Presci1108 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 It seems so sweet... It reminds me "Ordinary Man". I will have to listen it on the album for be sure to tell how I like it. (But I like it, this little bit is really sweet) I told myself "No, I'll not listen to the new songs before the album. I want it to be a surprise" I'm weak. 😶 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 A first try at the lyrics - corrections and additions are welcome. Blue is a feminine colour Blue is deep and bold Blue is like no other as secret as it's old Blue like the ocean's heart (...) But you're blue (...) Blue for your sons not your daughters Blue not for pleasure but pain Obvious to say that it's okay no matter what life throws at you I will always love the blue in you I don't trust the rainbows that are made by the sun For a friend of many is a friend of none Come out of nowhere but quit to end like any other farewell a friend Obvious to say that it's okay no matter what life throws at you I will always love the blue in you Green is pretty as for two but not as deep and dark as blue Red like the flame that burns in you but the hottest part of it is blue Yellow beams its joy for (…) (...) (…) looks cruel to you your faithful friend, your truth for blue Obvious to say that it's okay no matter what life throws at you I will always love the blue in you 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 I love the melody, it's more a work of art, more like a poem, than a catchy song - definitely not mainstream, definitely unique, and I agree it reminds me of Ordinary Man - which I also love. It's a song I can't always listen to, not something that you can just hear while doing something else - but some of my most favourite songs ever are the same (for example my all-time-favourite "Music" by John Miles), that's what makes them so special. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sara09 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Last year, Mika shared a recommendation on Twitter, for a stand-up on Netflix. I watched it and a part of it was so inspiring to me that I made it a section of my degree thesis. Because of that, it really stuck with me and in November, when we heard the first snippet of Blue, I immediately thought that he could have taken inspiration from that as well. So, after reading this part of the lyrics "Red like the flame that burns in you but the hottest part of it is blue" my feeling (and happiness!) grew stronger and I went back to the thread of the Vanity Fair event to find what I wrote about it. I really wanted to share it here with you all, now that Blue is officially on the album and is touching me so much: On 11/25/2018 at 10:25 PM, sara09 said: The topic reminded me of Hannah Gadsby's stand-up - the one Mika recommended on Twitter some time ago - where she talks about blue, and how it is socially considered "masculine" and "rational" and how she feels it's a feminine color instead, full of contradictions for its nature: it belongs to the cold side, but actually the warmest part of the flame is blue.

kreacher Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Remember Mika sang a tiny bit of the song at the Vanity Fair Stories way way back on November 24, 2018 in Milan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat_loves_mika Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I was looking on lyric genius for Tomorrow lyrics (very frustrating finding the right words he's singing, see more in thread) and here is what it says so far for Blue for credits: Written by: Mika, Dorothy Allison, and Alex Smith No lyrics up there yet, I think that someone is posting official lyrics when songs are being released. Maybe keep an eye out if it's bugging you like the lyrics for Tomorrow were bugging me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 There are a very few words that I'm still not quite sure of here, but this is 99% of this beautiful song. Blue is a feminine color Blue is deep and bold Blue is like no other as sacred as it's old Blue like the ocean's water But your blue when it falls as the rain Blue for your sons not your daughters Blue not for pleasure but pain All this to say that it's okay no matter what life throws at you I will always love the blue in you I don't trust rainbows Made by the sun For a friend of many is a friend of none Coming out of nowhere but quick to end like any other fair-weather friend All this to say that it's okay no matter what life throws at you I will always love the blue in you Green is prettiest for two but not as deep and dark as blue Red like the flame that burns in you but the hottest part of it is blue Yellow beams its joyful power But bite a lemon it tastes sour Why are humans cruel to you your faithful friend, your truthful blue All this to say that it's okay no matter what life throws at you I'll always love the blue in you 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatanBenYosef224 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 What A Beautiful Song, So... I Have no words to describe it properly, maybe heavenly? I Listen to this and it makes me fly in my mind to some other place, magical, a bit sad... Blue was Always one of my favorite colors. It's so nice to hear a song like that from my favorite artist! He describes perfectly that interesting color: like the song itself, Blue is sad but always peaceful and makes you feel safe, like this song and the lyrics! It's magical Gotta love Mika's voice in this song (like any others) Perfection 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_14 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I have to admit that the first time I listened to Blue, it kinda bored me. But now it's one of my favourites. I need it especially when I get stressed out, it manages to soothe me. I like both the lyrics and his voice, particularly the way he sings "I will always love the blue in you"... I'm always in heaven I really hope to listen to this song live! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irem Aytepe Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Blue is one of my favorite song. Idk why, I love the lyrics, his soft voice... Mellody, everything. Couple of fans doesn't like so much but you can listen this song when you are calm. Blue like the ocean's water but you're blue when it falls as rain Red like the flame that burns in you but the hottest part of it is blue no matter what life throws at you I will always love the blue in you 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same thought, probably because it's so slow. Just that OMS is one of my least fave Mika songs, and Blue is one of my faves. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikasister Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I dont like it and I barely listen it. if something gives to me it is sadness and I find it boring. It doesn't excite me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed!!! 24 minutes ago, mellody said: I had the same thought, probably because it's so slow. Just that OMS is one of my least fave Mika songs, and Blue is one of my faves. Well, I also didn't care about that song much, but as I had the chance to hear him singing it live in couldn't believe why I didn't like it before. His voice is amazing when he sings OMS. And so I would enjoy hearing Blue live in a gig. But as I can't go to any of them... that's just a dream for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened to me for Make You Happy - I don't like it at all on the album, but the (symphonic) live version was just really good. But with OMS - nope, not even hearing it live helped me liking it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
