Me, too.

Those are good observations. Maybe the lyrics really are that simple?

I think the lyrics are like a poem - more concerned with using metaphors to evocate a mood rather than telling a story. I think "satellite" is a metaphor for the Earth (like a diamond in the sky).

I would have loved to hear him perform it live, too, Freaka. But I don't think he ever has performed it live, has he?

You know, for YEARS, I thought this song was written and composed by Mika. Then, recently, I saw that it was on youtube and it said that it was a Dave Matthews Band cover! I felt so disappointed, yet it made sense. Why would Mika have hidden such a gem of a song on the back of a Grace Kelly single UNLESS it was a cover, right? That's the problem with buying songs on iTunes. You don't get to see the credits. Nevertheless, I still love, love, LOVE this song. I think it is really, really lovely and Mika's vocal performance is exquisite. What are YOUR thoughts on this lovely cover?
