What’s my DNA
Can you make it change
So I can gain new insight and take flight
And never feel any pain

When you’re not of this earth
You won’t know what you’re worth
You’ve just got to take the pressure together
Or you’ll never survive in this world

I love Katie Melua’s songs. They are different, intelligent and carry a thousand meanings. Tiny Alien is one of my favourite tracks, which I think could be a reference to the mysterious creature found in Chile. It was only 7.2 centimeter long with a large head, arms and legs. It was alive when it was found and remained so for around 8 days.

Or it could very well be a reference to a tiny creature found in Mexico (2007). It was drowned by a farmer out of fear. The corpse was handed over to scientists for DNA tests. The reports then claimed the creature to be unearthly. The farmer himself though died in a parked car, which caught fire. The UFO hunters believe he was murdered by aliens in revenge for killing their child. According to some reports published much later, the creature is some kind of lizard previously undiscovered. A very strange lizard if there ever was one!

Very far fetched stories indeed! I don’t think aliens mess around here though but we can never really know right? It’s a universe full of wonders and I’m a skeptic to the core.

We know for sure that Katie Melua does have astronomy as an interest but I have no way of confirming whether the title of the song has anything to do with the incidents I’ve mentioned above. Nonetheless, it’s a lovely song with a lot of philosophy. It captured my imagination otherwise I’d never have mentioned it.

Came across a beautiful song from Julio Igleasis and decided to share the message it carries. Special thanks to Sandy for the translation!

I ran through this life so much without restraint
that I forgot that life is lived in a moment
I wanted so much to be the first one in everything,
that I forgot to live the small details.

I played so much with feelings
Living of applauses wrapped in dreams
I shouted so much my songs in the wind,
that I’m no longer as I was yesterday, I don’t know what I feel.

I forgot to live (4x)

I sang so much to love and to life
that I was left alone one day’s night
I played so much with whom I loved the most
that I unintentionally lost the best thing I had.

I sang so much to truth with lies
that I deceived, unaware that I was the one who was losing,
I expected so much, I who never offered,
that today it’s my turn to cry, I who always laughed.

I forgot to live (4x)

I ran so much trying to earn time from time
wanting to steal sleep from my nights
So many failures, so many tries,
wanting to discover something new every day.

I played so much with feelings
Living of applauses wrapped in dreams
I shouted so much my songs in the wind,
that I’m no longer as I was yesterday, I don’t know what I feel.

I forgot to live (4x)
