Do You Realize??

Posted by Kelly on June 13, 2008 in Flaming Lips, mp3, Music, Video | 2 comments

One of my daily visited music blogs, Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands, has a recurring feature where he posts YouTube videos of people doing covers of some of his favorite songs. Today he posted several videos of people covering “Do You Realize??” by The Flaming Lips. This song has been a favorite of mine for years, but I haven’t heard it in a while. As I was listening to the first video posted today, my first thought was “I like this idea”, my second thought as I started to get emotional was “I love this song, and it is so appropriate for the way I’ve been feeling lately.” I needed that today.

A reminder that we need to live life and love.

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
