The Flaming Lips // Do You Realize??
Do you realize that happiness makes you cry?
1/31/12: Come Wander With Me by Jeff Alexander and Bonnie Beecher.
I fell in love with this hauntingly beautiful song years ago after hearing it on the Brown Bunny soundtrack and Air’s Late Night Tales compilation, but I only recently discovered that the track originates from an episode of The Twilight Zone. Jeff Alexander composed the music for the episode of the same title, and actress Bonnie Beecher sings it to a man by the lake in one of the scenes. You can check out the clip from the Twilight Zone here, and listen to the full track above.
Paul Baribeau | Strawberry
To say that you are cute,
Would be like saying a strawberry is sweet,
‘Cause a strawberry has secret flavors that are sharp, and tart, and red, and deep,
And i would love to find you growing wild out by the woods,
i would make a basket with the front of my t-shirt,
and take home as many of you as I could,
And to say that you are pretty,
Would be like saying that the ocean is blue,
Cause the ocean is full of all kinds of colors,
and I see all kinds of things when I look at you,
and I want to explore you
With my tennis shoes off
Standing ankle deep in a tide pool,
with my khaki pants rolled up,
and to say that you are funny would be like saying that the night sky is black,
Cause the night sky is filled with stars and comets and planetsthat no one has seen yet,
And i want to look at you,
Lying down on my front lawn,
I’ll try to take you all in at once, but you just go on and on and on
