Tame Impala - Lost in Yesterday (Official Video)

“eventually terrible memories turn into great ones” fav lyric

time is constantly moving forward throughout the music video and every time he thinks about that memory at the wedding it gets better and better hence “eventually terrible memories turn into great ones” until suddenly he remembers that 1 thing that reminds him why it was a bad memory

I'm late to the party, but I was the camera operator on this project, and it's really so nice reading all of the nice things people have to say about the video. It's really appreciated

This album was the first real music I found while in the hospital detoxing from an almost decade long heroin addiction. I never felt more alive listening to this album when I finally got out of the hospital and sober. What a God send for Kevin Parker to be my first discovery in stepping back out into the world again.

Imagine getting serenaded by musical Jesus himself at your wedding

People are missing the point. The first wedding was what it actually was. But nostalgia and memory recall turns it into something better then what it was. We recall memories through a rose colored lens. So the end memory gets erased by the reality of what it was.

This bass line is mesmerizing.

“Matty said life didn’t go the way that he planned it, said oh what i’d give to start over, boy I command it!” That hit home. Life is a game with no restart button. We learn through mistakes, have to face harsh realities, and never get the same moment twice. If you’re reading this you are going to be who you’re meant to be its all about letting go and detaching from a specific outcome

The camera man is basically me at any party. Just wandering in circles around and around on my own

I love how every time the shot repeats the wedding gets better and better, essentially proving the line, “eventually terrible memories turn into great ones,” making this whole thing feel like a terrible memory being remembered over and over to where all the flaws are erased, until the terrible ending.

Lyrics When we were living in squalor, Wasn't it heaven? Back when we used to get on it Four outta seven Now even though that was a time I Hated from day one Eventually, terrible memories Turn into great ones So if they call you Embrace them If they hold you Erase them 'Cause it might have been something, who's to say? Does it help to get lost in yesterday? And you mighta missed something, don't say 'Cause it has to be lost in yesterday And you're gonna have to let it go someday You've been digging it up like Groundhog Day 'Cause it might have been something, don't say 'Cause it has to be lost in yesterday Matty said life didn't go the Way that he planned it Said, "Oh, what I'd give to start over Boy, I'd command it" So what was I ever afraid of, Why did I worry? And why was I ever so brainless? Head in a flurry 'Cause if they call you Embrace them If they stall you Erase them 'Cause it might have been something, who's to say? Does it help to get lost in yesterday? And you mighta missed something, don't say 'Cause it has to be lost in yesterday And you're gonna have to let it go someday You've been digging it up like Groundhog Day 'Cause it might have been something, don't say 'Cause it has to stay lost in yesterday So if it calls you Embrace it If it haunts you Face it I know it's mad I understand It's only snakes And ladders The period You never had There's only one That matters And if it calls you Embrace it If it holds you Erase it (replace it) Thnx for the likes =)

This blend of psychedelic, indie, and electronic elements is so unique and on point. It's like they're creating the sound of now while nodding to the musical greats of the past. I'd recommend checking out a band from New Zealand called The Doublejumps for people who like this style. We need more artists who can tap into our collective feelings and create that unmistakable connection ✌🌈

"Eventually terrible memories turn into great ones. So if they call you, embrace them. If they hold you, erase them" Think i found my new year's resolution

Imagine this band actually performing at a 70's wedding.

I discovered this song today on the radio. My mother just died two month's ago and it made me happy listening to it. Shazam'ed the song and i am happy i found it. It gave me strength...🥺🙏🏼 Greetings from Holland,Europe

I ALWAYS SEE PEOPLE LIKE “ i wish i could listen to this for the first time again” THIS IS MY FIRST TIME LISTENING TO THIS AND I’M SOAKING IT IN

i wonder if kevins back is sore from carrying the whole music industry

This came out yesterday. Never saw a notification, it was lost in yesterday

I am ready to assign this video to my student as a film literature assignment. I think the first pass is the "actual" event/memory (wedding). Each successive pass is the revised memories of some of the guests: nicer clothes, elegant style, appearances that indicate successes in life: the father figure at the cake table goes from sullen to joyful, the bridesmaid pairs with the guy mouthing "I love you" to the bride(?), the couple at the bar go from contempt to engaged; the guy at the end of the bar becomes a sailor; the band goes from reel to reel to live musicians; the woman on the phone goes from sad to happily hugging a man; the wheelchair-bound man goes from chair, to walker, to standing; the food tables, decorations, the mother figure and the wedded couple become idealized. The final scene may represent how the bride and some attendants at the wedding feel about the original memory: what ties them together is the bride and the mother figure, who are both represented the same as in the first scene. The bride's real contempt for the original situation is revealed ("... that was time that I hated from day one/eventually terrible memories turn into great ones...")("The period, you never had/There's only one that matters"). The mother figure snatching the champagne glass out of the idealized version of her signifies her disappointment and contempt of how she was/has been portrayed/remembered. All of the characters remember and for some of them the memories were distorted in ways that may have been difficult for some of them to face.

I've discovered this song about 2 hours ago, have been listening on a loop ever since. Who needs drugs when you have music like this?
