Willie Nelson shares cover of The Flaming Lips’ “Do You Realize??”
Country legend Willie Nelson has shared a cover of The Flaming Lips‘ “Do You Realize??”
In an accompanying video, Lips members Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd react to Nelson’s version, deeming it “one of those dreams come true that you didn’t have a dream for.”
“It’s absolutely beautiful,” Coyne says of the cover. “Maybe we’re not allowed to say that so much because it’s our song, but it’s absolutely beautiful … Willie’s version of our song is just an utter joy.”
Coyne laughs that Nelson “probably brings more meaning to it than we do.”
You can listen to Nelson’s “Do You Realize??” cover now via digital outlets. It’ll appear on his upcoming album, Last Leaf on the Tree, due out Nov. 1.
Last Leaf on the Tree also incudes a cover of Beck‘s “Lost Cause.”
