Petra Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 i really dont like that song its not mikaish at all... really dont like it.sorry I didnt like it at all at first as well, simply because of the stupid ridiculous fact that he sings the first "shoulder" like "shoulTer" and then I didnt get the "cold & dry" thingy which is... weird. I prefer songs like Ring Ring or SITM - although I think that OMS is a genius composition. OMS sounds like a rainy cold day on the beach - it reminds me a lot of the soundtrack from "The Piano". You simply need to be in the right mood for it (IMO). It's good & I like it [now] (maybe simply because it's from Mika I need to admit) - his voice is gorgeous and the composition simply great but not my I-listen-to-it-everday-taste as it sounds pretty sad to me (whatever he is actually talking about).

And i get what you mean on the Mika-ish part, its pretty different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i get what you mean on the Mika-ish part, its pretty different! I understand that... I don't like ring ring, and some people look at me in a strange way for that, it's like: How can you dislike a Mika song being so fan of Mika?? ('cause some of the fans here love ALL the songs) Perhaps it has nothing to do... I like Over my shoulder, though it's different. I find it very sweet in the way he sings it live with that falsetto voice I agree that album version doesn't shine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue grey Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 My favourite version has gone from youtube. Ah well. So I listened to another favourite, this saddest song in a voice so rich, so full.. turn up the sound http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8ByoUc3vWm8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it very sweet in the way he sings it live with that falsetto voice I agree that album version doesn't shine Yeah, to be honest i'm not the biggest fan of ring ring either. like you said - some songs just don't shine. But if it came on the radio, i wouldn't switch off, i'd probably sit and sing along, it's just not my favourite. And over my shoulder is just so different - because i'm not the biggest fan of classical/opera music, because that's the genre its pointing towards ( and of which i know nothing about anyway), i'm not the biggest fan of over my shoulder. But to someone who loves that style, they can appreciate the technicality of the work and enjoy the song. I'm aware that i'm so incredibly bad at explaining myself, so as not to offend anybody, i'm just saying that everything in what i wrote is generalised and its just one opinion out of 6 billion other people in the world. edit: i have to agree that the album version of oms feels a bit "mechanical"; it definately comes over better live.

Christine Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Yes but what is "Mikaish"??? Surely the fact that HE wrote it, HE sings it, HE plays it makes it one of the most "Mikaish" songs. I agree that it's probably as Mikaish as it gets. The song is not LICMish however. It doesn't fit in with the rest of the album and it has no place in his Dodgy Holiday Tour production. I don't care for it on the album and it didn't work well at a small club in Toronto where the sound was not sufficient for that kind of song. But I do love the Koko performance. That's the case for all his slow tempo songs IMO. They sound far better live with the passion and subtlety that's lost in the overproduced tracks on the album. Ring Ring is also very different live. It's one of my favourite numbers at his concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantapantsprice Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 i've stayed in sooo many saturday nights to watch him live at Koko....is that sad?? but i agree, the performance of "Over My Shoulder" was beautiful:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petra Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Ring Ring is also very different live. It's one of my favourite numbers at his concerts. I sososososo agree!!!! Ring Ring is totally great live. However, I'm afraid that he might cut it out of the show once the new album is out and he needs to do more (new) songs during the show :boxed: . It is not a song like Grace Kelly or Love Today or Big Girl that HAS to be performed (I guess). But is soooooooooooooooo love it!!!!! :punk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazGirl Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 i hope he doesn't cut out AOW either. It's my least favourite on the album but one of my favourites live, with or without the cello/violins. It just has more emotion and passion in it and I love watching the look one his face when he sings it. As for Ring Ring, i love it on track or live: it's one of my mum's favourites and wanted him to make it a single It's different from the others, it has a more rock feel to it like Sweet Dreams I guess, and I feel it's a genre that he's well suited to. In my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantapantsprice Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Is it on regularly?? Please tell..... it's been on TMF and VH1 a couple of times since feb/march but it hasn't been on now again for a few weeks unfortunately:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiza Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 I agree. I also hope he doesn't cut Any Other World - although I would understand if he did. Any other world is one of my favourite songs to listen live. There's so much emotion in this song and i love the part when he turns the mic to the audience and everyone starts singing Hopefully we'll get to listen to Any other world in the future gigs too!

Iit was like an angel's voice. Really emotinal Me too - I'll never forget, as long as I live, being right in front of him, while he was sitting behind the piano, on the small stage of Sentrum Scene, Oslo 17.3.2010, performing "Over my shoulder" It's maybe the best live version ever, and it made the screaming audience breathless and quiet - a really strong and emotional moment Thanks to clever MFCers being present, this version was taped, and can still be enjoyed. And if this song really is the first demo he ever recorded, it's really great that he can still use it, with such success...
