    Mika : collaboration with Studio Job

    in Mika's Music and Artwork

    Posted

    Heaven Tour Intro.

     

    Apart from "Li Beirut" by Fairouz, "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", "Purple Rain" and "Le Soleil Noir" by Barbara, which is the other song by a man?

    I know that voice sounds kind of familiar to me but I haven't been able to figure it out yet.

    Maybe this was discussed in another thread I missed?

    Anyone, please? :)

     

    In case anyone else wanted to know - "Le Tango Bleu" by Tino Rossi.

    Thanks PurpleCat and Mika France! :thumb_yello:

    Thanks a lot LeiRe for translating and sharing  :hug: Maybe you also will do this last one, from Ego City magazine? :wink2: Thanks for finding and posting Eriko...  :)

     

    Love,love

    me

     

     

    Muchas gracias, Laura!  :huglove:

     

     

    Thanks for the latest translation.

     

    You're all very welcome! :)

     

     

    Here's the translation. Sorry if there're some mistakes  :blush-anim-cl:

     

     

    Mika, gay and Catholic
     
    So said the artist with his latest album, which highlights that being homosexual does not conflict at all with being Catholic "neo-Catholic" in his words,where he mentions he practises the  religion in his own way.
     
    "No Place In Heaven" It's a diary where Mika finally decided to open to the public without the overdose of color that has always characterized him; with more calmed songs now where you can feel his heart beating, he really speaks about how it was to accept being gay and the process that had to lead with his Lebanese family, which no one speaks with him, but he says is not being affected by it.
    You feel a new vibe of freedom in his lyrics, a joyful and proud tone that allows to honor his gay icons that have inspired him but who are no longer with us, as he does it in "Good Guys", if you listen and watch his first video that has launched this new album which finally he comes out of the closet completely.
     
    Quoting  Oscar Wilde, and thanking Rufus Wainwright, David Bowie, Walt Whitman, Arthur Rimbaud, Andy Warhol, James Dean, Wilfred Owen, among other great and famous LGBT men who have marked the history, Mika stops hiding to the world  and gives us a new freedom anthems, where there is only one question: "Where have all  the good gays gone?"

     

     

    Y gracias, Alba! :thumb_yello:

    Couldn't go through this thread before, although of course I had already read all of these articles.

    Thank you to everyone who posted and translated them! :huglove:

    As Alba said, most of what's said on them is not news, but there are actually some funny/curious details/comments which are worth it and quite accurately translated into English by Saint Google Translator. Really, I spent some time tonight trying to translate them only to realise my translation and Google's were almost the same...  :aah: 

    So, here are some bits from Telva, which was only on PDF that I know of - sorry beforehand for mistakes:

     

    Your album is called "No Place In Heaven". How do you know that there is no place in heaven?

    Because heaven is here, it has bits scattered all over the earth. Heaven is in all the small things: in being a kid and spending holidays in family, in a sunset at the beach with a million mosquitos biting us, in finishing work and relaxing in a café, in travelling to Madrid or Milan.

    If you had a return pass to that heaven, who would you go visit?

    I wouldn't accept that pass, I would change it for a pass to hell. Sure that's where all my idols are! And if I had to choose one, it would be Jean Cocteau. I would love to talk with him! Or rather, listen to him.

    What would you change if you were a politician?

    Many things… First of all, I would make all human beings in the world equal. I would fight for equality, starting with gender. Why do our sisters or mothers receive less salary for the same job than we do?

    *Nina Simone, Austin Healey*

    What classic song you would have loved to have written yourself?

    That's a trap question, like mum or dad! I would have loved to write all of them by The Beatles, whose songs I listen to every day as far back as I can remember. Or to stick to it, Purple Rain by Prince.

    What do your friends say about you now that you're famous?

    They still think I am contradictory and a bit of a disaster…
