![]() This is another one that’s become part of the Lips canon, and although it sounds cheery on the surface, it actually boasts some thought-provoking lyrics. Plus, it doles out some advice we can get behind: “You have to sleep late when you can, and all your bad days will end.” 8. Remember that obnoxious Daniel Powter song, “Bad Day”? This is everything that isn’t: mischievous, catchy without being annoying, an all-around great track. “The Spark That Bled” has become a bit of a live staple for the band, and it’s no wonder: There are few things as life-affirming as its simple declaration of “I stood up and I said yeah.” It might not cause a chain reaction in the song’s universe, but in a crowd of Flaming Lips fans? Forget about it. Be sure to let us know your favorites in the comments section. While it’s nearly impossible to whittle their 30-year career down to 20 tracks, we’re counting down our favorites below in anticipation of the new record. Tomorrow, Wayne Coyne and his band of fearless freaks will unleash The Terror, their 13th studio album. We know we’re in for a weird ride from the first few bars of this one, as carnival noises devolve into ‘90s fuzz. It starts out with a funky bassline that won’t quit-well, before it kinda does halfway through and the song becomes sparse and ethereal. The first words we hear on this track are Wayne Coyne saying, “You can turn it up even a little bit more,” and he’s right this is one to play loud. Off of 1990’s In a Priest Driven Ambulance, this song is the Flaming Lips sounding the closest they ever will to alt-country. Donald Trump gets name-dropped (and not in a good way), and Coyne sneers “you think you’re radical, but you’re not so radical / In fact, you’re fanatical.” Preach, Wayne. This At War With The Mystics track features a positively addictive guitar riff and the band at its most political. “He hasn’t dropped them, forgot them or anything / It’s just too heavy for Superman to lift.” “Tell everybody waiting for Superman that they should try to hold on best they can,” Coyne sings. Waitin’ For A SupermanĪ pretty melancholy number, “Waitin’ For A Superman” reminds us things can sometimes get too weighty even for superheroes. “Turn it on and turn it all the way up,” indeed. This one’s a feel-good anthem, an ode to being unafraid to be yourself. Here, they play with the soundscape, giving us drones and darker lyrics that carry them outside their comfort zone. “Evil” is much bleaker than most of the band’s catalog, and, like much of Embryonic, it’s a good indication of what we can expect on The Terror. Today, he’s clean and sober, making Coyne’s declaration of “I was glad that it didn’t destroy you, how sad that would be” all the more poignant. But Drozd later revealed that the “spider bite” was actually an infection from shooting heroin. We start with the sparse, spacey intro before moving into the song’s driving middle, finally breaking out into a trippy jam to bring it home.īy now, we all know the legend of this Soft Bulletin track: Multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd got bitten by a poisonous spider and nearly had to have his arm amputated, and Wayne Coyne penned this song about his bandmate’s close call. “Moth in the Incubator” only clocks in at 4:12, but it still manages to squeeze in three distinct movements. That metallic flavor of those clouds? It comes from their silver lining. The protagonist of this Clouds Taste Metallic track gets a migraine and “thinking that his head surely would explode, his thoughts go deeper” until he saves the world and wins the Nobel prize.
