I looked for some pics of Adelphi Theatre, I hope I didn't get the wrong ones: 

I have zero experience in tickets buying, but that was super weird

I haven't still heard of almost anyone getting decent rows. 

I'm in row N too

I and another million people are in row N. 

I wonder how huge that row is.

hi!!   Someone has tickets for London 18 october? 

I think you'd better wait till Friday afternoon. The situation is pretty unclear right now and everybody is still trying to figure out what to do....

This song is in my most fave list and and not only me ....

Off topic. This shows one more time that Promiseland kicks ass. So not a bonus track. 

Apparently this song appeals to almost nobody, as this thread got only 8 replies. 

Whatever, I like it. 

It makes me feel bitchy while singing it.

I'm watching the last one in one hour and I already know spoilers

Poisonyoulove, can I send your pic to the game of thrones fb group?

I forgot to add that it reminds me of Over My Shoulder, I think you all agree on this, and I just found out that's true, he told it himself (but I like Over my Shoulder more). I like these lyrics but I'm not into quiet songs lately....

I've uploaded my pictures here: http://s745.photobucket.com/user/Statue_of_Liberty/library/Mika%20in%20La%20Fabrique%20Milan%2010th%20June%202015

I like some of them very much.

But this one is hilarious. 

Must have been that Ile Flottante.... it serves him well, next time he'll read the recipe. 

Ahahahhaha, yeah, that!!!

Thank you so much 

 If so I doubt he will sing it live anyway.

I fear that as well, actually

But he said he likes it. I do like it. He has to sing it live once, meaning when I'm there to listen to him. 

It's the third time I'm listening to it and I'm still crying. 

At first I've listened to it thinking about gays' issues and I got very emotional but I didn't cry cause it's not something I experienced, even if I do understand how deep that pain can be. 

Now it occured to me that it that most of these lyrics can apply to children looking for adoption. I attended a course on that topic, and some lines are totally fitting to their pain. There, I cried. 

 I think he can sing it live.

When I was at the listening session, the management said that there's no effects on his voice... 

I HAVE to be at that gig when he will sing this song. (Will he?)

This song's probably ending up on my "never listen again" list. 

I'll give it another listening or two tho, just to be sure. 

Probably. They may have just shifted the pitch electronically like they did to make him sound like a woman in Grace Kelly. Lily Allen does a male voice in the same way in one of her songs. At 40 seconds.

 

I see. How would he repeat that in a gig? Would they use some eletronical trick as well?

I really love this song. 

It reminds me a little of Backstreet Boys at a certain point, by the way. 

Don't occupy my throne
Give me the crown I own

This belongs here. 

(I'd have done a meme but there's something wrong with my photo editor)

I think it means a different son in the context of the song. 

Ok, thanks

I wasn't sure he meant right a different son or one more son to get the flaws of the previous one covered, if you know what I mean. 

Both interpretations could apply, I thought I was missing some shade because of the language...

Love the lyrics though. Is this Mika's input to the "career choices discussion"?

I can't wait to see the track by track thing and the conference press to see what he says about this song. 

Is that really his voice when he goes super low?

Question for native speakers: 

All that she wants
Is another son

Another son as in "a different son" or as in "one more son"?

I don't think it's peculiar to the English language 

I have the feeling that this is not so frequent in Italian, for instance. I think words are somehow more defined, as we pronounce every single letter. Of course, misunderstandings can happen, but not that often. I only recall myself having argued about a line of an italian song once (and I was right )

I always hear "on a silver bladder" instead of platter...... 

This is pretty much my thought as well and I'm happy he talked about this in the main song of the album.

I think this is why the lyrics are about how he used to feel and don't mention that he has come around this huge issue: those feelings were much more intense and hard that deserve something on their own. 

Geez, I'm so struggling today to throw a few words together. I can't speak my mind clearly. I'm feeling like I'm 8. Duh.

That's a CD automatic skip! 

Maybe the lyrics refer to how he used to feel back in the day. 

 

it just occured to me what he said in Fabrique: 

"Now that we set it straight that there's no place in heaven for me, and not even for my friends (meaning the audience): you're here, this is not the purgatory. This is MY HOME. "

If NOW God and him settled on that, it implies that this agreement is recent and things were different back in the day. 

One thing is strange to me:

If you listen to the track-by-track video he did for Italy (thanks Sub Team), he explains that the song No Place in Heaven is about him not being worried about "going to heaven", because here on earth is great for him.

This is absolutely not the feeling I get from the song (especially from the lyrics), it seems to me that he is begging to enter to heaven and hoping that God (and Church, and others, ...) change His mind about homosexuality. 

The feeling I got from the song is that he is suffering from the situation (which is also what he let understand in this conversation with Dario Fo last year), not that he doesn't care. 

 

My guess is that he was maybe talking more about the album as a whole in the video, and not specifically about the song. What do you think?

I still need to see that video, plus the press conference one, so I'm just guessing here: maybe the lyrics refer to how he used to feel back in the day. 

I'm at my third listening and I'm really liking this one

"For every love I had to hide" is especially sad.

I agree. I was able to get most of the lyrics (which shocked me cause I usually can't) and that very line touched me, along with "I was a freak since seven years old and cast away I felt the cold coming over me". 

No it's ocean.

It's kind of interesting to me seeing how English can be tricky even to native speakers.
