Everybody’s Favourite Alien
Everybody’s Favourite Alien.
It’s a song about becoming comfortable in your own skin. Even when your own skin turns you into an outsider and a misfit.
One idea that I’ve discarded over the years though, is that being or feeling like the “Alien” is an uncommon experience. I think we’re all aliens to everybody else, if we’re honest about things. Sometimes we’re aliens to ourselves too.
When I first wrote this one, I wouldn’t have called it a “universal” kind of song. It was all about me Baby!
I don’t think that anymore.
