question

I made my best friend listen to We Are Golden and the first thing she said was "I don't like it, it sounds like High School Musical".

I was like "IT DOESN'T?!?!".

 

I think a lot of us have suffered a placebo through the release of this song. We have anticipated it for ages, it already had it's own thread, and all of those who had already heard it said it was brilliant. All of these things kind of led us to liking it or believing that we liked it because we already thought it was amazing. This is why it's easier for those who heard the single, without going fan-crazy about it months before, to admit that they don't love it.

I think we can all agree that it's definitely not the Mika material that we are used to, but we love Mika and support everything he does so we are determined to adapt. Others were just absolutely fascinated at the first listen, so the variety in the opinions are immense.

This is a really good thought, I agree with it. Are we automatically going to like this whole album just beause we think its brilliant already. I hope not.

This song has struck a particular note with me. I've been a teenager for almost a year now, but I never really felt like one and I hate to say that after hearing We Are Golden I suddenly know what adolescence is, because I don't, but I have a better sense of it now.

Also, I'm going for my first year of high school this fall and it seems like the perfect anthem for that. Teenage dreams in a teenage circus...

I'm angry. 12:15 is 7:15 here so I was going to get up early enough to hear it live online. When I got up, I looked at the clock and it was 7:20! 5 minutes off!

I'm angry

Who am I angry at?

My internal clock.

Mermaid- Regina Spektor. Just plain genius

I am a mermaid

But I've sold my voice

For a pair of feet

That tend to bleed

When I go walking in the road

I am a mermaid

But I've sold my voice

For a couple of feet

And they always bleed

When I go walking in these streets

And I once saw a most beautiful man at the local record store

He bumped into me and said, well excuse me, young ma'am, but haven't I seen your pretty eyes somewhere before?

I smiled, but gestured at my throat

To show that I was mute

Well, he quickly looked down at the floor

And shuffled in his boots

Aw, he was out of there so fast

I am a mermaid

But I've sold my voice

For a midnight train

And a bump of cocaine

And an old photo of Ballets Russes

I am a mermaid

But I have sold my voice

For a bottle of gin

'Cause I can't swim

And I sure don't want to float

Oh, I was so lonely walking out of that store

And back into the busy people street

When I overhead, I heard an argument

A woman opened up her window, threw a flower pot from it

I was startled by the crash

But went over to find the little plant

I quickly emptied it out my paper coffee cup and

Adopted it

Transplanted it

Took it home and

Named it Mozart

I am a mermaid

But I've sold my voice

And I got rid of my tail

At a junkyard sale

Along with some favorite childhood toys

I am a mermaid

But I have sold my voice

For a couple of feet

That tend to bleed

When I go walking in the street

I am a mermaid

But I have sold my voice

For a couple of feet

That tend to bleed

When I go walking in the street

I am a mermaid

But I have sold my voice

For a couple of feet

And they always bleed

No matter how I clean

For a couple of feet

And they always bleed

No matter how I clean

For a couple of feet

That tend to bleed

When I go wa-wa-walking

In the

Street

Does anyone else like him?

"As of November 17, 2008, the official spelling of Ingle's alias became NeverShoutNever! It had previously been listed as Never Shout Never on iTunes and his management company's site. An official statement regarding the reason behind the spelling change has not been made available. In an interview, Ingle revealed that there is no longer an exclamation point after his name and that he will spell NeverShoutNever as one word when he is feeling happy, but three words when he isn't." -from Wikipedia

hahaha! We love you Christofer Ingle!

I picture a night sky, no stars, no moon, just deep blue/black. Then a flash of gold. A shooting star perhaps, or something more like the Aurora Borealis.

 

Oh my dear, you worry far too much

 

I really can't imagine this new album being a disappointment, it sounds amazing so far! What do you think of the new songs?

Thank you so much! I usually don't worry about stuff like that but for some reason it just all spilled out at once.

I wasn't worried about the EP, and I'm not worried about the We Are Golden single, so maybe I souldn't think of it as an album, but as 12 or 13 little singles:wink2:

When Mika first announced he was making a new album such a long time ago, I got this little tiny thought in my head that I might be disapointed. With every piece of news I got that tiny thought got a tiny bit bigger. And last night when I was lying in bed unable to fall asleep, that now quite large thought of mine exploded. I literally had a freak out. I was shouting in my head " Aaaah! What if I have to leve the MFC!!?" "How could I handle it every time I go to listen to LICM I would open it up and have to stare at the person who delivered this massive disapointment!!!!!??" Well, now that its daytime and I've regained clear thought, I know that leaving the MFC would probably never happen, and I won't despise Mika even if We Are Golden is disapointing.

I daydreamed once that Mika came to my school and re-did the Big Girl video in the hallways! It was really cool, but then the principal got kinda mad:naughty:. Then when that was settled, the two of us snuck off to the music room and played piano and sang.:wub2:It was so amazing! I would probably pick to do that!

After I read this the second time through, something compelled me to go back and watch the Grace Kelly video. I had so many thoughts:

I love Mika

Why am I a Mika fan?

I must be insane for it

Can We Are Golden possibly be any better than this?

This is the Mika I fell in love with, will I still love him if he changes too much?

So in short:

I am scared for We Are Golden.

kudos to whoever wrote this article. His "voice floating effortlessly over pillows of synths" that kind of stuff really makes you want to listen to it!

Sammy- You must hear that you have an amazing talent! You will get to your dreams, you're too wonderful not to. Regina's Ne Me Quitte Pas is a hard song song too, great job!

<3 Heather

btw, I noticed that I have the same shirt from Delia's that you wore in your I'm Yours youtube video!

my record store has barely any Mika, let alone a pre-order for the new album. Once again proving that America doesn't really care about Mika.

I'm looking for an audio of Mika's cover of Just Can't Get Enough. Thank you!

You know you're a Mika fan when a song for sorrow makes you smile.

I love this thread!

Lets share my hometown: Pittsburgh! (burgh with an h!)

Ahh! The city of bridges!

The Point

Our famous incline. There are only two that work in the world and both are in our city!

okay, it just hit me that if you've never been here you probably don't know what an incline is.

they're these cool cars that incline up the side of a mountain or hill. (in this case Mt. Washington [great views of the city from up there, btw])

I'm looking for the 'making of the love today video' video. the one where he says the 'pointlessly delicious quote'

sorry I posted three times, my computer acting up

I had my 2nd Mika Taco dream! lol

I'm not sure if I posted the first one in this particular thread, but if I did, I'll do it again.

 

Okay, in the early stages of my Mika love I had my first Mika dream. In it, I stole my English teacher's copy of Dante's Inferno and she called the cops on me. I was taken to jail and put in a tiny cell with a tall man with curly hair. He turned around, and it was Mika! He said "What are you in for?", and I said "stealing." Him: "Me too." Me: What did you steal?" Him: "A taco."

 

Last night, I had another dream about Mika. In this one, I was at my granny's house, and we were baking gingerbread cookies. She told me that she was babysitting and that she needed lots of cookies, so I could only eat a couple (except I had already eaten most of them.) Then the doorbell rang (My granny doesn't even have a doorbell. ) and I answered. It was Mika, Greg, and Ella! My granny was supposed to babysit...MIKA AND ELLA! Greg dropped them off and said "Take good care of my kids, Zelda!" (My granny's name isn't even Zelda!) Suddenly, Mika began stuffing cookies into his mouth, and dancing. Then he said "I WANT A TACO!" So my granny made me take him out for tacos, and he ate about 50.

 

 

I think I need a dream interpreter.

thats beyond hilarious!

and honestly, I could picture that second dream

I had my 2nd Mika Taco dream! lol
