After all these posts I went back and listened to it again. Sadly, to me, there is really nothing to the melody—not only no hook, but no depth—and the lyrics are so repetitive that they felt thin. I find Last Party depressing and Apocalypse Calypso takes me so high I fly (like Tomorrow but in a different way anf even higher...I was afraid because I usually find French too "flat" but Mika shakes French up beautifully. It's ok if we all don't feel the same way about Mika's songs. I think it depends on the way a song echoes in us both at the lyrics and mellody level which depends on our personal history/background/ears and many other things. I love it when I feel instant love for a song. And I'm a bit sad if I don't. But there are many songs to be released in this album so it's like a box of chocolate I'm sure you will love some songs that we don't have a clue aboht yet And after that there will be an album in English as well so don't worry I am totally honeymooning when Mika releases a new album and each time I am bursting with joy because he takes me higher with each album. This guy is magic There is a song dedicated to Mika's mum in the album. Maybe that one will be the one that will make yoh melt Edited October 22, 2023 by crazyaboutmika 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not blaming. My feelings.) I mean, that is actually one of the lines I love, but it is so….nihilistic. (I realize I have used the word sad previously in this discussion but what I really meant there was “ disappointed”.)

Valerie L Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Hello, Mika just answered some questions on Instagram riffx.fr, and one question about the meaning of Apocalypse Calypso, he said he wanted to write a romantic song, and for him the most romantic thing is making love in the middle of the Apocalypse… and his tournée 2024 will be like a Ball during or just after the apocalypse. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at us trying to interpret the depth of psychology and symbolism for this song. And it’s really just and only about making love 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara penny Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 With this album he feels freer, without complexes, without judgements, who are we to deny him this? He's 40 years old, it's only right that he can make this kind of more instinctive album! the historical period has nothing to do with it, he must not be influenced by what happens around him, the apocalypse for me does not concern the outside but are his negative moments that he wants to face by freeing himself from them through love and making love! 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenBigFat Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) 46 minutes ago, Valerie L said: Why? I think it’s romantic and funny, like him… Yes, he is, for sure. And always finds the positive, and wants to join the world in love. Yes! But—as much as I find his persona, and his work, soothing and healing and wonderful, especially in these times, these times are, TBH, horrific, frightening and awful, especially for some, and for the earth. We looked at various interpretations of the term, and his incorporation of the term, in previous pages of this discussion, but I actually was surprised at what he finally said. It's just too serious to be framed as an opportunity for an extremely romantic moment. It makes it feel minimized, even…made a joke of. It's like….you know how, after a catastrophe, when a comedian makes a joke and everyone stares back and the comedian says, “too soon?” Like that, only—-during.

But he is very aware of, and connected to, what happens in the world, as his statement about, and concert for, Beirut demonstrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valerie L Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 @QueenBigFat, he wrote this album 2 years ago, said in différents interview he talk about his personal life, and I don’t think he’s in any ways involved in politics or what happened in the world… just enjoy the song, and don’t think to much 😊 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what if it is not about the world (and we just interpreted wayyyy too much into it), but just about him and his perspective? The Riffx interview actually confirms it. I personally don’t see anything wrong with it. I mean, he’s right, we should take it with more lightness, whatever we are facing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added them to the first post, along with the English translation (taken from a mix between Google translate and Anne's translation). I corrected the 2nd "embrase", because you had written "embrasse" - and as I learned in this thread, this means different things.
