I saw them coming
Landing softly in the sand
Come to land, a loving hand
I saw them landing
Sending sparks like falling snow
Heard their trumpets, peace blown
And what I saw forever changed me
From what I was before
These are beings who came from far, far away
To change the mind of war
I saw them coming
And I saw, in their eyes
Saw new kind of love I didn't recognise
Some kind of love

The Flaming Lips sono un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi ad Oklahoma City nel 1983. Il sound del gruppo, caratterizzato da una fusione di alternative rock, psichedelia e pop, è stato fin dall'inizio guidato dalla personalità carismatica del cantante Wayne Coyne. Negli anni '90 hanno raggiunto un successo commerciale con il singolo "She Don't Use Jelly", che ha dimostrato la loro capacità di mescolare elementi pop a sonorità più sperimentali. L'album *The Soft Bulletin* (1999) è considerato uno dei capolavori del decennio, ispirato da *Pet Sounds* dei Beach Boys e caratterizzato da arrangiamenti complessi e testi poetici. Il loro album successivo, *Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots* (2002), ha riscosso un grande successo di critica e commerciale, diventando il loro disco più venduto. I Flaming Lips sono noti anche per i loro spettacoli dal vivo, caratterizzati da scenografie elaborate, costumi eccentrici e l'utilizzo di effetti speciali come video, luci e coriandoli. Tra le loro canzoni più rappresentative: "She Don't Use Jelly", "Race for the Prize", "Do You Realize??" e "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots".
