anne Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Hi all newbi here.Has anyone got all the words to the lady telling her story in the Any Other World track? 1
blue grey Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Welcome, how interesting that you should ask that. This is for me the most potent portion of the album. Relax and Any Other World. Raffa Kobeisi. I understand that she is an old family friend who visits them often. This is how it sounds to me: Same day I went to dress for wedding, same day, where I went married, what happened - he's gone married another girl. When he's married another girl I am very, very sad, I can't walk, like cutted my legs. How he's married different lady, I no believe. After one month, I am sent up in balcony some bomb come for my eyes. My eyes gone. My eyes gone in bomb, now I have only one eyes. I am sad until now. I no married any man after. I never ever I forget my story. My face is no sad, but inside I am sad. 1

NoodleZ Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 lol at the end she said "bas inside i am sad" ... she used the Arabic word for but xD ! 1
blue grey Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 lol at the end she said "bas inside i am sad" ... she used the Arabic word for but xD ! Ah, thank you, how nice to meet you here. Isn't the internet amazing. Like a tea party and reference library, where you can smoke and eat and drink if you like, with friends dozing off in corners. The meaning and influence of the words interest me very much within the context of the Relax/Any Other World entity, which I see as a perfect and complete whole, deeply appropriate to our times.

pinkunicorn123 Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I always thought it was: I never ever afforded my store, my face no sad, but some say i am sad.
daisylou Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I thought it was.... like God took my legs? Not cutted my legs MIKA where are you when we need you? xxx

blue grey Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Yes, these two songs have had an inspiring influence on me, and Raffa's story is embedded in them. It is so poignant, and she so philosophical. I had a good friend once who said the voice is the real window to the soul. Her presence knitted into the songs has helped me to assimilate some difficult matters in my imagination, and to express a range of ideas that I would have thought impossible once. The edifice of our minds, the weave of familiar thoughts.
Louiza Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 lol at the end she said "bas inside i am sad" ... she used the Arabic word for but xD ! that's interesting!
anne Posted May 10, 2008 Author Posted May 10, 2008 Thanx for your help on this.To me it sounded like "carpet my legs" but I realised that was wrong lol:biggrin2:

blue grey Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Yesterday in Dublin a conference hoping to outlaw cluster bombs began, and goes on for eleven days. The main users and stockpilers won't be there. Britain is one of the countries lobbying for the exclusion of some cluster bombs from the ban. "Cluster munitions open in mid-air and scatter as many as several hundred "bomblets" over wide areas. They often fail to explode, creating virtual mine fields that can kill or injure anyone who comes across them." Lebanon's War with Cluster Bombs

I never ever I forget my story. My face is no sad, but inside I am sad. thats almost exactly what i hear...except i thought it was some bum come for my eyes and bomb makes much more sense!! it always made me think of Pirates of the carribbean, when that guys eye rolls out then he forks another one...idk....and i also thought it was "cant walk like cat got my legs" which also makes no sense...my mind is a strange place to live...but like mika says "it makes perfect sense cause theres no sense at all" (or something like that i dont have the exact quote in front of me right now)
sienna Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Ah, thank you, how nice to meet you here. Isn't the internet amazing. Like a tea party and reference library, where you can smoke and eat and drink if you like, with friends dozing off in corners. Oh, I have never thought about the net or rather this forum in that almoust poethical way before! Love it! This is what I painted. I spend a long time looking at your pictures! Fascinating!
mgpm Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Blue Grey, I love your work. Beautiful stuff. I hear Raffa on "Any Other World" and feel her deep sorrow, but then I see her on the "Grace Kelly" vid and hope that she has happiness too. She seems so jubilant there! It's also touching to me that Mika included her in his first project. 1
blue grey Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Thank you. Relax - a masterpiece. Raffa, just look at what life has thrown at her yet she's fully engaged with the whole living living living The trouble usually just comes down to some bastards doing their thing. There are so many of them about, so many bastards doing their thing one way or another blasting their imperfect visions across our horizons say goodbye play the part of a lonely lonely heart say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in.
Ankmet20 Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 I absolutly love the song Any other world..it just is so incredible. Musically, it is astounding, what with the deep melodies and uplifting bits combined with Mika's unique voice and sound, and then you get this orchestra in the background combined with harmonies and choir later on. and then the meaning, just wow. and actually including her story, a true, real story, just gives the song this incredible passion and reality. amazing.
yogabear90 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 i always thought it was "i can't talk, like cat in my neck" but that never made much sense to me!!! lol.
