[GReck4]

If you haven't already done so, check out a 45-documentary on the making of 'The Soft Bulletin' here on Pitchfork TV.

[downrodeo2112]

@GReck4 It was so good

[CaitlinAhh]

To truly understand the awesomeness of the Flaming Lips...you must see them live. They are unbelievably amazing!

[concubineee]

Ew, this sounds like shit. Iron & Wine version for life!

[funyun2]

@concubineee how does it feel to know that you're extraordinarily wrong?

[concubineee]

@funyun2 I can't dig it. I'm just not a fan. 

[sweethairyjesus]

I do like the Flaming Lips, but this is a shockin' awful vocal performance.



[hecskatestrat]

@Gazbby fuck you man, and fuck all the haters who don't apresiate the good meaningful music that the lips provide to us

.

[Pippostene4]

the best song in this 10 years

[Toadinohio]

I <3 Steven

[Christophersboyd]

Iron and Wine's cover of this song is incredible. Highly recommend it to all.

[HANandGREEDO]

It's so beautiful to see them this mellow, Wayne even has his hair combed!!

[jakjonsun]

I feel like the drummer is dragging a bit . . . any actual musicians want to comment on that?

[casantiago124]

@jakjonsun ya i think so a bit, and his voice is not always on pitch, i dont know if thats just the way he sings but he's not on pitch a lot...

[luckylongarm1]

he wouldn't make it past the first round of american idol

[MEGASICKPUPPIES]

i love this song, by the soft bulletin in 1999, an amazing album, I LOVE THE FLAMING LIPS!

[rex666777]

hit me when i needed it many years ago. thanks wayne.

[GreatestOfAllTime5]

One of the best albums I have ever heard

[juancheee]

Si fuera nena, entraría a mi fiesta de 15 con esta canción!

[Aresftfun]

*sound

[Aresftfun]

/watch?v=a0DBrnEludY

I like this cover better. Meh. It might be that i heard it first, but it really does sand better to be honest.

[Dakrocker]

where is the drummer?

[NoHero85]

@Dakrocker Kliph wasn't with then yet back then, at the time it was just Steven, Wayne, and Micheal. Steven covered the drums for them.

[grotso]

is it just me, or do you think the singer should look for a new occupation....

[djh0267]

@grotso fuck you wayne is more talented than you can ever dream to have

[Aresftfun]

@djh0267 umad bro?

[popomczowzow]

@grotso he writes/composes the bulk of their material (I'm almost sure he writes it *all*, but I don't want to make that statement without looking further into it) and plays a huge part in the recording process by playing several instruments and helping produce each track. without him there would be no lips whatsoever

[ralieghTsakers]

gotta love those fearless freaks

[prowdigy]

i absolutely love his live performance style in this one

[wheyman1]

My top five songs will often vary but this song will always be in there. Amazing lyrics, so meaningful and very true.

[killkill120]

I saw them in my hometown OKC About Four times. I played a marching butt hole head/ vagina head in Chris on Mars and did extra stuff in two of their videos. I love them! They are a big part of my life!

[skier2390]

If you guys think this video is awesome, then check out porgy master. its hilarious. just look up "Porgy Master" in the the search bar!

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

So glad that Drozd quit heroin.

[ilovecowslol]

iron and wines version is better in my opinion but if its really about his dad then i think he wrote something a whole lot deeper than he realizes

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@ilovecowslol Iron and Wine is for faggoty hipsters. GTFO my Flaming Lips.

[AlexStensby]

I had to share it with Facebook to get it up to 1999 shares.

[wetherholtz]

que pasò con los videos del disco "Soft Bulletin"?

[unclerick441968]

I heard he wrote this song for his dad...who died of cancer

[Gosiak88]

A bit out of tune... ;/

[jasonbloss]

amazing performace. hung out with coyne a few times, he's a great guy.

[sueric123]

Wayne Coyne is a prophet in disguise.

[inputmodule]

Drozd is so amazing, it scares me. or scars me, dunno...

beautiful song, beautiful version.

good they didn't fuck it up with bad theremin

[DarkAngelEU]

this song is heartbreaking.. but the cure is Do You Realize?? ^^

[GoodApolloImSteve]

Drozd is ridiculous. How can one guy be SO FUCKING GOOD

[ThePoorhillbilly]

Drugs!

[ThePoorhillbilly]

i love how wayne coyne pretends to be jesus, so all the christians dig it. but he's just being wayne

[Tabarnak99999]

What a precious gem we got here! Wayne sings so well in that one. Excellent

[poolboyinla]

I like Scott Weiland's version of this song.

[ZepRix69]

One of the best performances I've ever seen from the Lips.

[icecreamscuseme]

Why does he try to set the microphone on fire?

[TheLoverlyMe]

thanx for posting! :DDD love it! :DDDDD

[enjoyenjoi638]

awesome,

but i wish the drummer was there..

[nikorble2]

actually, he's there, the drumer is steven

[spankythedog56]

@enjoyenjoi638

hes the one playing the piano. the multitalented mother fucker.

[Tracebebo]

@enjoyenjoi638 Steven, the one who's playing piano is the one who used to drum. From 1999 and up he did guitar and piano. The band uses backing tracks if you didn't already know lol ;-)

[65bluegreen]

Loved this song the first time I heard it back in the 90s still brings a lump to my throat! Great entertainment live as well

[thepumpkinhead33]

this song is beautiful. its the only song in the world that brings a tear to my eye.

[alanisbad]

Absolutely gorgeous song. Good post

[lukehill1701]

[charlieohms]

[melenmelenmelen]

Everyone sounds fantastic. Wayne's voice is great here.

[terbsr]

[Lacrymosa121381]

Race for the prize was released on an official DVD. This was only on the broadcast and is sourced from a private recording.

[sparkeezy]

Thanks so much for this, always wanted to see it. I know they did 'Race For The Prize' too, but did they do anything else on this show?

Thanks again.
