Louiza Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 No worries! Ok people, While I was listening to this song for what must be like the 2000th time, I noticed something. At the start, when he explains that he wrote it for an acoustic setting ,bla bla, I think that he says: "I like this one of the most"....I know that this doesn't sound quite right, but I really think that this is what he says. Does anyone else hear that??? Just before he says that he just forgets it? i think i've heard "it's one of the songs i like the most" but i'm not 100% sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 i think i've heard "it's one of the songs i like the most" but i'm not 100% sure Yes, that is the feeling that I get from what he's saying: that this is one of his favourites, which makes me him even more because it's definitely my favourite. I still can't get over how good (and better than LICM and the other 'old songs') his new stuff is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't get over how good (and better than LICM and the other 'old songs') his new stuff is new stuff sounds even better than LICM which is something that i didnt think could be possible cant wait to hear the studio versions of these songs!!! i think toy boy must be the song in the beginning of the new music2 vlog with the orchestra and the disney influences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the ONE song that I feel will most certainly lose its magic once it's all produced and "done up" in the album. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sariflor Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I think he says, "I like this song a lot." Yes, I thought that initially as well, but what I now hear just doesn't fit with that . It sounds too long, and I clearly hear an 's' somewhere, or even the 'st' combination that would be in 'most' . It's driving me nuts:hair: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was simply nervous about how the audience was reacting... Also, as soon as he finished with the line: "Hold me in your arms I’m just a boy like you" he did not look up he did not even take a breath but started singing the next verse immediately so that the audience had no time to react on that particular sentence... ... but by the time he reached the 'barbie girl' part, I think he was pretty relaxed already:naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll always get to look forward to the acoustic version at these upcoming gigs:wub2: And I don't think it will lose anything.

I remember people saying that the orchestra will ruin everything and we won't hear how he will articulate words...etc, but I imagine it will be arranged more like Any Other World - the orchestra is quiet in most parts except in between verses&the chorus.

Yeah same here. And I imagine he'll be playing the piano version at probably all of the gigs unless he can manage to fit an entire orchestra on the stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well, I'm not trying to be pessimistic or even to convince anyone to see it the way I do, but it's just how I feel about songs in general. I've always been a sucker for the simple, preferably one instrument only + voice tracks, which is for example why one of my all time favourite recordings of Mika's voice is when he does Satellite just with a bit of guitar. Or why I absolutely adore the acoustic Relax that he did at the Fiat London Eye gig, or at the Jo Whiley Live Lounge. I can't help it. I ALWAYS prefer a simple (live) version of a song like that, than when it has a whole produced vibe, or when many instruments and effects are also in it. So yes, I'm sure that I will like the song, and I'm not trying to jump the gun here, but I'm also pretty sure already that I won't like it as much as I do the live version. Or as much as for example as I will like the produced version of BIOTG or GGG . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His voice on it is just :wub2: It really shows off his voice , I think again it's because it's mainly in his lower register. And I love the guitar accompaniment.

Ruth Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I hear, “This is one of the ones; it’s called Toy Boy: no-one’s heard, and it’s in A?

Do you think that he doesn't realise how much we love the sound of his voice and that he just loves to experiment with all these amazing sounds that he can now afford to add...kind of like a kid in a sweet shop... forgetting that we'd prefer it really simple so that we can hear the purity of his voice?
