sariflor Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Well, ofcourse the underwear must be golden. Please nooooooooooooooooooo !!! The golden boxers and the golden Loboutins, singing into his hairbrush but why fighting? here, we all seem to truly like each other, as if being a Mika fan would make us forget all the differences and the fact that we barely know the other people That's really funny I am coming to the Argentinian gigs from now on instead of the home ones then . Believe me, you wouldn't be saying this if you'd witnessed half the asses that I have seen at Mika gigs, trying to f*ck other people over and just generally being assholes towards everyone. It's quite an eye opener, really. I'm in two minds about whether it'll appeal to teenagers- I think its more one for people looking back on their teens, which is what he's doing, I suppose, even if he's a lot nearer than me. The bit about "running around like a clown on purpose" rings a bell and makes the dreams... circus bit part of the whole. Otherwise I wouldn't be so keen. I've been singing it all day- hopefully not aloud- loving all the slowing up and shouting! I think the lyrics are interesting, but basically I find it such a rush- so exhilarating. I keep seeing myself headbanging to it, which is a worry (though probably incomprehensible to actual teens) I had to quote the bolded part because I think that you make a great point there. And yes, I have also caught myself singing the blooming thing all day dammit yeaaaaaaaahIt's hard to believe It's all hand-painted....It's so beautiful It is, I love it!!! I think that it's one of my favs so far. I love the space/sky theme. thanks.today i seem to like it a bit more:naughty: Oh Robi, you are falling already just like me . I think that I'm ahead though, I was falling yesterday so I will wait for you at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I believe that first when the songs go into production and they have to choose which ones to put on the album, people will start to give opinions what reception each of the new songs will get, and which would be a likely single or even a number one. My guess is that Universal was pretty happy that at least one of the 64 pieces he wrote had the quality of a mainstream radio-friendly song ....you know what? If I had been part of the record company team having a say in which song is to be released as the first single, I would have also chosen WAG, despite the fact that it is not in my Top 10 Mika songs ever.. ( I know it might sound like I view it from a business perspecive only, but I do like it, just in a different way: with no emotions attached. ...)

I know what you mean! Maybe this not the place to talk about it but I think that so far, on my own top list of Mika’s songs, SITM is a clear and outstanding favourite. I have been collecting many different versions of that song from different gigs and I never get tired to hear them. That song has, apart from the lyrics, which is a masterpiece in itself, so much variation in it, with his voice, the humming part and the endless ways he treats it on the piano! Just love it!

Moonlightchild Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Wow! Some of you actually think Mika Sold out with this - according to you - "audience friendly/ radio friendly," Mika has compromised, feel cheated about Mika abandoning us, - WTF??Are you Nuts????? I wouldn't expect everyone to like/love We Are Golden - But - Listen to yourselves - You are Not talking about the Mika that I & Millions of fans have come to like! Did you listen to the lyrics?? I happen to Love "We Are Golden" - I actually usually respect others for their variable viewpoints - but - that isn't what irks me about your critique. Listen to We Are Golden a few more times. Listen to the lyrics. Then return & get your heads out of your arses & actually critique it with some intelligence & Knowledge remembering who the Artist is!! I am sure I will get my Butt Kicked here for my view on the few of you who think Mika sold out - But - You Pi--ed me off!! I Love We Are Golden & my Congrats to Mika!! I can't wait for the Whole Album in September!! First of all,mind your language,you truly hurt my feelings. Second I sad it sounds too commercial to me, that's just an opinion and has noting to do with not being intelligent, I'm intelligent enough to give my opinion. than,I said it would be a good song to get his feet into America (what's wrong with that!) So you just think people are stupid and have their heads in...(no I'm not gonna quote that) because they are not excited about this song and because they have an opinion about it. With this post you, yourself don't sound that smart to me. And it's like someone else said here, just like her I'm over 30 and it doesn't do it for me. But, I have to say it's growing on me. BTW; I never said it's a bad song,I just said it was not what I expected it would be and I still think it's not his best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlightchild Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Everything that has been stated on this thread are people's feelings and opinions about a song. Nothing else. Music is something that you feel, you like or dislike, but this is not something that can be rationalised or logically explained. When you say that people should critique the song using "some intelligence and Knowledge" (why you capitalise random words including this one, I won't ever understand, but hey, each to their own) you are actually insulting a number of people, and that is not very nice to be honest. Incidentally, a sign of intelligence would also be to know what you can or cannot say to people, and in this case I believe that you've overstepped the mark. This was quite unnecessary, don't you think? We're just a bunch of fans giving our (subjective, as they would all be, this is not molecular biology after all) opinions, and everyone is bound to have different ones. As long as nobody is actually being offensive to anyone else, or to Mika, and stating these opinions respectfully, we should be fine. It's posts like these that threaten to throw the balance. agree:thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

identicaltwin3 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I can't stop listening to the Myspace version... I'm sure we will have to fight to get into the venue at the next tour. I wish I could -sulking again... Sleepless for some reason, I've seen the light at 5 in the morning -all great men, Napoleon, a Leo too, and Sire included have been insomniacs- and now I know why I don't much enjoy WAG : no melody to speak of .

Don't worry, love : f we didn't post off topic this wouldn't be the MFC . SITM lyrics are poignant, at the same time so loving, so bitter and so wistful... I bet there is one guy whose eyes are brimming whenever he listens to it. It's a beautiful love song, as touching as HMDYLM, in a different way of course . I myself am not partial to the jazzy piano part of it. It kind of ruins the magic . If you have got many versions of it -so have I- can you VM me which is/are your fave(s) ?
