Stream or Download an MP3 of Arctic Monkeys "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" Tame Impala cover...

I've been informed that I have reached the maximum number of free downloads of "Backwards" on Soundcloud. You can still stream it there, but if you'd like an MP3 of it, you can email me and I will send you an MP3 as an email attachment...

Live on Australian radio station Triple J, Arctic Monkeys take a crack at Like A Version, performing an acoustic cover of Tame Impala's Feels Like We Only Go Backwards.....



They also did a nice acoustic version of their own "Do I Wanna Know?", right afterwards, which totally goes with the previous song...



Dare I say that the Arctic Monkeys cover is a great improvement over the original?

Contrast and compare:



It's just that the lyrics are great and you can hear and understand them much better in Alex's version...

"Feels Like We Only Go Backwards"


It feels like I only go backwards baby
Every part of me says "go ahead".
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards darling.

I know that you think, you sound
Silly when you call my name (my name)
But I get it inside my head all day.
When I realize I'm just holding onto
The hope that maybe
Your feelings don't show...

It feels like I only go backwards baby.
Every part of me says "go ahead".
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards darling.

The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no,
'Cause I decided long ago.
But that's the way it seems to go when trying
So hard to get to something real,
It feels...

It feels like I only go backwards darling,
Every part of me says "go ahead".
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards darlin'.

Feels like I only go backwards baby,
Every part of me says "go ahead".
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards darling.

Feels like I only go backwards baby,
Every part of me says "go ahead".
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards darling.


"Do I Wanna Know?"


Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift
The type that sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that you're in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through

Crawling back to you

So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart's still open and if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt. It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you (crawling back to you)

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? (you've had a few)
'Cause I always do ('cause I always do)
Maybe I'm too (maybe I'm too busy) busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through

Crawling back to you

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling darling?
(Do I wanna know?)
Do you want me crawling back to you?
