Ankmet20 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Mkay I hear that, too, on one of the YouTube versions. I think it's clearer than the first MP3 rip that surfaced. In that case, do we think the second verse is: ----------------- Ohh, you'll wind up broken At the end of the round We'll find your spirit In the lost and found Oh I've been watching How you behave Not much like a lover More like a slave yeah listening to several youtube and the mp3 it just sounds like he slurred the your into "jour" or something but it makes sense to me, sick of crying from a broken heart... blueee eyes bluee eyes. whats the matter matter...getting to second verse... Your heart got broken? Just replayed it like 5 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 And I just have a few other little things I hear differently from Mana's version -- not saying I'm right, it's hard to make some of these phrases out: I'm not hearing the "tears on the right" bit - now I'm watching Sivan's video and watching his lips: I'm not sure about the second last line of the first verse. Think good woman? Think hard woman? I'm scratching my head on that one. It also looks like he's only saying one syllable before "sorrow is so peculiar". But come, sorrow doesn't make sense. Or does it? And, I agree about "won't find your spirit in a lost and found." yeah listening to several youtube and the mp3 it just sounds like he slurred the your into "jour" or something but it makes sense to me, sick of crying from a broken heart... . Hmm. Yeah, watching the vids, he's definitely doing his chicken/ticket slurring thing. getting to second verse... Your heart got broken? Just replayed it like 5 times. I'm not hearing "heart got" there. Watching his lips, they don't seem to move right for those hard consonant sounds...? Gahh! Mika, help us! I don't know why I'm obsessed with the lyrics to this song. Oh well. As long as I stay away from the Good Gone Girl lyrics thread. I could be up until sunrise trying to tackle that one.

I really am curious as to the lyrics of this song as well. there is something about this song calling to me O_o it sounds like "jour hah gah" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I'm not hearing the "tears on the right" bit - now I'm watching Sivan's video and watching his lips: I'm not sure about the second last line of the first verse. Think good woman? Think hard woman? I'm scratching my head on that one. Gaaah! Now I'm hearing "two years to the right"! It definitely sounds like right on the video I cited up above -- others, I just can't tell. And yeah, "think hard woman" makes sense, but the more I listen the less I'm sure... It also looks like he's only saying one syllable before "sorrow is so peculiar". But come, sorrow doesn't make sense. Or does it? Kinda. "Come, sorrow is so peculiar." I've been looking at it too long. And, I agree about "won't find your spirit in a lost and found." Gahh! Mika, help us! I don't know why I'm obsessed with the lyrics to this song. Oh well. As long as I stay away from the Good Gone Girl lyrics thread. I could be up until sunrise trying to tackle that one. Oh, that's a study in frustration -- I have parts of lines, but it's next to impossible to make out. Tomorrow. It's definitely bed time now!

Blue Eyes Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 ...So as this is my namesake (and it didn't already have it's own thread) I was just wondering if some lovely person would like to interpret the lyrics to this wonderfully uplifting new tune ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PwRrvG1r3c Not so much. ... ok *hides head under pillow* That was BEFORE I knew what the lyrics were lol. The music is rather jolly though - don't ya think?! I get "ohh you're heart is broken" at the beginning instead of Joanna YEP, me too ! I'm obsessed with this song now. It's like a giant nut that I must crack! Blue Eyes Ohh, your heart is broken To your surprise You're sick of crying For blue eyes So tired of living Misunderstood Think hard woman I think you should Come, sorrow is so peculiar It comes in a day, then it'll never leave you You take a pill, wonder if it will fix you They wonder why sorrow has never left you I'm talkin' bout blue eyes, blue eyes What's the matter, matter Blue eyes, blue eyes What's the matter matter so blind, so blind What's the matter, matter Blue eyes, blue eyes What's the matter with you?

mouselle Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) someone was saying that this song was a cover? is it true?? I have no reason to believe it's a cover. He didn't introduce it as one, and there's nothing online with similar lyrics. There are lots of other songs out there called Blue Eyes, though, maybe that's why people thought it was a cover. I could be wrong of course - but I'll be gutted if it turns out it is a cover. I'm in love with it. This song is not a cover. There was a confusion when we first knew that it was called 'Blue Eyes' as there is an older song (called Behind Blue Eyes) which Mika has covered, usually as tiny bits as part of the intro to Love Today.

AnnaMariaPetra Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) I like Mika's Blue Eyes better than Elton John's - even though I love most of Elton' songs from the 70s.. :wink2:Dutch band BZN with their Blue Eyes.......(also from the 70ies) Edited April 19, 2009 by AnnaMariaPetra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouselle Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hey Mouselle!! Long time no see! I really liked the tiny bit of Behind Blue Eyes that Mika sang. But this is NOT it. That was from The Who. Hi Blue Sky! I missed you! Hugs! Back are the days when Mika and MFC eat my life! Back to every spare moment being about Mika, and a fresh Mika soundtrack in my head. So good! I've just edited my post, because you're right, it was Behind Blue Eyes that he covered, not Blue Eyes. I loved it too, especially the once (that I know of) when he sang more of it than usual.
