Monster647 400 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 (edited) We know he was one of the producers on this song. He was apparently performing a cover of it on his own tour before it got cut off by the pandemic. I loveeeee Tame Impala. I always thought the song was underappreciated. I feel like his understated vocals and the gaps he takes during the choruses allowed the song to breathe more and let the psychedelic instrumentation shine… I didn’t know he covered it till yesterday🙃 Wanted to share it here… Edited October 8 by Monster647 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObezyankaNol 3,021 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Actually, I think this is the "original version" and not a cover! Не верь, не бойся, не проси 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VOLANTIS 16,257 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 This is the original demo. Ended up in Gaga's album later. Much like Father John Misty's track 'Sinners Prayer'.

Anderson123 35,203 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Perfect Illusion was a Tame Impala song and they pitched it to Gaga and she recorded. Same as Come To Mama. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woah calm down You’re making it sound like they got a Tame Impala song ready and just slapped Gaga’s vocals on it but she was part of the writing and production of the song too If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster647 400 Posted October 7 Author Share Posted October 7 Sooo what do you think about this version musically? It was a cover, it was a demo, whatever. It’s different than the commercially released version by Gaga. I found that this interpretation was a case of “less is more”🤔 Though I like Gaga’s Perfect Illusion too. I think it’s criminally underrated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteHotForever 283 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Perfect Illsuion is my favorite song of Gaga, but I really like Tame Impala‘s version, too 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She always gives her own spin to music. Edited October 7 by Anderson123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well she said more than once that he only had the concept a song about illusion without any lyrics at all but if you want to believe in your fanfic he gave her a song ready to record vocals and call it a day go off If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I believed PI was just pitched to her, I just messed up thinking it was a Tame Impala demo because it sounds like it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedeegaga 336 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I believe they covered Gaga’s version on tour as it’s her version’s lyrics… Mark Ronson did play Kevin’s demo with different lyrics/theme: Scare them first, so they can’t scare you...
