Meg Mac covers Tame Impala 'Let It Happen' for Like A Version

Meg Mac transforms Tame Impala's 'Let It Happen' for triple j's Like A Version. Like A Version is a segment on Australian radio station triple j. Every week a musician or band comes into the studio to play one of their own songs and cover a song they love.

I already went through a phase where I couldn't stop listening to the original version on repeat now I can't stop listening to this. Wow.

[Ibangedmatt]

I like how they made the bridge its own verse. Interesting structure and interesting harmonies, great cover

[waynewilson]

I love the original but I can't stop listening to this over and over its has its own uniqueness bravo so very good I'm really feeling it

[PolgarGM]

Was this the best ever "Like a Version"? The work put into this. The passion in Meg's eyes. The sibling voice harmonies.

..
I Will not vanish, you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to push through it
You were not thinking that I will not do it
They be lovin' someone and I'm another story
Take the next ticket, get the next train
Why would I do it?
Anyone'd think that

It's always around me, all this noise, but
Not really as loud as the voice saying
"Let it happen, let it happen (It's gonna feel so good)
Let it happen, let it happen"

All this running around
Trying to cover my shadow
An ocean growing inside
All the others seem shallow
All this running around
Bearing down on my shoulders
I can hear an alarm
Must be morning

I Will not vanish, you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to push through it
You were not thinking that I will not do it

I heard about a whirlwind that's coming 'round
It's gonna carry off all that isn't bound, and
When it happens, when it happens (I'm gonna be holding on)
Leet it happen, let it happen (I'm gonna be holding on)

All this running around
I can't fight it much longer
Something's trying to get out
And it's never been closer
If my ticker fails
Make up some other story
But if I never come back
Tell my mother I'm sorry

I Will not vanish, you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to push through it
You were not thinking that I will not do it
They be lovin' someone and I'm another story
Take the next ticket, get the next train
Why would I do it?
Anyone'd think that

I was ready, I was ready, all along
I was ready, I was ready, all along
Oh maybe, all I wanted was the sound of a memory
All I wanted was the sound ohhhh, ohhhh
All I wanted, all I wanted
I was ready, I was ready,
I was ready, I was ready, all along,
I was ready, I was ready, all along

I've been coming back here for years now...

[hannahnichol]

Loving how she starts with some of the end lines and mixes them in throughout. Also she gives her own slight take on it, but hasn't completely ruined it which is a nice change

[mattman]

I have no idea how many times I've listened to this. It's such a powerful performance.

[luaraalbino]

I come back here from time to time cause I don't think I'll ever get over how good this is

DAMN THE BEST TAME IMPALA'S COVER

[rorysilverberg]

Meg Mac should cover the entire album. This really is incredible.

[cam]

Well 3:00-4:00 might just be the best 60 seconds of music I’ve ever heard in my life.

[dlewis]

This was awesome, they did something different but didn’t destroy the song

[grandmaolive]

I’m physically violent over the fact this isn’t on Spotify

[jaredtheisinger]

Surely i'm not the only one who watches this at least once a week?
Top 3 LAV's of all time, am i wrong?

[daveintomusic]

This has a trip-hop vibe that i can't get enough of, so much swagger

[DankyDankerson]

I like how they combine in harmony to create that tame impala sound, its beautiful

[jasonmontagnat]

Don’t think I’ve heard two voices go together quite so perfectly!

[poidadawi]

2 years on I’m commenting on this again. One of my favorite songs ever. I don’t know how I can like it more than the original but I do.

[netko]

So so good. I'm so glad I found this channel and learned about the existance of this radio station. Man you Australians have it great to be able to listen to this daily.... learned about a lot of great Australian artists this way. Thank you Triple J for making this all available worldwide via the internet <3
