Do You Realize?

The Flaming Lips

After a great weekend celebrating a birthday with some incredible friends…relationships have been on my mind. And now today, I began shooting my 5th feature film ABOVE THE TREES — with some other amazing friends. My heart is full and I realize it right now in this moment. And so it made me think of this one, which might very well be a top ten song of all time. I can’t think of a more adventurous, creative band to be honest — Wayne Coyne and company are true artists who have been at it a long time! Still on the cutting edge in 2022, but this still might be the song they’re remembered for.

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?
Ah-ah-ah
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?
