So passionate!
She’s such a good interviewer!!!!
She sure is 👍💯👩
She told Kevin Parker's songs and he told her that what is about.
Indeed
Specifically how comfortable she lets Kevin feel about opening up about his craft. Artists get put off on interviews by interviewers looking at their question while the talent is talking, or showing no facial expressions which in return gives off a “I don’t care” vibe. She’s class, not too pushy and also doesn’t let the interview get stale and boring.
Yeah. You right tho. I was just thinking the same thing. And, I dig his responses. They seem pretty heartfelt.
Still probably the most relatable artist I've ever heard

musical genius right there !! his songs will be even more popular in 10 years, watch that happen , cause its way ahead of its time !
The only reason I can imagine he’s promoting his already much anticipated album is because he really wants that Grammy next year

Definitely could hear the Kanye influence all the way through. Something I would’ve probably hated 5 years ago but really dig now. The whole thing sounds like a tie-dye of 70s everything, 00s pop and hip hop, and like a dash of new wave, but at the same time the production is so cutting edge.
But the point he makes about “what if music wasn’t this finished product, it’s not like a painting” hit good. That’s how (most) music was for hundreds of years before recording tech completely changed the game; not even 100 years ago! If artists’ attitudes toward the music are starting to look back to older times, I’m so glad to be a part of the game.
This album is a gift from life, thank you Parker, thank you Tame Impala
