Tame Impala is a psychedelic rock band of Australian musician Kevin Parker,… Read Full Bio ↴Tame Impala is a psychedelic rock band of Australian musician Kevin Parker, who writes, records, produces, and performs. As a touring act, Tame Impala consists of Parker (guitar, vocals), Dominic Simper (guitar, synthesiser), Jay Watson (synthesiser, vocals, guitar), Cam Avery (bass guitar, vocals), and Julien Barbagallo (drums, vocals). Many of the band members, including Parker, are collaborators with fellow Australian psychedelic rock band Pond. Previously signed to Modular Recordings, Tame Impala is now signed to Interscope Records in the US and Fiction Records in the UK.

Parker originally conceived the project in Perth in 2007. After a series of singles and EPs, Tame Impala's debut studio album, InnerSpeaker, was released in 2010; it was certified gold in Australia and well received by critics. Parker's 2012 follow-up, Lonerism, was also acclaimed, reaching platinum status in Australia and receiving a Grammy Award nomination for Best Alternative Music Album. Tame Impala's third album, Currents, was released in July 2015,[6] and like its predecessor, it won ARIA Awards for Best Rock Album and Album of the Year. Parker won the APRA Award for Song of the Year 2016 for Currents' first track, "Let It Happen". The fourth and most recent studio album, The Slow Rush, was released 14 February 2020.

Why Won't They Talk To Me%3F
Tame Impala Lyrics

Out of the zone, trying to see
I'm so alone, nothing for me
I guess I'll go home, try to be sane
Try to pretend none of it happened
Oh, this old tree, lonely old me
Whoops-a-daisy, I thought I was happy, oh

Out of the zone, now that I see
I don't need them and they don't need me
I guess I'll go home, try to be sane

Try to pretend none of it happened
Destined to be lonely old me
Whoops-a-daisy, I thought I was happy, oh

Ah, why won't they talk to me?
(Thought I was happy, oh)
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
(Thought I was happy, oh)
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
(Thought I was happy, oh)
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
(Why?)
Ah, why won't they talk to me?

But I don't really care 'bout it anyway
I wouldn't listen to a word any of 'em say
They just talk about themselves all day
One day I'll be a star, they'll be sorry

Ah, why won't they talk to me?
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
Ah, why won't they talk to me?
(Why?)
Ah, why won't they talk to me?

I saw tame impala 2013 in Dallas. They opened up for the national and put on a phenomenal show. I remember they played this song and Kevin did a solo at the end and weaved it into Enders toi. It was PHENOMENAL.
It was unfortunate because the crowd wasn’t into them and he could tell. I remember him saying that they will hurry up and end their set so that everyone could see the national.

I left after they were done. They were outside loading up. I spoke with Kevin and got a picture with him. He’s seriously the nicest dude ever.

With no disrespect to KP, it's funny how the version I play in my head (even when I haven't heard the song in possibly a year or two, etc) sounds better than even the best produced version published by TI. I hum the various parts, or otherwise sing the lyrics, to various songs from time to time. I'm not always great with recalling or parsing lyrics either, but even there, the versions I make are far better, not just for myself, but everyone. (Eg, I thought it was "bury your thoughts and fall asleep" in the hymn-like song Goodbye by Apparat)

This is legendary! This song really sums up what it was like to go to the grocery store at the hike of the pandemic. Lonerism manifested for mostly the everyone in 2020.

lil fun fact, or fiction: kevin made this song after the group chat left him on read, he replied to each person individually as well but still...no response. thus this lil beauty was made. moral of the story; always leave your friends on read.

Just want to mention and admire how personal this setup is to Kevin, and the fact that he is allowing us to see his recording setup is incredible. Still brilliantly mystical, with even more curiosity surging from studying his recording equipment.

My brother bought me Innerspeaker and Lonerism as a birthday gift and I've gotta say- though I love them both Lonerism has WAY more tracks I vibe with. This one in particular really spoke to me and I absolutely adore it. I listen to it every day on my commute to work and I honestly feel like it helps me start every day with a fresh mindset. Thank you for all the inspiration and good vibes, Kevin!
