For people who find themselves in a situation where they must cope with a loss, music can be a tremendous source of comfort; by playing it or listening to it, feelings can be expressed and solace can be found. Out of the countless pieces of music that deal with themes of grief and change, "Do You Realize??" by The Flaming Lips really hits the nail on the head. Its heartbreakingly beautiful lyrics about optimism in the face of mortality have the power to resonate very deeply. This stripped down version sung by Beck is especially moving. His deep voice and sorrowful tone make the song even more potent than it already is.
