Laurel Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Personally I think it is an international tragedy of epic proportions if he never releases HMDYLM. I have to admit that having spent a couple of years listening to HJ I am about fed up of it but I don't think I will ever tire of HMDYLM. I was so looking forward to hearing a studio version as I thought it would sound SO different to the live recording. 100% agree Love love love it ....

tiibet Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Ok, I meant the lyrics of I'm F.. fitting what was exlained in the article about the content of I See You. And Yes, my other favourite is O.*runs away* I love I'm F... I think I would just cry if I ever heard it live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Yes, my other favourite is O.*runs away* It seems even moreso now based on the German article doesn't it? I think Caz is right that it's probably the same situation.

racinghorse83 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Mika said 'no' when Laurel asked him at iTunes. :crybaby: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 This is the video where I asked him about HMDYLM He did say maybe - you never know - at the end of it ... I think he was asked about HJ at Itunes too Two minds think alike on those songs .... still really hope he does them He also told me in Brussels that he wouldn't play Lonely Alcoholic live. His response, just like here, was a curt "no." But then, as he was walking away, he said "maybe in London" - just like his "maybe, you never know" about How Much Do You Love Me. So there is hope!! Personally I think it is an international tragedy of epic proportions if he never releases HMDYLM. I have to admit that having spent a couple of years listening to HJ I am about fed up of it but I don't think I will ever tire of HMDYLM. I was so looking forward to hearing a studio version as I thought it would sound SO different to the live recording. I totally agree. That song live was enchanting, and I'm still quite grr that it didn't make it onto either of the DVDs. At least a proper live recording would help dull the sting of him not recording it. I don't know why he's rejecting it so much. It's one of my favourites. As for the demos, I think there's a lot of underground love for Overrated. Mika'd probably pee himself if he knew just how much love there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika'd probably pee himself if he knew just how much love there is. It's one of those songs that makes cry His voice is just so beautiful. I actually never loved OMS so much, but then I heard it in Berlin and I realized how beautiful it is. Wow. Love Lady Jane even more but OMS is now one of my favorites. I hope we can hear I'm Falling or Overrated some day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 But I'm Falling is hauntingly beautiful and I cannot understand why he won't record it properly I am with you on this ...sometimes I wish we could somehow 'push' him into recording it without being too direct or offensive.

suzie Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 .... Actually I came across a live performance of HMDYLM yesterday ( I think it was from a concert in Toronto) and he announced the song as one from the next album... ...So he obviously intended it to be there but probably the other ones he wrote later turned out to be stronger / more fitting to the album concept than this one...

suzie Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Least I have some good MP3's of it .... thank god for YT And special thanks to the fans who not only do their best to record it in good quality but also upload these on YT and share it with all the other fans:thumb_yello: I do appreciate their effort, especially from the first couple of rows, as it must be extremely difficult to do a proper recording and enjoy the show at the same time... In Berlin I only tried to take some photos, but could not really do good ones because you just want to enjoy every minute of the show - including singing, waving, clapping, bouncing...etc - and also, when he comes close and looks at you/ your direction, you suddently feel silly with the camera in your hand... I mean I do, so with the recordings I strongly rely on fans who have already mastered this art:biggrin2: ..So thanks for them:thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not..we'll just have to whine just as long until he will give in:biggrin2: Oh and: :lmfao:Totally. I can't imagine his reaction if he knew it. I really love it too though, I think that, together with Erase and Happy Ending sometimes, is the only Mikasong that can make me cry. I don't get all the fuss about I'm Falling though. IMO it's just okay. ....

Yeah. But it does fit with the whole concept IMO. IT TOTALLY DOES FIT! Maybe he didn't want 2synth/80s inspired songs on it? Of is that a really stupid thought? Maybe he thought Rain and HMDYLM were too similar? Okay, nevermind, that doesn't even make sense:bleh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
