    'Rio' Song and Lyrics Discussion

    in Mika's Music and Artwork

    Posted

     

    A lighthearted song! The lyrics are funny, my favourite parts are

     

    I’ve got holes in all my pockets
    Even those holes, they’ve got pockets
     
     
    and
     
     
    Bake you a cake and I burn it up twice
    I roll thirteen on a pair of dice 
     
     
    very clever!! 

     

    I think my favourite part's the "Maybe I'll be myself when I'm somebody else".  :) probably melodically more than anything

    Lyrics:

    Oh here I go again

    I wake up every morning to this Groundhog Day
    Thinking about the list of things that I’ve done wrong
    Can’t even count, it goes on too long
     
    I try to change my ways
    I feel like I’m the villain in some crappy play
    The book has long been written, but I’d rather be
    Just about anyone else but me, I hope you see
     
    It doesn’t mean I’m not a fighter
    It's just that I wanna be a little lighter
    Spent so long fixing things I’ve done
    I’ve got holes in all my pockets
    Even those holes, they’ve got pockets
    Hiding things that’ll never see the sun
     
    I’m taking off, going to Rio
    I’m getting lost to find an alter-ego
    It could be Paris or Berlin, I don’t care what state I’m in
    Gonna leave it all behind
    Maybe I’ll be myself when I’m somebody else
     
    This is not an invitation, I’m going to Rio
    This is not a conversation, say goodbye to me-oh
     
    Maybe in ten years time
    You’ll receive a letter from some random guy
    You’ll like him so much better
    But then you will see, he’s not a stranger it’s only me
     
    I can only be myself as somebody else
     
    'Cause you got sun, I got bad weather
    Anything you can lose I can lose better
    Do my best with what life gave to me
    I’ve got holes in all my pockets
    Even those holes, they’ve got pockets
    Hiding things that I sure want to leave
     
    I’m taking off, going to Rio
    I’m getting lost to find an alter-ego
    It could be Paris or Berlin, I don’t care what state I’m in
    Gonna leave it all behind
    Maybe I’ll be myself when I’m somebody else
     
    This is not an invitation, I’m going to Rio
    This is not a conversation, say goodbye to me-oh
     
    Give me a peanut and I’ll turn blue
    I can't even eat the things you do
    Bake you a cake and I burn it up twice
    I roll thirteen on a pair of dice

    All She Wants Lyrics & Discussion

    in Mika's Music and Artwork

    Posted

    Being in the UK I don't have access to the entire song, just the preview on French iTunes, but this is what I'm hearing from the preview:

    "Simple solution
    For my mothers delusion
    Get her some adorable pictures done
    For her mother in Lebanon

    All that she wants (All she wants)
    All that she wants
    All that she wants (All she wants)
    All that she wants 
    All that she wants (All she wants)
    All that she wants
    Is another son

    To be clear, I'm not a hater, and my wife, I like her too
    Let's be honest with each other, there's some things we always knew
    All that she wants is the sun and the moon
    The call of the wild and a big silver spoon

    All she wants

    Is another little special arrangement
    A financial engagement
    Social standing is stable
    But no kids on the table
    Just a little harmless diversion
    An acceptable version 
    But I know my heart is in peril
    I made a deal with the devil

    All that she wants (All she wants)"

    Bleh, I need this song now!

    Good Wife - Discussion and lyrics

    in Mika's Music and Artwork

    Posted · Edited by ItsMichaeeel

    This is what I heard. I couldn't work out the fast part in the bridge, though:

    He comes on over, wants to drown his sorrows on the,

    Two-seat sofa and some whiskey in a bottle
    Broken tears with the weight of the world on his shoulders

    Oh my God Sam, what’s happened to your senses?
    Wife’s just left with a two year-old daughter
    Driven Acapulco with some idiots you met a couple months ago.
     
    I wish I could tell you that
    If it was me, I would be a good wife,
    I would never doubt you, 
    Ours would be a good life
    We could be better than so many
    I would never stress you about bringing home the plenty
     
    For all these things, another life I’ll have to wait,
    Life could be perfect, if only God had wanted it,
    You’ll never know it, we’ll get old,
    Let’s not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder
     
    You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know the good life,
    You'll never know the good life,
    You'll never know the good life
     
    Somebody once told me that there are watchers and there are doers in this world,
    Guess I’m a watcher, not by choice, it’s just what I deserve,
    We’re just two friends, it ain’t a risky situation
     
    I wish I could tell you that
    If it was me, I would be a good wife,
    I would never doubt you, 
    Ours would be a good life
    We could be better than so many
    I would never stress you about bringing home the plenty
     
    For all these things, another life I’ll have to wait,
    Life could be perfect, if only God had wanted it,
    You’ll never know it, we’ll get old,
    Let’s not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder
     
    You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know the good life,
    You'll never know the good life,
    You'll never know the good life
     
    Rest your head upon my shoulder
    Now that life’s a little colder
    Even if you’ll never know
    My love will never hurt the sunshine (?)
    We’ll keep (?) about the good time
     
    For all these things, another life I’ll have to wait,
    Life could be perfect, if only God had wanted it,

    You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know the good life,
    You'll never know the good life,
    You'll never know the good life

    'China Boy' - the song that never was! (Project)

    in General Chin Wagging

    Posted

    So today I was listening to L'amour Fait Ce Quil Veut, and I got to thinking about 'China Boy', the song that never was, and I thought wouldn't it be a cool idea if we, MFC, could complete it for ourselves? I found the Zurich 8.11.12 performance of Celebrate, where he gave fans a little snippet of a first verse:



    "In this life, we must learn,
    Hearts like paper rip and burn,
    Don't play with fire, it's not okay,
    There's a price you have to pay,
    You pick me up, I become your China Boy,
    You let me go, a million pieces on the floor,
    Don't clean me up, leave me for the world to see,
    But did you know, it was you that set me free?"

    and so I set out to try and make the start of a demo with that little bit the song. Maybe we could try and write a second verse, and work out what kind of a chorus it could have. China Boy sounds like he could have been a really interesting character with a narrative behind him, not too dissimilar to Toy Boy, Word Girl and Lollipop Girl.

    So here's what I got:

    https://soundcloud.com/itsmichaeeel-1/china_boy_1st_demo

    So are there any singers, songwriters, lyricists or producers out there who'd be interested in seeing what we could do with it? We could all send each what we come up with and create a patchwork of ideas to put into a song! 

    Maybe if we all worked something out and created a finished 'China Boy' song, we could show it to Mika and it could inspire him to finish the song? Either way it could be fun!  :) get in touch!!!

    How does MIKA do his hair?

    I'm not a hair expert by any means haha, but I'd suggest hair mousse? It's supposed to define curls and make hair fuller and more voluptuous (love that word!) and maybe section your hair when you get out the shower, take a round brush and blowdry it bit by bit starting at the back, wrapping some hair around the brush and drying it.

     

    I don't know. ? hope I helped!

    Hey! So I'm looking for the video of Mika, on stage during one of the OOL tour shows, where he's talking about having to make himself look nice, so he tucks his shirt in and does his hair and when he gets on stage he looks like a mess anyway. Something along those lines. :') anyone know what I'm referring to? Thanks guys!
