The Castle

The Flaming Lips

One thing I love about this band is that they can sure come through with a feel good song when you need it — but it’s generally something that is meaningful and still restrained enough that you never tire of it. This beautiful track is from 2017 — they just keep making great music. Wayne Coyne strikes me as a happy person — also someone who is most happy when he’s creatively satisfied. That joy comes through in this one — also a great video. From a great record called OCZY MLODY. ❤️

Her eyes were butterflies
Her smile was a rainbow
Her hair was sunbeam waves
Shining 'round like a halo
Her face was a fairy tale
That has a poison apple
Her skull was a mighty moat
Her brain was the castle

And the castle gets mistaken for a ship that's floating in the clouds
And the castle is brighter than a thousand Christmas trees
And the castle can never be rebuilt again
No way
