Melisanda Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Wonder Overrated would be reproduced as a love song ...then I always thought Overrated is a love song,also Intoxicated sure.... overrated.. more like the fear that the one you care for/about/are in love with won't love you when discovers more things about you/the"real" you or watever... more like a "fear song" oh god, real love is when you know someone....different sides of the person. I love you for things and I love you in spite of things...but maybe with all your colours I love you really cause they make you "you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melisanda Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 and yes, overrated is a pearl, already, like all Mika's demos...cause of the raw emotions on them.... will see what happens with "overrated" on tool....guess with me will be like in "falling"-"ISY" case....I treat these songs a bit separately but love them both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofi_4 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 sure.... overrated.. more like the fear that the one you care for/about/are in love with won't love you when discovers more things about you/the"real" you or watever... more like a "fear song" oh god, real love is when you know someone....different sides of the person. I love you for things and I love you in spite of things...but maybe with all your colours I love you really cause they make you "you" I always saw this song from the other side, not like they won't love you anymore if they know everything about you, but more like you want to be the best for them and not "disappoint" them when they know your flaws I don't know... still, beautiful song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingkites Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Anyone else notice Underwater will be included twice? :mf_rosetinted: mikasounds MIKA sure @Charlie__Rbt some song titles; Make You Happy, Underwater, Kill Me On The Dancefloor, Underwater, Overrated, China Boy... This cracked me up too. I was so happy to see all these tweets about the new album, it's so exciting! It makes me feel like it's going to be released soon and that's definitely a good thing, but at the same time getting all these small teaseful bits of information is agonizing.

Ellenowl Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Overrated- whatta song! I don't even know what it's about, it's just like an explosion of emotion. Maybe it is just like grace Kelly. 'why dont you like me?' 'would you hate me?' Overrated almost brings me to tears with the 'in this perfect place' bit. It really is perfect. I would love mika to release it onto iTunes but not on TOOL, it is not called a NEW album for nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I would love mika to release it onto iTunes but not on TOOL, it is not called a NEW album for nothing! It's interesting that Mika said he gave himself a timeline for writing songs for LICM (i.e. he did not use songs he had written previously) but for TBWKTM and TOOL he used old songs. I think Overrated is too good to let die and too good to record all at the same time. I doubt I will prefer the recording (or even like it) but I am really looking forward to hearing it live - finally! I actually don't care too much for the demos. Don't think I've listened to most of them in 4+ years. But this was always a favourite song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DongDong Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 from Mika on twitter Too much info so it's easier for me to write them all down - "in the final phase of finishing the album. one week in london then off to the states for 2 weeks, and then... final mix starts" - "now wondering if Nick Littlemore will get in from Sydney for our session tomorrow. the final session with Nick to finish up what we've done!" - Album before July - Album all in English and a couple of extra songs in French - Name: The Origin of Love - Some song titles: Make You Happy, Underwater, Kill Me On The Dancefloor, Overrated, China Boy - "favourite song title from the new record.... Love You When I'm Drunk" Wow,the titles of the new album are awesome!!!!:thumb_yello:And I really looking forward the song"China Boy",what would it like??!!:teehee:I love this title!!!('cause I'm a boy from China,and that would be a special song for me!!!.)

DerMoment1608 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 @mikasounds: In the studio with nick littlemore. Paul Steel is tired. Dunno if he had used the Marimba for a Mika-Song or if it is lying there for other reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Dunno if he had used the Marimba for a Mika-Song or if it is lying there for other reasons. I hope it's on one of the songs - I think the marimba has a great sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
