"The Origin of Love" - the pieces of a puzzle

[Ellenowl]

Sfmg, I think there are so few covers because people don't think they can better the original. Or maybe just cos the song is very underrated

And tbf, those covers certainly add nothing to the original, like with most things;(

I love Mika's demos, I really think they're amazing. I was very happy to know that Overrated will be on the 3rd album, and there's another one that I love as much as Overrated (won't mention it here as we're not supposed to be allowed to talk about demos on the MFC ).
I hope Overrated will be very similar as it's on the demo, with the sad lyrics, Mika's amazing voice in falsetto and not much more than the piano. But, as someone said before, if they turn it into a huge ballad, I'd love it anyway. What I definetely don't want is that he makes it electronic because it worked out very well with Rain, but it would ruin Overrated, IMO.

I agree. Less is more.

Have you seen that vid? Do you think the title (or the legend of the creation of the world) might have inspired Mika for the title of his new album?

There is no news here but even less up-to date info than already posted on MFC.
Everyone is guessing at this stage and most people are guessing what others have posted on this thread earlier.
