dcdeb Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 OK, based on this new video, I'm fairly confident in these lyrics now -- except that one line after "port of my call"... Bursting in a blood red sky A slow landslide and the world we leave behind there's a way to lose your head and disappear and not return again... When I fall to my feet Wearin' my heart on my sleeve All I see just amazes You are the port of my call You shot and leavin' me raw (?) Now I know you're amazing 'Cause all I need Is the love you breathe put your lips on me and I can live under water, under water, under water! Under water! Bursting with a bright blue sky A slow landslide and the world I've left behind there's a way to lose your head and disappear and not return again When I fall to my feet Wearin' my heart on my sleeve All I see just amazes You are the port of my call You shot and leavin' me raw (?) Now I know you're amazing 'Cause all I need Is the love you breathe Put your lips on me and I can live under water, under water, under water! Under water! Bursting with a blood red sky A slow landslide and the world I've left behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) can we have the lyrics in first post Deb? thanks! LOL! You posted this as I was reposting the lyrics! Do we think alike, or what? OK, copying them there. Also, meant to mention, as I didn't see it in this thread, just in the gig thread... At the beginning of idiviki's video, when he says he wrote this song in Montreal, he says something afterward that's hard to hear. Apparently, as some Korean fan noted (forget who, sorry) he says he wrote this "with Empire of the Sun". So THAT'S what he was doing with them!

Bursting with a blood red sky A slow landslide and the world I've left behind Thank you so much Deb for all the work you put into figuring out the text :thumb_yello:. May I say that I hear wrong instead of raw ( and in German translation it would make more sence with the next sentence ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 It could be "you shot and leaving me raw"... even in this latest, very high quality video it's still not that easy to make out. But I think I got everything else right! Wouldn't it be grammatically more correct if the line went ' Your .......... leaving me raw' ? (something consisting of 2 syllables like shelter or any other noun?) Can't think of what though, to make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DongDong Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Seoul Korea MFCers were the first ones to hear "live" Mika's new song called "Under Water" [YOUTUBE]-YQuql7l6PU&feature=youtu.be[/YOUTUBE] Let's discuss! did he say he wrote it when he was in Montreal???? MONTREAL? -------------------------------- ETA Lyrics -- just unsure about that one line... Bursting in a blood red sky A slow landslide and the world we leave behind there's a way to lose your head and disappear and not return again... When I fall to my feet Wearin' my heart on my sleeve All I see just amazes You are the port of my call You shot and leavin' me raw (?) Now I know you're amazing 'Cause all I need Is the love you breathe put your lips on me and I can live under water, under water, under water! Under water! Bursting with a bright blue sky A slow landslide and the world I've left behind there's a way to lose your head and disappear and not return again When I fall to my feet Wearin' my heart on my sleeve All I see just amazes You are the port of my call You shot and leavin' me raw (?) Now I know you're amazing 'Cause all I need Is the love you breathe Put your lips on me and I can live under water, under water, under water! Under water! Bursting with a blood red sky A slow landslide and the world I've left behind wow,I love this song!!!!The lyrics are beautiful!!:wub2:But I called this song for "Underware" all day long today!!!!

No-one heard it on any of the videos though, so it might have been just the automatic conclusion of fans because he said he wrote that in Montreal.

There's something in there that I just can't hear. His voice goes a little too low at that point and it's just not intelligible. No-one heard it on any of the videos though, so it might have been just the automatic conclusion of fans because he said he wrote that in Montreal. No, I can hear it on idiviki's video now that I know to listen for it. It gets a little drowned out by crowd noise, but you can definitely hear him say, "I wrote this song in Montreal... with... Empire of the Sun..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 It sounds like "your shudder leaving me raw", but I know he made the shot sign with his hand in the other video so I have no idea. None of the guesses make any sense to me, but I guess it's another "fork out my daylight". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itgets a little drowned out by crowd noise, but you can definitely hear him say, "I wrote this song in Montreal... with... Empire of the Sun..." ok, I take it as confirmed then :theehee: Suzie, I don't think I've ever read a better summation of the way in which we interact with music and lyrics depending on our own influences Thanks, I'll save it so that I don't forget I think I prefer not to understand what he sings, otherwise it sounds strange... Is your example based on EMD only? I've been racking my brain trying to think what the opening bars reminded me of........and it's this!! Yes. Not exactly the same of course but similar way the melody goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 "Fall to my feet" still sounds wrong. You can fall on your feet, but not to them. What if it is originally 'fall to my knees' he just mixed it up like the he did with the personal pronouns in Rain in January, when instead of 'you' he accidentally said 'I' when singing about that man someone found. ... I know -- "you shot and leaving me raw" makes no sense. There's somethingin there that I just can't hear. His voice goes a little too low at that point and it's just not intelligible. If it does end with ' and leaving me raw' , wouldn't 'shout' sound better? It sounds like "your shudder leaving me raw", but I know he made the shot sign with his hand in the other video so I have no idea. None of the guesses make any sense to me, but I guess it's another "fork out my daylight". You mean something 'archaic' again? I cannot see any shot sign when he sings this part though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyaboutmika Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 [/color] On dit bien "retomber sur ses pieds" ...ou ses pattes pour les chats http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/retomber_sur_ses_pieds C'est à cette expression que je pensais..

Lady Mika Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I cannot see any shot sign when he sings this part though [YOUTUBE]XOHEWwSeNZY[/YOUTUBE] here,at 1.35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menthe Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 The first of the new songs I like immediately. The melody is beautiful (like in HE) and the chorus very powerful. It's true that there is something Robby William's like in the beginning, but the chorus, especially "the love you breathe..." has something from the 70's in it. Could it be " leaving me row" ??

Miss.roxy Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Words can´t describe how much I love the song. I only heard it once so far. And I can´t stop singing it! ONCE! Mika, you´re a freaking golden genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 here,at 1.35 Thank you! I can see it now. The first of the new songs I like immediately. It seems most people have been amazed the same way by it, so it is definitely a good sign. The melody is beautiful (like in HE) and the chorus very powerful. Funny, I was thinking about comparing it to HE this morning. Not in the style it was written in but it is such a beautiful, uplifting and almost anthemic song, isn't it. It's true that there is something Robby William's like in the beginning, but the chorus, especially "the love you breathe..." has something from the 70's in it. yes, no real resemblance the 'RtM', just the idea, and the part 'Cause all I need Is the love you breathe' also reminds me of some song but I can't figure out what it is. It is more the structure of it rather than the melody though. I also love the way he uses with 'amazes' and 'amazing' in the chorus. In general I can't stand when one uses 'amazing' to describe everything and actually, when I saw iMMa tweet this word earlier this week (can't remember the context) I was even slightly annoyed how she could have not thought of a better word ... but the way it is used in this song gets from me. In fact, it is partly why I love the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 It's a pity about the people talking over when he's singing like that, They are not talking over his singing.

Bursting with a blood red sky A slow landslide and the world I've left behind After seeing the high quality vid and dubble checked it I am sure these are the right lyrics. Thank you so much for doing this for us. Love the way he sings it, love the vurnability. Can't wait for his cd I think it will be a white elephant in comparissement with the mainstream today (with exception of Adele). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
