Suzy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I think the last time we heard/read about "Erase" was that it was co-written by someone else (?) and if I understand correctly (but please don't quote me, because I am uncertain of the accuracy of this information) that if Mika was not to keen on this song making the album.

lovempls Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Mika was not to keen on this song making the album. Because of the one line that's basically identical to the song "Zombie"? But seriously, I love that song. Both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah90 Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Because of the one line that's basically identical to the song "Zombie"? oh okay.. who sings this song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassiopée Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Last time Mika was in Montreal (Club Soda) he sang Over My Shoulder and a lot of ppl beside me where talking to each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niki27 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Because 1) Erase sucks (sorry I just had to say it) :naughty: 2) Over My Shoulder is far too hard to do at gigs. He used to do it live but you could see how hard it was for his voice. Plus, it would kinda ruin the partying atmosphere, I'd say. Of course this is my opinion only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovempls Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Because of the one line that's basically identical to the song "Zombie"? oh okay.. who sings this song? The Cranberries. But I'm not accusing whoever wrote Erase of plagiarizing, of course. The song's wonderful (IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queenie Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Over My Shoulder needs tons of concentration because it´s difficult to sing. He always asked for people to be quiet (unsuccesfully xD) so i think he just gave up singing it for all the effort required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course this is my opinion only i disagree with everything u say except how it could be hard for mika to sing, I LOVE ERASE and i am sure many other people do to so he is not not singing erase because it "sucks" cuz that is an opinion and knowing mika i wont not do something cuz of an opinion and I also like the song over my shoulder i think its extremely well written and it has amazing vocal ranges as we all no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah90 Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 I don't think mika would have agreed to put a song (erase) he disliked so much in his album.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he's smart enough and got enough feedback to realize Erase ain't his best song ever. BTW, Sarah, Erase isn't on my album version And yes people started talking to each other when he would perform Over My shoulder, and that would ruin his concentration and the atmosphere of the gig... And this last part isn't just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovempls Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Can you tell me what line it is because I'm really confused here "Zombie" But you see, it's not me, it's not my family. In your head, in your head they are fighting, With their tanks and their bombs, And their bombs and their guns. In your head, in your head, they are crying... "Erase" Erase my love I bet you can't erase my touch You're tryin' to replace A feelin' without a name With somebody else's face In your head I swear if it's not the same notes then it's really close to the same notes. And the same rhythm too. But I'm not trying to say anything bad about the people who wrote Erase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fmbm Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 The Cranberries. But I'm not accusing whoever wrote Erase of plagiarizing, of course. The song's wonderful (IMO) I just listened to "Zombie" but it didn't remind me at all of "Erase" EDIT: nevermind I just saw your other post with the lyrics haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovempls Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I went back and listened and Mika's "in your head" is a little bit higher and a little bit slower. But yeah. Still love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
