Tame Impala - Music To Walk Home By Lyrics

Lonerism so good 🙏🏻

I think the bass and the drums are switched

whole song is just amazing, it keeps progressing and progressing. 1:16 1:35 1:44 3:19 3:47 3:55 4:20 my fav parts

3:00-3:20 is just bliss

This is my favorite song on this album. A masterpiece indeed. I still don’t know if it can beat alter ego, why won’t you make up your mind or expectation on innerspeaker though. Kevin Parker is a genius and his music has helped me get through some very difficult times.

But that's only while I think of you
Some vision that I hold on to
You know it's everything I do
You know it's everything I do

Can almost stand competing with the others
Can almost hear the fun that I should be having
Instead of just dreaming

But it's only when I think of you
The mover I could turn into
There must be something I can do
Yeah, there must be something I can do

[Chorus]
I just don't know how to feel right
A beautiful girl is wasting my life
I'm playing a part as somebody else
While tryin' so hard to be myself
I just need to hear somebody say
This will all make sense one day
I guess I'm alright, but they're all doing so well
What I wouldn't give to be under that spell

[Post-Chorus]
You'll know soon
You'll know soon
You'll know soon
You'll know soon
You'll know soon (Yeah)
You'll know soon (Yeah)
You'll know soon (Yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
But you don't know the truth
I really love you
You just don't believe
Anything I do

[Chorus]
In so many ways I'm somebody else
While tryin' so hard to be myself
I just need to hear somebody say
This will all make sense one day
Well, it's getting late I'd better go
I made it this far as far as I know

When that last guitar riff kicks in WOW

Very rarely do bands come along today that are just dope as F musically. Tame Impala is far and beyond one

John C Because it’s technically not a band 😉 Everything you hear was written, recorded, produced, and played by Kevin Parker HIMSELF. Only when there’s a live show is it a “band.” He’s a solo act with ridiculous talent

Rob Katzberg touché. Fact still remains 🙌🏻

Kevin Parker's favourite song on the album.

ab8jeh is it really?

@bulldog vibes https://youtu.be/mYT_xyCSa7Y (8:40)

This song while walking home is great especially when you’re high as fuck and have this playing on some headphones.

I wish I can tell her about this song......

Fuck its 3:20 that get me every time oh my

I wanna walk home but im stuck sitting in my room

0:57 is nothing but pure bliss

Secrets in here

Do you ever feel like a song is talking to you? Because it fucking sucks

that last riff though

He's one of the top 25 psychedelic bands to date..
Just fucking awesome!!

Idk how good this would be for walking home to, especially compared to great walking songs like
When They Come For Me by Linkin Park
Buckingham Rabbit by Silver Jews
Walk of Life by Dire Straits
Passing Me By by Pharcyde
Doo Wop by Lauryn Hill
(In case you wanted any recommendations 😜)

Robert Cohn I’ve tried this one, and I can say with full confidence, it works more than great

From 4:22 to the end of the song is the most amazing piece of melody I’ve ever witnessed good job Kevin

Se la rifa Kevin Parker me gusta mucha la rola y la banda en si.

So underrated. “I don’t really mind” and “suns comming up” are underrated too

Caio StayGold the two songs with extremly psychedelic parts

Sheer psychedelic bliss

What an outburst of euphoria, great song 😇

Best album ever.

These guy's should be in the Genius World Book Of Records for having the best melodies. You can hear the effort in every single song from start to finish. Somtimes I hear a song that I don't care for, but then later on I hear a Melody in my head and it turns out to be that song I didn't care for , which would be this one. Now I can't get enough of it.

Garrett Greene the Beatles?

Exactly!!

No, not theses guys. Kevin. He rote and recorded all the songs he has ever made himself. Yes on his live performances he has a band, but it's a separate band helping him play the music.

Same! I thought it was just me.

It's just one guy fam. The band just plays his shit

Lonerism is the best album of Tame Impala <3

Every album is the best album <3

Do they have a new one coming soon? I saw some singles were out

then you haven't listen to innerspeaker!!

@John C yea it's coming out on 14 Feb 2020 titled "The Slow Rush"

John C yeah, February 2020. I’m lookin forward to it

The last 60 seconds are pure euphoria

the whole song is

I prefer part 0:00 to 5:13

i know how you feel, im feeling the same, tum dum durum dum dum dum tum dum durum tum dum dum "so many wayss...."

goosebumps everyFUCKINGtime at 4:20

This song can bring tears to my eyes, it is such a masterpiece.

2:23 - 2:59 i believe is the best thing I've heard my entire life.

That part made me cry during my first acid trip because it just sounded so absolutely beautiful, like I had finally found the best piece of music ever

Seth Collazo I forgot to ask. Does an acid trip feel like how that sounds? Like you're floating through space but then it feels like heaven? I've never done acid before

Fantastic upload. This album is still one of our favs. If you like Tame Impala then you should check us out. We're not as psychedelic, but we have a similar vibe. Much love and thanks for sharing this .

dropando um doce e fumando um, pft...

cala-te wanna be.

Grayson Dolan's snap chat brought me here. Anyone else?

played this song. feet won't touch floor. please help.

dont worry thats supposed to happen

Kevin Parker's voice is just so surreal and sublime!

Cant believe its been 5 years

Yep, time flies! I remember having this in my car, windows down, blasting it as I drove down the coast. Magic

6 now:( first heard it in 2015 though and loved them ever since

t749 o cant believe i just was introduced to them a month ago!

03:19 hell ...

Glad to see someone liked this part too! everyone keeps saying 4:20 is the best part, 3:19 is the best to me

@Dylan Yepes This is funny because my favorite part is at 4min

Esse álbum descreve minha vida

I still die at 4:20

lol 420

Lyrics

But that's only when I think of you
Some vision that I hold on to
You know it's everything I do
You know it's everything I do

Can almost stand competing with the others
Can almost hear the fun that I should be having
Instead of all this dreaming

But it's only when I think of you
The mover I could turn into
There must be something I can do
There must be something I can do

But I just don't know
How to feel right
A beautiful girl
Is wasting my life
I'm playing a part
As somebody else
While trying so hard
To be myself
I just need to hear
Somebody say
That this will make sense one day
I guess I'm alright
But they're all doing so well
What I would give
To be under that spell

You'll know soon, you'll know soon
You'll know soon, you'll know soon
You'll know soon, you'll know soon, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

In so many ways
I'm somebody else
I'm trying so hard
To be myself
I just need to hear
Somebody say
That this will all make
Sense one day

Well it's getting late
I'd better go
I made it this far
As far as I know

Scary how this song screams at me... I relate to the lyrics too much it hurts. Discovered the album when I fell in love with somebody for the first time, now I'm trying to move on, and I feel like I'm an imposter in my own life.. Kevin really expresses it perfectly.

@smelly lorenny you make sense of his lyricism. Thank you.

don't forget it's at 4:20, they did that on purpose

alright

What do you mean?

Zak Ramsey I think he means that is how the structure of the song was meant to be. With the ending chorus right at the 4:20 mark

This band is something!

Best part is it's 4:20 lol.

bass and drums sounds like a dinosaurs skipping

bass and drums sounds like a dinosaurs skipping

Thank you!! I finally got the answer. Someone replied but the answer wasn't exactly what I was looking for.

They used a synth or synth software, played a note and increased and decreased the rate of oscillation

I have been a fan for a few years now but I am delighted they are getting this well deserved, for them and for everyone else who gets to enjoy it. I don't see the point of putting a class of superiority over the people who just got into them now, that seems unecessary.

Ayyye luv the Syd Barrett pic

Preach. Good music is good music and everyone should enjoy it the way it was supposed to be enjoyed.

I’m just happy people are finally recognizing Kevin Parker for his genius. He deserves the success.

I wish they'd write a song called "Music to do the Dishes and Clean the House on a Rainy Day by"

...but, until then, this one is pretty good

this is precisely a rainy day and I'm about to wash dishes and clean the floor... and yeah, it would be suuuuch a good day

haha :)) agreed

This song has everything i love about Tame Impala, best song on the album.

it's just soo fuckin relatable

fyi this is Kevin favorite song of Lonerism

How is the sound in the beginning produced?

I dunno, but I have heard it in NES games before.

Using a 6 or 8 stage phaser pedal and some some fuzz or distortion, raise the rate of the phaser almost max

Water bong

nice moment to light up?

That outro <3

Word dude. I wasted an accumulated three years of my life on a girl that didn't give a damn about me.

Mathew West SAME!

fuck, me too but I am still wasting , this my 4th year!

Mathew West smh I’m in the same boat now dude, should just give it up already

S'not what this kind of music is about. Vocals are just another instrument no more important than any other.

my god...

word man, been there done that
i feel you.. head up, you have a good heart
stay strong bro

i love the efffects but i wish they made the vocals a little louder

omg sooo good!

right at 420 o_o

A beautiful girl wasting my life....:(

Jugal Joshi how's stuff now?

That line hits me hard, just quietly thinking about a girl I’m fond of who will probably never know that

@Iam Death they will eventually if you actually think that. Broke up with my GF of 6 years after feeling like that for a while.

4:20 dat riff

So glad they got it right yet again, loving it !
