    I just don't think I could cope with up to 5 hours of travel with too many changes. There is a coach from Leeds that claims to take 4 and a half hours (one rest stop) buuuuuut I hate coaches! When it comes to travel I need to put my health first. Cost is another issue. I'd be looking at the same price for travel too and I can't imagine accommodation near the venue will be cheap. I can't justify spending so much just to go to Cheltenham. I'd rather wait and see (with hope and patience!) if Mika will do something closer to me and then it really will be worth it!

    She's a DJ certainly not an acclaimed pianist 🙃. I wouldn't be surprised if the article was rushed by a journalist with a strict deadline, they probably had her name and Lang Lang ready to copy but they got mixed up. Still a bad mistake for Daily Mirror! The articles in the magazines I got also contradict each other when it comes to the contestants ages, one says the youngest is 9 years old while another says 11 and when it comes to the oldest contestant one magazine says it's a 90 year old yet another says 94 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    In the Instagram Live today someone (sorry I can't remember their name) was saying that Mika's soundtrack should be played live with an orchestra. And I'm just thinking how awesome that would be and it's possibly do-able. There's been symphonic concerts recently to honour Joe Hisaishi (Studio Ghibli), where his music is played in a theatre to various scenes from the movies he's worked on (there's a screen set up on the stage), this is done with a live orchestra in the theatre and special guests are also there to talk about the films. Imagine if something like that could be done with Zodi et Téhu! Watching it at the cinema is one thing but to hear the soundtrack live while the movie is playing and also have Mika there to discuss the music would be truly magical! This has surely got to happen one day!

    I honestly thought Cheltenham was fairly close to where I am, but no, by train I'm looking at 4+ hours of travel and that's using 3 trains It's not impossible but I don't think I could cope with that level of stress with all the train changes. It's actually easier for me to get to London compared to going to Cheltenham 🙃 I just wish train services in the North would have better connections.

    Don't leave us hanging, you have to share the joke now!

    I knew this thread was around somewhere! I guess this is also an appropriate place to talk about whether Mika has ever influenced your own fashion choices? He certainly has with me and it started right back when I first discovered him in 2007! Yes I buy clothes that I just genuinely like myself (it's not like Mika controls my whole life ) but sometimes I wonder if Mika would buy/wear similar clothes too. It would be hard for me to go through my whole wardrobe and start sharing everything that is Mika-esque but a few things that I've bought over the years that I can describe are: - White jacket with black outline doodles with matching pink top - Black 'shacket' with colourful geometric shapes - Gold and silver sparkly converse shoes - Bright yellow hoodie - Grey sweater with an embroidered flower design (it reminded me of the Rite of Spring artwork) - Both chinos and jeans in various colours of the rainbow (I'm just missing a pair in royal blue) All I need now to be more like Mika is the same sized wardrobe he has! 😁 (I remember reading somewhere that it's HUGE, but can't remember just how big)

    Here you go! This might be Mika's weird clothing thread but this can be my own little contribution to the weirdness, my 'little houses' jacket that I got for £2 in a charity shop! Little houses, hearts, clouds, trees and the cute heart zipper! (Bonus: purple jeans!) When I'm buying clothes I sometimes wonder if it's something Mika would wear and if the answer's yes I'll probably buy it! 😁

    Thanks for sharing the articles @Kumazzz
  9. TinyLove_CJ
    I did it! 😁 They all say similar things about The Piano, Claudia is the one who answers most of the questions though. Loved this little extra in the Radio Times, now we know where Mika got inspiration from when he collaborated with Vianney For anyone who can't read the text in the above image: What I'm streaming: Mika: "I've managed to catch up on Sex Education." says the musician and star of the new Channel 4 series The Piano. "It's just brilliant. I'm 39 years old now, but I wish that programme had existed when I was 15, because I'd be a hell of a lot less messed up and I would have made fewer mistakes in my own sex life." I could do the text for the main articles but it would probably take me a long time, I'll see if they're online anywhere!

    Will do when I'm back home tomorrow afternoon! 😊
  11. TinyLove_CJ
    I hope so! It's so pretty 😍, if it was under a £100 I'd be more tempted.
  12. TinyLove_CJ
    You think that's a weird shirt?! I love it and would totally wear it! ❤ I have a jacket no too dissimilar to it, but my jacket has little houses on it! 😁
  13. TinyLove_CJ
    Thanks so much for sharing the videos @Kumazzz! I think the top one here is the one that was used in the UK advert! I haven't seen it for such a long time
  14. TinyLove_CJ
    Or maybe there'll be a sequel about Téhu Jr. Then Mika will have to do another soundtrack!
  15. TinyLove_CJ
    I'm looking for the UK TV ad of when LICM was being released. I remember the advert playing a lot in the weeks leading up to the album (Grace Kelly and I think Big Girl played in the ad) and seeing it again would bring back so many memories! Whenever I saw it I would just stop whatever I was doing and either stare at the TV or do a dance to Grace Kelly! 😂 (guess what I do now whenever The Piano trailer comes on channel 4! ) I only remember one ad but if there's any other press release videos of the LICM release that were shown in the UK then I would love to see it!
  16. TinyLove_CJ
    I was just thinking that this is like Keep it Simple all over again! 😅 We really need to pin Mika down and ask him what he's singing!
  17. TinyLove_CJ
    That's exactly how 'aye' is pronounced in English Thanks for explaining, my French teachers were never good at explaining things like this, not one teacher was actually French either! 😅 (probably doesn't help either that I had more than one teacher at school, they all had different styles and dialects 🙃)
  18. TinyLove_CJ
    Just out of interest how do French people pronounce 'soleil' ? I've always thought the last L is silent, that's how I was taught it in French lessons. So it sounds like SOL-AYE, that's what I hear in the song. With the movie being set in the desert it would make sense if Mika is saying "In the sun". French is spoken in Morocco, so like you said it could just be a different dialect.
  19. TinyLove_CJ
    I agree, talking about 19 individual pieces of music could get confusing, just for the instrumental parts I'd rather just discuss them here without making extra long threads.
  20. TinyLove_CJ
    Mika's next album isn't music at all, it will be a photo album of his time being a naturist!

    My go at the lyrics from what I can hear: No Time to Leave lyrics: Deep Mika voice: There's no time left to leave No time to leave behind There's no time left to leave No time to leave behind Mika: When the world is spinning There's no road out there ?? You say you don't even care You say there's a mountain You say you climb over And all of the world can laugh We can't even move so fast They'll say that you're crazy You say we're together Chorus: Don't let your worries rule ?? They're not for you to write ?? Only one thing's for sure What's good is worth the fight Deep Mika voice: There's no time left to leave No time to leave behind There's no time to leave No time to leave behind Mika: When the world is spinning x 2 à soleil, à soleil, à solely, à soleil, ah! [French: In the sun] You're able to take you're time But you see the finish line No one can stop you Oh claim your thunder ?? Chorus: Don't let your worries rule ?? They're not for you to write ?? Only one thing's for sure What's good is worth the fight Deep male voice: There's no time left to leave No time to leave behind There's no time to leave No time to leave behind Mika: When the world is spinning x 2 à soleil, à soleil, à soleil, à soleil, ah! [French: In the sun] Deep Mika voice: There's no time left to leave No time to leave behind There's no time to leave No time to leave behind When the world is spinning à soleil, à soleil, à soleil, à soleil, ah! [French: In the sun]

    I'd love to know who the other male voice is singing with Mika in this song but it doesn't look like they're credited anywhere, even the details on YouTube don't mention who it is. I just really love the mixture of the two voices! I'm listening to it a few times on YouTube at the moment to try and get the lyrics. Once I work out what I think I'm hearing I'll share it here. (unless someone beats me to it! 😅)
  23. TinyLove_CJ
    I'm wondering if she is singing in the Zulu language. The zulu word "yomile" means arid and "omile" means dry, it could be that she's repeating the line before but in her native language 🤔
  24. TinyLove_CJ
    I hear "Not wearin' a thing" too and that's in both versions, I've got my noise cancelling headphones on and they do help to make songs/music slightly clearer. Still not too sure what Nomfundo is singing in her first verse though, I hear "hide between your shoulders"
  25. TinyLove_CJ
    The whole soundtrack is beautiful. I love all the music from The Beginning to the end! With a few of the music pieces it's nice to hear Mika's voice dotted here and there. There's something quite comforting about hearing Mika do heart beat sounds for Two Hearts Beat Together. My favourite piece of non lyrical music is Final Race, it just feels like there's so much happiness behind it, I can really begin to imagine a camel race when I close my eyes to that music! With Calm After the Storm does anyone else think it sounds like Over my Shoulder?
