"TOUCHES YOU" thread

[Blue Sky]

This is one of my favourite songs:


You think you're better
You're better than me
You blow me off as history
To avoid conversation
you're ignoring me

When you've had enough and you need somebody to know
Well you're looking tough but you need a way to let it go
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
When I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you

For fear of losing, losing your way
just stop and listen to the things that they say
To avoid confrontation
You walk away

Growing up, found the need to compromise
Well I've had enough 20 years and I realized
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
When I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you

When you've had enough and you need somebody to know
Well you're looking tough but you need a way to let it go
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
But I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

This isn't a perfect love
One that we're guilty of
What am I supposed to do
Can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me Touching you (repeats)

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be

Can't seem to leave you along
Whatever else that touches you

I'm quite interested in hearing the whole song, it sounds like a pre-teen stalker who's obsessed with their first crush :roftl::roftl::roftl:

[keti]

I love the song :roftl::wub2: It's so fun!

[ada692]

It's one of my favourites too, I love the choir in the background! :mf_lustslow:
And, the song reminds me very much of George Michael, it's cool.

I was thinking George Michael as well -- it's reminiscent of a faster "Father Figure." :)

[violet_sky]

And, the song reminds me very much of George Michael

Yes, that's what I thought when I first pre-listened. I wish the album was available already in my country. :annoyed_h4h:

[Lena]

I too liked this song at once. Simultaneously with " By the Time ". And others too...
But I do not understand words and I react to a melody and iridescent the Mika's voice is gentle streamlet:wub2:
Thanks for lyrics Blue Sky!!, I have gone to translate. Clumsily)

[vanessa]

I thought the same! I laughed when I was listening to it.


Then danced like a madman :teehee:

Me too and I can imagine a video for it already :naughty::roftl:

Could you imagine Mika as your MOTHER? :roftl: :lmfao: :lmao:

Not likely...I'm sure it's just a metaphor...

[RainbowGirl]

OMG! i love this song! i have a little dance which i worked out in my head for the chorus part which i could never do but it's good... in my head... you wear some pink shorts... never mind xxx

[mandilambi]

It's one of my favourites too, I love the choir in the background! :mf_lustslow:
And, the song reminds me very much of George Michael, it's cool.

That's what I thought when I heard it.

[Dark Angel]

Definitely one of my faves. atm. :pbjt:

Im looking most forward to hear that one and I See You most atm.

[purplegrape]

Who doesn't want Mika to sing about how badly he wants to touch you? :lmao:

[Fmbm]

I think this is my favorite song from thew new album :fangurl:


And excuse my pervy thoughts, but does anyone else think it might be about masturbation? :teehee:

[Christine]

I have absolutely no idea what this song is about. :teehee:

[sienna]

Don't you say touches you in a meaning of emotionally touching?:blush-anim-cl:

[violet_sky]

I don't know the full song, let alone the lyrics, but... has anyone ever thought that 'I wanna be whatever else that touches you' could be meant in a totally non-physical way? Is it just me? It's not my mother tongue, so it might be missig the point, but don't you use the verb 'touch' if something or someone affects you on an emotional level as well?

[violet_sky]

Don't you say touches you in a meaning of emotionally touching?:blush-anim-cl:

Aw, you wrote what I wanted to say while I was still fidgeting with the words :wub2: Great minds think alike, they say.. :roftl:

[mandilambi]

Don't you say touches you in a meaning of emotionally touching?:blush-anim-cl:

I am thinking it means that, too.

I considered that, but I like to believe Mika's a big pervert. :naughty:

[violet_sky]

I considered that, but I like to believe Mika's a big pervert. :naughty:

See, and once again he managed to please everybody. :naughty:

[natmika]

Some articles I've read say that Touches you is a song about jealously, about wanting to be anything that touches the skin of the person you like.

[RainbowGirl]

Who doesn't want Mika to sing about how badly he wants to touch you? :lmao:

i thought that when i first heard it! :naughty:

[CazGirl]

I think this is my favorite song from thew new album :fangurl:


And excuse my pervy thoughts, but does anyone else think it might be about masturbation? :teehee:

ROFL what?! :lmfao: where did you get that idea from?!

[Fmbm]

ROFL what?! :lmfao: where did you get that idea from?!

The lyrics :lol3:

[CazGirl]

The lyrics :lol3:

I have re-read the lyrics and I do not understand where masturbation comes into it :roftl::aah:

[Fmbm]

I have re-read the lyrics and I do not understand where masturbation comes into it :roftl::aah:

"It comes with the territory," as Mika would say. Hop in my mind and then it will all make sense :freak:

I think you're both onto something there. Yes, I would say that "I'm
touched" if someone did something special for me. So there's the
physical touching, as well as the emotional touching. :thumb_yello:

[RainbowGirl]

I think this is my favorite song from thew new album :fangurl:


And excuse my pervy thoughts, but does anyone else think it might be about masturbation? :teehee:

well lollipop seemed clean enogh until you actually stopped dancing and listened to the lyrics. So who knows?!?! could be... this is Mika!

[ewokwicket]

physical touching, as well as the emotional touching. :thumb_yello:


I was thinking along the same lines too, as in the emotional use of touches you.

This song has been in my head ALL day today!! :sneaky2: Been driving me slightly mad.:naughty:

[racinghorse83]

:shocked:

you guys.. i didnt even think of physical touching.. to me it seemed completely obvious that it was emotional touching.. and i think the brother, sister, mother, father thing also fits.


aside from that..

I LOVE THIS SONG ITS BEEN IN MY HEAD ALL WEEK :swoon:

[mellody]

first thing that sprang into my ear when hearing a song is that it's a perfect cha-cha. :naughty: i hope it will be a single, then i can dance to it in my courses. :biggrin2:

[racinghorse83]

does anybody have mp3's of the new clips?

[Fmbm]

*backs away from the creepy masturbation lady*

:naughty:

Now you're making me look creepy :sneaky2::tears:
I don't do that. Mika does. :shun:

[chickadee]

I think this is my favorite song from thew new album :fangurl:


And excuse my pervy thoughts, but does anyone else think it might be about masturbation? :teehee:

That thought entered my head as well.... Not from the mashup, but from the link Mellody posted in the "I See You" thread, which takes you to Amazon and gives you a slightly different part of the song.

I don't know the full song, let alone the lyrics, but... has anyone ever thought that 'I wanna be whatever else that touches you' could be meant in a totally non-physical way? Is it just me? It's not my mother tongue, so it might be missig the point, but don't you use the verb 'touch' if something or someone affects you on an emotional level as well?

I agree... But we're also talking about a "teenage male" here. And while I'm not saying they don't have deep emotional experiences, they can tend to have a preoccupation with the physical.:naughty:

[chickadee]

If you go to this site and have a listen, I'm sure it plays you a little bit back from where we'd already heard....

...Touching me touching you


"Touching me touching you I wanna touch your bluueessss yeah! I believe in a thing called love, just listen to the rhythm of my heart..." :fisch:

Sorry I read the first line and that's all I could think of. :teehee::naughty:

Honestly before I listened to the mashup on myspace I thought this was going to be a dirty song because all I could hear was him wanting to be whoever else touches you. Then when I listened to the mashup I realized it wasn't THAT type of touching.

[Louiza]

To be honest, I thought it sounded like some of the threads/people on here, (not necessarily pre-teen....) we might know his source of inspiration better than we think.:mf_rosetinted:

:roftl::roftl::roftl:

Sorry I read the first line and that's all I could think of. :teehee::naughty:



:roftl:
When I read those words 'Touching me touching you ' here I was thinking hard in which song I heard the same line- and yes, it was The Darkness song :thumb_yello:... I mean, in no way are these songs similar but reading that line made me think of that song, too:biggrin2:

[Zsina]

Okay, my first post on here..this song is amazing.....:mf_lustslow:

Eargasmic!

It reminds me of a George Michael song though. ....I'll try to figure out which.:biggrin2:

[sienna]

Arghhh!:aah:

This waiting is quite simply driving my crazy!:squirrel:

I don’t think I’ve been so impatiently waiting for something since I was little and was waiting for Santa Claus!:blowup:

[suzie]

It reminds me of a George Michael song though. ....I'll try to figure out which.:biggrin2:


:blink:
...to me the music does not remind me of GM at all:blink:

wait... let me read the lyrics...
"I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too"

hmmmm...

perhaps this one:
'I'm not your father
I'm not your brother
Talk to your sister
I am a lover'
:naughty:

PS: let me know if this helped :teehee::biggrin2:

[Fmbm]

Yeah the lyrics are similar, but it's not really the lyrics for me....this could be GM song too in my opinion, really that style...I mean..listen to GM's voice in Amazing for example, they sound alike with Mika's.

I know there's a certain rythm too that reminds me of a GM song, I couldn't figure out which on yet, but I will try...I'm working it! :biggrin2:

I love the song, I love GM too, so it's all good. :roftl:


Edit: Hm....maybe Freedom 90' ...a bit faster and newer....

yeah definately I think that's what I hear in it.....Touches you is faster though, but please check it out! The rythm and the way the song is sang, expecially from : 'I think there's something you should know..I think it's time I...' and "All we have to do now..." and 'that'S what you get.....sometimes th eclothes do not make the man....'

compared to Mika' I wanna be your brother....

I might be wrong tho, but I feel them alike a bit, and it's not bad, I love Freedom. :biggrin2:

I'm listenning to the song on amazon anyway...you too?

[suzie]

:shocked:
Oh no, don't even mention the song 'Amazing' or I run away screaming ...

(:biggrin2:)

[Marianne84]

I didn't even think of anything else than emotional touching, wanting to be close to someone's heart even if they wouldn't want to be close to you...

You are such perverts most of you! :roftl:

[sariflor]

Yeah, "Father Figure"

I'm totally with you here, the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard this one is "George Michael" and also Father Figure. It's not like the song is similar per se, but the style, the music, some of the lyrics, and then the whole George Michael vibe is (to me) very very clear.

I do love GM anyway so I love this song, and I think it's a great one, but I can't not see the GM in it. I find it really strong.

[B!anka]

Sorry for being a pain...do we have a link to download those on amazon.de? :naughty: I have "TY" stuck in my head....

[lollipop_monkey]

Thanks for lyrics Blue Sky!!, I have gone to translate. Clumsily)

Sometimes I envy that you don't speak much English. When you listen to Mika's music, you hear the tone of his voice; trying to understand the words just isn't a distraction for you like it is for me. That must be so wonderful. :wub2:

I don't know the full song, let alone the lyrics, but... has anyone ever thought that 'I wanna be whatever else that touches you' could be meant in a totally non-physical way? Is it just me? It's not my mother tongue, so it might be missig the point, but don't you use the verb 'touch' if something or someone affects you on an emotional level as well?

I thought about that, but there's something so overtly sexual about the beat of the song, and the tone in his voice. I wonder if we're in for some more Sweet Dreams style dancing when he performs this. :das:

Now you're making me look creepy :sneaky2::tears:
I don't do that. Mika does. :shun:

Hey now, apparently 95% of males in Western nations partake in that passtime. :naughty: I'm sure Mika's no exception.

[CazGirl]

Hey now, apparently 95% of males in Western nations partake in that passtime. :naughty: I'm sure Mika's no exception.

I wasn't saying Mika doesn't do it, I just don't think it's what the song's about :roftl::lmfao:

I take this song as someone...who really likes someone but can't get close to them, so he wants to be someone else who is close to them so that he can just be with them.

Does that make sense?

EDIT: Mana I just saw your white writing when I quoted you LOL!!

Yes, indeed! It's really strong, and I love GM too, so it's all good. :biggrin2: I even think that their voices are somehow similar. Sometimes really high, emotional and beautiful....:wub2:

(I might be wrong though, coz for the very FIRST time I heard Mika singing Grace Kelly on the radio I thought it was Robbie Williams....lol...:roftl: )


@Suzie....sorry lol, no more mentioning Amazing....not my fav song either, but not so baaaad. You must be really angry to GM lol, he's just retired, don't turn away from him only coz of that.....:roftl:

Well that's what I thought it was about. Not the whole song mind you, but certainly part of it.:naughty:

[nightingale]

It's my least favorite so far. I don't really like it. At all. It's just so generic sounding. Very mainstream pop.

[nico_collard]

And excuse my pervy thoughts, but does anyone else think it might be about masturbation? :teehee:

:lmfao:

Never considered that before...

I'm totally with you here, the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard this one is "George Michael" and also Father Figure. It's not like the song is similar per se, but the style, the music, some of the lyrics, and then the whole George Michael vibe is (to me) very very clear.

This just reminded me...


Am I the only person who thinks that part of Touches You sounds like Love Today???

Seriously... I can hear it...

I thought about that, but there's something so overtly sexual about the beat of the song, and the tone in his voice. I wonder if we're in for some more Sweet Dreams style dancing when he performs this.

I certainly hope so too...

I think so too. Especially the "walk away.." :naughty:

I think so too. Especially the "walk away.." :naughty:


Ooooh good... I'm glad I'm not completely nuts then! :naughty:

No, in no way are the songs even remotely close but reading the 'touching me touching you' part made me laugh and caused my mind to wander. :naughty:

I wonder what it'd be like to have Mika do a song like that. :teehee:

[suzie]

:Am I the only person who thinks that part of Touches You sounds like Love Today???

I think so too. Especially the "walk away.." :naughty:

only that part... as the rest is GM:naughty:

[Jazzy]

I'm so excited for this song - this and One Foot Boy, they're the ones that I'm super excited about. How long left? Four weeks? GAAAAAAH I'm excited!

[Soaring Simpson]

ARe there any other English Goldlings that can't help thinking about Prince Charles when they hear "... anything else that touches you"?

[sienna]

only that part... as the rest is GM:naughty:

My brain is having a pause...what is GM?:wink2:

Yeah! I know!:biggrin2:

No, but please tell! The Royal English family is an interesting family, all of them.
We have a Royal family in Sweden too but they are mostly very boring!:naughty:

[Jazzy]

Better to have them boring than to have them dressing up as Nazis for fancy dress parties. ;)

[sienna]

Better to have them boring than to have them dressing up as Nazis for fancy dress parties. ;)

:shocked:

I guess!

[vanessa]

My brain is having a pause...what is GM?:wink2:

George Michael I think :teehee:

[sienna]

George Michael I think :teehee:

Oh thanks!:doh:

[suzie]

George Michael I think :teehee:

Oh thanks!:doh:

Well, it can also be General Motors but in this case I meant the previous one:biggrin2:

[IngievV]

And it sounds like he used the same beat for Touches You and One Foot Boy, but OFB is slower...




Yes, I am bored! :naughty:

Nah One foot boy and Touches you are different beats, defo

[Dark Angel]

:lmfao:

Never considered that before...



This just reminded me...


Am I the only person who thinks that part of Touches You sounds like Love Today???

Seriously... I can hear it...



I certainly hope so too...



I'd go with this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFXkmuPTmLo

:swoon: :drool: Love those mves....

[nico_collard]

only that part... as the rest is GM:naughty:

I don't hear GM...

And this might come across as a really stupid thing to say, but how do you know what the rest of the song sounds like? :blink:

Or am I taking where you say "the rest is GM" way too literally :naughty:

Nah One foot boy and Touches you are different beats, defo

To me it sounds the same :dunno:

:swoon: :drool: Love those mves....

So do I..

I should've asked him to dance like that in the petition... :das:

[Sabine64]

ARe there any other English Goldlings that can't help thinking about Prince Charles when they hear "... anything else that touches you"?

It was my first thought when I heard the text. That story was in the German press very big......

[suzie]

And this might come across as a really stupid thing to say, but how do you know what the rest of the song sounds like? :blink:


I meant 'walk away' from LT and the rest resembling stronly to GM's style in general when he was writing great pop tunes and 'sexy' lyrics... I haven't heard more than what you have..:wink2:

[xlindee]

I think so too. Especially the "walk away.." :naughty:

Yeah!
And when I heard that ''hey hey'' bit I immediately had to think of Big Girl:naughty:

Oh, Sienna, it's just that Charles supposedly told Camilla on the phone he wanted to be her Tampax and the phone call was supposedly recorded by some paps or whatever and it spread like butter in summer, in the 80's...:teehee:

And as I am probably already doomed to go to the Naughty Corner as soon as Guy sees the above, it's safe to say that i came home to find out that One foot Boy is about Da Golden Area, By the times is about sleeping pills, Touches you is about tampons....

Wonder what Dr. John and Pick up off the floor are really about ??????

"Oh, Dr. Jooohhhhn, what am I doing, what am I doing wrong? Cos Iiiii keep on trying! Something ain't goin, something ain't going on..."

BLATANTLY, Dr. John is the luuuurrrve doctor and Mika needs some help....

Mika could always come to us, or, specifically, me :mf_rosetinted:

[Sabine64]

Charles said he wanted to be her tampon so he could always stay in her underware ( in touch with her).

Charles said he wanted to be her tampon so he could always stay in her underware ( in touch with her).

Would he not rather BE the underwear though? Creepy man!

I'll start at the ''You walk away'' bit.

''You walk away.
HEY HEY.
Growing up wanna be too (..)
HEY HEY
I've had enough 20 years (..)
HEY HEY
(..) down (..) do
When I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you.''

Growing up when I need to compromise
When I've had enough
20 years and I realize
Come on now
What's a boy supposed to do
When I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

?? :naughty:

[Dark Angel]

Can i dedicate this to Mika?

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you

:naughty:

Nice. I really couldn't figure out most of that:naughty:

[suzie]

So, is there actually a meaning to the lyrics other than the boy being obsessed? :blink:

[Gatagordinha]

I thought he said this song was about jealousy? Or envy, rather. Envying other kids at school and the things they have, or wanting to be like them.

I don't think it's about sexual obsession.

[xxmika-maddo-joxx]

:wub2: :wub2: I'm In Love :wub2: :wub2:

[natmika]

Why do I have the feeling that everyone here has had access to the complete songs?:blink:
You are not making my I'm-not-gonna-download-the-album-before-the-release resolution an easy one!:sneaky2:




Okay, maybe I should stop stalking the song's threads then:naughty:

[RainbowGirl]

:wub2: :wub2: I'm In Love :wub2: :wub2:

i would say 'join the club' but you already did! :naughty: :teehee:

[suzie]

I thought he said this song was about jealousy? Or envy, rather. Envying other kids at school and the things they have, or wanting to be like them.

I don't think it's about sexual obsession.

yes, perhaps not envying but trying to identify with them / wanting to be like them as you said... although there is still lust underneath, I think..

[RainbowGirl]

i think it could it be about fancying someone in school but you never think you're good enough for them though you'll do anything to be close to them? :dunno:

or have we already had this?

[Dark Angel]

:wub2: :wub2: I'm In Love :wub2: :wub2:

Ditto :mf_lustslow: :pbjt:

[Dark Angel]

This is one of my favourite songs:


When you've had enough and you need somebody to know
When you're looking tough but you need a way to let it go
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
When I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
If you're ever losing, losing your way
just stop and listen to the things that they say
To avoid confrontation
You walk away

Growing up when I need to compromise
When I've had enough 20 years and I realize
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
When I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you

When you've had enough and you need somebody to know
When you're looking tough but you need a way to let it go
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
But I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

You blow it on, feels history
To avoid the conversation
You road on me

[Dark Angel]

That's what i am wondering too :blink:

[Blue Sky]

At the beginning :

You think you're better
You're better than me
You blow it on, feels history
To avoid the conversation
You road on me

That would be your attempt at the bit from the download none of us should have heard. :sneaky2: I will alter the first post on tuesday when I get the Japanese official release.

But for the record here I believe the words are:

You think you're better
You're better than me
You blow me off as history
To avoid conversation
you ignore me

[chickadee]

So BS I'm confused. Are you saying you've already heard it? Did you download it?

[suzie]

I will alter the first post on tuesday when I get the Japanese official release.


Is the Japanese release different from the international edition as far as you know? ( I mean anyting extra..etc)

[Blue Sky]

The Japanese CD appears to be the same as one of the other Uk ones for now. Tuesday will tell!

[suzie]

Hot off the press!!! thanks :thumb_yello:

[Blue Sky]

From the Japanese printed lyrics:

You think you're better
You're better than me
You blow me off as history
To avoid conversation
you're ignoring me

When you've had enough and you need somebody to know
Well you're looking tough but you need a way to let it go
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
When I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you

For fear of losing, losing your way
just stop and listen to the things that they say
To avoid confrontation
You walk away

Growing (up) found the need to compromise (printed version left out "up")
Well I've had enough 20 years and I realized
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
When I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you

When you've had enough and you need somebody to know
Well you're looking tough but you need a way to let it go
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
But I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

This isn't a perfect love
One that we're guilty of
What am I supposed to do
Can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me Touching you (repeats)

I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be

Can't seem to leave you along
Whatever else that touches you

This is Track 8. And Andy is there singing along, probably just like us...:naughty:

I wanna be wanna be, whatever else that touches you...

Except he can touch and we can only look.

I think this is a "stalker" song almost more than I see you. :aah:

Do you think he does the Hey heys in the middle? or the aaaaahs? or the oooos at the end?:naughty:

[Suzy]

This isn't a perfect love
One that we're guilty of
What am I supposed to do
Can't seem to leave you alone

I love this part. :wub2:

And I'm so glad I finally know what the heck he's singing. :teehee:

Sorry, Suzy's quote evoked this song line in me
"What am I guilty of
Why do you make me wait " ... and the whole song.:teehee:



Back to Mika, do I get the right impression that US fans tend to like TOUCES YOU more than fans in Europe?
It would be interesting to do a poll on favorite songs by contintent once the album is out..

Truth is that I have complex feelings about this song.. like with WAG.
In terms of music, though, I prefer it to WAG.

Nor have they understood the right season for things to be released in different countries.

I would much prefer to have seen Relax come out in Australia at the time that Happy Ending came out. It was just in time for summer. Relax would have been the perfect summer party song. Beaches, BBQ's, dancing etc etc... But Universal chose to hold it over and then, when we thought we were finally going to get it, it never got released here at all!:sneaky2:

Sorry natives!:naughty:

But….if it was Swedish…what I’m thinking is that even if you can’t hear a word clear there are only a limited number of synonyms that could fit in!:thumb_yello:

And as a native you have access to all kinds of slang, old and new expression and words which are sounding similar, and all the associations and references made by TV-shows, children’s-books and comics and all that jazz!:thumb_yello:

This Mika lyric deciphering problem is truly extraordinary. First off because his spoken accent is very easy to understand so I don't know why he sings without enunciating words in any kind of predictable pattern.

Secondly his lyrics tend to not make the most sense at the best of times so it really is difficult to guess what it is based on context. Especially when the minor change of one word can affect the meaning of the line and in turn even the whole mood of the song. You throw his falsetto in there and that minor one word change happens constantly and the whole thing's a muddle. :aah:

I had to listen to One Foot Boy on repeat on my headphones at least a dozen times before I decided it was "one foot boy 11 stone". And even then you can't be sure. That's what it sounds like, but is that what he means? A 12 inch boy that weighs 154 pounds? Seriously? :lmfao:

I had to listen to One Foot Boy on repeat on my headphones at least a dozen times before I decided it was "one foot boy 11 stone". And even then you can't be sure. That's what it sounds like, but is that what he means? A 12 inch boy that weighs 154 pounds? Seriously? :lmfao:

this post made me laugh so hard! :lmfao: :lmfao:

[sienna]

This Mika lyric deciphering problem is truly extraordinary. First off because his spoken accent is very easy to understand so I don't know why he sings without enunciating words in any kind of predictable pattern.

Secondly his lyrics tend to not make the most sense at the best of times so it really is difficult to guess what it is based on context. Especially when the minor change of one word can affect the meaning of the line and in turn even the whole mood of the song. You throw his falsetto in there and that minor one word change happens constantly and the whole thing's a muddle. :aah:

I just want to underline how grateful we are that you and the other native English speakers are really trying to figure out what in the world he is saying and I have the fullest respect for how hard it is!:thumb_yello:

But isn’t it in perspective the same thing with all songwriters and poets, blurring the language many of them and using symbolic which are hard to get, but because we are so extremely interested to understand and follow Mika’s thoughts in his work we are trying so much more than we would with any other poet?:wink2:

12 inch boy….yeah, that’s a hard nut to crack…symbolic for a heavy burden???????

[dcdeb]

Nor have they understood the right season for things to be released in different countries.

That's so true, IMO, too -- WAG would have been a great summer
anthem. I could just imagine driving around in the car with the windows
down, blasting that song on a gorgeous summer day. It's a shame they held it for release until September.

this could be fun for us and USEFUL for universal, which IMO hasn't understood yet which are the best singles for each country :teehee:

wag? biotg? nnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

touches you had to be chosen!!!!!

I'm smiling, reading that so many love Touches You -- I agree that it's
one of the best songs on the album. But I think Blame It on the Girls
has "single" written all over it as well. It really depends on my mood,
as to which one is my favorite on any given day. I :wub2: them both.
A lot.

And I'm glad to finally have the lyrics, too! I kept hearing "this isn't a
GIRLFRIEND love," instead of PERFECT love, and I was like :blink:

:roftl:

[Dark Angel]

For me I must say this is the best song on the album :wub2::thumb_yello:

Closely followed by rain

Ditto!!!!! Definitely my fave.

[Blue Sky]

The lyric deciphering nearly did my head in.
I listened to WAG about 300 times before I finally cracked the code of "Many years have gone by..." but I was mighty proud of myself when it happened.

Touches you was pretty easy by comparison. "To avoid confrontation
You walk away" was what I heard all along, despite the differences in opinion.:naughty:

[purplegrape]

I DUNNO!! I dunno!!! :aah: I LOVE it! But I had a good listen yesterday and there's parts I love and don't love so much in each song!! I don't think I can pic a fav!

This song might have my favourite chorous tho :biggrin2:

But i love just about everything about it... the lyrics... music ... :pbjt: Looking a lot forward to see it live....

Thought Rain, I See You or BIOTG would be my fave. But i was wrong. Touches you... :mf_lustslow: Have listened to it more than 225 times according to my winamp :blink::teehee:

And Pick Up Off The Floor sounds so sexy! :aah:
And BIOTG is fun and GGG is great! :aah:

I can't choose!!

[Kasia_xxx]

It's one of my favourites too, I love the choir in the background! :mf_lustslow:
And, the song reminds me very much of George Michael, it's cool.

Exactly my sentiments! Reminds me of Faith or Father Figure. Currently my no. 1 of the whole album!!!:thumb_yello:

I See You is cos of relating to it but i will look like mess when/if seeing it live

Im just in love with his music... :pbjt:

Think he sounds like a cowboy in the beginning of BIOTG

Im in love with One Foot Boy too

But this one (Touches You) just has everything...

I find the songs on the albums tend to be like political factions. I keep changing my alliances:teehee:

I know what you mean:wink2:..

It was same with me about LICM as well. I just couldn't choose a favourite and I kept changing my mind about which one I appreciate more on a weekly or even daily basis. In a way, it is still happening, depending on a live version of a song I might hear at a gig.....:blush-anim-cl:

But it is a good thing that most of us would agree there is no 'weak' song on the album. There are songs some of us might not like so much, but basically, almost all could pass as a single.
And that is very very promising if we think about the possible reception of the album by the general public:thumb_yello:

I still do that. :roftl:
Someone will ask me my favourite song on LICM and I'll say "Ring Ri-no, wait-Any Other Wor-but, wait, I love Relax, then again there's My Interpr--- I DUNNO! :lmfao:

[Rain]

What's wrong with me? Touches You is the song I like the least in the album.
Guess I have to listen to it again!
HELP?! :D

[frog.teerez]

where I can listen the whole song, please?

[Kodes100]

I have a quuestion that i can't find the answer to here or that it has been mentioned here:
Towards the end at 2:32 minutes through the song is Mika singing
"It isn't a perfect love
What are we guilty of
What am I suppose to do
Can't seem to leave you alone"
etc etc
Then he sings it again.
has anybody else picked up on this.
I don't see it in the lyrics on page one of this thread.
Thanks.

[Kodes100]

where I can listen the whole song, please?

It is suppose to be for U.S. citizens only - I think - but I am Canadian & I wasn't allowed to hear the whole album yesterday but I can today.
Try it.
It is worth a try.
Good luck!
The album is Wonderful!

I totally agree with the both of you.
I just heardf the new album today so everytime i play a different song that is my favourite until I hear the next song.
But you guys made me realize that i still "sort of" do that with Life In Cartoon Motion."
On both albums - to me - there are no weak songs.
They are all great!
I suppose I am just a bias Mika Fan!

[cubitus]

:aah::aah: finally I have the album in my hands !!!!!! :mf_lustslow::mf_lustslow: Touches You exceeds my expectations !!!

edit : Be Jealous ! :mf_rosetinted::teehee:
edit 2 : Luuuuuuuv the little booklet XD i'm so excited I might hit anyone XD

[Kasia_xxx]

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time


I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you


I couldn't resist putting these two exerpts together! What do you guys think?
I adore both the songs! And even the melody is quite similar, but obviously Touches You has a totally different vibe.

[purplegrape]

:aah: Ok, just changed my mind. I definitely liked it before but I listened to it again a minute ago and fell in love!!!
It's not my fav, cause I don't have one. I've favourited every song I've listened to tonight which I think is all of them.

But I definitely love it more than I did yesterday :boing:




And I agree Kasia, I definitely see the reseblence. I did the first time I heard the clip which is why I think I liked it so much :teehee:

[suzie]

I couldn't resist putting these two exerpts together! What do you guys think?


you should research the whole GM portfolio and add bits from other songs, like this one

"I'm not your father
I'm not your brother
Talk to your sister
I am a lover
C-c-c-c-come on"
:bleh:
or:
"It could be the price of love
Could the price of hate
What am I guilty of
Why do you make me wait"
:naughty:



If you compare these songs on a semantical basis, you do find many other similarities because many GM lyrics focus on such topic :teehee: and he uses similar language.

Musically Touches You also evokes George Michael, but I really wouldn't fingerpoint on any particular song.

It's like Rain has the Neil Tennant type of 'rap' insert in it and everything about that insert reminds you of the PSB. However, it is most definitely not a copy of any of their songs or spoken inserts...

I just call it homage and a nice try:biggrin2:

[Mystica]

I love this song!!
someone can tell me what he says at the beginning and at the end of the song... i've read the lyrics on the first page, but there isn't the first and the final part...:dunno:
thank you :wub2:

[Bienie]

you think you're better
(you're?) better than me
you blow me off
as history
to avoid conversation
you're ignoring me


= is the beginning :wink2:

Oh, yes, I didn't think of I Want Your Sex at first but now I see the resemblance too:thumb_yello:. To me Touches You is genius in a sense that it's very difficult to write a song which in NOT plagiarism but evokes songs by other artists immediately!

It's so insanely catchy, my backside will NOT stay in the seat of my van, and I find my hands leaving the steering wheel, with alarming regularity!:teehee:

the person singing is the boyfriend/girlfriend of the person they're singing about. (the other person is famous possibly) and thy're telling them they want their realationship out in the open cos they can't keep their hands off them. they wanna be their mother etc. cos they're the excuses they give the people when they see them together...
if they were famous then the line 'Never make you run for cover even if they want us to' could be in reference of getting away from the papparazi so that they don't know about their relationship...

i'm gonna tell you even if nobody asked... :naughty: a school day well spent!

Interesting!
Unfortunately I think it is about posession of the other person.
It is almost obsessive.
Brother, Father, Sister, Mother - gee - will he/she be allowed any friends????
I hope I am wrong!
I really like the song but this is so Mika - "not nice" lyrics with an up tempo foot tapping music.
I like your interpretation better.
Mine kind of sucks!

[Nollaig]

I'm not over-analysing this song, as I think it's a pretty vague song with a sentiment at it's heart rather than a solid story.

I just think it's about some relationship considered inappropriate (the run for cover thing) and also about the admiration the singer has for the subject, and their desire to be something that emotionally moves them (like their relationships with the various people listed).

This is currently my favourite I think.....seems to change on an hourly basis. I saw a great quote in a review yesterday (apologies if someone has already mentioned this as I only made it to about page ten of the thread) it was in 'London Life' and said that 'Touches You out George Michaels George Michael' which I thought was hilarious...and very true:naughty:. I would like to see it as a single in one way as it would be great to hear it on the radio etc but I think he would get slammed for being too GM.:blink:

It does have the same bouncy vibe LT does, perhaps that's why I love it so much, and why I dance around like a crazy person when it comes on.

He's already confirmed your interpretation. :naughty:

I can't keep track of these interviews so I don't remember the exact quote (or if it was even video or print :aah:) but he said something along the lines of it being about crazy jealousy. Where you're dating someone and so obsessed with them you that you don't want anything else to come between the two of you and want to be the one that's touching them all the time.
