tiger lillies - flying robert

[kentishtown1]

mate it's a children's cautionary tale... just saying

[skylarkflying]

the most beautiful song i have heard in quite a while. I am moved

[lipwak]

Can anyone tell me what the brass plate says on the bass? Thanks.

[DAVE32154]

How can anyone not be moved hearing a song like this.

[jbrtyn]

Hi, im Robert

[vkph64]

very beautiful song, like all these guys play

[highvoltage132000]

I'm very sad now....

[321bytor]

Brilliant. Life summed up in a song.

[themightytim1]

@michaelmouse1 you can't have looked vey hard. It actually says it at the top of the page- shockheaded peter.

[gypsyjoerosario]

People would do good to conclude by saying "in my opinion"

[Jcolinsol]

Or better yet, speak in E-Prime.

Of course, we're ignoring Hume's is-ought problem by prescribing oughts.

[bpyrad]

this group is one of the few interesting bands left...for all the artistic souls in this world who have come and gone

[egle00]

@bpyrad people have been repeating the same for centuries and somehow artistic souls are born every day :)

[ct1375]

Bien j'aime les mouches de Robert moi !

[Takac1979]

Marvelous!

[Lethas1]

This song reminds me of my father... his name was robert and while he was having a heart attack no one could hear him cry as mentioned in the song...

They saw him a few minutes after it happened and took him to the hospital... he died 5 minutes after I got there (I didn't see him die) I saw his corpse in a small room and after that he was cremated and never seen again.

I'll never forget him (till I die, of course)... my life changed completely after that day, this song makes me cry.

[Lunarwill]

Thanks for sharing this story Lethas1. Best wishes to you.

[kathodehay]

I'm sorry for your loss, Lethas1.

This song makes me cry, too. It reminds me of everyone in your life who dies.

I wish the video didn't cut off so abruptly.

[digitalshark]

Actually, I think there are a number of songs from these shows that have this effect on people. I know there was one about a Cat trying to warn it's owner, a young girl, not to play with matches. For some reason, it made me think of anything and everything in my life that made me sad, every regret I ever had and every fear of the future, as well as my empathy for animals. I still can't listen to it without crying and becoming emotionally a wreck.

[nuclearactivity666]

sorry but he was thinkin of u so its ok he didnt die alone

[derDeja]

...

[AmHiProductions]

love this number

[mik1234]

meant smile

[mik1234]

track nine, i only want to see you mile, a classic

[gypsyjoerosario]

I'd bet my house that the band members read these comments and laugh their asses off that people take what probably started off as a bad joke serious to the point of worshipping it...absofreakinlutely unreal......

[purrshaped]

people can create true art without realising they've done so, it does happen

[brcp4321]

[milbarte]

[joeyi]

What a beautiful song. Pure and simple. Gotta agree with aimlessjoys!

[yblad]

when the rain comes falling down, in the country and the town, all the good little girls and boys, stay indoors and mind thier toys, but robert says, know when it pours, its better out of doors.

Thats the beggining labios x
