Daisuke Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) I know. He doesn't often perform the bonus tracks, does he? (Says the fan still waiting to hear Tah Dah live one day...) extremely unlikely, Technically speaking, he has performed some of the bonus tracks from LICM, but he didn't have as many songs then. I wouldn't expect him to do this one, I'm in the same boat as you regarding Tah Dah (...and Loverboy for that matter); considering when I asked about performing bonus tracks in general (in 2013), he gave me a "surely you jest face!" and then said " well, maybe I'll do Tah Dah" and then never did it, I'd just put this song in the "never to be performed live" pile. But you know, having perused the other threads, I see he played L'amour fait ce qu'il veut, so there may be hope yet.

Kata Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Yet again the best song is the bonus track. This should be a single 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manon14 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I totally agree with you. Can't believe they didn't make this one a single. Maybe he could pull a Taylor Swift, who made a bonus track from her third album a single because it was a fan favourite. We should let him know how we feel about this song! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should let him know how we feel about this song! I'm afraid he doesn't put much value on our feelings! This song screams to be single though. It simply stands out. Not sure if I (personally) love No Place in Heaven even more but have a feeling this could definitely work. I can't stop listening to it, totally addicted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunari Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 This is definitely one of my favourite songs on the album, if not my favourite. I can't believe it's just a bonus track! People who don't buy the deluxe version won't even get to hear it, which is too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emelyne412 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) I love the instrumental, especially in the chorus. His voice when he sing this part is very great ! It was a bit difficult for me to understand the second verse (on the sense ^^) It can be an hit on radios, the song is very catchy and energic.

tgwktm Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 wow this song is wonderful- i feel like it was written for me. favorite lyric: "Prayed every night to a religion that was chosen for me"- this has been me for so many years. mika seems to reflect all my frustrations and feelings in his songs, makes it easier to bare them on my own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 On the first listen, it reminded me of some boyband song... backstreet boys or some of the newer take that stuff (i really need to listen to their album that promiseland reminded me of, to figure out where the similarities are! ). I found the song alright at first... but after 5 days of listening to the album, i'm starting to get addicted to promiseland! It's just so powerful, the lyrics as well as the sound! would love to hear it live as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Vv* Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The first time I listened to thins song I thought "Is that really a Mika song?" It has this sort of rock rythm, mainly in the chorus, that makes me crazy. The lyrics express my thoughts and the hight and low voices are just to good to be true! Let's hope he'll listen to his fandom which has been asking it do be a single since day 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I just realized that the melody of the verse strongly reminds me of "it's my life" by bon jovi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamy_Queen Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 After Last Party (which will stay the moon and the sun for me forever) Promiselend is the most brilliant song in the album!

Emelyne412 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) I've a little question, maybe idiot, it's just to be sure. That's Mika who sing the grave voice, or not ? I have a little doubt. Edited June 18, 2015 by Emelyne412 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora_Z Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I absolutely love this song. Driving to work today I had the song on repeat and played it six times in a row. It is so addicting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I like Promiseland except for the electronic bleeps in the instrumental breaks, which spoil the song for me I can't see they add anything to the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, but I like these electronic parts! They add some powerful rage. Usually I'm against such type of music, but in this case these parts are very essential for the perception of this song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathouzouf Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I finally pinpoint why I love this song so much: we can hear a tiny portion, towards the end, where we can hear "dirty"/emotional Mika. Something I find we seldom see. (The only other occurence I could think of was when he sang Make you Happy in LA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
