As usual hhhh but to be true 1 million isn't really a big deal 🙄 artists reach millions in 1 day, but at least we can be happy for it because the song didn't have any promo

 

1 million for some artists is nothing and for others is a lot.

1 million in one month with no promo looks not bad. 

And there is money behind it too.

Below a photo of s simple calculator. And as Mika is a writer and a producer it may be more money.

But actually it's not about money. At least we can see how the music business works nowadays. And not only number of CD copies sold counts.

I hope it will be even a better score for Mika's new album. And I hope that promo will work correctly!!!

of course not only the sales count now but I still think the tour will go to the places where the most sales are and there the streams won´t count. The money for 1 mio streams won´t cut the costs to produce the song but I still love the songs and will continue to stream as much as possible.

Last song of the year 2018; but the first steps of the 2019 album!

SOUND OF AN ORCHESTRA

MIKA

 

you lower your hand clarinet will play 

raise it back up 

and it flies away 

when you smile violins will soar

when you move your legs a timpany will roar

 

I can hear it , I can hear it,  I can hear it , I swear

all the music you’re provoking, filling up the air

 

Its getting louder

 

this is the sound of an orchestra

I can hear it playin’ everywhere that you are

there is a sound for everything you do

this is the sound of my love for you

listen to the sound of my love for you

 

You don’t even know everything I hear

every move, every note, everytime you’re near

if I close my eyes I promise I can see

a hundred people playing and it’s just for me

 

I can hear it , I can hear it,  I can hear it , I swear

all the music you’re provoking, filling up the air

 

Its getting louder  

 

 

this is the sound of an orchestra

I can hear it playin’ everywhere that you are

there is a sound for everything you do

this is the sound of my love for you

 

listen to the sound of my love for you

 

before you even say

what I know you’re gonna say

there are the sounds I hear

unrolling in my head

comes down really close

hold me like you do 

then all the music in my head you’ll hear it too

 

this is the sound of an orchestra

I can hear it playin’ everywhere that you are

there is a sound for everything you do

this is the sound of my love for you

 

 

listen to the sound of my love for you

 

Are those the official lyrics, because I'm hearing " Listen to the sound of my lust for you", can we verify?

It happened to me with "Overrated" he says "Light this tragic" and I heard "Life is tragic" :doh:

MIKA does do slight word changes every now & then during some live performances . . .

generally substituting a word acceptable to adult audiences.

[For instance, like 'whore' for 'bore']

BUT, as far as the  'Sound Of an Orchestra' official lyrics question,

I think it's 'LOVE' not 'LUST' in the official lyrics.

I've always heard "light is tragic" and thought it should be "life"... :doh:

No, the first one is "Listen to the sound of my "Lust" for you

 

And in the second one he says "love" instead

I don't think we'll ever know for sure which one is it. So I go with the flow. I try to incorporate at least a single 'lust' but mostly it's 'love' throughout the song. I think that's how Mika does it.

Yes, I agree - and maybe MIKA means both the words here ...:naughty: :wub:

 

Love, love
