Do you realize?!

One of my many favorites when it comes to creators of music, and experimentalists are these guys; both The Flaming Lips as well as Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. These guys have a very acute level of expression, but the minute you do tap into that you are blown away by the messages that they are portraying and how wonderful and simple it is.

This video is one of my favorites that they did before one of their shows in LA. They came and set up in a graveyard looking to play the one song, 'Do you Realize?' and those who heard the music and were just walking by were their audience. So cool, and along what Wayne says their message is, I feel it deeper then what he could express at that moment. I feel they set up and playing in a graveyard wanting passers by to stop and listen and forget about their anxiety and stress that they have that day and remember it is important to enjoy life and your happiness at all times before it is too late you are set underground like the thousands that were there present, yet not. I feel this was a main point that he had just verbally touched while there. Love em, and love their complete different path that is not mainstream in anyway. Love it!
