Let It Happen

Tame Impala · Currents [2015]

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)

Just 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 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)

So let it happen, let it happen

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

And if I never come back

Tell my mother I'm sorry

[?]

Maybe I was ready all along

Maybe I was ready all along

Maybe I was ready all along

Maybe I was ready all along

Let It Happen

Released in 2015 on the album Currents, "Let It Happen" is a defining track by Australian psychedelic rock musician Kevin Parker, known professionally as Tame Impala. The song exemplifies the band's evolution into a more expansive, electronic-infused sound, blending intricate guitar work with synthesized textures and a driving, hypnotic rhythm. It serves as a pivotal moment in their discography, marking a departure from the raw indie-rock of their earlier work, Lonerism, toward a polished, retro-futuristic aesthetic that became central to their identity. The track's production and lyrical themes of surrender and moving forward resonate deeply within the psychedelic and indie pop genres, establishing Tame Impala as a key voice in modern alternative music.
