sunshine931 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 it is also on our version (probably same as US version) and i do just like you deb skip skip skip! last time i said that, this almost happened to me Yep the Canadian version is the same as the US version (I got both), except the CD itself doesn't look the same... it's like "non-colored" (u know like just the shine of the CD) where it's white on the Canadian version... don't know if I make sense lol... But yeah Erase is a regular track on it and I'm with Guylaine and Debs, don't care much for it. I just don't think it fits in with the rest of the album and it just doesn't seem like it's "him" to me... Now please don't kill me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Erase, it's not one of my favorites but I think it's a great song. The first time I heard it I didn't think much of it but then I loved it.

Oakie Doke Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I'm sure it's still a "bonus track" because it's not on all editions of the album. Like Ring Ring is a bonus track, because it's not on the continental europe edition. What does it say on the back of your cd? Is Ring Ring a bonus track, at least?

Tayler Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 erase makes me sad but its a good song. i like over my shoulder , but i don't know what song is my favourite......

crisisover Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 hey cheers for some fab answers... it seems apart from an illegal download the only way i could get it ehre in aus is to get it online... anyhoo, i think it is a great song, yes it's (very) different to a lot of the funtabulous pop but the words are incredibly spine-tingly powerful...

Christine Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 This song is just not Mika IMO. Sounds like something he might write for another artist, not himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I'm sure it's still a "bonus track" because it's not on all editions of the album. Like Ring Ring is a bonus track, because it's not on the continental europe edition. What does it say on the back of your cd? Is Ring Ring a bonus track, at least? Erase is not a bonus track, because it is a regular track on the US version of the album, as is Ring Ring. The US version has 12 tracks. The UK version of the album only has 10 regular tracks. (WHY do I own so many versions of the same album? I have never done that before in my life! I must be ) On the various US versions of LiCM motion, I have extra tracks that ARE actually called bonus tracks. For example, on one version, I have an acoustic Love Today and Satellite. On another, I have an acoustic version of Billy Brown and My Interpretation. Those tracks are *in addition to* all the other regular tracks listed, so they are truly "bonus." Over My Shoulder is called a "hidden" track because it's not listed on the CD cover at all. As FD pointed out elsewhere in the thread, there's a whole discography thread that details all the different version of the album, as well as all the singles. http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6396&highlight=discography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*LEON* Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Erase was a bonus track on the US and Japanese LiCM Yes, that´s why I ordered the US version of the album:) I totally love ´Erase´. He really should perform it live some time - I can still see myself singing along to it loudly everyday some time ago. It´s a very powerful song, with amazing vocals and recognizable lyrics. You should really try and get the song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico_collard Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 i don't think it's a cover...... it's ( apparently) on the japanese cd of LICM, but my mum read somewhere that he doesn't like to sing it because it upsets him. It is on the Japanese version of LICM... I don't think they got Over My Shoulder (lucky them)... I've never heard that said about Erase.. then again, I don't really like the song... HK: Yes, that makes you a horrible fan .. just like one of the Aussies isn't a good fan cause she occasionally makes fun of Mika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nico_collard Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Sorry Rose, I'm with Deb.

alice.loves.mika Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Erase It has to be among my favourite songs. I've played it quite a lot - according to Itunes And Mika doesn't sing it because it makes him upset??? really? Oww! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn Mastin Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 i don't think it's a cover...... it's ( apparently) on the japanese cd of LICM, but my mum read somewhere that he doesn't like to sing it because it upsets him. I always thought it was Mika's song, not a cover. It's a beautiful song, but if it upsets him to sing it, that's very sad. Maybe it reminds him of a failed love affair. Maybe someone dumped him. Whoever it was, they must have been completely nuts! And I bet the're sorry now!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisisover Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 i've been listening to it a bit lately, it's certainly a very powerful song. sure it's no pop-tastic fun bag but wow, it does grab you with it's emotion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkfakecheez Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 For the record, I like it, but thought it was something like a demo (i.e. Not to be discussed, shared, etc.) when I realized it wasn't on the album (UK) and took it off my computer. If it brings back bad feelings, then I won't download it again. That's probably an example of how songwriting and/or singing a song can backfire. Normally it's done to heal a wound, but in this case it probably opened it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
