love it! especially the acoustic version, the piano is great! the song reminds me of love today, and it sounds funny, crazy, in some ways even a bit like the german party music we have here for carnival or the oktoberfest, meaning that it gets you in the same party mood like those songs, but of course it's musically much more elaborated.

That's exactly what it's reminded me of!

Origin Of Love - Track By Track

Wow they're all over the web and not just his YT account, thanks

I much more prefer this version of OOL and it's the same that he performed in Nibe, too bad he changed it because this one had more energy in it in my opinion.

Thank you!!!! Already listening to it! I think I die a little bit every time I listen to the new acoustic songs

Me too I hope we'll get to hear more acoustic performances on the show this week from the new album.

I know it's making me mental. The file is just over 1 GB so I need something better than mediafire :'(

 

EDIT: Trying to upload to dailymotion... fingers crossed.

Thanks

You're welcome Thanks for telling us when he'd be on

That acoustic Kids!!!! Seriously. Hardly breathing now. Someone recorded it, please say so...

Yup http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27304

I recorded the first part and will try to record the rest of them as well, sorry if it's slightly bad quality at times, it was the player's fault (or my silly mac's). And can you believe I've finally learned how to convert movie files to mp3s? Wow! All thanks to my music producing app Anyway, here it is:

The one I have doesn't load T_T'

Didn't work for me either, try this one:

He's on soon

so far my interpretation is that "someone' has fallen into the common trap of going back to someone they don't really love or who is bad for them when they've had a few drinks...it's a comfortable feeling and oh such a temptation when one is inebriated...it's ok M, it happens to the best of us

I hate it when that happens Used to happen to me often until I finally learned how to say no (eventhough I'd had a few drinks).

#TakeoverTalks to @mikasounds all week. Hear part 1 of the chat & a couple of quality acoustic tracks after 9! #EveningTakeover #JuiceFM

Anyone know if he's been on yet? I wish they would give a specific time I'll record just in case then check back later...

Edit: Whoops, going by Swedish time lol guess he's on later on

I like both songs but I wouldn't mind having even a third version of MYH. To me it is a song that one can play with - unlike Celebrate, for example. I don't understand why there are more versions of it on the album. As for Tah Dah , that one sounds really cool to me and that is why I don't feel the need to hear ianother mix of it... So to me it is a more complex picture than liking the song or not.

It's so weird because I should like MYH because it's electronic and with cool experimental sounds, which I usually love, but I don't know, hmmmm.... But I love Tah Dah

That's right! I watch this show almost every week with my daughter. "Une demande très spéciale" is usually a fan who ask the show to meet someone they like so it should be interesting:thumb_yello: Will let you know what it was:wink2:

Sounds fun! Thanks!

Little french interview promo clip:

http://fanclub.vrak.tv/carly-rae-jepsen-nous-chante-call-me-maybe/

Guess this show will air somewhere later on? 14th of September 17:30? Me and french are

Yeah I can't understand why two versions of MYH had to be on the album Tah Dah could've replaced one of them at least. I honestly can't stand MYH at all anymore...

Thanks for the lyrics anyway Nas

I think the last line of that verse is "so you couldn't do this to me again"

I hear that too now, thanks

No problem!

I'm not sure it's completely right, but it's what it all sounded like to me

 

But yeah again, definately a favourite from TOOL! Right now, it's the only one i listen too :b

It's so Mika in a way, a strange and unique song.

That's what made me fall in love with his music in the first place, the fact that he wrote such insanely creative songs.

Thanks Dreamerxd

Sorry I'm opening another song discussion thread but I'm eager to discuss this one

How awesome is Love You When I'm drunk?!

Starting from deb's lyrics:

 

I had a dream last night I slept with someone else

Does that mean that I cheated on you

It was amazing and I couldn't stop myself

Could it be that I really want to

 

Well if the things we feel count more than what we do

Guess what lover I'm leaving

 

I don't wanna be that guy

Look you in the face and lie

But someone has to say it first

Even if the words may hurt

 

I only love you

I only love you

I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

 

I only love you

I only love you

I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

 

Don't get me wrong last night

I didn't change my mind

It was the drink it was leading me blind

And when I kissed you it was such a big mistake

A couple drinks that's a chance that I take

And if I can't control all of the things I do

I guess I'd better be leaving

 

I don't wanna be that guy

Look you in the face and lie

But someone has to say it first

Even if the words may hurt

 

I only love you

I only love you

I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

 

I only love you

I only love you

I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

 

I only love you

I only love you

I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

 

I only love you

I only love you

I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

 

And I may be a little bit drunk

But I know what I've got to do

'Cause when I get a little more sober

I know I'll be over you

 

And I may be a little bit drunk

But I know what I've got to do

'Cause when I get a little more sober

I know I'll be over you

 

I only love you

I only love you

I only love you

I only love you

I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

 

I only love you

I only love you

I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

Not too crazy about the chorus (music/vocal melodies) but I absolutely adore the verses.

I think I might cry happy tears if he performs this live this fall/winter

Thanks I'll update the lyrics

edit; oh and btw, when I first heard that upbeat version (the preview on itunes) I was really annoyed by those weird sounds in the beginning xD I don't know if you can understand what I mean.. But those funny drop sounds..

I think I know what you mean; You mean those synthesizer drumlike sounds, right? Really popular in a lot of club hits

Lets discuss this incredible new version of Overrated here! Produced by Swedish producer Klas Åhlund (Teddybears Stlm) who produced Robyn's Body Talk albums and you can hear the similarities between some of Robyn's songs and Overrated.

I know that a lot of fans prefer the older version of Overrated but to me that's a completely different song (and absolutely beautiful). In my opinion, this one is equally beautiful and then some, in a very different way. Yes, it's a dance/club song with incredibly gorgeous sounding synths, but the lyrics are quite heartbreakingly beautiful as well. That combination sends shivers down my spine, especially when he's singing about wanting his lover to take his life and end his pain. Reminds me of Lana Del Rey's Born To Die (as I've mentioned before) and that's extremely sad but at the same time really beautiful.

Anyway, I could go on forever Love it!

These lyrics are mindblowing! As well as the breathtakingly powerful music. I'm in love!

Words get broken

Cut me open

Love confound me

Kill me quickly

Breathe out breathe in

Throw me living

off the deep end

While I'm sleeping

I'm a crazy fool

I'm a fool addicted

To the touch of you

To your poison kisses

What you got to lose

What do you think this is?

Nothing left to prove

And we know that love is

Overrated

Overrated in this goddamn world

Overrated

Overrated in this goddamn world

Overrated Overrated

Overrated in this goddamn world

Overrated Overrated

Overrated in this goddamn world

Stars are magic

Light this tragic

Crime of passion

I'm just asking

Offered up my wrist

And you thought you hit it

But your arrow missed

Couldn't kill me with it

All I asked of you

Was to free my pain

So you couldn't do

This to me again

Overrated Overrated Overrated

Overrated in this goddamn world

Overrated Overrated

Overrated in this goddamn world

... etc, and at the same time:

Words get broken

Cut me open

Breathe out breathe in

Throw me living

Words get broken

Cut me open

Stars are magic

Light this tragic

Overrated Overrated

Overrated in this goddamn world

I love this song so much! I love 80s music so I immediately fell in love with it. So much that I won't even care if Pharrell's even featured on it. I wonder how this song was written and how the recording process went because it hardly sounds like anything Mika or Pharrell have written before. Anyway, I love it!
