Make You Happy - Song and Lyrics Discussion


Recommended Posts

Live at Suikerrock:

 

Thanks for the great recording. Nice how he understands Dutch grammar, even if he doesn't know the Dutch word for whisper.

 

What I was wondering about: he seems to vary the lyrics a bit (on purpose, not as a mix-up), but I can't make out what he's saying. "All I wanna do is make ... happy." In this video at 2:49, 3:33 and 4:46. It doesn't quite sound like "him", although that would make sense. Can someone hear it?

 

He also did it at Heaven, although he also turned it into 'all you want to do is make me happy' there. Although that might have been true for a big part of the audience at the time, I think that's a bit odd...

It sounds like he sings 'him' but I don't know if it's because I'm expecting him to do so or because he really does that. :dunno:

yes, I can hear 'make him happy' in the third line of the chorus several times.:teehee: I am not surprised. He tends to change songs in live versions. recorded it would be more controversial whilst live it sounds like a statement.

He does. I can hear "him" - but once. OK. :wink2:

 

Mb someone recalls Freddie singing "fried chicken" on record instead of "one vision". Or "downright bore":teehee: At least Mika`s version is explainable

My ears are blown out this morning so I can't hear the bits at the end (my neighbours reported me for loud music. :teehee:) I just hear random phrases here and there like "this way" "gonna make you pay" "full stop" :naughty:

 

But here is the main part:

 

All I wanna do is make you happy x 6

 

All these years of trying

If I said I'm happy I'd be lying

Think it's love we're making

But if this is love then watch me die on you

 

Maybe you can't hear me

But I feel like screaming when you're near me

Save me from your theories

At the very least just let me cry on you

 

Undervalued love is a bolt from the blue

If only you knew that you were/are so far from the truth

 

All I wanna do is make you happy x 6

 

A heart's a lonely hunter

We can fight the cold and fight the hunger

Who can you rely on?

Can we share the shoulder that you cry on?

 

You talk how can I listen

When I hear the people scream telling me the things I should believe in?

Show you what I'm made of

They can't cover up for me cause they know there's nothing I'm afraid of

 

Undervalued love is a bolt from the blue

If only you knew that you were/are so far from the truth

 

All I wanna do is make you happy x 6

The last verses are virtually unintelligible the way it has been mixed.

 

This is what I'm hearing

 

Only wanna love this way

Never gonna make you pay

Only gonna ditch ya

I'll never be your brand new boy

 

Only wanna love this way

Never gonna make you pay

Only wanna do joy

I'll never be a brand new boy

 

Gonna make you satisfied

Never gonna give you site

 

Gonna make you satisfied

Never gonna leave your side

 

Only wanna pick you up

… up

What's it gonna take

 

Only wanna pick you up

Wanna give love full stop

What's it gonna take me

I'll even let you break me

 

The last line sounds like I'm still gonna treat you right.

 

:dunno:

I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but is there any difference between the French Version and the Miami Edit? As far as I can tell (individual and simultaneous listenings) they're the same song. Am I missing something, or is it just the same version with two names based on the regions they're from?

Hi Nick, welcome to the MFC. May I invite you to go to the introductions section so we can all say hi?

As for the two versions: the lyrics are different and so are the instruments used on them. If you read through this thread, you'll find the discussion on that.

On the standard album that was released in France you can only hear the Miami edit, the LA edit (the original version that you can hear in the video as well) only appears on the French deluxe CD

 

The UK album (even the standard one) contains both, since they complement each other. So the Miami edit ends the album like a reprise of the LA edit you hear first.

I think we need to ask MIka for help :naughty:

 

Ok this is what I came up with...

"Only wanna walk this way,

Never gonna make you pay,

Only wanna touch you,

And never be a (value boy? maybe valuable..?)

Gotta make a (?)

Never gonna leave you side..."

That's it.. :sneaky2:
