I wish I could make you return

And what if I'll never discern

As you walk to the toll of the bell

You'll be fighting for a heaven with hell

 

And you don't understand

why no one else can see

 

Put your * on me

and my * on you

To make you believe

The only thing I wouldn't do

 

And you know heroes are meant to survive

The asterisks mark words I can't decipher.

 

It sounds like it could be 'blood' or 'bet' or something, but I don't know.

I thought it's 'blood' too but maybe I'm wrong

I would not have wached it, but since I went to the album preview I already heard most of them...

I love both versions of Overrated (at least so far with the new one), now we have a slow and beautiful version + one hell of a dance track

Same here, I love them both!

Overall Underwater is just lush, Heroes nearly made me cry- in a good way (I don't know why:aah:), Stardust is my fave on the album, and I adore the new version of MYH! Basically there is not one song I hate.

But Kids is still growing on me...

Where can we buy the Japanese version? Is it the more expensive one on Canada amazon? MIKA stickers sound cool...

It's much cheaper from HMV than amazon: (thanks to Mair and Nectar for showing me )

OMG seriously?! Could I be one of those people please? Thank you.

T4P I love this interview, especially the pictures and the Toy Boy story. I would like to have this so if someone does not mind picking me up a copy please, I would of course pay for everything.

They just played the instrumental to Celebrate in The Xtra Factor! I was so excited!!!

Happy Birthday Mika!!!! 1 more year till you are 30! MWHAHAHAHA

MIKA official ‏@mikasounds

Thank you for all the gifts, cards and messages! Love them. Here's one of them, remarkably comfortable Japan

 

Congrats Eriko I sent mine today, I left it all to last minute again! I thought he would collect his gifts later on... oh well!

HAPPY 29TH BIRTHDAY MIKA! sorry it's 27mins late, I've been busy doing this on Twitter! Have a great day dude!

Listening to it on my TV! Im trying to be patient but it's hard... I don't really like Radio 2.

‏@BBCRadio2

Here's a treat - this Friday @mikasounds will be stopping by at @bbcradio2 to give @R2KenBruce his new single Celebrate - tune in from 11am

 

 

YAY! First play on UK radio !

Ooooooo yay! T4P Is anyone going to go to the radio station to see/support him then?

 

Well,it's only one night,you can do it! And maybe they want to avoid releasing it on Sunday

Haha yes but I'm at school that day, so the day will go SLOW! And if he does a radio interview in the morning, I won't be able to go.

And now is October 8th :

 

"Mika’s 3rd record, “The Origin of Love,” will be released in October and features collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Empire of the Sun and Benny Benassi. As well as a host of brilliant tracks for his own record, during this time Mika also worked on “Gang Bang,” for Madonna’s new, “MDNA,” record, a track she has widely praised as her favourite on the album! Mika’s first single, “Celebrate,” (which follows on from last month’s teaser track “Make You Happy”) is due out 1st October, with the album to follow a week later on 8th October."

1st of October? I got an email saying Celebrate was being released on 30th September! NOOOO

He probably didn't tell his mum. I sure didn't

 

I actually only went to a club once when I was 15 because I looked about 12 years old so I wasn't fooling anyone. It was a dodgy place and we just sort of snuck in while the bouncer was distracted.

 

I still looked way too young when I was 17 years old but I was working for a record company so my colleagues would bring me in with them and I didn't get questioned.

 

But it's much stricter now and I think people would have a hard time sneaking into a bar now if they weren't of age, so I would not recommend it.

Haha I bet if she new she would drag him straight back home! And yeah I look young too- so nobody would believe I was 18, let alone 15. But don't worry I won't sneak into clubs anytime soon!

Thanks! It's actually a mini one in a cool sciency museum place. I only edited it slightly to add the watermarks and at a bit of contrast, so I'm pretty amazed too as to how this one came out

WOW but it looks like a HUGE one! You're so talented, what camera do you have again?

I started going to clubs at 15 so it didn't surprise me that way. I always thought Mika was doing this type of thing, he just didn't talk about it. So I wasn't surprised at the things he's done, just that he was suddenly willing to talk about it and act like it.

 

 

 

Oh I kind of thought he might of, but I thought he would not talk about it. And if I ever go to a club, at my age, my mum would kill me! But maybe he's willing to share more now.

I'm so excited! I'm going to see her in 2 months in London! Sadly all of downastairs standing sold out, but I got upstairs seating so I don't have to get there early! AHHHHHHHH SO HAPPY! She is amazing!

I don't really care anymore, it's going to come out when it is. I just think that some fans might not be able to wait much longer, and may pre-order it on the french amazon. Then that would result in TOOL maybe having better record sales in France than other countires.

Sorry those were two different events. He was in his boxers in the WAG video and I think he tweeted that he would do a naked vlog if his song got to number 3. It didn't happen so there was no vlog.

 

It doesn't seem like a big deal now but Mika had come across as pretty conservative up to that point. I remember in the early days of MFC people used to wonder if he was a virgin and if he drank, etc. When he started dancing around in his underwear and talking about sneaking into gay clubs at 15 to get older people to buy him drinks it was all a bit shocking. Not that it wasn't exactly how I imagined he was in real life. But he had just cultivated this image of himself that was pretty innocent and I didn't expect him to suddenly become so unreserved.

Oh I already knew about those two things! Sorry I got confused. But yeah I was a bit shocked too when he said he went to nightclubs at 15, I'm 15 and I would never do that! But thanks anyway.

Guessing there are age restrictions...?

Yeah I think so! It says it starts late and ends early xD

Thanks Cath/Camille.

 

I want to hear Lola.

 

I'm still amazed that he's making open comments about homosexuality. Still less surprising than when he turned up in 2009 in his boxer shorts threatening to do a naked vlog though.

Is there a video of this or something? I can't believe I missed this!

But still a great interview, I love that he talked about the French songs. and thanks for the translation!

WOW! How did you manage to take a picture of a whirlpool? It's so cool!

No prob Yeah, around 6 seconds every now and then, it really irritated me, but the beginning is fine for some reason

You might need Quicktime player or VLC player to view it btw;

Thanks so much Lara, I could finally here my question! YAY!
