Christine Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Is the melody from the Overrated demo used in the new song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Is the melody from the Overrated demo used in the new song? A little bit, yes. "Overrated... Overrated... Overrated in this g*ddamn world..." That bit. With a heavy, driving, almost Calvin-Harris-like dance beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaraMay Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm so happy that Love You When I'm Drunk is so insanely awesome With a title that amazing it needed to be I expected Overrated to sound like that actually, can you imagine Mika performing this song? I'm looking forward to seeing him perform these amazing songs live this fall and winter Popular really was inspired by Wicked the musical it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubitus Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 This damn album has exceeded every expectation I had ! I'm in LOVE with almost all the songs. My favourites are UNDERWATER !! TOOL ! LYWID , SWM , Heroes , Stardust , Lola. Honestly all of them ! My least favourites are Kids , Celebrate and Emily. And I love what he did with Overrated !

dcdeb Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 btw, i just noticed you can jump to the different songs by clicking on them in the picture. didn't notice that first. Oh, thanks for that -- I didn't realize it, either! I am a strong woman. Oh and I don't have access to YouTube. Well, that helps then. Overrated is everything I feared it would be, but that bit of Underwater sounds even more beautiful than during the live performances, and that includes the one where I was present Totally agree on Underwater -- it's perfection. And I don't mind Underwater this way -- as someone else said, I think it'll be great to see him perform it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mousetrap Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 What can I say....very pure electro-pop, album sounds very complete like these is nothing more to add! I suppose to love Stardust, Kids and Love You When I'm Drunk very, very much It's my choise of a day But I love all the other songs as well Perhaps Heroes is a bit boring for me, but all my hope about this song is for lyrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiibet Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 This is just TOO MUCH HAPPINESS Okay, he has ruined Overrated. I want to slap him too. But, Underwater is even more beautiful than it was, seriously :wub2: And Heroes is an amazing song, it will definitely be one of my favorites. And Love You When I'm Drunk is such a funny, silly, crazy song!! The album version for Lola is brilliant, but already knew that after Milan. Must love him, sigh.

mellody Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 i don't like overrated so far, but i'll wait for the full version to make a decision. maybe it's just because they only play the chorus and i know that line too well from the demo version so it sounds wrong to me. the more i listen to SWM in this version, the more i get used to it. i'm still sad about the loss of the faster version, but i love this one too. (btw, the abbreviation SWM reminds me of our local power supplyer, Stadtwerke München = SWM, swm.de ) about emily, i think the "dance with me emily" was louder in the milan version - it made me laugh, was really funny! that's not there anymore now, but i can understand that he didn't want people to start laughing when listening to his song. the new version of myh irritates me somehow - it doesn't sound as different as i had expected, still vocoding, just additional strings. and a different text, and that's what irritates me. it's like something you're used to and like, and then it's suddenly different. guess i'll have to get used to it first, like to the other version. i think i like stardust more than i liked it in milan. i definitely like kids more. heroes too, though the song has something about it that disturbs me, can't say what it is, but it keeps me from loving it. so far. and well, like i said, tool, popular, uw and drunk are fantastic! ok, and swm too. my power supplyer.
