The song finishes with a smooth fade out. The vocals join in again, but this time they sound computerized. The timbre of these doesn’t match the clear quality of the other sounds, but it adds a bit of edge to the song. The pitch of the entire song begins fluctuating. The pitch of these strings are at a lower octave than the rest of instruments played before. While it’s skipping, orchestral strings are introduced. The song begins skipping over one part repeatedly. During this time the rhythm isn’t consistent. Two minutes and 30 seconds in, there’s a 3 minute instrumental breakdown. “Let it Happen” manages to equally balance the vocals and the instruments. Immediately after, the melody is added again, but this time without the vocals. At one point, the main melody of the song is taken out and all you can hear is the percussion faintly playing underneath the vocals.
This song’s dynamic is comparable to a roller coaster the way the instruments fade out to highlight the singer then fade back in. The singer sings in a high pitched voice that’s at a slightly slower pace than the rest of the song. A few seconds after the instruments play the singing begins.
The upbeat tempo is instantly established. The intro fades with a keyboard, bass, and drums. This psychedelic song is filled with a wide range of changing sounds. But there's still the introvert and obsessive, singing, "all this running around trying to cover my shadow." Yeah, people of this sort tend to have a distorted perspective on themselves: Even if Parker feels like he only goes backwards, people tend to overlook the next line-"every part of me says, go ahead." As if anyone really needed to tell him, "let it happen.“Let it Happen” is the first song on the album Currents by Tame Impala. He's an expert at conveying the unexpected joy of beginner's luck behind the boards. Parker has been praised as a classic rock voice with an electronic producer's mind and that's even more pronounced here, as "Let It Happen" seems to be editing itself in real time with all manner of filters, manipulated vocals, swirling ambience, and a startling midsection where he mashes down the looper button and holds it. Here he's reframing Tame Impala as a band who can not only do Daft Punk and Darkside-acts who looked to recreate a pre-MTV period when rock bands, pop acts, and dance producers had access to untold cash and studio time (and drugs)-but do it better. If youre wanting to follow their lead and inject a trippy, psychedelic feel to your guitar lines then this pedal is a must. The Electro Harmonix Holy Grail has played a massive role in shaping the Perth bands sound especially in their formative years. Parker emerges only when a challenge is worth his efforts. A huge part of Tame Impalas sound is the reverb and phaser sound. But this is a guy who welcomed comparisons to Pink Floyd and the Beatles and is now featured on one of the year's biggest pop records.
And yeah, it's a glittery, 8-minute "single" lit by a disco ball rather than blacklights, with no lead guitars and no indication that the new record is even done. Nothing just happens on the first single from Tame Impala's upcoming third LP, and not coincidentally, the title's implications are that Parker's very much aware of the stakes here-when he actually sings "let it happen," it could either be read as a reaction to taking flight or plunging to his death.
