    I listened while doing something else , so I can't say that I'm 100% sure , but I don't think that he said he was inflenced by his idols for this album At the beginning he said that he feels good because the wheel is starting to turn . In French it's often used to say that good things or luck arrives after bad ones. But it also could mean that the process of this new area is starting

    I have to listen a second time, but I think all these people are his idols. He said you needs idols even at 40 or 50..... Or more 😉 He also talked about "bougez" He found the lyrics during a boring concert at "les folies bergères" ( didn't droped the artist's name .... ) based on a conversation he had with Valérie Lemercier

    It was just an idea because you asked about "placard" meanings .........so I'd realy not put a lot of money on this bet . Some familiar expression for coffin would be "la boite" or "la caisse" ( boxes) , but for sure I've never eared "placard" .
  4. carafon
    I agree with that . But as he wrote it with Doriand who knows much how to play with French words , I guess there could be double meaning as well
  5. carafon
    I'd rather see it as a list , not necessary one line refering to the next or previous line But it also could be that they closed the closets with Joannie's belongings because it was too much pain to see them Could also be double (or more) meanings and everyone is right ........or wrong

    He said in some interview that it's not only about his mother but everything that s....s in his life . For exemple , "c'est quoi ces rides sur mon visage" is obviously not about his mother.....but of course it doesn't mean that my "placard" idea is right
  7. carafon
    Also " sortir du placard" means " coming out as gay" " être dans le placard" means " someone hiding being gay" Then ,as he said that the song is a summary of all the bad things in his life "placard fermé à double tour" could refer to someone who strongly doesn't want to be outed or someone who doesn't want people to know that a relative is gay.

    It also caught my attention that Mika was only 4 in 1987 . I've always understood that he was bullied at the age of 8 at the " Charles De Gaulle" school at the very beginning of his stay in London He also said before that the family had to move from Paris after his father came back from Koweit where he was stuck because of the beginning of the first gulf war . Remember that he said that his father was sent to Koweit to close an agency and was surprised by the begining of the invasion . If we consider the first gulf war 1980/1988 Mika was not born at the beginning . So I realy think that he refers to the 1990 war . Also if you look at this picture , there is a french 1988 tax sticker at the right top car's window At the second one Mika seems older than in the first one , and unless they are just visiting they were still in Paris. The pictures are from "le divan" and were given by Jasmine who I'd trust more than Mika about dates ....... Btw I don't remember if there were any dates on the pictures of the US ambassy . It would solve the question then .... He said several times that his dyslexia makes him being a bad calculator , that's probably the reason why. And I'm quite sure that the people who recorded it didn't check if it was right Btw , in another recent French interview he said that the "Charles de gaulle lycée" was in Paris........just some mistakes because he has a very full life imo. Or he just don't give any importance to calendars , dates and everything related to time ( explaining all the Mikasoon events .... ) The lenght of his father's "kidnaping" is also a bit different from one interview to another (from 6 to 9 if I remember correctly) . So it's very probable that they moved sometimes in 1991 . Btw I think the interview with the more details about the war is a Canadian one back in 2017 called 125 Marie Anne or something like that

    There is no place in hell for you , first because it's a complement , not a correction and you are absolutely right I don't know why , but usualy people don't make any mistakes with the silent h , that's why I totaly forgot about it As for the "fratrie" , it defines the whole group of siblings , so I don't know if somebody who is part of it can use it to talk about the other ones .As much as I remember , I only saw it used by people who are outside . So ,now we have something new to search and talk about... As I said before ,French is a very strange language and people learning it are very brave !

    oups ! Sorry to be responsible of the confusion To answer to this specific question ,you're right with the translation I think that the strict translation of siblings is "adelphe" , but tbh I don't think many people are using it . Un ou une adelphe est le frère ou la sœur de quelqu'un, sans distinction de genre ou de sexe1234. Le terme vient du grec ancien adelphós, qui signifie « utérin »4. Il s'agit d'un mot épicène, c'est-à-dire qui ne change pas selon le genre4. Le terme adelphe est aussi une traduction du mot anglais sibling34. Au pluriel, les adelphes sont les membres de la fratrie ou de la communauté à laquelle on appartient

    This is not an exeption ....because "H" is a consonant, not a vowel. Btw for the same reason " L 'harcèlement , DE L ' harcèlement "or "D'harcelement" are wrong We have to say " LE harcèlement " or " DU harcèlement " Then " Mika a été victime DE harcèlement" not " Mika a été victime D'harcèlement" This is the French lesson of the day .....thank you for your attention

    The written lyrics are wrong but Mika is right. He sings " mes frère et soeurs" . Otherwise there would be an audible kind of "z" in between "mes brothers z and sisters " French is a strange language so "mes" is right with 1 brother AND 1 sister . Lorsqu’un adjectif qualifie plusieurs noms, il prend la marque du pluriel. Cela est donc vrai des adjectifs possessifs. Ainsi, dans votre exemple, vous écrirez : mes frère et soeur. Une exception à la règle ci-dessus : si un adjectif qualifie une seule et même personne.

    Imo the last snippet we have ( saying "tant qu'on s'enlace on existe" ) is the cutted beginning of the one we had before

    He said he would like to own his own small venue and be able to choose the whole programation with very diferent kinds of music

    Be carefull if you're travelling by train from Germany .

    The traffic to Paris Gare de l'est was interrupted all day long today because of a cable's sabotage .

    The traffic is supposed to be restaured tomorrow but maybe not as it was supposed to be.

    That's fine.....acting the muet and the carp has always been my best roles in theater couses ........

    Come on ...... I apologized for blocking the view ( didn't see much myself btw) and explained you the jokes about Geraldine . (we're not the only ones , look at the september competition) I'm sorry but I don't remember saying anything bad about you and the cape/ glass of wine (didn't even remember who had wine and don't care anyway) We had a good feeling at the dinner so I'm very upset and sad too ! ( sorry for polluting the topic but can't leave it without answer)

    Mika don't worry .... In case I'd be the winner I'd try my best to offer you my price ! Well , I still have to compete before the deadline
  20. carafon
    Is he allowed to compete? Would be fun to see his entry 🤣
  21. carafon
    Wow ! That's realy cool ! Congrats I 'm the one who hasn't visited Juliet's "so called" house As I don't like crowded places , I prefered to spend the time before the concert at the lake . It was very peacefull ! Anna and I were able to enter the venue quite early and managed to add the hearts to the white/red/green papers on the seats. I was very pleased that he added alternative songs to his "standart" setlist . Especially "good guys " that is one of my very favourites . He was so happy to see all the "good guy" sign that I forgive the organisation to have kindda ruin the "origin of love" fan action . Looking at some videos it was not as bad as I feared , at least Mika recognized the heart , it's not that bad I already experienced the choir in Bercy , they are definately a big bonus especially in such big venues . I saw the insta live afterwards (was at a tennis tournament at the meantime) , and realy enjoy what the girl (Elisa ?) from the Gospel said . Seems she's one of us ..... I can't wait to know what they are planing together in the future , I'm sure it will be awsome ! My phone is not good enought to film from afar tho I don't have any good video as the stage was huge and a bit further than usualy ( They had to leave some space for the big heart at the end .... ) . And I was also quite far away both time when he went out .....as alway .... . Luckylly I'm not short and still managed to see something VID_20220919_212253.mp4 VID_20220919_215314.mp4 VID_20220919_215607.mp4 VID_20220919_220033.mp4 VID_20220919_221028.mp4 VID_20220919_223920.mp4 VID_20220919_224210.mp4 VID_20220919_225305.mp4

    That seems very interresting and it's a great honour for Mika to be part of the show along with Lang Lang
  23. carafon
    I understood he posted it "live" I'm tired , I'm veryyyyy tired ! It's finally a good thing that I've got the whole week to recover ! I'd be curious to see "the origin of love" from above to see how the fan action ended From my place I only saw that people in the stands were confused And I noticed that during "good guys" some people holded red sheets .......I guess they were even more tired than me !
  24. carafon
    Now , I understand why he was late ......it's so unlikely that I was sure he had a very good reason And we've finally discovered at the end of the show that the big heart was the owner of the extra seats
  25. carafon
    Yeah I interpret it that way too. I can connect to this feeling myself because "as long you're alive there is still hope."
