Who knows?
Maybe there isn't a vein of stars calling out my name
No Glow from above our heads
Nothing there to see you down on your knees
Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven
(Twenty years in the future)
Off in the future maybe there ain't no heaven
It's just you and me and maybe it's just as well
'Cause if there ain't no heaven maybe there ain't no hell?

You might be surprised at the musicianship present in Oklahoma. J.J. Cale tried to teach Eric Clapton how to replicate the Tulsa Sound but Clapton could not pick up the nuance. Leon Russell, with due attribution to Dr. John, made the Tulsa Sound into an institution.

Spend some time to go outside. It's the only way to differentiate fiction from nonfiction.
Other musicians from Oklahoma include Neal Schon from Journey, Woody Guthrie, Patty Page, jazz great Chet Baker, and a whole slew of country artists like Roy Clark, Roger Miller, Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, just to name a few.

Love the wah-wah guitar sound which fades into the distance. Works well for this song imo.
I can't believe RP is ignoring the Lips wonderful 2020 "American Head".
I first gave it a 4. then I listened more. Went to 3. Listened more, went to 2.
Love this forever.
More Lips!!!

Hey at RP, the 2020 American Head is a masterpiece, it's time to play something.

This is a great song from a great band. But I have to wonder what's up with Wayne and Miley Cyrus? What could he see in her as a performer? Why would he join forces with her and potentially taint the great work that the Lips have done?
Perhaps Wayne really liked Miley's taint.
Ahem, I'll get me coat.

Ho hum.
Nice album cover...
The Lips got it right one time - Soft Bulletin is masterful. Another instance where one can champion the art, but remain reasonably dismissive of the artist. Wayne Coyne has become wain coin, yet another pop culture media clown.
Bor-ing
one of the very few flaming lips tunes that don't make my ears ache.
They are from Oklahoma, that is all you need to know.
I can't stand the vocals on this tune. Thank god for the mute button!
This song is pretty good. But what happened to these guys? They suck anymore. Ever since yoshi.

Funny, because this album (AWWTM) is generally considered their worst, or at least one of their worst, and Embryonic is considered one of their best. This is probably the only Flaming Lips album I won't bother to even listen to again.
Is it just me or does their last album just suck beyond imagining?
I really love Yoshimi and AWWTM but the new one sounds like they passed out while the tape was rolling and they released the part right after they all woke up with giant hangovers and pissed and got a big drink of water. Mind bogglingly muddled and pointless.
I have taken a lot of razzing over the years for liking these guys (I have no problem with that).
If Wayne was in this room right now I would never stop cockpunching him. Their latest is the most incoherent piece of shit ever...
I didn't even make it through the whole "album", I frisbeed it out the window of my car after about 20 minutes of sheer unbelief.
Wayne you owe me 10 bux!!! hehehe

A lot of Court of the Crimson King in those strings.
This song always reminds me of ELP or King Crimson with the keyboard sounds. Gets my attention every time. Kinda like those Flaming Lips!

I have it buried in my stack of cds to pull out on some random day far in the future to give another listen. Every now and then, a cd that I thought was a stinker ends up being a gem I wasn't able to appreciate properly at the time of purchase. However, most of the time I remember why I thought they sucked and bury them again.

I saw them in Denver about 6 or 7 years ago and I ended up walking out. They had about 10 people in fuzzy animal costumes on stage dancing while they were playing and it was really weird.

I've heard a few of their songs that I really like. This one is OK. I saw them in Denver about 6 or 7 years ago and I ended up walking out. They had about 10 people in fuzzy animal costumes on stage dancing while they were playing and it was really weird. Liz Phair opened up and it was her we went to see anyhow. Oh well.

So. Are we all agreed? This song smells like a Brussel Sprout?

Agreed ! For a variation on that theme, try Seasoned Gourmet Rice Vinegar (Marukan makes a great
rice vinigar that can be found in any of the major supermarkets.) This isn't a plug for any one brand of rice vinegar,
however, this specific vinegar and brussel sprouts go together in a delightful combo.
I like to steam the sprouts in the rice vinegar, approx. 1-2 Tbs per serving —- or to taste.
PS this vinegar also goes well with Okra.

If you look veryclosely, about 3 inches above the standing figure, you can see what is left of the house fly that Wayne incorporated into his painting.

Definitely some Pink Floyd elements in there, though I'm not saying they hold a candle to the great Pink.

A "Vein of Stars" following "All Accross The Universe". Nice Segue Bill!
Imagine if John Lennon had lived and became a fan of Japanese comic books, anime and manga. Now, listen to the Flaming Lips. See where I'm going with this?
Love this.

They have a great selection of cool albums.
Nice! You don't hear this on FM cause THEY CAN"T HANDLE IT!!!
Saw the Lips at the Del Mar Racetrack for the first time 10 days ago. What a show! 20-25 people on stage?
Wretched. 
From the 1st time I heard them in the late 90's, they've been my favorite example for the proposition that people will listen to anything...and LOVE it.

...and we heard Neil Young a few songs prior 'ripping off' "Knocking on Heaven's Door" with "Helpless". Are they the same song? NO! Would you consider Neil less of an artist for borrowing chord progressions? NO! So why should the Lips not be afforded the same courtesy?
wow, just heard another ripoff by these guys, from a Cat Stevens song.
these guys deserve credit. they really did their homework. one wonders who they might rip off next. barry manilow? chubby checker?

Funny, I don't hear anything but a great song from a group of guys who used to make stupid songs like 'She Don't Use Jelly'. I'd say they've done a pretty fine job of becoming better musicians and making some pretty fine music.

Always liked these guys, and who cares if they ripped anyone off. Just look to the office workplace to find many good ideas not compensated for and stolen for the corporate climb!!!
very evocative and beautiful song.
never heard it before...loved yoshimi though great album.

Yes, we get it. I even hear what you're referring to, though I don't think the resemblance is close enough to call it a "rip-off", there is a strong resemblance.
But...did you get so tired of being ignored that you now feel you have to double-post? Let it go. hit mute. Come back for the next song. Maybe you'll live longer.

Agreed x2
The Flaming Lips are in their own little world. It's hard for me to believe that they intentionally ripped anyone off.
One of the most clever and enjoyable bands to listen to and watch.
go listen to Love and Rockets. Lets say All in My Mind, or Saudade or Telephone is Empty and tell me this isnt a ripoff
help me out here. which Love and Rockets song is this biting on?
I listened to this CD 3 times at work today 
(I always have Flaming Lips Fridays- they are the perfect band to celebrate the beginning of the weekend with!)

...only because MMJ wasn't there...
i kid! i kid! everytime i've seen the lips it's been a stellar show. i always tell people that it's something they should do before they die; see the flaming lips, and MMJ for that matter...
Other musicians from Oklahoma include Neal Schon from Journey, Woody Guthrie, Patty Page, jazz great Chet Baker, and a whole slew of country artists like Roy Clark, Roger Miller, Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, just to name a few.
And don't forget that Buddy Holly comes from a place in close proximity to OK City but makes OK City look like Shangra La - Lubbock, TX. It's the arm pit of TX and I speak with authority. I spent most of childhood there. And oddly many great musician are from that area. Not surprising, none of them chose to live there after they became successful.
