Here is the first mini Facebook film from today with @JamesAALongman and UNHCR @Refugees #myrefugeestory  on the Syrian refugees living in a Lebanese banana plantation @BBCWorld https://www.facebook.com/bbcnews/videos/10153273091322217/

Piano Man

I'm so looking forward to New Years Day after hearing this beautiful cover! I've already made it into an mp3 to have it on repeat on my iPod 

Exactly what I did! I just can't get over it. 

My apologies everyone - I had been looking after this thread as Petra hasn't logged in for a very long time, but when we moved to the new site I accidentally didn't add it to the threads I followed.  Consequently I missed the recent posts here.

 

I had been planning to relaunch Mika Mail as I hoped that some of the newer members would like to try it.  So you can carry on sorting yourselves out, or I can start a new Mika Mail thread in 2016, whichever you would prefer.

This sounds fun! I want to participate. New MM thread would be good.

mikainstagram Paris, on my way to the airport. #NoFilter Heading now on a VERY special journey for the next few days before Christmas. A subject matter close to my heart. STAY TUNED for more info and for how to get involved. X

:tears:

He always do that! hooked us up with a cheerful tougue, then when we realize it's a sad song it's too late! Bad MIKA!!  

 

I translated the lyrics into English because it's a witty text, it sounds happy but the story is kind of sad...like most Mika's songs...moustaches used to be a coded name for the police many years ago , before I was born for those who wondered ...

 

Lyrics in English

 

 

I sing!

Oh, I sing in the morning and in the evening,

I sing on my way

I sing , I go from farms to castles  

I sing for bread, I sing for water 

I sleep

At night on the grass in the woods 

Flies

Do not bite me

I'm happy , I have it all and I have nothing 

And I sing on my way 

 

 

The elves

Divinities of the night ,

The elves

Sleep in my bed.

The moon is sneaking as silent as a wolf

Into the woods , to dance, to dance with us.

I ring

the countess doorbell today :

Nobody,

She's gone,

She only left a dish of rice for me 

Says a chinese  lackey to me 

 

Oh I sing

But hunger which is chasing me 

Is tormenting 

My appetite .

Suddenly I fall into a hole on the pathway,

I fall and faint and I'm half dying

 

Hey , policemen,

Who are walking on this pathway 

Yeah policemen, catch my hand.

Have pity, I'm hungry, I want to eat,

I'm totally light... light..."

 

To the police station,

Other policemen told me,

To the police station,

my friend,

Is that you the singer, the tramp?

We'll lock you up ... yes, your number's up."

 

Oh, rope,

You saved me from life ,

Rope,

Be blessed

Because, thanks to you I surrended my spirit ,

I hung myself on that night... and since then...

 

I sing !

I sing in the evening and in the morning,

I sing

On my way,

I'm haunting farms and castles ,

A singing ghost, people find me funny

And I sleep ,

At night on the grass in the woods 

Flies 

Do not bite me

I'm happy, I'm ok, I'm not hungry anymore,

And I sing 

On my way

 

The last part really hits me. Now I will have mix feelings while watching the video.

Merci, Anne!

I think this music video is the best one he has made

Most fun music video after WAG imo. I can feel the freedom.

Here's the link: https://vk.com/video335293585_171615426

I also made an edited one. Cropped the vid so it wouldn't look like an ad.

Magnifique! 

Why didn't they just make 3.00 min video as Je chante music video? 

Edit:

Well, just saw Eriko's post. They did. 

I watched the replay here: http://mareplaytv.fr/video/touche-pas-a-mon-poste-replay-du-14-decembre-2015/ and it worked for me (outside France).

My eyes only saw 2pm on first post.   

Now it's all clear. Thanks, Marina! 

I think this means 12:05 on that day?

It does. I mean, they first announced it will be broadcast at 14.00. 

Wait... isn't the Sherlock special on on the 4th of January?
