suzie Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Maybe we'll get the video soon and the latin part will be more clear also.I can't wait for the recorded version,this song is really powerful and beautiful The problem is that it is a mix of Spanish and Latin, even within a phrase - probably so that he'll never have to explain what he is singing about. Besides, he sings it differently at times and the band's version is not reliable, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it somewhere that this is the pray which he used to say it in his childhood,so maybe he doesn't remember it very well either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't blame him and it's understandable why he is using that word in this context,at least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my thoughts, but he did say that... oh wait.... I fogot rule #1: NEVER TRUST WHAT MIKA HIMSELF SAYS Maybe in 5 years from now, he will tell us the truth... as he recently did with the song Billy Brown...

Christine Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Maybe in 5 years from now, he will tell us the truth... as he recently did with the song Billy Brown... And now he's saying that SITM is about his granny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basicamenteyo Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 And now he's saying that SITM is about his granny. Yes, that´s even worse, cause at least, the story about Billy Brown makes sense, but the one about his granny? I mean, yeah, ok, i get the bit about "I sit and think about the day that you´re gonna die", but apart from it... I can´t find the meaning But he also said that he used to make things up when he was asked about his lyrics, so... It´s just Mika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Maybe in 5 years from now, he will tell us the truth... as he recently did with the song Billy Brown... I think the lyrics are obvious so I don't really need any further explanation on them. Billy Brown is easy to understand, too, so whether it is about his ex teacher or his neighbour is irrelevant to me as I don't know that person. And now he's saying that SITM is about his granny. I think it is about his granny and mum fighting over HIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polysemia Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Does anybody think we can expect a live version of the "The origin of love" as a bonus track? The long version with modulations is so great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 @Polysemia I hope so. I remember how much I loved the acoustic version of We Are Golden and it was only a bonus track on the Jspanese edition. Someone posted link to TOOL on Amazon and it is described as a double CD Should that be true there is room for acoustic versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vixenbbw Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 [YOUTUBE]Nam4fzz47CM[/YOUTUBE] Clearest version of the acoustic performance:thumb_yello: Wow, that's a fab, close up vid! Watching him perform there reminds me of the early days when he used to look to Martin (and a little to the others) when he was feeling nervous when doing new songs, arrangements, etc. Like he's a) singing to the band and b) enticing them to join in so that he's not performing alone to the scary audience! Sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been only a mistake on Amazon though He has been talking about a double CD for France for a while I think.. I can't remember when and where but in my mind I always thought there could be 2 CDs in France (the second one being bonuses in French) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember when and where but in my mind I always thought there could be 2 CDs in France (the second one being bonuses in French) Thank you, Camille. It seems that there will be a standard album and a double CD with some French and English songs as well then. Although the standard album version may be different in France, too.

The long version with modulations is so great! As long as we're making wish lists, could I suggest a version with a full-blown symphony orchestra, a gospel choir and NO electronic stuff in it?

Just dreaming... I'd love to hear 2 version of it: one similar to what we heard already but with very limited distortion and only at the beginning ( otherwise the song doesn't 'come to life') and one like you explained already with a choir at the end.

krysady Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hope it has Elle Me Dit in English as well... That version is hilarious XD I think the english version of EMD is Emily and it will be on the album,since it was played at the listening sessions As long as we're making wish lists, could I suggest a version with a full-blown symphony orchestra, a gospel choir and NO electronic stuff in it?
