    It's My House, Lyrics & Discussion

    Here goes another strange thought.  Mika reminds me so much of Giulietta Masina in La Strada.  Of course she brought alot of Charlie Chaplin to the role, so there is that.  But she is the heart of Fellini's world.  She sees the magic in life.  And she feels for everyone. 

     

    And now I know which Tarot card he would be -- the King of Cups.  

     

    This song is a welcome, a promise, a song of inclusion.  It is beautifully generous and full of heart.  It's what I imagine you all feel when you walk into a Mika show. (I have never been).   

    " 'Cause my house

    Is your house

    My heart is too

    It's my house

    It's your house
    There's room for you

     

    Ain't no walls you could keep my heart in
    Ain't no walls I won't lock you out"

     

    I really, really, really like this man.

    what are the similarities and differences between mentally ill Vs general population?

    @bone II hey dahv!! Thank you so much for your reply. Sorry I didn't see this earlier..

     

    I like the way you put it as a " neurodivergence" . I have read somewhere in the book called Siddhartha's brain ( a book by James Kingsland) that everyone of us has mental illness.(Perhaps we don't name it as mental illness) It's just the matter of whether one realizes it or not. 

     

    I take it as a spectrum .Each of us has emotional disturbances or mental formation disruption to a certain degree, and it is very much depend on the environmental factors. I have social anxiety to a certain degree, some obsessive compulsive personality trait only expressed when in excessive stress, and magical thinking most of the time :wink2: which to some people it is totally absurd. 

     

    Sometimes I find that it's unfair to just diagnose an illness based on a guideline, as long as fulfilling the so called criteria. It's arbitrary. One is said to be "ill' because he or she doesn't belong to the group which is "healthy". That's what happening when we diagnose mental illness based on a guidebook, based on the criteria. (Which is what I'm doing everyday :tears: ) 

     

    But there's one thing which I learned that, in life, we have choices. We can choose the way of who we are, by learning more about ourselves, and be aware of our strengths and weaknesses. With the little insight gained day by day, we will be more comfortable with the surrounding, with the people, with the universe, and with ourselves. 

     

    Oh ya, I think weird is also arbitrary. When A perceived B as weird, merely because they have different sets of benchmark or standard. Sometimes conformity in the society can kill. Just because the voices are soft, doesn't mean what we are saying is wrong. 

     

    Thank you Dahv and I wish you getting more and more comfortable with us, and with yourself. :wub:

     

    :hug: Cya around.

    The Essence of Mika

    We've long thought that a perfect Mika gig would be just him with a piano.  He's not a great piano player, but he writes some very lyrical accompaniments to his songs. 

     

    Try listening to "Falling", which later became "I See You" 

     

     

     

    I love "I'm falling' ! 

    I was very surprised when 'I see you' was first released. I told my friend that ''It wasn't like that before this " . It took me awhile to accept "I see you' then like the song naturally :P

    what are the similarities and differences between mentally ill Vs general population?

    Hi all! I'm a psychiatry trainee who works in a mental institution in Malaysia. 

     

    I'm planning to do an interventional study to reduce stigma in mental health. Stigmatization in mental health is one of the main obstacles which hinder the treatment and recovery process for most of the patients. 

     

    Currently most of the interventions are focusing on mental health literacy (by improving the knowledge towards mental illness, hoping that it will reduce stigma).

     

    The outcome of current studies show that there is no sustainable effect even after improved mental health literacy.

     

    If we trace back the origin of stereotyping, it will be as such : dichotomous labelling ( human capacities to differentiate and to categorise ). This binary thinking leads us to differentiate good vs bad, us vs them. 

     

    My idea is to target on this binary thinking. My initial idea was to show them a video which is focusing on the similarity between in-group and out-group (mentally ill vs general population).

     

    Here's my questions: 

    1) what are the similarities and differences between mentally ill Vs general population? 

     

    (My idea is to emphasize the similarities, to reduce the gap in between these two groups) 

     

    2) To those who have been battling with mental illness, what do you think that illness had changed you as a person? 

     

    3) To those who are not diagnosed with mental illness, what do you think about a person who is having mental illness? In which aspect do you think they are different from you? 

     

    I appreciate suggestions and ideas. Please gimme a personal message if you are not comfortable sharing it in public. :wink2:

     

    Cheers guys. :flowers2:

    Have a wonderful day people.

    What are the similarities between people?

    Silarities between people is a very interesting topic for a thesis !

    To me, similarities allow people to connect with each other because most of the time the human being is looking forward to socialise with people like him in a way. It can be a similar life goal, or a similar Hoby, or even a similar friend ! 

    But in the same idea, a lot of people are trying to be different from those they know . But it can be true in order to do/be sth like someone else or just in order to be the only unique human being to be like this. 

    Humans are naturally curious and easily go to people that they rely to. But sometimes we want to get our own voice and be the different one, the Unique one...

    In most species of animals this is also true ! Our best friend is very often the one we want to be like or its complete opposite, the one we absolutely don't want to be like ?

    This so interesting, it's really a good topic, if I wanna do or debate or sth like that I am sure that it will be an awesome one !

    Good luck for your project ;-)

    Thank you @frenchfan84 for your ideas. Similar hobbies, similar friends..and it's human nature to get close to those who shared some similarities (in various ways) .. and most of the time people conform to the society. 

     

    As what  @silver had suggested, I guess I need to tell in a more specific way now :wink2:. 

     

    I will write a new post soon. Hope to get more ideas from you all. Thank you so much for your wishes. Please stay tune.

    Similarities between people is a tremendously wide subject - could you be a bit more specific about what you mean, without giving away the subject of your thesis?

     

    Do you mean cultural similarities, or similarity of religious beliefs, or physical similarities .....

    Thanks silver for the suggestion. Yea I guess it's better for me to write in detail. (Initially thought that I might get more ideas if it's broader scope.)  

     

    I will write a new post then. ?? Let me think of how to put it in a better way.. hehe.

    Heyy everyone I'm very happy to introduce myself here! (finally)
    My name is Ryan and I'm a 14-years-old boy from Volgograd! To be honest, I'm a little bit shy so I have problems with introducing myself I don't really know what to write! :tears:
    So I really LOVE music, it's literally my everything, I'm listening to it as long as I remember myself, I like very different types of music. Also I'm excited to say that I bought my first musical instrument not so long ago, it is an ukulele! Can't wait to learn more and more about it! In fact, I've already learned some chords and songs, but still can't strum but I hope i'll hook up with it later. And my dream is to make some covers for my YouTube channel! Wish me luck ha ha 
    Here comes the most important part! My Mika obsession story lasts not for so long, but I already feel like I'm here FOREVER, and I'm very comfortable with it ;) The first time when I heard his songs was in my childhood, but I didn't really mind it. Back in February of this year, a friend of mine sent me Underwater and Relax and for the second song I was like "Oh, this one sounds familiar! I heard it!", but what about Underwater? I just fell in love with it ever since.. But I didn't really pay attention to the singer before my another friend started talking about Mika and I was totally surprised! So she introduced me to this beatiful Mika world :D (I can thank you for the rest of my life, Anastasia!!)
    I'm getting so emotional right now because I'm so so proud to become a part of this big and warm fandom and community! Everyone so nice here aaa i love you already guys and I'm really looking forward to hang out here with you a lot! 
    P.S. - Sorry for too much text AND my English grammatic mistakes (I'm sure that I have them), it's not my first language, but learning it is the one of my dreams :cheerful_h4h:
     

    Hello Ryan welcome to MFC!!  good luck and have fun practicing ukulele! looking forward to view your videos on YouTube :) 

    Wish your dreams come true :)
