So, what are your lists of favourites from the new songs we heard so far?

 

Mine's:

1. Tiny Love

2. Dear Jealousy

3. Blue

4. Sanremo

5. Ice Cream

6. Tomorrow

 

Especially the first 2 and the last 3 are pretty close together - but it might change once we have the recorded versions of Blue and Tomorrow.

1. Tomorrow

2. Tiny Love

3. Ice Cream

4. Dear Jealousy

5. Sanremo

6. Blue

My try at the lyrics - there's some bits I don't understand at all, and some where it doesn't make sense what I understand - but maybe it's something from where we can start.

 

 

You and I will really

bringin of some innocent (?)

 

Oh, we'll give a s**t about tomorrow

 

And then we're lying of a thousand stars

 

Lying here together

(...)

(...)

But this is is a man's worth fighting for

 

 

Here's what I'm hearing that differs from yours...

You and I, we're really, really not so innocent

Oh, who gives a s**t about tomorrow

I'm living higher than a thousand stars

Lying here together
stretching and ?
i played your game to have this
but this is a mess worth fighting for

That second verse is pretty hard to make out though, that could be wrong!

This is my favorite of the new songs!

Could anyone  explain me please ?

 

"And I know that I could eat the stage on Broadway... I think it's about the right show. "

from

His Name is Michael Holbrook, but You Know Him as MIKA

 

thank you.

 

I think he means "chew the scenery" which we use to mean overact really dramatically. 

I've seen several comments on youtube, people saying they didn't realize they'd been pronouncing his name wrong... they seem to think he's saying "my name is Mika Holbrook" pronounced MY-ka.

When I first saw the video I was thinking about a mother and son kind of love, where the mum gives part of her life for the son and the son also tries so hard to please her and be what she wanted him to be.

But now I read the idea of the 9th Penniman’s generation theory and it’s very interesting!

 

Anyway, in my mind, the video doesn’t match the song yet, LOL! 

Yeah, when I started seeing the mother/child theory, I was skeptical because the lyrics to me are very much about a romantic relationship (nobody's mom gets them high ) but the details keep adding up. Anyway, Mika said that the director had a specific vision of a story line, which means it doesn't necessarily have to match the lyrics. But the eggs, milk, photo of Joanie, 9 months... plus things like the big shoes (what kid hasn't tried on their mom's shoes?) I'm starting to buy it.  I just... no mom sits on their kid's lap like that!

There is pisces sign or 69

It's the sign of cancer.  I'm a pisces, which is how I knew.   That shirt reminds me of a tradition in school, on the last day of school you wear a shirt especially with the intention of having all your friends sign it, write messages on it.

I can't say I would have ever guessed "our loves attack the sun" but I can hear that when I listen for it. Definitely not a common English phrase! 

Things I've noticed in the video... The woman is wearing a wedding band on her left hand, while Mika is wearing one on his right hand. It was common for gay couples to wear rings on their right hands, at least before gay marriage became legal here, I'm not sure if it's still much of a thing. 

There is a "9" and a photo of his mom on the wall.

The woman is looking at him as if she's sketching him, but it's an egg. (No bald jokes please!) Eggs would usually represent fertility? Not sure what to make of that.

At around 1:18 he makes a motion with his hands very similar to when the woman later puts her hands around him.

There are a couple changes from the original version! At around 0:20 when he's lip syncing to the mirror, in the forbidden version he is just gazing to the side looking melancholy. And right after the skull wearing the hat, in the original, we got some close ups of some of the men in the wall photo... in the official version instead we get a couple extra seconds of Mika looking over the woman's shoulder.

Yes. That's why I quoted the lyrics by @Poisonyoulove, they seem correct, as opposed to the others.

Thanks, and it's boggling my mind a bit that everyone is going with "don't know what the messin"... like, with his accent that may be how it sounds, but that phrase makes no sense in English! 

My pass at the lyrics

It's not a sunrise over canyons shaped like hearts
It isn't bursting into song in Central Park
It's not the outline of your face drawn in the stars
It's a still-there-Monday-morning kinda love
There's no dramatic declarations in the rain
It's not a love that finds its pleasure after pain
I couldn't train a bunch of doves to spell your name
It's a don't-know-what-they're-missing kind of love
 
Our kind of love, it gets better every day
Crazy colors in the grey, our love is a tiny love, it's a tiny love
My life was dull, I used to walk in a different way
But now I'm dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
Don't care who can see me dancing
Oooooh, tiny love
Oooooh, tiny love
Oooooh, tiny love  
Aaaaah, Aaaaah, Aaaaah 

This tiny love has spoken, and bigger hearts get broken
Oooooh tiny love
So small that you can't find us, the world revolves around us
Ooooooh tiny love
This kind of love, there can be no other way
One kind of love blows the other ones away
Sometimes it's tough, others think we're acting strange
But it's our kind of love, our kind of love
Oooooh, tiny love
Oooooh, tiny love

My name is Michael Holbrook, I was born in 1983
No I'm not losing my mind it's just this thing that you do to me
You get me higher on a tiny love
You get me high
And if it all goes bad, and our love sets like the sun
I'd give up a hundred thousand loves for just this one
You get me high on our tiny love
You get me high on our tiny love
 
It's not a sunrise over canyons shaped like hearts
It isn't bursting into song in Central Park
We may be tiny to the world but in our hearts
We be giants with our tiny tiny love

To those who was lucky enough to watch the video before it was taken down, How long it is? (Video / track)? 

 

4:07

I assumed the director uploaded it and forgot to list it as private until Friday. I have no regrets downlo-- er, I mean, watching it early.   When it's officially released I will watch it officially hundreds of times, because I thought it was beautiful. It doesn't feel sad to me, just serious in parts. 

I hear Queen influences too, in the middle, but also something else when the tempo first kicks in... I want to say Beatles, but I'm not sure what specifically.

Ok, maybe he does have a cat... 

She's beautiful!  

Edit: Nevermind   Mat's cat is beautiful!

Who puts their feet ON THE DINNER TABLE?     

I thought I'd post a couple recent pics of Willow 

And, if you remember. or have read back a couple pages, I had an orange tabby named Rufus. He was a cuddle monster who was the absolute light in my life, but unfortunately he had a heart murmer and passed last October. This is the last photo I took of him...

I still haven't recovered from the loss, tbh

So, I had a feeling about that cat photo. It just looked kind of professional to me? So I did a reverse image search, and it's a stock photo!   https://www.123rf.com/photo_44052973_persian-cat-in-front-of-white-background.html

So a cat showed up in his garden, and now it lives in his house?

Giuliano is a cat, he's certainly not going to move.

That's the difference with a dog coming to see you every time you call him for fun. 

A cat won't even look at you and continue his nap thinking, "It's okay to keep calling if you want to!"

 

Cats will come when you call them, but only if it's what the cat wants to do.
