Would it be possible to post a link to a google translation? I can’t manage to copy this with my mobile and I have still a long way to travel. Thanks 🙂

All the new songs sound amazing live ❤️ And I got the poster!

My blog about the SF gig is here if anyone is interested:

I have some extra tickets to the NA gigs, DM me if looking for anything. I had bought a few extra but I'm traveling alone so I won't need those. Thanks! 

I wrote a small blog post about Tiny Love. It's not a deep analysis, I just wrote a few thoughts and talked about some of my favorite parts.

I saw that the video was there in the morning and honestly thought it was done on purpose. I thought it's too weird if a new video is either accidentally or without a permission posted twice. Once maybe but twice? So I was just surprised it was already on Vimeo and naturally watched it. I could have waited two more days, just didn't understand I was doing something wrong before saw it was removed. I will save my party until Friday, it's an incredible song.

From what Nina wrote in her blog, it wasn't a problem. But apparently she forgot to start the recording on her phone - Tiny Love is so amazing that fans even forget to film!

Such an amateur mistake but I couldn't help it. It was a very exciting moment! 😀I tried to listen to so carefully that I didn't pay attention. I was only holding my mobile and it wasn't even recording. I didn't plan to upload the full song any way, youtube blocks new songs immediately and to be honest I rather not upload bad quality mobile recordings but of course now I totally regret not having it! OMG it's painful to wait!!

It's a beautiful, beautiful song ❤️❤️❤️ I have small snippets of it playing in my head all the time and I just walk around the house in my dreams and smile. I almost see little hearts flying around everywhere. It's such a sweet song, it's like a blanket ❤️❤️❤️But not only that, it seems very interesting as well and I feel it's important to hear the whole song. I just can't wait.

I guess it was posted by the production team... That that way they had a permission to post it? But it doesn't look official yet of course and I hope it will be posted by his team soon and we can start spreading that one. I really love the clip, it looks very well done, I can feel the heat in it! 

Yes it is possible to listen back even when the show is still continuing! I didn't realize that at first and feel a bit stupid now. It's a really nice song. Well it's not enough Mika if you ask me (it makes me want more of his voice) but the song is nice and catchy. Mika sounds lovely in it.

Apparently they already played the song shortly before 8, it's in the recent tracks. I only managed to listen now - has anyone heard it, did they say they'd play it again? And will there be an interview or not? Maybe at least a recorded one...

Edit: just saw the show already started at 6:30, so I guess that was it. 🙄 Did any of you hear it? What's it like, compared to the original song?

Yes they played it just before 8, I luckily managed to hear it. I don't know if there will be any interview or if they will play it again but assume it will be possible to listen to it afterwards. At least I really hope so! I genuinely really liked the song, it's a nice song and I think Mika sounds amazingly beautiful in it. His voice sounds even better than I could remember and not sure how that is even possible. But it's not enough of him of course, it made me even more impatient to hear his voice than I already was. So as a teaser it really works because I really want to hear his singing even more than I already did.

If it's not announced on Mika's FB page (or here), it's almost certainly not official.

Yes, and it's confusing if people share news on social media without mentioning the source, a lot of false alarms lately.

That's really nasty that scams now even take pre-bookings to make even more money.  And if they have many requests, they'll know it's worth it to buy a lot of tickets for a certain concert, to resell them for ridiculous prices. This really should be forbidden!

They seem to promote quite aggressively. So confusing to wonder if something is official or not. Also worrying for the future ticket buying, like it wasn't already stressful enough.

I was listening to this song today and thought about what he said about discipline and also that he managed to describe that very well. The amount of love young musicians have for music must be enormous, so they have the discipline to continue day after day to be good enough to be professional musicians. That gives such a literal meaning for "the sound of my love for you". The music they make is literally the sound of their love. Then there's the symbolic meaning which is quite poetic actually. A lovely thought. I really like it when songs grow this way the more I listen to them. 

I'm in love with this song ❤️ I love the lyrics and think it works more than perfectly as a soundtrack for a story that tells about young musicians but also as an independent song. I love the way he's using his voice, really love it, and I'm surprised people describe this song simple, for me it sounds very complicated to sing. There are also many details in it and that's something I don't connect with simplicity (which I wouldn't mind because I find simple and simplicity very positive words). I assume this song tells nothing about the album yet but they definitely should add it to at least some versions of it. It seems like a separate project written for his friend but as everything around the song is in Italian I might have missed something he says. Anyway, so happy he has released new music and been listening to this non-stop almost two days now. 

That was a bit clumsy way to post, sorry, I could have put everything in one post. Any way, I added two old videos from Brixton Academy. Randomly saw them in my archives the other day. They are from far away so never uploaded them that time. This many years later they felt like a nice discovery. That was my very first Mika gig. 

I managed to be in Paris and to see the show and wrote a small report about it here:

https://mikagigs.com/2018/06/03/top-14-grand-finale-2018-stade-de-france/

It was magnificent ❤️ Something exceptional, really. State de France is an enormous place, it's hard to even understand how big it is. I arrived a bit late and reaching my seat in the crowd was difficult because the stairs were so steep they made me feel dizzy and I had to walk sideways. Felt unreal to watch the large green area below and think Mika would perform on it in a couple of hours. As soon as the game was over a giant heart was brought in the middle of the field and it looked absolutely beautiful. I wanted to stand up and raise my hands and scream: LOVE WINS but of course just patiently waited the performance to start. Btw, I think it's quite inevitable Mika was occasionally out of breath during his singing, he had to move a lot and he probably has lost a part of his stage routines during the break. I had the same feeling in Naples 2014 but everything comes back as soon as he starts touring, I'm not worried about that. It was so good to see him on stage again, I listed some of my favourite parts in my report. 

It was easy to see that it was hard for him to find words and explain. I knew what was happening during the situation because I got a summary from Isa who was next to me and I could watch him and see how he seemed to feel but I got a detailed translation only later and been thinking how brave he was in the situation. Somehow so typical for him ❤️

Here are a couple of reviews I've written about The Voice live shows so far:

I've never read The Article before !!! Thanks a million for finding @dcdeb you are amazing !!!

 

Wonder child. These photos are so beautiful. Look at how serious he looks! And just think how he must have been as a child. Awwww. 

Here's the original review of the gig from our main newspaper. There's a translation somewhere in the thread if interested. It's a bit difficult to translate because the language is quite colorful, there really are no exact words to use in English, but the tone in the review is very positive. The writer was in a good mood I think. 

Thanks for the links  Such a beautiful performance, his voice is hypnotizing! This is not my usual music genre but his voice is so lovely, I can't stop listening to this. 

Dog pics are a part of the album making process

Some people say in Facebook that he needs support from his fans, that he is in a period of doubt, and that explains his behaviour during The Voice (even if it's recorded, some fans felt this kind of sadness in his eyes sometimes...)

As a pretty new fan, do you feel the same?

Was it like that for the last album too?

I think he looked sad during the Voice because he had to listen to poor quality singers in the middle of the night while watching Pascal putting his finger in his own nose... Seriously speaking, we can't know how he is at the moment, it's always so difficult to tell when he's having these silent writing/studio periods. I hope from the bottom of my heart that all is good for him and I send him loving thoughts every single day, especially when I'm focused on doing my meditation (of course not sure he can catch them). Anyway, a lot of people support him and want the best for him. I have no doubts that the new album will be fabulous, whenever it's out. I feel very confident about it.

Wow this is a stunning set. I tried to look for it after seeing it in his instagram video but figured out it's not possible to buy it.
