The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?? (Official Music Video) [HD Remaster]

[@XxzezombieXx]

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.

[@nexioseptimus5099]

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.

[@mattydigs]

+Nexio Septimus That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

+Nexio Septimus Know that feeling bro. Thanks, sharing makes us less lonely =)

[@caseyroot3681]

+Nexio Septimus Sucks that he's not really that guy anymore but people change

[@mattydigs]

Casey Root 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]

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!!

[@GustavoFierroH]

@Brayden Dempsey you are not alone bro, you can talk to me anytime

[@iamthecosmos3301]

@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]

@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]

@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

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

This will always be my favorite album by The Flaming Lips. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots was part of the soundtrack of me leaving the nest, falling in love, starting art school, and just generally being excited for and overwhelmed by all the possibilities in front of me. It still means a lot, going on 2 decades.

I'm 17, and I hope to live a long life. I wish for struggle, to grow with God. I have made so, so many mistakes already, at my youthful age. It is difficult to handle the story I create every single day. The human experience is incredible, though so very isolating. We are all so alone, save for that God does know my every thought, the every intention of me. I crave the tranquility that does come with old age. I do not wish to be so neurotic, so veined with angst. I do not wish for all my contradictory ways, for the stubbornness of me. I will fair, but the journey will try me. God bless you, sir. 🙏🏻❤

[@amymorgan8641]

@@Yaardennchuukwow you are so well spoken and appear to have such depth. I have a 17 year old daughter and I teach teens, and the teenage years are tough, to be sure. It will take most of us at least a decade, if not two or 3, beyond our teens to have any real self awareness. The fact that you are able to acknowledge that your ways are contradictory and that you know your God, and know that you need Him, well, that is half the battle. Life can be isolating, especially these days with the phones, and tablets and screening services, but if you seek God, study scripture and try to know your Savior, you will realize He is with you always (Matthew 28:20) also lean into John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

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?

My father put me on to this album when I was very young, maybe 4-5 years old. Two weeks ago he was diagnosed with lung cancer. We have both always bonded over how we thought this was one of the most beautiful songs and now 20 years later the meaning of the song hits a little deeper. We’re slated to go see the lips do yoshimi in august…its hard to make the good things last but genuinely this songs helps with grasping the reality of the situation and cherishing every moment we still have together.

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.

Just now my youngest daughter and I argued, her having epilepsy keeps me from discussing things with her for fear of losing her, and then this song popped into my head, cause there’s always a song for every moment of my life. ❤ May you all continue to treasure your loved ones. Love you E.A.

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.

I have played this for my daughter since the day she was born. She'll be 3 next week. We sing it every day. I've always told her, "This is Alice's song!". So, now she says, "Mommy, play my song!". I love it. ❤

This is such a lovely song. I realized I havent aprecciated life as it should, there are so many things going on rn that i dont even have the time to "feel" the things. My father has cancer and he´s on chemos, im studying at a nursery school, theres plenty of work to do; my gf or now ex-gf left me so im on the grief process. But after listening to this song I realized that despite the bad things, there is still beauty on life, I still have my dad, I have friends, I have the economy to keep on college, Im healthy, I have almost everything I´ve ever wanted. Life has bad things that often makes you feel down, but if you´re capable to see beyond the bad things you might come across with the good things, the things that could give you the purpose to stay alive. Ik that my problems arent like extremely big problems (except for my dad´s cancer) but they´re my problems, my suffering might not be someone else´s suffering. 28/02/2024, 8:58 PM. I write this while im doing my homework, feeling a bit stressed and happy too. Love y´all :) -Luis

I had never heard about The Flaming Lips until 2012 when they came to the Czech Republic to play in a music festival. My friend had to work and I went there alone. First time in Europe, my first time in a big international music festival, knowing nobody around, first time hearing the Flaming Lips. They played in the evening. I was sitting on the ground under the huge black skies when they came out and started playing this song. They brought a huge balloon and threw it to the viewers to play. Suddenly the whole atmosphere was filled with love, and it felt like everyone became a big and happy family. I was stunned by all of this. And The Flaming Lips never left my playlist since then. It's 2024 now and this song still hits like it's the first time. Thank you The Flaming Lips for your music and for these beautiful memories.

[@deimoskaischylos]

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 to my grandfather on his deathbed, my grandfather stormed the beaches of Normandy. I remember I asked him what did war sound like? He said, "it sounded like a song". 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. Whenever I hear this song I think of him storming the beaches of Normandy. I realize that he stormed the beaches of Normandy.

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.
