    Not sure of anyone cares about the chart discussion but the album is #184 on Billboard 200.

    The italian version sounds better to me - and I do understand the text, but I disliked the english lyrics a lot so Im not the best to judge

    Hes always had a distinct point of view on many issues and I could usually see where he is coming from but literally all comments on sex and sensuality hes made this time are just ...off.

    They arent though, maybe better in terms of what their expectations were He isnt doing well on streaming thats why the chart placements are so low even though he sells well enough. The charts do matter from a marketing point of view... Anyway if theyre happy then 🤷‍♀️

    Boum boum boum was a top 10 hit and Talked about you charted inside top 40 too I agree about the 4 year break, but if Ice cream had done better, it wouldve sold the album too.
  7. ellie
    I can see that

    Its not that unexpected though, this album didnt have a hit

    I feel like "Love that youre near me" makes the most sense though, "Love that you need me" seems totally out of context to me.

    I thought Tiny Love was about his mom/family instantly but I seem to be only one who heard the first verse as him singing about how... he isnt singing about romantic love

    Agree that all his albums are personal and that his songwriting changed (well, I would rather say expanded) since TOOL, but I never got the point about imaginary characters I mean, 6/10 songs on LICM dont have any characters, hes always been upfront with what Big girl and Love Today are about and Lollipop and Billy Brown were obvious imo. Writting about other people/from a double perspective just seems to be his preffered songwritting style, its more or less on all his albums.

    He talked about Tomorrow back in may in one of the first interviews he gave for this album so unlikely Agree lol

    No way its that old, cover stories are done 2-3 months in advance usually.

    Something had to replace Make you happy as my most disliked Mika song I guess I dont think he adds anything special either but I feel I wouldve found the song a bit too cheesy without his growly vocals; I do want to hear the solo Mika version though.

    I knew of this but 'it could be about' is very ... 'you can call me bi' lol. You could read his answer as him simply aknowledging that the song has multiple meanings/is open for interpretations not that it really means what he says Thats why I asked if he talked more explicitly.
  16. ellie
    I dont hear Ready to call this love as a love song but as encouraging someone to believe in love; and Stay hight just sounds like 'nonsense that flows with the beat' to me He does, but did he explicitly say in any interview that Tomorrow is about Andy though? ( genuine question, Im not being snarky )
  17. ellie
    Oh I like this kind of ranking A+ Sanremo, Cry A list: Ice cream, Ready to call this love, Paloma, Blue B list: I went to hell last night, Dear Jealousy, Tiny love C list: Tomorrow, Stay High, Tiny love reprise ( this wouldve been an A if it was only Mika singing and Ready to call this love a C without Jack ) Z list: Platform Ballerinas
  18. ellie
    Thought so, lol. Fortune?
  19. ellie
    No, I can listen to those just fine, theyre just unispired, but these Stay High lyrics seems like an attempt at being quirky 'Oh I learned about gravity in school, this isnt just a dumb song about getting high'. Same for that 'our generation has so much gloom/ Cause there ain't no money left after the baby boom' line - it seems senseless in context, like he is trying to make the song more meaningful or something, it actually sounds really cringey to me cuz its a total underdeveloped and superficial idea.

    Cry

    This is my favourite song on the album And about the meaning @mellody my first thought was that its a metaphor about coping with depression/addiction actually.
  21. ellie
    It did cross my mind that he may actually project his own feelings onto this character here since he talked in a couple of instances about feeling unmanly, lesser than heterosexual men etc. I wish he wouldve written more specifically if he had someone in mind and dont generalize, because this doesnt seem like an universal experience to me
  22. ellie
    These may be the worst lyrics he ever wrote
  23. ellie
    Yeah, 'From the priest to the whore'... so the same person then
  24. ellie
    Ehh.. the forced marketing around Jack is pretty obvious
  25. ellie
    I get the message of the song yeah but this seems like a non-issue to me... I mean, I am a gender-nonconforming woman and Ive never felt less than girl and no one ever made me feel that way so the song is just bizzare to me and thats why Ive found it very condescending; hes assuming something that just ... never crossed my mind. Or I guess less than a girl would mean less feminine? But, some women are just less feminine lol, some transwomen are less feminine, some men are more feminine than women. I dont see whats wrong with pointing this out, its just a question of aesthetics and preference not a judgement of value and no one really is denying peoples gender in this instance I agree but.. who says otherwise? This seems redundant to me Edit: Also isnt a girl who aint like any other senorita and wont let you ever forget getting ...exactly what she wants when people dont see her as any other girl ? This character in the song just sounds like a bitch who wants to have her cake and eat it too lol.
