Do You Realize?? | FiddleHed

Here’s one of my favorite songs of all time, “Do You Realize??” by the Flaming Lips.

I play chords and sing a version arranged for the fiddle.

At the end of the video I offer some tips on singing and playing.

I played the song on “The Fiddle That Michael Gave Away” which was handmade by a FiddleHed subscriber.

We’re giving it away in a contest which ends Sunday June 20, 2021 at 8 PM PT. Enter here: https://fiddlehed.co/WinAFiddle

This was requested by a FiddleHed named James.
