"Do You Realize??" by The Flaming Lips


This is the beauty of sublime music - you can go from Elvis to a Hawaiian singer to Al Green...to the Flaming Lips. They are a longtime favorite of mine and "Do You Realize??" is a song that distills everything I love about them. It's different, makes you think, singable, and all around beautiful. I hope you enjoy it too.
Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Close your eyes and listen:
