grace kelly
fist mika song i heard, and i immediately loved it! it's still my fave song on the album, the cheerful melody makes me happy, and the line "why don't you like me without making me try?" is exactly how i felt as a teenager, because ppl at my school just didn't like me without giving me any chance. one of my friends said it's that kind of song you can hear only a certain amount of times and then you're fed up with it... but that's certainly not true for me! i once put it in a loop on my player and listened to it for 2 hours or so! and i loved it even more after that, lol
lollipop
erm... better not say in public what i associate with "lollipop", since i know what the song is about... and the song itself, it's nice, but what i especially came to like is the last verse, where mika speaks (instead of sings) the words, don't know why, i just like the way he speaks there.
my interpretation
just a really beautiful song... i love the piano sound and the melody... and it reminds me of the concert in munich, while he performed that song he looked at me a few times lol
love today
at first i didn't like that song, but it's great live, makes you wanna dance and jump
billy brown & big girls
love the melody of those 2 songs, and i think it's great that mika writes about these things instead of the typical lovesongs you hear every day.
stuck in the middle
that's one of the few songs where i like the melody of the verses more than that of the chorus. but i love the whole song, with that staccato piano sound, that's just brilliant! and especially the part in the end with the piano and "ba-da-du-ba-da", sounds a bit like jazz music and just great!
happy ending
interesting idea to take the words "happy ending" to describe a not-happy ending... although i certainly prefer happy endings (in movies, books and real life), i like the song.
ring ring
great to dance to
over my shoulder
usually i love ballads, but i don't really like this one, i prefer the happy songs, this one sounds so sad also, i don't like his high voice in this one, although i absolutely love it in all his other songs.
