mellody Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 I love the colours on the cover. 🩷💚 And the new logo fits well to it, tho I'm not sure whether it reminds me more of clouds or of ghosts 👻 ... - I wonder if it's just for the cover or a general new logo? Somehow can't imagine it on his website. Definitely wouldn't fit to that pic of him in the red suit on the start page. In the short teaser I thought I heard "mélodie" as a rhyme for "elle me dit", but not sure. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) "Video is not available" Did anyone get a copy they can share? Or a screenshot so we can see the new logo? Edit: ok, his Insta story has a link to a snippet on Tiktok. I LOVE IT! ❤️ Edited August 25, 2023 by Hero 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krysady Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Maybe that's what he meant when he said on his latest video "see you in like, a day, or two" ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So everyone who has Tiktok, go and use the song as a sound in your videos, the more the better! And interact with the videos already posted (you can see them if you click on the little song icon on the bottom right in Mika's post) - Tiktoks algorithm has to know that everyone loves this song. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyLove_CJ Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Managed to hear the snippet on youtube this morning before it became unavailable and I absolutely love it! Feels somewhat of a different style for Mika but still with that upbeat vibe to the melody that we're used to with his more catchy songs. Very much a song that I want to get up and dance to! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presci1108 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) What good news ! I'm happy to hear that ! It seems like a song I will like, at least I know for sure I will probably deeply love the lyrics and message, and the chorus is already hyper-catchy and give this urge to dance ! And plus, it will be released just before Chalons' gig, so, maybe I will hear it live very, very soon, too !

Really, really it made me cry like a child..... And even it's not a final one I think the main meaning is there. Why these wrinkles on my face? Where they come from? Even if getting older is like a sinking ship... What could we do without love? My brothers and sisters' hearts are heavy Did you locked well the door? This is life (x3) Because this is life (x3) There was a party...... so why it becomes blury? We were fighting, we were traveling a lot. This is life, this is life May heads bloom, bloom again This is life (x3) Because this is life (x3) So life, look at me, I will never be afraid of you again With flowers even in silence she sais to me she sais to me... (dance ?) Reposting this as someone was looking for lyrics For me he sings "elle me le dit, elle me dit danse" at the end of the chorus Edited August 25, 2023 by crazyaboutmika 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it's very much Mika's style, although here you also have the melancholy in the melody instead of just in the lyrics, as he used to do it in the early days. With Yoyo it was the same, but I'd rate Yoyo more as a dance song, while C'est La Vie is clearly Pop to me. Danceable Pop, but although there's a lot of repetitions in the song (which make it super catchy), the melody stands out and does its own thing, supporting the lyrics in such a beautiful way that it gives me goosebumps. 1 hour ago, Tori13 said: I agree!

CharlotteL Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Ok I wasn‘t sure if I should participate or not as I‘m not really sure about the song yet and will wait until it‘s fully released. But since we‘re talking about genres and musicality… This song is giving me massive Schlager vibes! I absolutely love the lyrics (the depth, the callback to elle me dit) but musically it is just SO simple. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presci1108 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Don't know if that's useful at that point, but the lyrics of the snippet are clearly : Car je n'aurai plus peur de toi Avec des fleurs, même en silence Elle me le dit, elle me le dit Alors la vie, regarde moi car je n'aurais plus peur de toi Avec des fleurs, même en silence Elle me le dit, elle me dit danse (Because I will not be afraid of you anymore With flowers, even in silence She tells me it, she tells me it So, life, look at me Because I will not be afraid of you anymore With flowers, even in silence, She tells me it, she tells me "dance") And then, the chorus we already know... There was only some words we didn't have completely, I think. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, what makes a song sound like Schlager is mainly the lyrics, which are often silly and interchangeable. And that's definitely not the case for C'est la vie. But yeah, I guess if you added a text by Helene Fischer to that song, it might fit to the beat & repetetive elements. That could be true for many other pop songs too tho.

Yes, except that "terrible" can also mean "fantastic" in French. So, when you say in French that your French is "terrible," you might mean that your French is fantastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 Btw, I love that they made the cover look like someone (life?) had thrown Mika at the wall and he's leaving a pink stripe there while falling on the floor. It fits to the "when life is shit, dance", it's funny and sad at the same time... even the flower is hanging its head. I wonder if he'll make a series of this artwork for the next releases, like in the next one he'd get up, in another one he'd dance, or something... And I also love how he teased the artwork in his post about the tour a few weeks ago, with the 💚🩷💚🩷💚🩷 hearts. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 What's also interesting is that the photo of him on the cover is in colour, and even putting a focus on the colour. The covers of Ice Cream and Tiny Love also had a colour pic of him, but there the colours were still more around him, while here he even leaves a stripe of colour on the wall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
