babyblue Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I always thought it was about his mother and him, and him being a middle child and coming of age, setting out to do his own thing which is different to what his family expected. (but it is a personal song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 If Mika really didn't want people knowing anything about what's going on in SITM, he wouldn't have immortalized it in song for the whole world to hear. It's nice that people want to respect Mika's privacy and all but it's a bit overboard at times. If Mika is seriously that intent on concealing everything about himself from his fans and the public he might want to think about being a lorry driver or a postman instead of a songwriter and a pop star.

For me, I think my hesitation with talking about it extensively, publicly at least, has to do with what I think it's about. That would stir up a whole conversation that this forum does not need to have again, if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I can tell you the story behind that song right now. He wrote it for the same person he wrote the song 'Sally' about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yeah funny how that died down finally. Seemed to happen quite regularly up until 2 months ago. Yeah. I think because that last conversation wasn't as "We don't care. I don't care. Who cares?" and more "He's gay. Live with it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yeah. I think because that last conversation wasn't as "We don't care. I don't care. Who cares?" and more "He's gay. Live with it." True but some unsuspecting newbie would always happen by and start a thread. Doesn't seem to happen anymore. Even the press appear to be losing interest.

WeAreBothMica Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 we think (some of us) it's because of his father....seems like they have a bad relation, because he and brother fortuné are never into the things Mika does, and it's not common to seee them at the shows... What I've heard is like the father doesn't like what Mika is or Mika does currently at music....I don't know....It could be about the subjects he's reticent to speak about, and one in particular when I think about the sentence "Stuck in the middle", and the theory mi friend Grinch has about Relax... Mika don't look bad at me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolliepop_girl Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 'When we have parted' could easily be referring to his leaving home. But, technically, isn't he still living at home??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armande Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 wow, i never realised how personal of a song it is, with the 'are five kids better than one' and all that. 'when we have parted' could mean pyschologically, as in they dont have the mother - son relationship anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 But, technically, isn't he still living at home??? "When we have parted" is speaking about the future. Since the first line speaks about death, my guess is that's the parting he is referring to. He actually wrote them both about Hollis. Wow Hollis, you lucky girl. I didn't realize he was so smitten with her. we think (some of us) it's because of his father....seems like they have a bad relation, because he and brother fortuné are never into the things Mika does, and it's not common to seee them at the shows... Fortuné sang on the album and particpated in the Grace Kelly video. People have also seen him at concerts. He is a child and must have school commitments so he can't go everywhere with Mika while he's travelling. I would imagine his father has even greater commitments where his job is concerned and his absence doesn't necessarily mean he is not supportive of Mika's career. Mika's always talking about his matriarchal family so his mother has a prominent presence in his life but that doesn't necessarily mean he has a bad relationship with his father. I thought I remember him saying that he felt self-conscious during SITM with his mom in the audience since he's singing about thinking of her death. I always thought it was about her and the usual struggles you have growing up and away from your parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His dad spent the day with us in Croydon for the Big Girl shoot and he was dancing with Mika's mum during the Leeds gig on 13th May and seemed to be enjoying it all. He may well just be quite conservative and works away a lot thus making him appear less supportive. Vix x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loves me. And I must agree about Fortune and his father. Between school and job commitments, there is no way that they can travel around with Mika like his mother or his sisters do.
