Phillip Nguyen Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 How come there are no 'No place in heaven' songs in the Tiny love/revelation tours? There are even songs from 'The boy who knew too much' and 'The origin of love' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giraffeandy Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Mika sang Good Guys a few times during the tour and also No Place In Heaven once (I think) but you are right that those songs aren't part of the regular setlist. I don't know why, NPIH is my favourite Mika album but I guess there aren't any big hits like EMD or even WAG etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giraffeandy Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Also maybe there are more ballads or mid-tempo songs on this album which aren't so suitable for the big show as he is already singing Underwater and Blue/Paloma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is EMD, (Elle me dit? I would assume he sings that only in france/Europe) and WAG (WHERE have ALL The GOOD guys gone? bit of a stretch lol), Personally not a huge fan of blue, would rather paloma, or keeping in those style of songs, maybe (unlikely) over my shoulder (but songs like blue, over my shoulder, any other world, I already skip). Thanks for reply btw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reply btw EMD means Elle Me Dit, as you already said and WAG stands for We Are Golden. I really like those slowly meaningful songs in between, so I am happy if he still sings them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Mika says he wants to tell a story with his show, so I suppose the songs from NPIH just don't fit in. He plays the other ones only at the smaller shows, the ones without the big stage set. He also plays Elle Me Dit in Italy (not sure if at every gig, but at least at the 2 I attended ), and at most shows he dedicates it to his Mum. The song tells an important story about his life, so it's part of the setlist at the big shows. Only Stardust he just plays in Italy and nowhere else, probably because it was his biggest hit there.

Mikasister Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 And in Spain he added to the list "Live Your Life" for obvious reasons. Hope he brings the big show in "La Coruña" as it's a big venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I like differently slow songs though like 'Lady Jane', 'Ordinary man' and from his new album 'Ready to call this love', but obviously it depends on jack savoretti being there. I hope he's the special guest on the Melbourne show Edited February 13, 2020 by Phillip Nguyen +ordinary man from no place in heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most likely is Good Guys, but if you're lucky, he might remember the lyrics for Ordinary Man, he sang it at a few shows of the Heaven tour. Lady Jane, probably not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would request 'one foot boy'/'rain' lol. It would make sense that he remembers the more popular songs' lyrics. 'talk about you' /'all she wants' would be a good "mainstream"/no place in heaven songs to request Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I See You" Mika on the piano with an unbrella made of confetti and when Mika opens the umbrella, the whole confetti falls like rain. Imaginarium Tour A wonderful show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
