clara85 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) I think we know the Spanish part from when they were filming the video. I'llgo look for it in a minute. I didn't see that you had posted the lyrics already so I was working on them this morning. I think you came up with what I had for the most part, except for the chorus. I hear "'Cause they always *gonna* turn out right." And in the second verse I hear a few minor differences. But overall, I think we have them! Live Your Life You've got the whole world in your pocket But you just don't know Everybody's smilin' at you everywhere you go It's like you've got that secret Everybody else wants to know Oh yeah Anywhere you are is just like home to you From the beaches in Manila Down to Katmandu Yeah you've got that secret Everybody else wants to know And you won't ever let it go oh Everybody wanna hold your hand Everybody wanna shine that bright Everybody wanna say they can Everybody wanna live your life Everybody wanna talk like you Only wanna do the things you do 'Cause they always gonna turn out right Everybody wanna live your life We take a whole room full of strangers And we make them friends We do it all around the world Just so it never ends It don't matter where we're coming from or going to You're the only one that ever turns a grey sky blue And everybody needs a friend like you Everybody wanna hold your hand Everybody wanna shine that bright Everybody wanna say they can Everybody wanna live your life Everybody wanna talk like you Only wanna do the things you do 'Cause they always gonna turn out right Everybody wanna live your life SOMOS CIUDADANOS DEL MUNDO, ASI YO SIEMPRE A TU LADO Y TÚ JUNTO A MI EL MUNDO ESTÁ EN TUS MANOS, NO LO SABES YA COMO UN DIAMANTE SIEMPRE BRILLARA Everybody wanna hold your hand Everybody wanna shine that bright Everybody wanna say they can Everybody wanna live your life Everybody wanna talk like you Only wanna do the things you do 'Cause they always gonna turn out right Everybody wanna live your life thank you so much for the lyrics Edited May 27, 2013 by clara85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guylainem123 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 i like the song but it does remind me of Faith.... alot! Thanks Deb for the lyrics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmont69 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Yes, I also thought about Faith when I first heard LYL, but I really like it any way. But it isn't the first time Mika loans something from George Michael: Touches you has some similarities with Father figure. And LYL has the same cheerful atmosphere than The Edge of Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAK1 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The chorus tune reminds me of a DeBarge song a called Rhytmn Of The Night. It's quite danceable, at least I was dancing around to it when the gig was on last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamy_Queen Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 This is so cool Even if you don't drink it (and I don't either) this beer is magic because it makes us giggle without drinking it That's Mika's magic :wub2::wub2: I love your thought! :thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eloise.shaw Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Not sure if the chords have been posted, but I've figured them out. Capo 3 verse: G, C, (repeated G, C, D, C, chorus: G, D, C It's pretty simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I just realized! The guitar at the and of the song is like one at the beginning of George Michael s "Faith"! I realized it from the first notes But I don't mind! What is important, is that the song is light and bright. It is called the Bo Diddley beat and can be found in hundreds of pop and rock songs alike, from the Who via U2 to George Michael..

suzie Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Seems like some was filmed in London then. How come the UK fans didn't get asked to help out then? You really need to ask Rose, Mika's just not interested in the UK any more! It seems to me that it is not a fan video but an advertisement and I don't think most 'hardcore' Mika fans are in the target group for this beer. Can you see yourself appear in this ad? I can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetieval Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Everybody wanna shine that bright I love it , shiny song, multi-cultural song... I watched the video twice yesterday evening and had the song in my head all evening long... Happy for spanish speaking friends ... you see, Mika is not only speaking in english or french (but I am sorry for my german/dutch/belgian friends... am I ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't +1 I had no idea of the whole thing (fans requested...) because I had been away from MFC for a while... and it clearly was an add for beer when I saw the video yesterday Sorry for you Suzie and the other fans who were there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Sorry for you Suzie and the other fans who were there oops, I think I was misunderstood. I wasn't anywhere near where this video was filmed. I only meant that this video is not meant to portray typical Mika fans. The song itself is not a typical Mika song, either, as it is not particularly unique but I like it and it fits the concept / the beer the are selling. But they did ask fans in Spain to join the filming hence why the comment about not being asked in London:wink2: oh, ok, I missed that, but I mean, look at the people playing a key role in the video... They are not the Mika fan type, are they... The crowd scene is understandably only in Spain, given it's about Spanish beer (although I could be wrong as I only saw the video once and I can't even remember that scene ) Edited May 28, 2013 by suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Well my old Wapping flat, my local pub (The Prospect of Whitby) and the braces we bought Mika feature in this video so I don't feel left out. This song is extremely catchy but the lyrics are empty and devoid of anything Mika. As a jingle it is extremely good and the energy of others makes it a really good advert. I can't speak to how it will go over in Spain but I think it would work really well in North America. It's unfortunate that he has wasted the great melody in the verses on a beer company though. I can understand Mika licensing his music to TV shows and even commercials but this is just too far over the line for me to stomach. He is throwing a good piece of music away on a beer commercial. And before anyone starts making excuses about retaining musical integrity with this song, let's just get real for a minute. Half of this song would not be in Spanish (and I really can't imagine the lyrics being so trite and meaningless) had the final development not been made for San Miguel.

I am not sure what the real story is.... It seems to me that those 2 well-known songwriters, Steve Robson and Wayne Hector had their share of the songwriting process, so this song may have either started out from a piece they had or they turned a Mika song into this.... (or they wrote it all themselves, which is the most likely scenario given the song has no typical Mika sound in it at all ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
