mellody Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 New song from Pierre Lapointe's album released today, a duet with Mika, written by Pierre Lapointe: "Six heures d'avion nous séparent" Article on Audiogram: https://www.audiogram.com/actualites/pierre-lapointe-six-heures-d-avion-nous-separent/ Google translate: PIERRE LAPOINTE and MIKA present "Six hours by plane separate us" Wednesday, October 21, 2020 PIERRE LAPOINTE and MIKA present "Six hours by plane separate us" It is with pride that Pierre Lapointe has chosen to announce the release of his new album by offering us, as a first single, a duet with the international star Mika . This new album is called *** Chansons hivernales *** and it will be released on November 20th. As in a small play, ** Pierre Lapointe ** and Mika play the roles of two lovers who end their story. Six hours by plane separate us exposes the painful exchanges between two broken hearts, separated by distance, one living in Paris, the other in Montreal. The song was born from the happy collaboration between Pierre Lapointe and his two Parisian friends: Alma Forrer and Benjamin Porraz . It fits perfectly into the themes that Pierre addresses in this new opus where snow, love and winter are in the spotlight. Listening to this first extract which features these two great names in song, we can already announce that with the album Chansons hivernales , Pierre Lapointe will once again surprise and move us like no other. The retro visual that accompanies the song Six hours by plane separate us was produced by renowned Montreal illustrator, Alain Massicotte . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holdingyourdrink Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Just had to look up Pierre Lapointe. Apparently he’s a Canadian singer songwriter. Good strategy, as Mika will be joining Star Académie at the end of this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the song, it has a nice groove, a tango, makes me want to start dancing (I used to do ballroom dancing as a hobby). 💃🏼 And again the lower registers of Mika's voice, that's beautiful. Also I absolutely love that painting, it's a very simple 'video' with that picture and the falling snowflakes, but it's beautiful and calming to look at. Won't be my fave Mika collaboration, but I definitely like it more than Youth & Love with Jack Savoretti. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giraffeandy Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 It sounds to me like a song from an old French movie (nothing in particular)... I think the animation with the snowflakes on Spotify is my favourite thing about it, even the painting looks a bit like a movie poster. Now I just want to see the movie starring Mika in that white shirt. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of those songs that will be played on dance evenings leading up to Christmas. It will also earn a permanent place on the dance teacher’s playlist, because of the easily recognizable beat, which is great for teaching tango. If Corona wasn’t a thing, I’m sure it would be a hit in the Canadian dance schools. But I’m afraid ballroom dancing isn’t such a big thing anymore, or is it? The song has an “in between” feel for me. Something to play in the background. It’s not happy, but it’s not super sad (melody wise) either. Beat wise I guess it’s a tango, but it doesn’t feel like one. Seeing it’s about a love story that has ended and that they’re torn apart with broken hearts, it actually fits. Dancing a tango by yourself. Doesn’t it take two to....?

And I prefer Mika in english😄 Same for me When Mika has almost a perfect accent while speaking French , it's totaly different when he's singing , especialy romantic or kind of songs. (For "Elle me dit" or "Boum,boum,boum" for exemple the accent isn't so lound) Sometimes it's even hard to understand the lyrics .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I like the song! I especially like Mika singing in French although I prefer his songs in English. I have been busy the last days due to my job so I wasn't really prepared to get a new song today. So I need a few more listenings for sure.

Written by Pierre Lapointe so not a typical MIKA - song. About two lovers who end their story: IN FRENCH: PIERRE J’ai souvenir de ton coeur de glace De mes analyses magistrales Le temps s’est figé, plus de menace J’espère que toi aussi, t’as mal Ce soir il neige, il neige sur Montréal MIKA La blancheur tombée de l’espace Sur le vacarme de ma vie Disparaîtra sans une trace Notre amour s’est évanoui Ce soir, il neige, il neige sur Paris MIKA & PIERRE Six heures d’avion nous séparent Pourtant t’es encore bien trop près Depuis des mois l’hiver se prépare Maintenant il est là pour de vrai PIERRE On a tous deux perdu la face Dans une confusion générale De notre amour pourrit la carcasse Loin de la chaleur tropicale Ce soir il neige, il neige sur Montréal MIKA L’amour est parfois dégueulasse Mais à quoi bon rester aigri La haine et les larmes se passent Un jour, oui, nous serons guéris mais Ce soir il neige, il neige sur Paris MIKA & PIERRE Six heures d’avion nous séparent Pourtant t’es encore bien trop près Depuis des mois l’hiver se prépare Maintenant il est là pour de vrai Quand l’été sera de retour On pourra peut-être parler Pour l’instant c’est beaucoup trop lourd On s’est déjà trop fait pleurer Six heures d’avion nous séparent Pourtant t’es encore bien trop près Depuis des mois l’hiver se prépare Maintenant il est là pour de vrai TRANSLATED IN ENGLISH: PIERRE I remember your heart of ice From my masterful analyzes Time has stood still, no more threat I hope you are hurting too Tonight it's snowing, it's snowing on Montreal MIKA The whiteness fallen from space On the din of my life Will disappear without a trace Our love is gone Tonight, it's snowing, it's snowing in Paris MIKA & PIERRE Six hours by plane separate us Yet you're still way too close Winter has been brewing for months Now he's here for real PIERRE We both lost face In general confusion Of our love rots the carcass Far from the tropical heat Tonight it's snowing, it's snowing on Montreal MIKA Love is sometimes disgusting But what's the use of staying bitter Hate and tears pass One day, yes, we will be healed but Tonight it's snowing, it's snowing on Paris MIKA & PIERRE Six hours by plane separate us Yet you're still way too close Winter has been brewing for months Now he's here for real When summer is back Maybe we can talk At the moment it's way too heavy We've already made ourselves cry too much Six hours by plane separate us Yet you're still way too close Winter has been brewing for months Now he's here for real it’s such a typical Pierre Lapointe’s song. I love the guy (he shares a lot with Mika, especially on clothing... they are about the same shape, they could probably swap clothings) but his work is far from being mainstream and sometimes, it’s too much for me! I like it in small dosage only 🤫 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Thanks for the lyrics and translation, @Marit R. Nielsen. I've read that some French fans hate the song, and with those lyrics I understand it a little, they don't sound exactly poetic from what I read here. Anyway they're not written by Mika, I don't understand them when they sing, and the song sounds good, so who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyaboutmika Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 At first I was very amazed by this duet. I still am As in most Mika's duets I would love him to sing the whole song. The tune takes me back to my early childhood. It seems to be from the 70s. It's the first gay break up song I ever heard. Because of the tune Mika's voice reminds me of Claude François I loved as a kid I can't take the lyrics seriously, to me they are kind of ironical aka six hours by plane is still too close...I like the song because Mika sings part of it. I'm not keen on Pierre Lapointe on his own I want to buy that song but google play music ap is being replaced by youtube music ap which is a pain because I haven't figured out how to buy mp3s there yet and the new ap is awful unless you get the paying version...even playing my own music is comolicated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
