Lost in Yesterday by Tame Impala

Amazon Music gets the credit for today’s post because I found the song on one of their discover playlists. There are so many wonderful things to say about this track – (1) it has such a trippy, new wave, dream beat, and (2) it has some great advice about letting go of the past. ‘Cause…
