That moment where he's standing in front of the dancers, and looks over his shoulder (no pun intended) at the one dancer, who suddenly breaks composure and grins back at him. I don't think that was supposed to happen, but I love they left it in. :wub2:


She’s all of us, fangurling :lol3:

Does the fact that when it is raised it positions itself like a crucifix have a meaning in your opinion? could the dancers lifting him symbolize the audience following Mika?

 

We talked about this a bit during the Instagram Live today... I totally missed it, if there was supposed to be some sort of cross reference. But in watching the video again, I do see that he's lying on the ice resurfacer in the shape of a cross, too. So... Hmm...

But it looks like 4 letters.

 

It may have sense. Mika is preparing a party. Apocalypse party. He even used a word a ball. Why not to surprise us at the end that we are in Apocalypse Disco Club :lol3:  (Like Butterfly Lounge)  with a disco ball on the ceiling. 

 

I think that definitely could be "Club Apocalypse". That has potential! :)

For me (one of the versions) he is dreaming (with girls in black outfits) "laying in his bed" (maybe a circle of white flowers represent his mum protecting him) and he is "waking up" on the resurfacer in the same position. The girls are wearing now red outfits and he is glittering in the spotlights. Girls in black outfits (they can represent night or a dark mind) run away when the lights of resurfacer get closer. 

Like always so many meanings so many symbols.

I think it's intentional because she's wearing braces - so by looking at her he asks her to be herself (love likeJane Birkin), so she smiles, despite the braces, which I think is something that many teenagers who have to wear braces are afraid of, to get judged if they show their smile.

I missed the braces! If that's right I love it even more! :heart:

The coolest shoot in town! Mika releases latest music video

 

Mika, the famous singer behind catchy tunes like "Grace Kelly" and "Lollipop," recently shot his newest music video, "Jane Birkin," at Lee Valley Ice Centre. 

 

Our modern £30 million ice rink provided a stunning backdrop for Mika's latest artistic venture,can you spot any familiar faces from the team here at Lee Valley Ice Centre?

 

In preparation for the shoot, Mika had one on one lessons with our own Ice Skating Coach Dannii Goldie to ensure he could master his twists and turns. Taking to the ice alongside Mika were members of Lee Valley London Skating Club, a home club based at Lee Valley Ice Centre, their involvement adds an authentic touch to the production.

 

The shoot was a lot and skaters from Lee Valley London Skating Club explained how they had:

“the most amazing experience filming this especially in our home rink at Lee Valley Ice Centre. Getting to meet and perform with Mika was truly special and something we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. 

 

“Big thank you to everyone who was involved in bringing this to life. It's such an amazing concept and we had so much fun being part of it. Thank you for allowing us to showcase synchro to the world.”

 

Do you want to learn to skate like Mika? Find out about our learn to skate programme or book with one of our coaches directly.

SO on the back of the jacket is a word Apocalypse.

 

And I am not sure over it is a word Club?

 

Apocalypse  Club?

 

 

Anna you were right! It's Club Apocalypso. It's on the hat in the merch:

The text on his jacket says "Blue Jeans" on one side and "Love harder" on the other. I wonder if it'll be one of his tour outfits? Probably... and I suppose for this song, because only in this context the "Blue Jeans" makes sense. Not sure though what he means by "love harder" ... something like love (yourself) more? I saw the word "love" at first and then was surprised about the "harder" - does it make sense to English speakers in the context of the song? I suppose it's hard to express the feeling of love in this song in just 2 words, so maybe that's what comes closest and something like "love more" could be misinterpreted as "make love more often", which I'm sure he doesn't mean ... oh dear, even if I think I know English well, such details in certain expressions still confuse me. 😅🙈

 

For me "Love harder" means: when someone who loves you is the same who makes you fall, don't stop loving. Love harder, don't stop loving just because you fell once.
