suzie Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I guess it will become my favourite Mika songs ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OGyB99VL-0 and the song is dedicated to... [YOUTUBE]rjsuznSFJFs&feature=plcp[/YOUTUBE] The music is playful yet complex and I do believe it will be seen as one of the best pop tracks of this decade. I love how simple, yet witty and meaningful the lyrics are, daring to touch a subject that rarely gets into pop songs, especially in such clever way. I tend to dislike comparing songs to each other but for me, the first songs that come to my mind in relation to TOOL is 'All You Need is Love' in the sound of the chorus and 'Supreme' by Robbie in its use of grotesque lyrics. And there is also some early Erasure and Yazoo sound I can hear , making it a perfect, uplifting pop record with the extra 'Latin' chant thrown in to take addiction to a spiritual level. It's perfect I can't wait to hear the album version, as well as some orchestal performance of it with a choir if possible. NOTE: above comments were based on the live version as heard in at the summer festivals. I like the recorded one as well, just wanted to make this clear... Lyrics : The Origin of Love Love is a drug and you are my cigarette Love is addiction and you are my Nicorette Love is a drug, like chocolate, like cigarettes I'm feeling sick I got to medicate myself I want your love don't try to stop me Can't get enough, still hanging on me Your guilty heart don't let it break you And if you pray well no one's gonna save you Like everyone that you fear and everything you hold dear Even the book in your pocket You are the sun and the light you are the freedom I fight God will do nothing to stop it The origin is you You're the origin of love Love is a drug and you are my cigarette Love is addiction and you are my Nicorette Love is a drug, like chocolate, like cigarettes I'm feeling sick I've got to medicate myself Well if god is a priest and the devil a slut There's a reason for nothing Like every word that you preach Like every word that you teach With every rule that you breach You know the origin is you From the air I breathe to the love I need Only thing I know you're the origin of love From the god above to the one I love Only thing that's true the origin is you x 2 padre nostrum deus machismo padre deus deus machismo dio è madre deus machismo deus esso santo spirito or: dio sessus santo sprito a mix of Spanish, Italian and Latin but he did confirm it was, acoustic version: Padre deus, deus machismo Madre deus, deus machismo dio è madre deus machismo deus sesso santo spirito Like stupid Adam and Eve they found their love in a tree God didn't think they deserved it He taught them hate taught them pride Gave them a leaf made them hide Let's push their stories aside You know the origin is you From the air I breathe to the love I need Only thing I know is you're the origin of love From the god above to the one I love Only thing that's true the origin is you x 2 You're the origin of love Some love’s a pill and some love is a candy cane It tastes so sweet but leaves you feeling sick with pain Your love is air I breathe it in around me Don't know it's there but without it I'm drowning Love, you're the origin of love Thank god that you found me Thank god that you found me Love!

crazyaboutmika Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I think it's time we started a thread on the new song The Original of Love.I found this great recording on YT (Thanks to LaraMay) [YOUTUBE]3OGyB99VL-0&feature=plcp[/YOUTUBE] I don't have time to write much more but I think it is a great song and this one truely deserves to be called 'AMAZING' .

Christine Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Here's what I've got so far. Some things don't quite make sense. He gets a bit excited towards the end. I have to get to work but maybe someone else can clarify/fill in the gaps. I didn't care for this at first but Lara's video is fantastic quality so it's a lot better than my first impression. Some of the lyrics grate a little bit but some of them are quite good I think. Especially the part about Adam and Eve. The Origin of Love From the air I breathe to the love I need Only thing I know is you're the origin of love From the god above to the one I love Only thing that's true the origin is you x 2 Love is a drug and you are my cigarette Love is addiction and you are my Nicorette Love is a drug, my chocolate, my cigarette I feel sick got to medicate myself I want your love don't try to stop me Can't get enough, still hanging on (?) me Your guilty heart don't let it break you And if you pray well no one's gonna save you I gave you all that you feel and everything you hold dear If you feel broken and... You are the sun and the light you are the freedom I fight God (?) will do nothing to stop The origin is you You're the origin of love Love is a drug and you are my cigarette Love is addiction and you are my Nicorette Love is a drug, like chocolate, like cigarette I'm feeling sick got to medicate myself Well if god is a priest and the devil is hell There's a reason for love Like every word that you preach like every ? that you teach And every rule that you breach You know the origin is you From the air I breathe to the love I need Only thing I know is you're the origin of love From the god above to the one I love Only thing that's true the origin is you x 2 Used to be Adam and Eve they found their love in a tree God didn't think they deserved it He taught them hate taught them pride Gave them a leaf made them hide Switched (?) their stories aside You know the origin is you From the air I breathe to the love I need Only thing I know is you're the origin of love From the god above to the one I love Only thing that's true the origin is you x 2 Some love is pain, some love is a candy cane Tastes so sweet but leave you feel sick ? pain Your love is air I breathe it in and out dear You're always there... Love, you're the origin of love You're the origin of love You're the origin of love love love love Thank god that you found me Thank god that you found me Thank god that you found me From the air I breathe to the love I need Only thing I know is that you're the origin of love From the god above to the one I love Only thing that's true the origin is you x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basicamenteyo Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 For a strange reason when I´ve listened to this song just few minutes ago, something in my mind said: "This is Mika... he´s back!" I like the song. As if it were what I was expecting from him. I still like Karen most, but this is the kind of songs I like from him... I´m happy....

Addicted.to.Music Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I love this new song to bits!! I can`t wait for the video (I mean, I hope there will be a video for this one, but since it`s the song that gives the name of the album I doubt there won`t be) !!
