Manon14 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I think he actually mentioned his brother in discussing this song so I think you're right. On the language question...I think (hypothetically) you could also mean you want the son you have to have different qualities. It's projection. This is the son I have and I am just going to - either through pressure or delusion - make him into the person I want. In another time and place Mika could have been the son that she wants by getting married and having children, etc. I think in this particular case though Mika may be referring to a second son that will fulfill all her specifications for the ideal son because what Mika has to offer isn't what she values in a son. But I am guessing that based on what he has said rather than the actual lyrics. And just for the record I don't think any of this is really true. I think it's just a child's twisted perception (brought on by religious conditioning) and fear of disappointing his parents. I also find it hard to believe that Mika was ever stuck in the middle. Unless, by "middle", he means being the centre of everyone's world. Perhaps quite literally, "the middle child" I interpreted "another son" as Mika, but a Mika that's happy with his trophy wife and that wants kids etcetera.. But yes in my interpretation, this basically is his fear, or was his fear before coming out to his family, not reality, Mika doesn't have a wife that he wants to leave anyway, or had one once (at least... that we know of ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 It really reminds me of a song called 'Learn To Keep Your Mouth Shut, Owen Pallett' by Owen Pallett. I think you may be referring to another song, 'Hurts'. I understand the similarity you mean in the violin played with pizzicato in Owen Pallett's song and the piano part in Hurts. The songs themselves are rather distinct, like you say. I love them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Suzie??????????????????? how lovely to see you again!!! i missed you! Thank you I did feel guilty not showing up for quite a while - got other things to focus on. Still pretty busy but did manage to download all the songs today - good music does take priority . I am really pleased with this new album but I can't believe there is no link to buying a physical album... Maybe I am not looking hard enough or I am one of the very few old fashioned people who prefer to listen to music on hi-fi now and then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully there's awesome people like you to help out. To save money, for a MIKA concert is, imo, the smartest thing you can do! I don't think my alb.is a deluxe version - just an ordinary one, so I was very surprised, and very happy, when ALL the lyrics of the 14 tracks were in the inlay! In fact there's 15 tracks, because "Good Guys" also has a "night time mix" - which is so cool My ordered deluxe version will be delivered this month, I've been told. This one is for my car - cause, like many of his fans, I like to have him available "everywhere" If you're wondering about any other lyric, feel free to ask - I'll be more than happy if I can help you with it! Btw, you have picked a superfunny lyric for your pic - really clever!! Love,love me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several more even "deluxer" versions, like the limited edition one that you've probably ordered, but your 15 track cd is still a deluxe version!

It was the only one left in the shop, I found it in Denmark, and felt so lucky since I could buy it as soon as it was out! My daughter ment it was waiting there for me Added to all the lyrics there's also info about each song, who made it, which I love, as well as the lyrics! There's 6 black and white photos,in the alb. incl. the one on the front. Needless to say I'm totally in love with the whole alb . And yes, the deluxe version I immediately ordered, when it was annonced, is the limited one... Love,love me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mer Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 It really reminds me of a song called 'Learn To Keep Your Mouth Shut, Owen Pallett' by Owen Pallett. I'm pretty confident he's mentioned the song in an interview at some point as being a song he likes. It's not a "rip off" by any standards, though. I think it means a different son in the context of the song. i think that "all she want" is another son ... is despective... and all she wants it´s not see to this people.. in the pics..

Can anyone clarify? It's confusing, but I guess it depends on the countries? Staring At The Sun and its French version are already singles in France, J'ai pas envie is a single in Canada, maybe All She Wants is the single for UK? It's such a good song and it totally should be a single everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Mastin Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Fantastic!!!!!!!!!! I do love ASW. I must admit I wished for a different single, like Hurts, or NPIH. One that shows up his matchless voice and his talent for melody. But ASW is really catchy and the kind of song that people would stop what they are doing to listen to it. Like I did when I first heard Love Today. It reminds me of a Frankie Valli song and that's good. I just hope the song does well. Btw. Talk show host Jeremy Kyle has been doing updates this week, on what's happened with different past guests. There was an update on a girl who had gone to rehab for drugs (but had discharged herself) as the counsellor went to the door to see her, they started playing the intro to HURTS!! I nearly died, but it would have been a brilliant way to go. They played some of the instrumental. I wish we'd heard Mika sing the song, but at least they are aware of his new music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
