As a black belt. In karate. Through discipline..she helped save the human race.

The positive vibration frequency from the video is overpowering,

Really? I noticed a lethargic audience and band.

I didn't know beauty could be so beautiful.

Best comment in years! Thank you mate!

How possible I have never heard such a magical song in 20 years.... now I cannot stop hearing this song.

[@bryanutility9609]

I saw them live during this album’s tour over a decade ago. What a tribute to humanity this whole album is! ❤🙏

[@mvvagner]

The world is a different place in 2020 than it was in 2011. I want to go back to 2011

[@duncanmusic5559]

Eeris, isn't it? More volatile...

It's worse today

It can only get better from here, right? Right?

It will keep decaying until God comes back. Repent now while there's time (this message is for myself too)

[@danielguerra5_]

this song is so beautiful...

[@hellodave5389]

It really is ❤️

[@scottbaker6876]

Best concert experience since my first in 1978 (Day on the Green #3 with AC/DC with Bon Scott!). The Flaming Lips opening for Beck was magic, they were magic, their music, their energy, the entire show with the giant inflatables with them in them and the rabbitt and what all heads. Their music always takes me to that experience. Golden.

[@80201337]

I love the way he blends the time in the beginning of the sing. So magical ❤❤❤

[@jasefrazz07]

its a prick tease you wait for the full song and it never arrives, ive seen them numerous times ,and i really love them,it can be the most amazing thing or really really annoying sometimes.but when its right you'll never want to be anywhere other at that point in life

[@roffew.1065]

How good is that? That's perfection!

[@JordanForPrez]

My history teacher in high school whipped out an acoustic guitar one day and played this song for us. (With zero context.) After he was finished, a kid behind me requested Kids by MgMt. My history teacher's eyes glared into that boy's soul and said "Do you have any idea what that song is about? I absolutely will not." Still don't understand what happened.

[@68rodman]

And now you have written a story to tell! I’m glad music makes you feel this way! Please don’t let it die!

[@arroys8345]

herm, what is that song about then ?

[@sixteenvalvehate]

Magically both of those songs were recorded at the same studio by the same producer.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

@@arroys8345 there are different interpretations. the most likely one to provoke a comment like that is the one about abusive parents and the kid being screwed up as a result and then either ending their own life or deciding not to have any children so as not to pass down the hurt.

[@arroys8345]

@@Hobodeluxe960 like a coping song ?

just got to see them outside in alabama and it was fucking amazing. they did this whole album and just kept playing. fuck yeah

Nope, he's just enjoying himself too. Which would be obvious to you if you weren't miserable.

[@ODOYEL224]

so does anyone know what the bubble on his guitar is for?

[@dgmaffi]

+ODOYEL224 For your visional enjoyment..... and maybe for wind protection..... and probably because it's The Flaming lips and that how they do.

[@ryancooper6896]

most likely to isolate the sound hole on the acoustic so it can be more pronounced in the mix live is my guess. or ita cuz they are weirdos.

[@cchoa26]

ODOYEL224 its to contain magical powers

So I searched for a video of a live performance of this song in which his voice wasn't all cracked but couldn't.. So I guess he's just not a live singer really

[@stephedawe2230]

95JF just his style

[@stevealex872]

Anyone know this was written after 911. Look at the album cover and you'll see the twins. Makes this song now make more sense now doesn't it?

[@v_bryce]

Where are the twin towers on the album cover

[@terryperring104]

I love Wayne, but his voice is so...unreliable. Maybe an operation would help. It does sound great. When it works properly. And in a recording studio with the benefit of many takes. But live, he makes me nervous... Still love him though!

[@terryperring104]

@H Kay No-been a fan since 1999 so, tell me the point please

[@Sam-tb9xu]

Nobody can sing a song like they did 20 years in a studio. At least not without autotune and a backing track. The sharp edges and splinters are what allows the spontaneity in tonality and timing.

[@claytonbrown7120]

Whatever

[@cesarsales22]

Admit it: you came here because of Rockband 3

[@paintore]

Flaming lips. Cool band. Probably one of the worst frontmans ever. Right next to angus. Lmao. I’m not hating or anything. Great band. An example of a good frontman is rik emmet from triumph. The skill level of a good frontman. Is a huge contrast in my opinion. Take another good one. Geddy lee. A genius. This guy aged like Limburger cheese spread.

[@Randrew]

Mmm, he started it - it's his band. He does credit Drozd as being a/the creative genius of the group, though.

[@user-zg4lp4ep4t]

Damn i love this song but WTF is wrong with his voice :/

[@getit9066]

Can you really authentically bring joy to the audience with your bass player celebrating a murderous regime that out-Hitlered the Nazis when it comes to mass atrocities?
