hi everyone,
I have loved Mika since i first heard the first album, I fell in love with lollipop and played it all the time.
My kids love it too ..... it always cheered everyone up and got them singing in the car...
My wife was a huge fan too..... she loved big girls..... even though she was a 4ft 5 size 6.... lol.
On july 1st, my wife and 3yr old girl had a car crash..... my wife died instantly at the scene but my little girl was taken to great ormand street hospital...... she faught really hard for over a week with family and friends urging her to be brave.
unfortunately it was just too much for her and, on one evening i felt a huge presence of my wife by the bedside.... and as i held my little girls hand i felt she had been given the chance to go and be with her mummy.
In the time at the hospital between my wife and daughter dying... i got my wifes ipod from the car and started to listen to the 1000 songs on shuffle.
3 or 4 songs in ...... i heard happy ending....... it touched me in the most amazing way....... it is a song i dont even remember from the album even though i had listened to it 100s of times....... but it summed up everything i felt and feel since......
I ended up using this song for the funeral and it worked so well in a way that made everyone feel at ease with the loss of their friend/sister/niece/daughter/cousin/grandaughter etc..... I love it every time I hear it !!!! x
Anyway.... I am desperate to find out now what MIKA was thinking when HE wrote the song ...... even down to the hint of hope with the " little bit of love" repatitions towards the end.
i would love to hear from any of you on your thoughts or even how to ask the man himself.. xxxxxxx
all my love to u all
Paulx
