    Played this at my daughter's funeral. We always would sing this together and we would both be sobbing. She was afraid of losing me and i was so scared she was going to leave me. She left. Died from fentynal laced heroin. She always thought she was never good enough. She had a heart of gold. Miss her. This is our song.

    I remember crying the first time I heard them play this in concert, and Wayne Coyne looking every single person near the stage in the eye for a second like he was asking "do you get it?" and then nodding before moving on to the next person. Few bands have the ability, fewer have the desire, and even fewer have the will to be so nakedly, unapologetically joyful and to share that with the crowd night after night.

      Huh? What do you mean? The recent stuff has been amazing and continues the experimental edge and 'psychiatric explorations' that the Lips are known for. Also, the hopeful,earnest spirit that is present in this material was not lost either. They already did Yoshimi and SB, they needed to move on. What more do you want from them?
      If you're talking about him, personally, then I haven't noticed a damn bit of difference. Maybe people don't like what happened with Michelle and that he's hanging out with Miley or whatever but we have no idea about any of that and it would be idiotic to impose judgement. Good day, sir.

    • @caseyroot3681
      @caseyroot3681 8 лет назад

      Time is subjective so I guess I mean within the last year or two I think he's changed. I think the Beatles cover album was unimpressive and cop out. I love everything up to that release, though. I agree with you that it's foolish to pass judgement on Wayne seeing as I've never met him, and people are dynamic, but from what I've read about the situation with Kliph, it seems like Wayne just tries to be cool now and isn't as genuine. Then again, it's all speculation and it doesn't even matter in the grand scheme of things. Happy Holidays if you celebrate/happy life otherwise!!

    Lyrics:
    Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face
    Do you realize we're floating in space,
    Do you realize that happiness makes you cry
    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
    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
    Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face
    Do you realize?

      @Brayden Dempsey how are you today? you're not alone at all. I've thought about ending it so many times. the pain is unbearable at times and as you say you just want out. what always stopped me was imagining the devastation it would create around me (there had already been a suicide in my family, so I had seen it with my own eyes). aren't there the samaritans where you live? they generally have helplines on 24/7. please, please, please reach out and talk to someone. you will make it man! I'm sure you have something to give to the world, even if you don't know what it is yet. a big, big hug

    • @iamthecosmos3301
      @iamthecosmos3301 2 года назад

      @Brayden Dempsey it's not a rant, no worries, you need to express yourself. there's a song by the smiths that goes 'shyness is nice, but shyness can stop you from doing all the things that you want to'. youth is cruel, and loneliness is devastating. it doesn't help to tell you it will pass though. and the fear of rejection is real. once I heard someone on a webinar say that statistics show that of all the people you meet, 33% will like you, 33% will not like you and to the other 33% you will be totally indifferent/neutral! that blew my mind! indifferent, so liberating! just think of the people you yourself see or meet that feel neither great nor horrible, just normal, or even meh... it's not that everybody will have a strong opinion on you, and even if they do it's not 100% on you, it's mostly about THEM, it comes from their brains and life experiences. hope this helps. I can suggest you two wonderful, easy to find and easy to read self-help books: 'your erroneous zones' by james dyer, and 'feel the fear and do it anyway' by susan jeffers. they will help you reflect on yourself without causing you to beat yourself up even more, and suggest simple, step-by-step strategies to improve your life. you'll find them in paperback for sure and quite likely as ebooks if you prefer the digital format. also, there's a blog by a couple called marc & angel. they're great! please do look them up, very understanding and offering practical uplifting advice. there IS a way out of there

    • @iamthecosmos3301
      @iamthecosmos3301 2 года назад

      @Brayden Dempsey it sounds like you might be a HSP (highly sensitive person). please do look this up, and understand that if so you're not 'wrong/broken', it's just that your nervous system is wired differently, and you might need a different approach with people and life in general. maybe these new friends were coming off too strong for you without meaning to. and maybe they have no idea how difficult it might be for you. I understand that for a guy it might be a lot more difficult to say 'you know, I'm a bit shy and sometimes I just freeze', but you might try: who knows, maybe they too were shy once and have made progress and will understand... I know that loneliness is horrible, but imho trying to fit in somehow and at all costs never works. I'm totally incapable of doing small talk and/or gossip for more than 5 minutes, for example, and with time I've accepted that I'm like that and I don't even try, so I look for people who I share interests with to eliminate the small talk phase :D. I would try to find a way to communicate with these new people who liked you, maybe just explaining vaguely that you're in a bit of a rough spot at the moment and appreciating their interest in you. see how they respond :). unfortunately people might not be able to 'read' you the way you read them, so you just need to find a way to express yourself. best wishes

    I once had a terrifying mushroom trip in which I thought I had died, and when I realised I hadn't died, I thought I must be insane. As the trip finally peaked and I started to recover, I put on the Flaming Lips' Yoshimi album. The walls started to glow comfortingly and The Flaming Lips explained everything to me. And one of the worst experiences of my life turned into one of the best.

Thought it was destiny...and it was for six and a half years. We've been divorced 12 years now and I still think of her fondly. Hearing it in Guardians 3 took me back, while sitting there watching the movie with our 15 yr old twin sons.

People literally leapt out of their seats and screamed when Chris started to sing and play it on piano. It was wild! Hometown heroes and all.

    When my Dad suddenly died in 2019, the day after was really hard on me, as I was all alone and left with such an overwhelming sense of sadness and grief and crying out for him on the floor. I searched for songs about losing someone/death and found this one. As I watched the video I realized very quickly my Dad was right there with me. You see, one of my dads silly yet affectionate pet names for me and all of my siblings was “pig” and as soon as this video started rolling, and that pig showed up, I knew he was simply finding his easiest route to comfort me in that dark place, through this video and song. My Dad was one of the bests, by the way.

They even played there but I missed it to see Excision (stupid of me still had fun though). When the part came on about everyone dying I almost started to cry, not in a sad way, but in such a liberating way. It felt like life slapped the shit out of me with the truth, but hugged me making me feel more safe than anything. When I got home, I hugged my parents and have been creating a better relationship with them. I love you guys

    I wise young man once said, "Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die." This song embodies that sentiment so well. Remember the simple things and enjoy what you have as best you can. Everyone has their weak moments and breakdowns, but those are just part of what it is to live life. Break, sob, hurt, and then move forward until you just cannot anymore. Wring as much out of this fleeting experience as possible until the burden is too much, or it simply ends itself for you.

I played this song for him before he died and he said " YES YES THATS IT THATS WHAT ITS LIKE TO STORM THE BEACHES OF NORMANDY" and then he died. I will never forget that moment.

    An amazing live band. Been lucky to see them 3 times, first time in a small venue with the great man stood next to me while watching the support. You will leave their show with a smile on your face.

      66flamer Spiritual is a vacuous practically meaningless word. Its means 1000 different things to 1000 different people. This song is real, its human, its facing the inevitable, its appreciating the beauty while floating on a rock around a fireball. Its accepting the madness of it all as best we can. No need to add spirituality to it. It is beautiful without it

      I think that the flaming lips are all about bridging the gap between the natural scientific reductionist view of the world with the spirituality. Talking about the universe and our role in it in terms that convey the beauty and grandeur of it all. Like the way Carl Sagan did in Cosmos. And I think that if you say that spirituality plays no role in this song, you're missing the point.

      Devin Lee i guess im just arguing semantics. Its an extremely moving song, and im a huge fan of Carl Sagan and his message. I guess the term "spiritual" is what bothers me. It is vacuous and means a million things to a million people. I can totally agree with the grandiosity, wonder, love, empathy, elation... all of it. I just dont dig that term. But to each their own, it was your initial comment, im just a comment commentor. Its all love on my end.

    My dog died 06/22/2020, it is currently 07/10/2020 5:47 am , I would normally wake up 2 minutes prior , walk him , feed him, and embrace the day, I had him him for 3 years when a virus killed his liver. I feel so lost , I felt the same type of lost when the police came 10/31/2007 to tell me my brother died. I feel that same loss while listening to this song, but it’s warm. Reminds me that sun is coming up soon. I don’t have a reason to go for a walk, but Im leaving now. Be well my friends. Love to all.

      It is 11/16/2020 at 3:55 am, I’m still depressed, I want nothing more than too reach for a bottle of Jameson that my best friend and roommate keeps in our upper cabinet, but I know that will not help. I hope whomever is reading this has a day that they can be proud of. I hope whomever is reading this has more strength than me. An old drunk once told me that nights are long and years are short, well this night is especially long and I am just waiting for the dawn. Be well my friends. Love to all.

    this video makes me realize how we prefer to look the other way around, instead of just acknowledge that life, sometimes it's hard, but, most of the time, it's just a beautiful thing and a extraordinary experience
    "Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
    Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
    Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
    Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die"

    For so many years I have been asking the Greatest Question: What is life for? What is the purpose? And I've pondered it and questioned it and the battle has caused me to actually become depressed because I couldn't find anything really "worth it all".
    Then I recalled this simple but poignant song that I had loved in the past and that had caused tears to flow freely and happily down my face. Yes I have over thought and overcomplicated life for over a decade quite literally and felt that I had no purpose or meaning to life. I felt no need or real burning desire to achieve, to find someone to love and be with again, to travel the globe, enjoy all the flavors of life and saw it all as vanity and as such had no motivation to do anything. This worsened even more after getting covid and nearly dying which made me feel feeble weak and old, worn out. But this song brought me to the realization of what I instinctively knew and that we are all mortal and that all of us are beautiful, that we should love each other and live the days we have before us happily and with the appreciation for the gift of time on earth and of all the blessings before us and to share this life with love and appreciation of others, lifting them up and encouraging them and ourselves. You see, it really is all just that simple! No big daunting purpose way too far removed from the essentials of the simple things but that if I followed the simple formula the bigger goals would naturally fall into place. Without the real gold, the basics, everything else" bigger" if you will, would be unattainable and yes vanity. It really is that simple.
    I feel in my heart more at peace now. Yes I know that I must take actions upon my convictions with daily activities that are in concert with this but at least I now have a clear answer to my question.
