Nov 6th - Songs of Importance

{As a warning, I will be quoting, copying and pasting like a motherfunker today. I am not doing this out of laziness. I just feel like it is required}

It will sound cheesy I know. The Flaming lips song "Do You Realize?" that can be found on the Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots album is my song of choice. It is such a simple song, lyrically and in composition. It is almost a mantra for me. This song does make me realize that life is very simple. Every person is beautiful in one way or a thousand. It's the calming blanket statement an over analyzing, hyperventilating person like myself needs on a regular basis. I Heart Huckabees lines to follow...

"Then over here, this is the Eiffel tower, right? It's Paris. And this is a war. And this is, uh, a museum. And this is a disease. And this is an orgasm. And this is a hamburger. - Everything is the same even if it's different. - Exactly."

This makes me feel better. Knowing we are all part of cosmos. Its comforting. Thanks for listening.

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
