I’ve played this song to so many people over the years, I hope you all are still smiling and always will

[@JBTheNighthawk]

This song is so beautiful and reminds of me so many amazing moments in my life with people that are long gone and still around wherever they may be. Hope y'all are gooT.😁

[@lostdog281]

Such an innovative and interesting approach to describing what it feels like to fall in love--just a great song, and Ronald Jones' sonic contributions to the arrangement cannot be overstated. . .

[@cbus]

Ronald can never be overstated. He added so much to the band. And, as sad as it was with him leaving, he made them become who they were meant to be by leaving.

[@fletchergull4825]

What an absolute masterpiece

[@carbonunit9314]

7 years of warmth and i wanna tell you thank you

[@Dethmobile]

One of my favorite love songs from the Flaming Lips. Be My Head, Ashes in the Air and What is the Light are right up there, too.
Cheers!

[@prozacpeople]

An epic album, wonderfull song, perfect band! I miss this old Flaming Lips style of so much guitar noise!

[@mr.b7586]

My favorite Lips album

[@ashlimidey4035]

The noise from the old days was awesomeness!

[@mizpurdy2700]

The bestest most beautiful noise!

[@dougsmith7083]

The live shows of this era...with the Xmas light show...with Steven's "Bonhamesque" drumming and, Ronald Jones' unparalleled guitar treatments...game changers

[@nstvotvzoso1]

such a beauty of an album...

[@shadowmod3]

@flaming lips
one of the few alt rock bands of the 90s that still feels the same.
thanks for not abandoning the way you sound. and thanks for still being around.
all the best.

[@kewandnotu]

This is an old song - the video was put up in 2013 but this song was from 20+ years ago

[@rejectrealism]

M8 they sound REALLY different now.

[@lamestudiosinc418]

@@rejectrealism Their sound has changed yes, but you can't deny that they're definitely still the same old band we've always known.

[@ashlimidey4035]

But they changed .. started with their song being sold old in the Batman movie ☹️ Still love them to death but rarely listen to the newer albums

[@rubenswart]

Astonishingly good!

[@Koshirozation]

It's like I never had to see it in your eyes or feel it
I could tell when you smile
It's like I didn't need to say anything or do much
I could tell when you smile
All of the subatomic pieces come together
And unfold themselves in a second
Every single molecule is right
When all of the subatomic pieces come together
And unfold themselves in a second

[@predeterminedmeat5024]

Everytime i listen to this song all of the subatomic pieces come together and unfold themselves in a second :) .

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

Even before I went over to the piano I already knew this was in D major. Because it was just a happy song. (But I still checked anyway to make sure!)

[@stevievelarde6835]

Awesome

[@mikem3779]

I like bands that sing about molecules and subatomic pieces in lyrically heavy but musically light-hearted ways

I can't wait to see these guys at the X-Games in Austin - June 5-8, 2014.
Another great drummer in Steven Drozd!

[@usernamebada42]

I miss Ronald Jones

[@deadmandreams]

I was just thinking that today before I read this message from 6 years ago lol

[@weekendwarrior6555]

@@deadmandreams if it helps I think about it at least once a day. It's been going on for a long time now.

[@deadmandreams]

@@weekendwarrior6555 Sounds like we are on a similar wavelength!

[@jowlorenz9555]

Almost as if the lips really sold their soul when they ditched him .

[@Ghoopty]

Me too. Too bad Stephen had to get hooked on heroin - that’s what drove him away.

[@ruthdixon7807]

looked forward to their later dreamy experiments on the soft bulletin album.

[@deadmandreams]

I'd also love to see the Flaming Lips do an album with James Iha from the Smashing Pumpkins on guitar. A Heavy/distorted Lips comeback!

[@ashlimidey4035]

Blissful noise

[@evrecegwgegebrvr]

1:35 and 2:17 used to always horrify me for some reason, now they are my fav parts!

[@mizpurdy2700]

Such a badass song!

Best 4 piece ever

[@reptile1248]

the best part about this video is how Wayne strums his guitar at 1:23

[@reesetorwad8346]

💘💘💘 High volume recommended for best results, and one of the greatest, yet simplest, guitar solos ever made

[@karlmorris-xz6iq]

[@strawberrycoughdrops7650]

I've been listening to this band tripping daisy recently and this sounds very similar.

[@AwsomestCody]

Strawberry Cough Drops These guys reminded me of The Polyphonic Spree. So I totally get that.

[@Ghoopty]

Very true. And geographically they’re similar too. The Lips are from Oklahoma, Tripping Daisy were from Texas.

[@venostar]

I miss this FL line up...those were the days I discovered them and started to buy their albums...great band !!!

[@nerdycat9180]

*When you smile!*

Wayne looks like Bret 'The Hitman' Hart in this.

[@dougsmith7083]

PERFECTION

[@BoHonkey]

Yes!

[@FeloniusMonkInGSharp]

Really dig the sped up live version off the 20 years the fearless freaks CD.

Amazing!

Summer in December this comment just made me smile

[@hollowify_tensa_zangetsu]

I noticed in my life when I went to record stores fye tower etc. I was always drawn to album covers. Californiaction, clouds taste metallic and others I would just stare at these covers and later when I found out about those bands they were huge in my musical development. It is such a cosmic accident but its great

[@jasonmuhsmann5670]

We miss you Ronald Jones!

[@ledgerjeff]

people actually dislike this...smdh
