    No Place in Heaven - Lyrics & Discussion

    in Mika's Music and Artwork

    Posted

    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?

     

    my impression is that in speech he's used to say a lot of different things, many of which are in justaposition with each other, while in his songs he actually pours out his deeper feelings and his soul.

    People often make a show of indifference in order to hide their most intimate state and protect themselves from what the others could say.

    I think this song has a great meaning, it is a very beautiful prayer, and can help a lot of people express what they feel towards God no matter what their religion is.

    "But most of all because it's just Mika, not hiding behind any other characters or props, not pretending to be anything other than himself."

     

    "But he looks directly into the camera as if he's looking directly at a single person in the audience -- you, the viewer. As if you and he are the only ones there in that moment."

     

     

    Thank you Deb you expressed my thought and feeling about the video with the right words!!

    I made a mess with the quote mode, I think :blink:

    This is the best video he has ever done. Simple stripped back to the barebones visually, yet in b/w it gives so much depth to the lyrics of the song. THIS is the video everyone who has ever ridiculed Mikas image in the past needs to see, and they will see that he is not just the flamboyant showman, that they have seen on tv.

     

    I totally agree!! This video is the most beautiful thing he's done so far, it even enhances the song, even thought it's already great in itself - I'm completely overwhelmed by so much beauty. Period.
