I'll just put the first one that comes to mind. Do You Realize by the Flaming Lips. It's also the song I used for briandmyer's post Last Chance to Play DJ. It is a very joyful song because it forces the listener to realize the fleeting nature of life and hopefully embrace it more fully. Great song!

Nice one! This is the line that hit me: Do you realize, that everyone you know someday will die. It indeed forces you to think about life, and death.

Yeah, I like that one too, especially because of the lines that follow. I was debating whether or not to post all of the lyrics earlier, but now I think I will. Hope you don't mind.

Do You Realize by: The Flaming Lips

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face Do You Realize - we're floating in space - Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know You realize that life goes fast It's hard to make the good things last You realize the sun doesn't go down It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh Do You Realize - that everyone you know Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know You realize that life goes fast It's hard to make the good things last You realize the sun doesn't go down It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face Do You Realize

Yeah the part where those lines play are my favourite part of the song! Starting from "You realize that life goes fast".
