Little Green is so sad, now we know the story behind it. Mika's cover of Both Sides Now. All I can say is... WOW!!! It was another brilliant episode. I'm so happy that BBC Radio2 gives MIKA this opportunity to play his fav.music, and talk about the artists, and the stories behind the music! He's really good, and it's a pure pleasure to listen to him, even I, of course not, don't jump of joy by every single song he plays I learn something new by every episode, about the artists he presents, and about himself. As far as I remember, I haven't heard earlier that MIKA gets easily touched to tears, by watching movies and listening to music - in planes! As we know, he travels a lot by planes And his cover of "Both sides now" is extremely beautiful, imo I look forward to next Tuesday, when we surely will get interesting details of another fav of his, Harry Nilsson ( who had Swedish grandparents ) I suppose me, you and other oldies here at MFC might have a special joy for these radioprograms, as a big part of the music MIKA plays, are the hits, and more unknown songs, from our youth, the glorious pop-periode of the 70ies ...

I can remember him mentioning getting teary in planes while watching films and he makes it sound so funny and so super cute of course. Looking forward to next week, the song he is doing is really pretty and I believe it fits him very well Edited April 5, 2017 by tiibet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there we get all his strange habits for flights, haha - incl. him being emotional, and crying, while watching films Like Dreams, I'll def. think about MIKA the next time I fly ( hopefully the errand will be to see our funny, cute and good guy giving a new show somewhere ) And now we'll have to wait for his "masterful book" ! Probably he demands too much from himself, to dare to release it, that's my thought after his answer here about writers...

Love, love me His reference to being emotional on planes hits close to home! I always wondered why planes played so many tear jerker movies....so now I know, it's altitude "sickness" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyCuddly Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Wow would love to have a narrative book with Mika's voice... No matter the price, it would definitely be the most worth thing on earth, it's so soothing but kind of sexy at the same time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenagedreamer98 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Really liked this episode. It was very touching when he spoke about his mum and thanked her for introducing him to Joni Mitchell. It was also very cute when he spoke about crying while watching movies on planes! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mousetrap Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I've listened at last the Joni Mitchell issue. I can say that she's is not my piece of cake, perhaps because I can't catch the lyrics from the first listening and I don't like her music style. The only song I like is 'Free man id Paris", I've actually had it in my playlist before And of course Mika's cover! I think it's the best cover of all The Are Of Song covers. I love his voice in this song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
