silver Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 i think it's bloody brilliant and not out of key. anyone's worked on transcribing the lyrics yet..' they sounded quite "interesting".. Several versions of lyrics towards beginning of thread. I still think he's off-key in places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Quite a way to go then I'll be happy if we can just get to "tolerate". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauruslady Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I still get shivers when I listen, and I have it on my ipod already:wub2: from the little I've read, is it not going down to well?! I think its really good, and when his voice goes a bit crazy in it, I just like it more:wub2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its really good, and when his voice goes a bit crazy in it, I just like it more:wub2: Lots of people love it, think it's beautiful, and think it's genius/a brilliant piece of work. Others are not a fan of it at all and especially don't like the chorus. Some are borderline with the lyrics. So there are very mixed reviews. I personally think with what we have, the video/mp3 recording, it's hard to say anything for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'd love to do a poll on the demographics here. My casual observation is that non native English speakers like this, as do people under the age of 25. Us anglophone oldlings think it's rubbish. Maybe Marilyn being the exception...?

nico_collard Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I love the new song 'Rain', but my son calls it 'PAIN', because he says that's what Mika sounds like when he sings it.I think I need some Mika-love from the MFC, to make up for my son's dissing of Mika's wonderful voice and his songwriting skills OMG! That's true! I'll be happy if we can just get to "tolerate". I could live with tolerate... I still get shivers when I listen, and I have it on my ipod already:wub2: from the little I've read, is it not going down to well?! I think its really good, and when his voice goes a bit crazy in it, I just like it more:wub2: I wouldn't say that... there are a lot more people who like it than don't... just that the don't like it people are being a bit vocal at the moment... Others are appalled and especially don't like the chorus. Saying we're appalled is a bit over the top though... I'm not appalled by it, I just don't like it...

AKateisaKate Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 I still think I'm perfectly capable of independently understanding this song. Saying we're appalled is a bit over the top though... I'm not appalled by it, I just don't like it... Yeah, appalled probably isn't the right word. But I wasn't trying to mean that in an over-the-top way. It just wasn't quite the right word. Apologies!

Apologies! No need to apologise... I'm sure there are some people who might be appalled by it... I really hope what I dislike about the song is only cause it's live and that it improves when it's done in the studio... same with HMDYLM... though I tolerate it now... took absolutely forever to get to that stage...

I will give Mika this...he writes a hook (good or bad) and you end up singing it all day. Then you end up thinking you like it. And I could swear he sings Will it rain and rain and rain and rain....

avoca Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I like the tune and I like his voice in it. a lot. I understand there are people who don't like it. not all of us like the same things. there's nothing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My casual observation is that non native English speakers like this, as do people under the age of 25. Us anglophone oldlings think it's rubbish. Maybe Marilyn being the exception...? Well I think it's the kind of song that you just can't get out of your head. I do agree with some of the things said, about how the song could be improved, such as, not singing it quite so high, and maybe for him not to sing so many "Let it rain" bits. But it is a song that gets to you, and that's what a song should do. It has great potantial, and I'm sure it will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ada692 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 it's beautiful!!! I think it's beautiful too. The only thing I may not like about the new song is a bit too much falsetto in the chorus. But I hope Mika knows, what he does, also with lyrics, which everyone seems be to complaining about. The song is very emotional, quite catchy too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
