Tame Impala is going down in the music history books. I'm glad to live in this generation with them making this type music

[RaxR]

0:39 - 0:43 From an angel to an aussie drunk. Lovin it!

[the.corvidian]

I don't think I've ever heard someone re-sing a studio release and it sounds this accurate to the original, very impressive

[floyd]

0:00 - 0:27 Jay was playing International Feel by Todd Rundgren.

[kennyg]

Kev forgot the lyrics at the beginning only cuz he didn't have his shoes off.  

[ThrashAndBurn]

Kevins instrument makes this one sound kind of like a lullaby and I love it!

[mattydigs]

Btw the song at the beginning is "Internation Feel" (also "Le Feel Internacionale") off of Todd Rundgrens classic acid-damaged album "A Wizard, A True Star". Good stuff on there. If you need the chords for it I'm sure they are online in a bunch of places.

Looks like I'm going to need a 1983 Casio DG20 Electric guitar set to Electric Mandolin...

[Fanny-gmhb]

i love when kevin touches his hair, adorable haha

[jamcams]

Just got the chill down my spine when the vocals kicked in. Very much in the same vein as John Lennon's vocals for 'A Day in the Life'... beautiful. Love this band.

[DelusionalVoice]

That synth patch Jay is using for International Feel is so awesome

[michaelgibson]

The only thing I don't like about this video is the fact kev is wearing proper shoes! Hahaha

[jamiedionaabbott]

This is amazing I wish someone had his best vocals in compilation form

[legomyfego]

you're definitely hearing his real voice, but that echo-y effect on it is just the delay. i don't think his voice has been pitch-corrected.

[CeLsO]

Stop saying he sounds like John Lennon, or the whole band sound like The Beatles. That's not true! I think they are quite special, aren't they?

It feels like I only go backwards baby
Every part of me says: Go ahead
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again
Feels like we only go backwards darling

I know that you think you sound
Silly when you call my name (my name)
But I hear it inside my head all day
When I realize I'm just holding on to
The hope that maybe
Your feelings don't show

It feels like I only go backwards baby
Every part of me says: Go ahead
Then I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again
Feels like we only go backwards darling

The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no
'Cause I decided long ago
But that's the way it seems to go when trying
So hard to get to something real
It feels

It feels like I only go backwards darling
Every part of me says: Go ahead
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again
Feels like we only go backwards darlin'

Feels like I only go backwards baby
Every part of me says: Go ahead
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again
Feels like we only go backwards darling

[woowoo]

I love this version better than the original. The original gives me an existential crisis- this feels like a "*hug* I get you"😭

[tomseventyr]

I absolutely love this! First I thought the song actually started when the keyboard player started singing, but after that I just laughed. And the humbelness at the beginning!.. Missing the lyrics, and just sitting there. I can't explain in words how the song itself made me feel. Have a feel for yourself! CHEERS FROM NORWAY!!!

[crlchs]

I fell in love with Feels Like on Jools Holland, but it was taken off of YouTube... : (This is the first version as good as that one was. ) Thank you!!!! Love Tame Impala!
