TinyLove_CJ Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I asked about inspiration. What's the one main thing that inspired him to start writing songs in French? I know there's bound to be more than one piece of inspiration, but I'm just curious to know if there was one thing in particular. Mika has already talked about his Mother and family but inspiration can come from anything and anywhere, I'd love to know if something really random inspired a song. Maybe seeing someone slip on a banana skin inspired Sweet Banana? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ax07 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I asked him if it is harder for him to sing in French as in English, cause I mentioned an interview in which he was saying that he is dreaming in English and so I was wondering if the lyrics had come into his mind in English and he started trying to write them down in French 🤷♂️✌️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyaboutmika Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I said I loved c'est la vie and I asked if Sweet Banana would be the next single 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyLove_CJ Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I felt bold and asked another question! I wanted to know if he ever writes down simple song notes, forgets about them, finds them again and then turns it into something more meaningful for a song. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Oh gosh, what did I ask him? Don't think I can remember all of them now! Err... - What was his inspiration and intention behind his new logo and colour scheme? - Did he enjoy the experience of writing an album in French? Would he like to do it again? - How did he choose which songs would be on the album? What was his artistic direction? - How did writing the French album differ to writing in English or Italian? Does performing in French offer him a different perspective? - Where will he tour for this album? Will he return to the UK? - Does "Sweetie Banana" mean what we think it means? Can't wait for tomorrow! Hope everyone gets something answered. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question was similar to one of yours : How does the process of writing a song in French differ from how he writes in English? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also asked him about the new logo, about whether he can already tell us anything about the album artwork, and which song on the album he found the hardest to write and why. And I asked whether he'll sing C'est la Vie in Madrid. Don't think he'll reply to that, but I'd love to know, as I have an idea for a fanaction. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyLove_CJ Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Before I went to bed I popped in another question! Will he ever release or perform an acoustic version of C'est la Vie? I hope he answers and I hope he answers YES! 😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even if he hasn't changed his mind, he can answer this time in English why it's his fave - and maybe have a bit more time to reply. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your second question, it's cleaver ☺️ I asked him also which song of the album was the most difficult to write or sing & why. 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
