2). Gaia is an alias of dutch trance producer Armin van Buuren. It was first used back in 2000 for an uplifting trance track produced for the 4 Elements festival in Holland, also titled 4 Elements. He abandoned the majority of his aliases soon after and focused on producing under his own name. However, in 2009 he resurrected the Gaia alias with Tuvan, a track produced with Benno de Goeij from Rank 1 exclusively for his A State of Trance 2009 compilation that had many parallels with his classic work. In 2010 he continued the tradition by producing Aisha for the A State of Trance 2010 compilation, also featuring heavily in the 450th episode of his radioshow.
4). If you scrobble under the Korean band Gaia ,correct your tags to 가이아 instead. Their official website lists them under the alias in Hangul. http://www.gaia.co.kr/
6). Gaia are based in South Yorkshire and were formed in 1996 after Dave and Iains first band "Strawberry Hill" split up in the early 95. In 2002 John Westy and Dave got together and have been the cornerstones of the band. Steve G joined in 2008 after the departure of long time serving drummer Steve Booth and the band are back on fire with a new album, "Sun into gold"due out in 2010 after four years since their first album attempt namely "Soulwind". This next attempt is simply more than before and has been a pleasure to create. Gaia will be gigging regularly over the next year promoting and selling what will be the bands best work so far.
Calma
Gaia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi uccide e poi mi lascia in pace
Quando una lacrima mi brucia il viso
Fuori dal paradiso
E il mare è mosso sotto l'amaca
Baciami il collo, pioggia salata
Se il vento sposta anche una virgola del mio delirio
Si sveglia il condominio
Quando è l'ora giusta chiamo un taxi
Nella giungla e vado fuori come I tuoni
Calma, calma que me passa
Accanto e mi lascia
Per la strada senza dire addio
Agli occhi di Dio
Che mi guarda come fossi un'altra
Sola ma non santa
Per la strada senza dire addio
Come faccio io
Festa stretta, corpo a corpo in una stanza
La terra vibra, muovi I piedi, mi sembra una danza
Colpo di stato di grazia
Rimango appesa a una parete
Che piano mi fa scivolare ma non si vede
E anche se cammino scalza
Stanotte il vetro non mi taglia
Quando è l'ora giusta chiamo un taxi nella giungla ma con
Calma, calma que me passa
Accanto e mi lascia
Per la strada senza dire addio agli occhi di Dio
Che mi guarda come fossi un'altra
Sola ma non santa
Per la strada senza dire addio
Come faccio io
Sem expectativa
Saturação da vida
Sem expectativa
Saturação da vida
Sem expectativa
Saturação da vida
Sem expectativa
Saturação da vida
Calma, calma que me passa
Accanto e mi lascia
Per la strada
Senza dire addio agli occhi di Dio
Che mi guarda
Come fossi un'altra
Sola ma non santa
Per la strada senza dire addio
Come faccio io
The first verse of Gaia's song "Calma" is a reflection of the singer's inner turmoil and the fleeting moments of peace she finds when she sleeps. She describes how someone or something is killing her emotionally and then leaving her in peace. The mention of a burning tear on her face symbolizes the pain she feels when she cries, which takes her away from her idea of paradise. The lines about the moving sea under the hammock and the request to be kissed on the neck with salty rain depict a desire for a sense of comfort and stability amidst chaos. The mention of the wind moving even a comma of her delirium indicates the disruptive power it has over her thoughts.
The chorus emphasizes the need for calmness in Gaia's life. She pleads for it to pass and leave her alone, walking away without saying goodbye. She compares herself to someone being watched by God as if she were someone else, not holy but not completely sinful either. Her loneliness is evident, but she still continues on her path without saying goodbye.
The second verse introduces a different scene, a crowded party where physical contact intensifies the connection between bodies. Gaia mentions how the earth vibrates and the movement of feet feels like a dance. The mention of "stato di grazia," meaning a state of grace, hints at a transcendental experience, a moment of great significance. Gaia feels suspended, hanging on a wall that slowly makes her slide even though it cannot be seen. The mention of walking barefoot without being cut by glass suggests resilience and an ability to navigate difficult situations.
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the need for calmness and the desire to move on without goodbyes. The final lines in Portuguese, "Sem expectativa, saturação da vida" (Without expectation, saturation of life), reinforce the notion of feeling overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted.
