Rarely has solitude sounded so elegant as it does in the dextrous hands of Kevin Parker, miseryРІР‚в„ўs favourite company. WeРІР‚в„ўll never know exactly how it feels to live inside Kevin ParkerРІР‚в„ўs head, but his signature track so vividly blends psychic compression, romantic yearning and golden-pop residue that you canРІР‚в„ўt help suspecting heРІР‚в„ўs somehow projected the inside of his head into our eardrums in the highest possible definition. Illustrating the point is РІР‚ВKeep on LyingРІР‚в„ў, which marks ParkerРІР‚в„ўs evolution from a man with an unnerving ear for a tune to an artist with heavenРІР‚в„ўs own music box between his ears. The biggest jump Tame Impala made between РІР‚ВInnerspeakerРІР‚в„ў, the kind of record youРІР‚в„ўd replay endlessly in your room, and РІР‚ВLonerismРІР‚в„ў, the kind of record youРІР‚в„ўd start a cult around, was in Kevin ParkerРІР‚в„ўs melodies. Things take a transcendent turn when what appeared to be shimmering stars come into focus as pulsing disco lights, and РІР‚ВLet It HappenРІР‚в„ў soars into an alien groove so blissfully breezy you could fly a carpet on it. If РІР‚ВInnerspeakerРІР‚в„ў and РІР‚ВLonerismРІР‚в„ў were the sound of Kevin Parker caught up in an interstellar burst, new track РІР‚ВLet It HappenРІР‚в„ў sees him drift weightlessly into the cosmos. Meanwhile, the songРІР‚в„ўs cushy, exquisite production keeps things dreamy.

The first truly, timelessly great track on РІР‚ВLonerismРІР‚в„ў, РІР‚ВApocalypse DreamsРІР‚в„ў sees Kevin Parker operate on his voice like a deranged scientist, launching it into cosmic collisions, pumping it with helium and cramming in so much melody itРІР‚в„ўs fit to burst. A classic one comes up in РІР‚ВAlter EgoРІР‚в„ў, a juggernaut of loved-up power-bursts that seems to move at seven speeds at once, when he fires up that bottom-of-a-well vocal effect he so dearly loves to cry out, РІР‚СљThe only one whoРІР‚в„ўs really judging you is yourself.РІР‚Сњ ItРІР‚в„ўs nice to pretend, anyway. As I feel it was intended to.One of Kevin ParkerРІР‚в„ўs favourite lyrical techniques is to regale us with self-help slogans heРІР‚в„ўs clearly unable to believe himself. It really made me think if I am spending my time wisely. It's about a man who has been sucked into work and traveling and does not feel much purpose and he keeps dying/running out of time. A lot of my opinions are based off the music video which in my opinion goes hand in hand with the lyrics. I made an account just to post about this song because it spoke to me so deeply. The fifth stanza is a little unclear but it sounds like one is at a crossroads with their lover because they want them to understand but doesn't want to get them caught up in it as well. And if for whatever reason if you find a new life in a different 'place' and an apology in advance in case one doesn't return. Also feeling some slight dismay about letting close people down such as one's mother. If one dies 'ticker fails' he doesn't want anyone knowing that he was defeated upon his journey. The fourth stanza is finally going through with leaving and finding what it is one is looking for/what it is they need to feel complete. Our 'angst' that still hasn't been settled. I believe this has heavy relation with 'Currents' itself about the current within each one of us. And the whirlwind would be the friction caused by others criticizing one for going out of the normal societal pattern. The third stanza is about giving into wanting to pursue some true meaning in life. The others seeming shallow is like questioning why don't others feel this way? And then the alarm and morning arriving is like running out of time to sit and dwell it is now time to act. The ocean growing inside is the angst building up to go and do something outside the societal norm that is set for them. In the second stanza the running around represents one's every day life work bills rent etc. As they see everyone else carrying on their every day life as if it were meant to be. The voice saying 'Let it happen' is the pressure one feels by society to follow the rinse and repeat order. My InterpretationIn the first stanza the 'noise' I feel is a representation of one's deeper thoughts and goals. Oh, I'm ready for the moment and the sound

(Why would I do it? And you wanna think that) (Take the next ticket to take the next train) (They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid) (All the while thinking I might as well do it) (Try to get through it, try to bounce to it) (I will not vanish and you will not scare me) Why would I do it? And you wanna think that Take the next ticket to take the next train
