ElizaWilson Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 *mods, feel free to lock this thread if there's already one for it* Hello! I'd like to know, what's your favorite song from each album that Mika's produced? I'll start: LICM: Any Other World TBWKTM: Lover Boy SFS EP: Lady Jane TOoL: Lola NPIH: Oh Girl, You're The Devil Honorable mentions: Stuck in the Middle, I See You, Blue Eyes, Elle Me Dit, Last Party And, I must say, Sound of an Orchestra is very nice as well. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giraffeandy Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Tbh for me it's impossible to choose, it depends on the mood... Also it's hard for me to choose just one because I often have one favourite upbeat song and one ballade on each album. And it changes everytime. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szara. Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It's hard to choose favorite song. I have favorite songs on every album. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemz Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I like your list Eliza! I agree with the others on here though, my opinion changes over time, I've only been listening to Mika's last three albums since September last year so my opinions are changing all the time, I think I need to update my siggy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominika Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Oh girl, you are asking for impossible! Just like my previous commentators - depends on the day and mood 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sara09 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Like the others said, in some moments I may listen more to certain songs than others, so it changes, but I tried to make a list of songs that tend to always be there. Consider that I have more favorites for each album, but here's my "can't live without" list LICM: Billy Brown TBWKTM: We Are Golden SFS: Toy Boy TOOL: Origin Of Love / Underwater NPIH: Good Guys / Good Wife Edited January 24, 2019 by sara09 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Eyes SFS - Toy Boy TOOL - Underwater NPIH - No Place In Heaven Edited May 10, 2020 by Mikasister 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunari Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 LICM: Happy Ending TBWKTM and SFS: Toy Boy TOOL: Origin of Love NPIH: Good Wife LICM is the most difficult for me, because there are a few songs tied for first place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menahyl Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I am terrible with favourites. Picking out my favourite song, Mika song, book, movie, food etc. is a sure way to give myself an existential crisis. But I do have a favourites list for a single day. I listened to LICM all day long. For tomorrow, I am feeling like: Over My Shoulder, Lover Boy, Lady Jane, Origin Of Love, No Place In Heaven 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie-christine Suire Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 ok, I'm making an effort too. Our desires change with our moods of the day, so we can not choose a single song .... there are (many) which I can not do without, and I have a particular fondness for "Les Baisers Perdus" ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusted.laurels Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) I know it's been a year since the last post in here but shush So, as has been noted before, picking one favorite per album is basically impossible - but I sure can try. Cheated a little by giving reasons for more than one song per album sometimes, but I did pick only one song per album officially, so... that counts, right? Right. LICM: My Interpretation That rising melody of the "I don't need an alibi" bit is entirely too pretty - it's just such an absolutely timeless song. My favorite recording of it would have to be the Napster Live Session one: Just one guy and one piano, and 2:46 minutes of simple, acoustic beauty. Also, I don't care about how technically skilled he is, I really adore his piano playing. TBWKTM: Toy Boy Also the entire rest of the album. I'm pretty sure six of the songs from this one are on my personal favorites list, and We Are Golden, Rain and Toy Boy share my personal top spot on this album, with Blame It On The Girls not far behind. Going for Toy Boy anyway, because I think it was the first explicitly gay mainstream song I've ever heard, and it's just so totally unique and stunning - a song like the world's saddest porcelain doll. TOOL: Underwater ... unless we're counting single performances, in which case it's this one terrifyingly intense rendition of Make You Happy: But generally speaking, yeah, Underwater. It's got such a floaty vibe to it, and it was a personal favorite of mine for many years. NPIH: Boum Boum Boum It's so oddly un-Mika-ish, and yet such an absolute joy to listen to, and pretty high up on my list of all-time favorites. So much more commercial-sounding at the surface, and yet so genuinely, incredibly fun and playful - and it still never quite fits in and I've never heard anything quite like it. As much as I enjoy Mika's vocal acrobatics, it's fun to hear him calm down a little - he sounds adorable in this. Also, I love the video - for somebody who said he can't act, seeing Mika act a little sure is fun. Plus, I'm a bit of a film nerd, so seeing Lawrence Of Arabia in there in particular made me smile. And, last but not least, the fact that this song shows up everywhere amuses me endlessly. There's an orchestral version of a pop ditty about doing the do in odd places, for crying out loud. That's hilarious. Not to mention his little concert routine for this song, which is also an absolutely lovely little gem. So, yes. Amazing, fun, joyful song that just flat-out makes me happy. MNIMH: Sanremo This one's a tie between Ice Cream, Dear Jealousy and Sanremo, actually, but I figured I might as well pick the one that's most meaningful to me. Besides, I picked The Horny Song on the last album already, so I don't need to choose Ice Cream this time - though I was tempted to, because the gleeful sexuality of it is just so fun, but it's also really evocative of just... frickin melting (hornily, lol) during a hot summer day. Dear Jealousy is just absolutely hypnotic, so that would have been another good pick... but nope, Sanremo it is. A place in Italy standing in for nostalgia-tinged, unfulfillable desires, that entire concept of a place only existing in memories, that really resonates with me. Especially one in Italy, which, to me as a child, was the only place truly worth living in... AND the video was filmed in Croatia - the only place truly worth living in according to me as a young teenager. So, places of melancholy and unfulfilled desires indeed. And on top of THAT whole bundle of things that touch me personally, there's the video and its focus on historical homosexuality and it's heartbreaking and beautiful, and thus my pick for this album. I probably would've more clever things to say about this one, but I'm falling asleep over here and gotta get the post done, lol. /EDIT: ah yes, also, once again: seeing Mika act is really fun.
