The song is amazing. I think about my wife when I hear this song because let’s face it, I love her to death and think she is the most beautiful person in the world. Beautiful song to listen to while thinking about a beautiful girl…. awwww… I’m a sweetheart.
Recently Oklamhoma nominated the Flaming Lips as a contender for the official rock song for the state of Oklahoma. Nine other finalists also have the opportunity to have their song declared the official Oklahoma rock song. Artists who were nominated all have history in Oklahoma be it they were born there or someone from the pan handle state had something to do with a rock song that became a hit.
From September 1 to November 15 the public will vote to decide the Official State of Oklahoma Rock Song. The winning song will be presented to the State Legislature in 2009 to make it official. Votes will be taken via their website that was created called OklahomaRockSong.Org.
I think it is a great idea to give a band the opportunity to hold the title of having a song be the state song, but I have a question…
Oklahoma people who nominated The Flaming Lips…have you actually read into the song? Beautiful and deep, talking about happiness through the reality of knowing death…a little depressing to me. Still, I hope they get it.
The 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
