I've listened to The Soft Bulletin about a million times but yesterday I literally stopped what I was doing to re-listen to this song.
It goes:
What is the light
That you have
Shining all around you?
Is it chemically derived?
Cause if it’s natural
Something glowing from inside
Shining all around you
It’s potential has arrived
Looking into space, it surrounds you
Love is the place that you’re drawn to
Looking into space, it surrounds you
Love is the face that you’re drawn to
What is the light
That you have
Shining all around you?
Is it chemically derived?
I immediately thought of L.; her light and potential have most definitely arrived. I began cataloging my experiences, moments of time and life really in terms of Flaming Lips songs. God Walks Among Us Now was listened to on repeat that night with him. When I was pregnant I sang Rainin' Babies for 9 months and it was the first song our little girl heard. Felt Good to Burn has the most subtle poignant lyric, "I wasnt waving goodbye, I was saying hello". The first time I heard it I cried and did not know why. The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song, is unfortunately on a Kraft salad dressing ad but the song still moves me and I've listened to it 100 times or more. Wayne says, "With all your power, what would you do"? The Flaming Lips have changed my mental make up. Wayne, Steven, Michael and Kliph...
