Make You Happy - Song and Lyrics Discussion


Recommended Posts

It sounds great on a proper sound system compared to playing the yt video through my phone which quite frankly sounds nasty.

I love the film, it fits it perfectly. Tim even likes the song which really says something as he is not Mika's biggest fan:naughty: I think the song will do really well and hopefully change his image in this country. Well done Mika :mikadas: (I didn't know we had these, I like this one)

My initial reaction was alienation. I had nothing to relate to emotionally because I'm not in that place and cannot remember ever being there. I probably was, but I'm old now :naughty:

 

I gave it a second listen and totally got it musically. I still can't relate, but I enjoy it so much musically because it reminds me of the music I listened to when I was young, but sounds completely fresh.

 

I was really hoping somebody would do something like this, but I never expected it to be Mika. Should have known it would be. He keeps fulfilling my musical fantasies.

 

I really wasn't looking forward to the album because I have no use for love songs, but if it's going to be this musically engaging all the way through, I really cannot wait to hear it.

 

Keeping my excitement low-key because I don't know how long I will have to wait, but definitely getting excited. He surprised me again:punk:

WHAT A NEWS :shocked:

I don't know if i need to be worried, if is an accident, a marketing strategy or what but I'm SO HAPPY (if Mika has no damages from that)...!

Hope is ok for him...usually is not a great thing to have song and video released before the official date...:blink:

 

Anyway I like the video very much...I think Mika and Andy did an amazing job cause you can FEEL what the song says through images! It's wonderful!

 

About the song I need to re-listen it (and I will...like...in loop mode) but I like it! Is a really sweet song (haven't read the lyric yet so please bare with my language barrier) and it scares me a bit cause usually Mika isnt so sweet...seems also "commercial" with the sound effects and stuff but I like it very much!

 

Ok...someone stops me! I'm EXCITED :mikasweat::mikalove:

Oh I love the "if I said I'm upbeat I'd be lying" line. I really hope that IS what he says or I'll look like an arse.

 

I'm shocked to see it being released like this though, it all seems a bit accidental to me. And to be honest I wasn't expecting a change this dramatic in his music.

 

That being said I love this song to bits. I'm not sure about the synthesizer voice but otherwise it's like a breath of fresh air. It's going to be interesting to see how these new songs will be included to his setlists. I seriously can't see Mika playing something like I See You right before this one. :aah:

 

ME TOOOOO!!!! :excite: :excite: :excite: :excite:

 

and the end bit, in the high voice being repeated :wub2:

It's a voice created by a synthesizer,and then Mika,and then that voice again and again,and then Mika,and......:aah::aah::aah:

 

Right, I have very mixed feeling atm :dunno:

But to be honest, I've been expecting something like that after listening to Gang Bang.:blink:

The chorus is a bit haotic Imo, except at the end :aah:

I love the vid and somehow I'm sure I'm gonna adore the song eventually:naughty:

I love that song, it truly makes me happy :woot_jump:

It sounds like a hit in English that could bring Mika back to the top and TOOL too :biggrin2:

For those who think it is different, well it is but I believe all songs of the album wil sound different , so fans can have also Underwater and Overrated there and jumpy tunes as "Make you happy" that could be a summer hit everywhere , just as Elle Me Dit was and bring lots of new fans to Mika :woot_jump:

I'm all for that song and the feeling I get from it is that Mika's happy and in love :wub2: so I feel good vibes there :woot_jump:

Becks ‏@LadyMeeks

@mikasounds de fan a artista... no me gusta Gang Bang. Espero que tu disco sea mejor... confío en ti.

 

MIKA official ‏@mikasounds

@LadyMeeks my new records are very different, but I think where she took it is interesting

If you judge the powerfullness of a song by how many times you have to listened to it before it get stuck in your head. This is a very powerful song as it got stuck in my head after 2 listenings.

As far as I've been able to tell, his albums all tell a story, from start to finish. This song is NOT meant to be a single. This is like, what if Dr John was leaked before we'd heard anything else? It would be just as polarizing. We're not getting context here, even though it's a good song, and has a gorgeous short film to go with it.

 

I rather like it, even with its' differences from what he's done in the past.
