suzie Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I find the songs on the albums tend to be like political factions. I keep changing my alliances I know what you mean:wink2:.. It was same with me about LICM as well. I just couldn't choose a favourite and I kept changing my mind about which one I appreciate more on a weekly or even daily basis. In a way, it is still happening, depending on a live version of a song I might hear at a gig..... But it is a good thing that most of us would agree there is no 'weak' song on the album. There are songs some of us might not like so much, but basically, almost all could pass as a single. And that is very very promising if we think about the possible reception of the album by the general public:thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will ask me my favourite song on LICM and I'll say "Ring Ri-no, wait-Any Other Wor-but, wait, I love Relax, then again there's My Interpr--- I DUNNO!

Rain Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 What's wrong with me? Touches You is the song I like the least in the album. Guess I have to listen to it again! HELP?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frog.teerez Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 where I can listen the whole song, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodes100 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I have a quuestion that i can't find the answer to here or that it has been mentioned here: Towards the end at 2:32 minutes through the song is Mika singing "It isn't a perfect love What are we guilty of What am I suppose to do Can't seem to leave you alone" etc etc Then he sings it again. has anybody else picked up on this. I don't see it in the lyrics on page one of this thread. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodes100 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 where I can listen the whole song, please? http://www.imeem.com/ It is suppose to be for U.S. citizens only - I think - but I am Canadian & I wasn't allowed to hear the whole album yesterday but I can today. Try it. It is worth a try. Good luck! The album is Wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heardf the new album today so everytime i play a different song that is my favourite until I hear the next song. But you guys made me realize that i still "sort of" do that with Life In Cartoon Motion." On both albums - to me - there are no weak songs. They are all great! I suppose I am just a bias Mika Fan!

Kasia_xxx Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I will be your father figure Put your tiny hand in mine I will be your preacher teacher Anything you have in mind I will be your father figure I have had enough of crime I will be the one who loves you Until the end of time I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too Never make you run for cover even if they want us to I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too I wanna be wanna be Whatever else that touches you I couldn't resist putting these two exerpts together! What do you guys think? I adore both the songs! And even the melody is quite similar, but obviously Touches You has a totally different vibe.

purplegrape Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Ok, just changed my mind. I definitely liked it before but I listened to it again a minute ago and fell in love!!! It's not my fav, cause I don't have one. I've favourited every song I've listened to tonight which I think is all of them. But I definitely love it more than I did yesterday And I agree Kasia, I definitely see the reseblence. I did the first time I heard the clip which is why I think I liked it so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) I couldn't resist putting these two exerpts together! What do you guys think? you should research the whole GM portfolio and add bits from other songs, like this one "I'm not your father I'm not your brother Talk to your sister I am a lover C-c-c-c-come on" or: "It could be the price of love Could the price of hate What am I guilty of Why do you make me wait" If you compare these songs on a semantical basis, you do find many other similarities because many GM lyrics focus on such topic and he uses similar language. Musically Touches You also evokes George Michael, but I really wouldn't fingerpoint on any particular song. It's like Rain has the Neil Tennant type of 'rap' insert in it and everything about that insert reminds you of the PSB. However, it is most definitely not a copy of any of their songs or spoken inserts... I just call it homage and a nice try:biggrin2: Edited September 19, 2009 by suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystica Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I love this song!! someone can tell me what he says at the beginning and at the end of the song... i've read the lyrics on the first page, but there isn't the first and the final part... thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me Touches You is genius in a sense that it's very difficult to write a song which in NOT plagiarism but evokes songs by other artists immediately!

RAK1 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Ah, Touches You, or as I now call it, The Song That Will Be The Death Of Me!:roftl: Not since Love Today, has a song been such a danger to me, and the general public, while I'm driving. It's so insanely catchy, my backside will NOT stay in the seat of my van, and I find my hands leaving the steering wheel, with alarming regularity! I wonder if other drivers think I'm having some kind of fit!!! I think I may have to start skipping it while driving, but can't bring myself to do it.
