Dreamy_Queen Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Not losing your mind -- I edited your post instead of quoting it, but Icould swear I fixed it as soon as I realized it. I've fixed it now for sure! Sorry about that! :doh: And I'll say it here: Our little Astro Boy. Better - he found his own Astro Boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hahah, I was surprised when I read it. Christine really wrote that?? I know, I'm so sorry, Christine. That's what I get for playing when I should be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 At first I always thought he sang "With space we'll hide" but now I'm hearing something like: "With space boy hide" or "With space boy high" (like you guys are hearing) i understand "with a space boy high" - and high makes sense because the next line is "from the world we've left behind", i think that's what the "high" belongs to. i'm surprised about the space boy, but well if he wants to fly through the sky with his beloved space boy, why not. (reminds me a bit of some of the weirder beatles lyrics, something like lucy in the sky. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(reminds me a bit of some of the weirder beatles lyrics, something like lucy in the sky. ) Maybe that's why he won't let us know who his boyfriend is? Because he's an alien? That would be cool and slightly weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be cool and slightly weird hopefully that alien looks more like astroboy then, than like E.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milda Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Underwater is the "big song" on Popjustice http://www.popjustice.com/songs/mika-underwater/ Mika – ‘Underwater’ On the whole the new Mika album - released this week internationally and in the UK at the start of next month - is surprisingly easy to enjoy, and 'Underwater' is our favourite song. It's got a piano in it. It's got singing as well at various points. It's got a glistening epic chorus. It's got the word 'amazing' in it. Amazing.

Milda Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I don't know if you noticed, but there's also a comment by popjustice under the article "This makes a nice change from the 'jumping around like a buffoon' sort of Mika song many of us have endured in the past. Hurrah!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, where I come from that's what they call "damning something with faint praise" or a "left-handed compliment." I mean, "surprisingly easy to enjoy"? Sheesh. Couldn't they be a little more descriptive? Oh well, I guess overall it's positive and we'll have to be happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I know Popjustice never was a fan of Mika (quite the opposite, I think), so it must be hard for him to say something positive now At least he tried!

camille* Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I think Underwater will be the next single, we just saw Mika answering questions on the show he was at yesterday; when asked if Catherine Deneuve would star in his next video following Fanny Ardant, he answered 'why not, but she'll have to be underwater' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astor Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Sorry if this has been pointed out, but should the first post lyrics be corrected after the booklet revealed it's lyrical secrets? 'All I see just don't make sense'. I always secretly hoped he wouldn't stoop to rhyme amazes with amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
