Tame Impala - Desire Be, Desire Go Lyrics






Feel it come, I don't know how long
It's gonna stay with me, I'll let desire be, desire go
Oh, dare I face the real world

Everyday, back and forth, what's it for?
What's it for? Back and forth, everyday
Everyday, back and forth, what's it for?
I don't know, I'll get out, won't have to check my watch

I don't have the verve to belong to this dead side
Why I ever tried, I don't know
Oh, dare I face the real world

Everyday, back and forth, what's it for?
What's it for? Back and forth, everyday
Everyday, back and forth, what's it for?
I don't know, I'll forget try to let desire be, desire go

Feel, feel it come, feel it come
Feel it come, I don't know how long
It's gonna stay with me, I'll let desire be, desire go

Tame Impala Desire Be, Desire Go Comments
  1. O.... ....

    i like the original on the debut ep

  2. M.... ....

    Wow... Like an updated copy / steal from "Can't See A Thing Till You Open My Eyes" by Nazz Nazz from about 100 years ago! But still a great cover.....

    M.... ....

    Wow! That's some hardcore hipstership right there :D

  3. C.... d....

    This songs reminds me of beaches with people talking and being happy there (Rio, for example).
    I love it so much!!

  4. v.... t....

    I'm obsessed with tame Impala's music so much that I'm trying to make songs in his genre to keep the genre alive and promote good music like his, here's the link if anyones interested: https://soundcloud.com/slipshodd/someone-else-1

  5. S.... R....

    Was high asf in class the other day, this song made it an experience to remember.

  6. Y.... ....

    E G O D E A T H

  7. S.... C....

    This played as we pulled into the burial of one of my friends that I had known for a long time, she had a lot of bullshit happen in her life and she corrected it all and right after that she passed away. Only 20 years old. Rip Lana. ♥️ I will always play this song when I pull into your cemetery.

  8. D.... M....

    Why is no one talking about the LEGENDARY fill at 3:25?

  9. E.... C....

    INSANE drum line!

  10. A.... w....

    My favorite tune from InnerSpeaker!!

  11. T.... L....

    People make Tame Impala comparisons to other bands, because the songs are layered, and amazing. Stop making comparisons. He is a musical genius with his OWN sound that is ever evolving. I'm tired of the hypocrisy. lol And frankly, the ignorance of the comments.

  12. T.... A....

    As a first time listener, it gives me 70’s rock Coraline soundtrack vibes

  13. A.... W....

    Need. It. Louder!

  14. c.... a....

    assez fou !

  15. V.... E....

    Feel it come
    I don't know how long it's gonna stay with me
    I'll let desire be
    Desire go
    Dare I face the real world
    Everyday
    Back and forth, what's it for?
    What's it for?
    Back and forth, everyday
    Everyday
    Back and forth
    What's it for
    I don't know
    I'll get out, won't have to
    Check my watch
    I don't have the verve to belong to this dead side
    Oh, why I ever tried, I don't know
    Oh, dare I face the real world?
    Everyday
    Back and forth, what's it for?
    What's it for?
    Back and forth, everyday
    Everyday
    Back and forth, what's it for?
    I don't know, I forget, try to let desire be, desire go
    Feel, feel it come, feel it come
    I Feel it come
    I don't know how long
    It's gonna stay with me
    I'll let desire be, desire go

    My only favorite album by Tame Impala. Of all the 2010’s psych albums that I have heard so far it’s only beaten by Goat’s debut.
    Here we have some 60’s influenced psych, but at the same time Kevin Parker is pushing the boundaries of the genre and I really think he succeeds with it on this album. Their next album is great as well! However I think he started to get a bit too much in the wrong direction on their next album, with it’s synth poppy sound.
    Their latest album is pretty much garbage in my ears, but yea I can enjoy the tunes though.

    C.... S....

    Agreed. Lonerism is fantastic too.

  17. C.... ....

    Was this in a fifa game? Specifically 10 or 11

    C.... ....

    @Lmclean89 was it in any fifa?

  18. L.... B....

    Tame Impala are so under appreciated, love them

  19. l.... ....

    this is so beatle

  20. A.... B....

    smokin black ..then white...then black..then marlb..ok tame impala or lana del rey..hmm tweekin i think i needs to sleeps a bit.lol

  21. S.... T....

    Listened to this while on 5 grams of mushrooms last night. Omg how does Kevin do it ? 🔥☮️

  22. A.... D....

    Hey, it’s 1968 John Lennon.

    A.... D....

    more like '66-67 John.

  23. N.... G....

    My brother showed me this song and it’s so amazing

  24. J.... G....

    everydaaaaaaaaaaay back and forth
    what's it for? i don't knowwwwwwwwwwww

  25. B.... S....

    Hi everyone I'm super annoying and wanna promote this similarly genre'd music video!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH3vIyPJjrI

  26. S.... T....

    Love that slick riff he keeps recycling throughout the whole song 🔥🔥🔥😈

  27. k.... ....

    Honestly who needs drugs when there's this song

  28. D.... ....

    Driving music

  29. R.... ....

    So far, this is my favorite song by Tame. the Riff and that breakdown that occurs throughout the song is my shit.

    R.... ....

    However there's a recording of this on their Sessions album (Santa Monica radio station recording) that sounds even more wickedly fun than this recording. still fucking great though

  30. E.... B....

    Lindo Sonho Delirante....viagem garantida!

  31. t.... ....

    Thanks Lusva ^-^

  32. W.... �....

    Everything perfect except the fade out. What happened there? Couldn't they find a good ending to that song?

  33. D.... M....

    I FUCKING ADORE YOY

  34. Y.... ....

    hmm. I get it.

  35. L.... G....

    Is it healthy to be as obsessed with this band as i am?

  36. D.... G....

    Am I the only one, who wants to live inside of the album-cover?

  37. E.... R....

    1 MILLON DE VIEWS!!! :) 25/05/18

  38. W.... L....

    7% charge. What do you do? Listen to Tame Impala

  39. f.... ....

    No Beatles, no Lennon. Only Harrison and McCartney in a few moments , folks.

    f.... ....

    What are you on about. It's clearly more like Lennon than the rest. McCartney on the backing vocals sure.

  40. R.... C....

    Nice! You should check roxxxo.

  41. x.... ....

    hi hailey aka Stufful

  42. M.... Q....

    3:26 PA ADELANTE&BROTHER QUE BRUTAL! esta cancion debe tener mas atencion, realmente es una joya.

  43. s.... ....

    0.75 speed tho

  44. D.... ....

    this song is beyond cool. A fantastic crossover between the Beatles and Nirvana

  45. I.... ....

    It's to live with desire

    I.... ....

    Larisha it's about the 9-5 life. Desire be, desire go. It means that this life, 9-5 robs those of us of our desire. "I don't have the verve to belong to this dead side"

  46. A.... M....

    Killer vocals by John Legend

  47. s.... A....

    ***********I'M IN AGREEMENT 100%****************

    l.... ....

    The Beatles practically invented the psychadelic rock culture, especially after their album 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band'. Gotta love em.

    l.... ....

    Andrew S Rae And Revolver (listen to "she said, she said", "i'm only sleeping" and "i want to tell you")

  59. g.... q....

    This is my current favorite song of all time, especially this version. The slowed down versions don't really do it for me. But this one keeps moving like I'm surfing on the best ride of my life, and no one's in my way, and everything comes together just right, and I'm living inside the song. Thank you so much Tame Impala, keep up the nice work.

  60. P.... P....

    This is their best song hands down bless up

  61. B.... E....

    If you don't like this you aren't a person

    B.... E....

    a chicken nugget

    B.... E....

    You're right. I'm not a person. I'm a Kpop stan that got exposed to Tame Impala

    B.... E....

    @*has given up* go away and stop watching this video we don't support kpop or there fans and stans

  62. B.... S....

    I wanna live inside this song

    B.... S....

    Wow, this comment is so deep, I could not have described it better!!. Thanks for that

    B.... S....

    beautiful comment

    B.... S....

    I wanna live inside your mom

    B.... S....

    I Think thar's room enough for both of us in there. I've been waiting so long, are you going to come in?

  63. G.... H....

    feels like lennon still alive

  64. b.... ....

    Sounds like John Lennon

    b.... ....

    breezy785 d'Or this is now Jonh lenon

    b.... ....

    It is man. John never really died

  65. B.... B....

    Tame Impala would have been gods in the 70s!

    B.... B....

    Pardo That's generation x

    B.... B....

    We're Live Pal! I'm not talking literally pal

    B.... B....

    Without the 70's Tame Impala wouldt exist

    B.... B....

    i don't think the 70s would have been able to handle tame impala

    B.... B....

    ​ you're cringe as fuck are these you actual attempts at comebacks? 😂

  66. L.... ....

    ácido sonoro

  67. R.... d....

    que música foda!

  68. z.... 9....

    masterpiece

  69. T.... g....

    The amount of fuzz in this song makes me a happy panda

    T.... g....

    The fuzz genuinely makes my eyes water, so tasty.

  70. G.... ....

    if anybody knows of some songs with a sound and tempo like this let me know.

    G.... ....

    White Fence--Like That

    G.... ....

    look up the band maps and atlases dude! you might enjoy them

    G.... ....

    Garf2O Bodysnatchers by Radiohead reminds me of thsi song kinda. very good song

    G.... ....

    Try their song, Half Full Glass of Wine. Then go to Temples - Shelter Song.

    G.... ....

    Iron butterfly theme ..maybe

  71. C.... ....

    Sounds a bit like lucidity

    C.... ....

    ColRizz99 thought the same thing

  72. F.... A....

    What a surprise...l love them

  73. C.... R....

    When I hear this song , it's my head , John Lennon in an imaginary world , sailing through the skies on a boat and looking at a world of colors, but there are gray areas...
    Actually this is the magic of music, John present in music , now more than ever...

    C.... R....

    +Christo Rey i agree completely.

    C.... R....

    agree 1000%

    C.... R....

    +Christo Rey Cool perspective!

  74. T.... S....

    This is the sound that got me hooked. Lonerism is a better album without question, but innerspeaker has some of my favorite songs. Lonerism is not only more fluid but original and IMO it is the pinnacle of Kevin's work. This coming from a fan since around 2010. I had the enjoyment of spreading the word and watching them grow. By the time Lonerism came out people were telling ME about Tame and they even had Elephant get some radio time. Even then I'm super fucking stoked for the new album because I've been getting into electronic music.

    T.... S....

    I was just thinking this!! I think with Lonerism Kevin really found how to make his sound HIS sound.. but all my favorite songs are from innerspeaker :)

    T.... S....

    Same here and went on a quest to find every tame song made and so far maybe 1 song that is just like meh

  75. D.... ....

    Hells Yeaahh!!

  76. H.... K....

    I love this

  77. S.... ....

    How did John Lennon get his vocals on this???

    S.... ....

    @SynthyBassMan you think thats funny? I kill a man like the you, people who enjoy a music without admiring my a plums and pretentious poems!!1!!

    S.... ....

    @HeyDevilBetween But Ringo's drums on this track are spot on! :)

    S.... ....

    When I first heard tame impala I thot it was the Beatles XD

    S.... ....

    SynthyBassMan now

  78. t.... ....

    Music of the 70's yheaa

  79. l.... h....

    Pursue your desire, conformity is equal to cowardism. Fuck a 9 to 5

    l.... h....

    This was me 2 years ago.. that 9-5 is killing me

  80. L.... S....

    I don't know how long it's gonna stay with me
    I'll let desire be
    Desire go
    Dare I face the real world
    Everyday
    Back and forth
    What's it for?
    What's it for?
    Back and forth
    Everyday
    Everyday
    Back and forth
    What's it for?
    I don't know
    I'll get out
    Won't have to
    Check my watch
    I don't have the verve to belong to this dead side
    Why I ever tried
    I don't know.

    L.... S....

    fuckin poetically lyrical

    L.... S....

    This is what I want on the back of the card they give you when Someone died.

  81. U.... P....

    Band of the century, in my sincerest opinion. 

    U.... P....

    Esteban Carrizo thats a solid yes from me

    U.... P....

    Not even a band lmfao

    U.... P....

    @NextMintJuice Imagine dragons ahahaAHAHAHAHAH

    U.... P....

    Jacco gardner is better

    U.... P....

    @NextMintJuice IMAGINE DRAGONS AHAHAHHAHA... How about you name an actual band and not some business fund band that don't even write or play all instruments on their songs.

  82. J.... .....

    HOW DID I ONLY JUST FIND THIS BAND!

  83. k.... s....

    TAME IMPALA \m/

    R.... m....

    Ross marshall how was college chief

    R.... m....

    We all need to know , how'd you go?

    R.... m....

    How was college?

  93. S.... E....

    I totally thought the Beatles sang this. I searched thru all the Beatles albums. I had no idea who else could have sang this. I've heard other songs by tame impala but did not know this was them. But I still kept searching because they sound more like the Beatles than any other band. I love the Beatles. Now I'm hooked on tame impala thanks to my search for this song...this band is mind blowing!

    S.... E....

    I keep coming back to this track. In a trance like state when I listen to this while riding my motorcycle along twisty roads. 

  94. O.... ....

    As much as I hate most Tame Impala comparisons with you know who, I would be lying if I said this song doesn't sound like a lost track on Magical Mystery Tour.

    O.... ....

    The Beatles are the greatest. You can say their name mate they aren't voldemort or something..

    O.... ....

    Sounds like "Cant See A Thing Till You Open My Eyes" from Nazz Nazz

  95. A.... .....

    Innerspeak > Lonerism

    A.... .....

    Indeed!!

    A.... .....

    Alex .Lyall Innerspeaker> Lonerism > Currents

    A.... .....

    Lonerism>innerspeaker>currents

    A.... .....

    innerspeaker=lonerism=currents

    A.... .....

    They’re both Fire 🔥 Lonerism and although Innerspeaker might take the cake 🎂. Currents is great too ☮️

  96. I.... B....

    This song makes me orgasm, this one freakin awesome. u guys damn cool 

  97. i.... e....

    this song is simply the dog's bollocks
