sariflor Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Or Mika's songs are too easy I know someone else who says that, and he knows what he's talking about But in any case, you're good, and that is independently of Mika's songs being simple or not WOW. look at this *short* convo i just had with a mika-hating friend on MSN - Ethan says: Man I love Blue Eyes Charlotte. says: its such a awesome song, aye? *goes all fangurly* Ethan says: Hard out.

sienna Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I was bored So beautiful!!:wub2: Yes Mika's songs are not complicated musically, most pop songs are not, that's what makes them pop songs, Beatles are a great example of that and many more... But Mika's latest songs have a way to let the melody twist and turn in the most intricate and delightful way:blush-anim-cl: lovely! And Nono, I couldn't help notice your double watches; you are like a little sister to Mika, your big talent for music, choosing the piano as your instrument and all!

avoca Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 now that I listened to the"refined" version of BE, I dislike it a little less , but I still wouldn't go for it as to spontaneous choice, and it's the weakest of the new songs IMHO. then again, I had also least faves in LICM, thought overall I liked and listened to them all and didn't use to forward the CD while playing it. time's helped a little and esp. the definitive version of the song meets my tastes more. maybe it'll get better than it is now.

B!anka Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I don't know if anyone cares bout what I think but...I kinda like it... it just makes me think of a sunny vacation and I don't know it is just a happy song - I really like it! I soo can't wait for TOY BOY:aah: A bientot, Bianca xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 it just makes me think of a sunny vacation and I don't know it is just a happy song - I really like it! I am not one for interpreting songs but I think it's pretty safe to say the lyrics are not about being happy. The music does remind me of the Caribbean though, a bit of a calypso feel.

Blue Sky Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Classic Mika...happy tune, dark words, deception.

The music does remind me of the Caribbean though, a bit of a calypso feel. Agreed, lyrically it's obviously not a happy song. It just has that sad lyric/happy sound dichotomy which Mika is really adept at. I get a more African feel from the beat. Although of course, African beats and Calypso beats are related. It sounds like something I used to hear in the African-themed nightclubs I sometimes used to go to when I lived in Portugal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I get a more African feel from the beat. Ah yes, yes I know what you mean now. The guitar intro sounds a lot like an African inspired song by this Sheffield band my former boss managed. It's the keyboards in the chorus that remind me of a steel drum calypso thing.

sparkly1 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I have decided now after all this time that I have fallen in love with the music for this one lol, TB is still my fave but this one is so catchy, can't wait to get my EP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music does remind me of the Caribbean though, a bit of a calypso feel. yep that is what it feels like to me, I almost expected some steel drums I love steel drums I can just visualize being on holiday in a nice warm sunny place feeling all woozy (maybe a thing in common with lonely alcoholic lol), listening to this and watching ppl boogie on the dance floor all sun tanned. Is he gonna bring this one out on single, I reckon it's catchy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vixenbbw Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Just had a quick listen to the EP version of Blue Eyes and it reminds me of Paul Simon circa:Graceland, specifically Diamonds on the soles of her shoes. Anyone else know what i mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
