Just yet another sad acoustic song.

I will say it again this is not a proper band.I do have a proper band,a duo,really (I actually have two),but again is not what people usually would call a band.
Not really a band. Only little old me. But the fact it's that is open to other people to join if they want to.Usually they don't.So it is a solo act, but it's more of a project than me being all singer-songwriterish...kind of complicated. Kind of hip as well, I suppose. It isn't intentional. I started thinking about this before knowing about Bright Eyes, or Badly Drawn Boy or Iron&Wine and that kind of stuff.

Story behind the song
Inspired by: I dreamt that I was listening to a song about a space alien immigrating on Earth,and because of some biological differences with the earthlings,he couldn’t die and was condemned to stay on Earth sad and desperate thinking about his planet and his family forever.In the dream that was the saddest song I have ever heard.This one is pretty sad,but no way I could manage to make it as sad as it was in the dream.It took a while to find out the right lyrics,because all I had was the story and the overall mood. When: Late at night,2 or 3 I suppose...maybe even later. Where: In my bed. Music: If I remember correctly I was on my mother’s bed,playing guitar again without much thinking.
Lyrics
Does An Alien Dream Of A Freeing Death? (Dec 1999) When I was young and green as you dreamt I'd be I went down from my planet the world just for to see My ship she sailed on skies above All the systems I have roamed Oh me now back at home I wish I'd be Buzz off alien go away from there Are you scared by this thing my dear All the bug-eyes that I have All for crying they were made And I never ever come back home I fear I will wander through the dark planes and moors And my kinship I never shall see more Crying green tears all along in this strife Crying home death all my life And that means I'll cry forever 'Cause tomorrow is just like never When you carry all the time upon your back I am green and nasty as you hoped I'd be I am an alien and always will be My ten eyes are moist with tears And your child runs away in fear can I eat some of your petrol please kind sir?
