Poisonyoulove Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Could this album get any better? It just has! What a beautiful song! The lyrics are just heavenly. Doesn't he sing, "distant hearts?" I'm sure that's what I hear, and it makes sense. Now that you mention it, I hear "distant heart" too. That was the one part I wasn't sure about, I mainly can just hear the vowel sound in that second word. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellenowl Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) I'm listening to this song for the first time- it's great and I can't help but think that it would have been a great album-promoting summer single! I've pre-ordered the album now anyway along with a half-price MIKA t-shirt! :) Exciting times! Edited June 9, 2015 by Ellenowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pre-ordered the album now anyway along with a half-price MIKA t-shirt! :) Exciting times! I agree with you: it's such a great and an easy sing along song. Everytime I hear ''And I don't care if it burns my eyes,,,'' I want to sing , I think that TAY is also good but very hard for Mika to sing if he's a little ill and I don't really like the acoustic version he has sung for the promotion, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyaboutmika Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Thanks a lot for the lyrics poisonyourlove It might grow on me, but that' s my least fav for now, although I liked the tiny snipets in the italian commercial...I do like the lyrics , but I need to hear it live, as the studio music brings me down, I know I'm wierd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Mastin Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I agree with you: it's such a great and an easy sing along song.

I like TAY, but so many other songs are better than that. SATS is a beautiful pop song, especially in the, "And I don't care if it burns my eyes," part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not necessarily a sound particularly associated with Mika, and reminds me a bit of Empire of the Sun's style. Nick Littlemore (of EOTS) co-wrote/produced some of the songs from TOOL but somehow I hear the influence more here! I like the song though, but genuinely think it'd be better placed as a lead single than an album song. It's great, catchy and quite musically relevant in ways that TAY sadly is not.

paty_2692 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Official audio has been uploaded to youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmponDvIoGc My guess for the lyrics . . . Watch the sun set, hold it from afar Close as I get to being where you are While there's light left I sing this song for you Don't know if you care, but every day I do Here I stand, staring at the sun Distant land, staring at the sun You're not there, but we share the same one Miles apart, staring at the sun Distant dock, staring at the sun One thing's true, just like you, there's only one And I don't care if it burns my eyes And I don't care, cause my love is blind From staring at the sun Whoa, from staring at the sun From staring at the sun Whoa, from staring at the sun Send my love down in those rays of light Through your window on your tired eyes Say good morning, say it to the sun Like you're talking, talking to someone Here I stand, staring at the sun Distant land, staring at the sun You're not there, but we share the same one Miles apart, staring at the sun Distant dock, staring at the sun One thing's true, just like you, there's only one And I don't care if it burns my eyes And I don't care, cuz my love is blind From staring at the sun Whoa, from staring at the sun From staring at the sun Whoa, from staring at the sun So, for our latin MFCers, here's my translation to spanish (I wanted to do it because this is one of my favorite lyrics from the new album so far) "Veo la puesta de Sol, la aferro desde la distancia Es lo más cerca que llego a estar, donde tú estás Mientras haya luz aún, canto esta canción para ti No se si a ti te preocupa, pero a mí si, a diario Aquí estoy, mirando al Sol Tierra distante, mirando al Sol Tú no estás ahí, pero compartimos el mismo A millas de distancia, mirando al Sol Muelle distante, mirando al Sol Una cosa es cierta, al igual que tú, sólo hay uno Y no me importa si me quema los ojos Y no me importa, porque mi amor es ciego Por mirar al Sol Whoa, por mirar al Sol Por mirar al Sol Whoa, por mirar al Sol Envío mi amor por esos rayos de luz A través de tu ventana, en tus ojos cansados Di buenos días, díselo al Sol Como si hablaras, como si hablaras con alguien Aquí estoy, mirando al Sol Tierra distante, mirando al Sol Tú no estás ahí, pero compartimos el mismo A millas de distancia, mirando al Sol Muelle distante, mirando al Sol Una cosa es cierta, al igual que tú, sólo hay uno Y no me importa si me quema los ojos Y no me importa, porque mi amor es ciego Por mirar al Sol Whoa, por mirar al Sol Por mirar al Sol Whoa, por mirar al Sol" I LOVED THIS LYRICS, hope you like them to!

Marilyn Mastin Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So, for our latin MFCers, here's my translation to spanish (I wanted to do it because this is one of my favorite lyrics from the new album so far) "Veo la puesta de Sol, la aferro desde la distancia Es lo más cerca que llego a estar, donde tú estás Mientras haya luz aún, canto esta canción para ti No se si a ti te preocupa, pero a mí si, a diario Aquí estoy, mirando al Sol Tierra distante, mirando al Sol Tú no estás ahí, pero compartimos el mismo A millas de distancia, mirando al Sol Muelle distante, mirando al Sol Una cosa es cierta, al igual que tú, sólo hay uno Y no me importa si me quema los ojos Y no me importa, porque mi amor es ciego Por mirar al Sol Whoa, por mirar al Sol Por mirar al Sol Whoa, por mirar al Sol Envío mi amor por esos rayos de luz A través de tu ventana, en tus ojos cansados Di buenos días, díselo al Sol Como si hablaras, como si hablaras con alguien Aquí estoy, mirando al Sol Tierra distante, mirando al Sol Tú no estás ahí, pero compartimos el mismo A millas de distancia, mirando al Sol Muelle distante, mirando al Sol Una cosa es cierta, al igual que tú, sólo hay uno Y no me importa si me quema los ojos Y no me importa, porque mi amor es ciego Por mirar al Sol Whoa, por mirar al Sol Por mirar al Sol Whoa, por mirar al Sol" I LOVED THIS LYRICS, hope you like them to! Enjoy/disfrútenlas! I'm sure it's "distant hearts, or heart", not distant dock. I don't know how you've translated that bit as I don't understand the language, but I thought I'd mention it.

paty_2692 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Ohh I had that doubt too! I was kind of sure he says "hearts" but then I saw the lyrics here with "dock" and i thought maybe i missheard the lyrics... Thanks for the correction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunari Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 At first I didn't like this song as much as some of the others, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it. Somehow, I find it relaxing and invigorating at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Love ♫ Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 This song is in my top 3 for the album. But I wanted to see if anybody got an Empire of the Sun (Nick Littlemore) vibe from the song? For some reason it keeps reminding me of "We are the people" by Nick's band Empire of the Sun. Here's a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YN2lsrWN34 When listening to both songs I get the same dreamy vibe, especially at the chorus... maybe the guitar and rhythm may have something to do with this. Overall, it's an amazingly crafted song. Thoughts on the comparison? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Thoughts on the comparison? My first thoughts as well. The song itself is pleasant to listen to but not particularly special to me compared with the rest of the new songs I have just come across accidentally.

Sweetieval Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Hi MFCers One of my favorites one on the new album This song is in my top 3 for the album. But I wanted to see if anybody got an Empire of the Sun (Nick Littlemore) vibe from the song? For some reason it keeps reminding me of "We are the people" by Nick's band Empire of the Sun. Here's a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YN2lsrWN34 +1 When listening to both songs I get the same dreamy vibe, especially at the chorus... maybe the guitar and rhythm may have something to do with this. Overall, it's an amazingly crafted song. Thoughts on the comparison? Indee, same vibe but not only, I can hear some vibes from "Pet Shop Boys" in that song , don't know if you know them because they were singing in the 80's (old english band ) Could this album get any better? It just has! What a beautiful song! The lyrics are just heavenly. Doesn't he sing, "distant hearts?" I'm sure that's what I hear, and it makes sense. Well said and totally agree with you this is such a beautiful song, i instantly connected with it, i fear however that i may break the youtube replay button hehe Not instant connection with this song to me but nearly : from the chorus -after 30 seconds and I do love that chorus and that rythm, it is so fresh Also, I can't stop singing "and I don't caaaaaaaaaare if it burns my eyes" "I don't caaaaaaaaaaaare cause my love is blind" And I feel like dancing when I hear this one, I long to hear it at gigs His voice is going so high -again- and that is what Iove the most with MIKA Edited June 21, 2015 by Sweetieval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menthe Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Well, I must say that this time I am very happy to live in France and be able to download the song. I like a lot this french-english version. There is also a different sound in those french parts, a kind of clearer sound. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
