What if we start a new hashtag #OurTinyLoveStories on Twitter and anyone who’d like to share his tiny love story write it (or re-post from Instagram) there? Also I think it would be nice if everyone will end his story with the phrase “My name is … I was born in … and this is my tiny love story”, it becomes even more personal I think (it’s a @Beatrixxx_always ’s idea on her instagram comment and I loved it) Hum , not sure that we need another social media for it because he's already got lot of time to read all of them in ig I also am not sure that everyone wants to give real name and date of birth publicaly……...especialy the date of birth ……...,but your idea takes me to an other one …… What about collecting and printing all the messages ,put them in a fold or as a book and give it to him as an extra birthday gift along with the secret garden box ? Then he'd have a physical souvenir of the emotional tsunami that "tiny love" created @dcdeb what do you think ?

So, some things seem to be too personal (hey, I thought it was revelation time? ), others he wants us to find out ourselves. Basically we are still where we were before - but yeah, it'd have surprised me if he had suddenly started to explain things, that's not him - he loves giving us homework. Anyway, the way I understood it not everything in the video does indeed relate to the song, but is just the director's interpretation - so we have two stories there that are connected to each other and have things in common, but one is Mika's and one is the director's story. Happy that he answered one of my questions - although he managed to talk around that I wanted to know why a "female" hand (he just explained the hand vs planets thing, which is pretty obvious to me), and said he won't tell about the goose, but if we listened to his interviews we might know. Now where are the Italian and French speakers who understand all the interviews, can we find what he means? Oh yeah, and indirectly he answered another one of my (and many others) questions by saying it's not a romantic love song. Ah well, it'd have been too easy. If there was a chicken we would know what that means but now we're confused Or maybe he decided to put chicken and goose in one bag as poultry?

miknikel Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I didn't understand everything during Mika's live performance. But, come back to me if I'm wrong, I think many of us have understood the general idea of the clip, namely that you shouldn't try to decipher every detail. He didn't give us a psycho exercise to interpret... I find it very clever on his part to leave everyone the interpretation that suits him; for two reasons... The first is that while he gives himself up to us, he keeps a part of mystery. The second, and I think it's very strong of him, he doesn't fall into the trap of the sibyllin. What I mean by that is that he doesn't play it like some authors who make sibyllin just for the pleasure of doing it while explaining to you that their text is nevertheless clear and that if you don't understand it, it comes from you... Congratulations Mika for coming up with this fabulous result so that finally each of your fans can appropriate this song as a little piece of their own story. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am translating Mika's chat into Polish for my website (than I will convert it into French) and I as I wanted to learn the name of the actress ( I asked for it on Instagram) I will write it correctly now. Ronke is really amazing!!!! For more - while doing translation I realized how mamy details I missed!!!!! I am in a halfway. I hope to finish tomorrow.

Yes, but for now he's keeping some mystery for himself. On the other hand, by asking us to write about Tyni Love, he lets us take it over to translate our own feelings. ❤️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika never does anything randomly, even in the smallest details, and as he's in extreme control, each piece of his clip has a meaning he wants. But since he won't explain it, it's up to us to look for it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I can't recall any goose (OCA, in Italian) reference in Italian interviews, unless it's something still unreleased or cut out. The only possible link that comes to my mind is the one to the Oca Giuliva theater company, which created some props for Mika's last tour and also for Stasera Casa Mika, but honestly it doesn't seem such a substantial point to me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked a clever question and he refused to answer it... Even if, obviously, I understand his arguments for not explaining his artwork. Makes me think of Stuck in the middle he never really explained (I think), for the same reasons. Well, at least, I tried! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
