A Different Kind of Human (song)

## *Stories* (EP) Chronology

"**A Different Kind of Human**" is the eighteenth single released by AURORA and the fourth single and title track from *A Different Kind of Human - Step 2*. On May 31, 2019, shortly before release of the album, the song was officially released worldwide.

## About the song

In a video posted by Aurora on Twitter she said:

> "It's the new place I've created because always when people go away too soon, for example, I feel like people always say that it's always the good ones that gets taken away from us too soon, it's always the best people. And I just had a thought, what if those people came to a different planet like a safe place, and they were collected by these aliens that came to the world and kind of, took them with them, and they said *don't be scared, you're ok, you can move with us and you'll be safe and you've spent time on this planet but it's not the place for you, you have a better place where you will feel more at home, and we will take you there* And they go up to this different place where all those people can kind of live together."

The song was one of the quickest to be finished, Aurora noted:

> " 'A Different Kind of Human'. Much like "Infections of a Different Kind" came together quite magically. Like an idea sent from another place. It was very lovely."

In an interview with *Bandwagon*, she said the reason behind the song:

> "I really wanted to make a song to help people cope with death and to cope with losing people they love. That's why I wrote this song. I think it was my mum, who said to me when I was young, that it's always the good people that die and that the best people were just too good for the world. People commit suicide, which is a horrible, sad thing, but it happens everyday. It's almost like the world was too cruel for them and they were too good for this world.
> That's why I wrote this song 'A Different Kind of Human', which is about these creatures that come to Earth to a dying human. And they say, *Don't be scared, we're going to take care of you. You'll be safe and we'll take you to this new home where you’ll be with people as kind as yourself. You'll be happier at this safe place.* I was hoping it could help people who have lost someone and convey that they're in a safe place."

Oh Superman, are you with me when I am too weak

Oh Mother, are you dreaming of me in your sleep?

We have come here for you

Mothership will take you on

This world you live in is not a place for someone like you

Come on let us take you home
