MIKA 🎶 Jane Birkin

(Que ta tête fleurisse toujours)

[microclown]

So long as we’re embracing, we exist. We make ourselves immortal in the face of the apocalypse By making love we resist Look at me, take my hand My mouth, your deadly sensual back Our addicted hearts We kiss amongst the flames Whatever they think of the consequences, your ass is dancing We kiss amongst the flames I hold your body so tight Give me your hand So long as we’re embracing, we exist.. We make ourselves immortal in the face of the apocalypse By making love we resist Look at me, take my hand Dancing the calypso, apocalypse calypso Dancing the calypso, this apocalyptic calypso Where is the calypso, apocalypse calypso, this apocalyptic calypso We burn, the embers, a bubble falls (?) Your skin, my skin, the sky in waves, me at your back We kiss in the flames I hold your body so tight Give me your hand So long as we’re embracing, we exist. We make ourselves immortal in the face of the apocalypse By making love we resist Look at me, take my hand Dancing the calypso, apocalypse calypso Dancing the calypso, this apocalyptic calypso Where is the calypso, apocalypse calypso, this apocalyptic calypso

(?) he could also be saying "a bubble, we fuck" here. Someone fluent in French should let me know what they think ;)

Broke: danse macabre

Woke: apocalypse calypso

Mika, you handsome man!

[regicidal-defenestration]

To be fair I say The Boy Who Knew Too Much is one of my favourites Iv'e listened to + enjoyed all his albums (or at least, the predominantly English-language ones), other than The Origin of Love, which is, in my humble opinion, just a bit shite

[mika-mania]

My unfiltered first reaction to the album (and reading the lyrics)

Bougez:

Great start

Would normally never listen to sth like this but because it‘s Mika I love it?

I am INTO this, it's so stupid

(The bridge about god telling him to move in heaven lol)

Jane Birkin:

This has grown on me

The chorus is permanently stuck in my head

Sweetie Banana:

I… don't know

But the soft "bye bye"s are killing me

What the hell is this about

The only thing I understand is "I know your address" which is very ominous

("Candy in my bath" I'm sorry WHAT)

("All these words of love remain to be peeled" I am WHEEZING)

Apocalypse Calypso:

I do like this, still don't love it though

30 Secondes:

The sound is a bit too cheesy for me I think

The chorus IS nice ok

This is sth I'd listen to on repeat if I was in the right mood but would never admit

("You're like a bomb" um ok)

(He's talking about heaven and hell again uh-oh)

C'est la Vie:

God I hate this

I'd skip but promised myself I'd listen to the whole thing the way it's intended

Ok I don't HATE it, it just does absolutely nothing for me

Moi, Andy et Paris:

The beginning is so romantic WHAT

Oh this is such a vibe

Absolutely adooore ❤️

Every time he says "Andy" I grow stronger

At the end he sings "I love you but not him" WTF Mika (this was a betrayal by google translate, he is actually saying "I love you but he doesn't" phew)

Je sais que je t'aime:

The whisper part is so cringe I'm sorry

The rest is beautiful

The line "I hope life forgives us even if god has abandoned us" is still the saddest thing on the album for me

Ohhh the strings I loovee

(Every time I think a song is about Andy it turns out to be about his mum. This one is very sad though)

Doucement:

Mhm not sure tbh

I do like the chorus

Not obsessed yet though

(Not sure what or who this is about. Possibly depression and suicide)

Touche Touche:

Finally my fave from the teasers let's go

God this gives me energy, is this gonna replace Touches You as the song I listen to on repeat when I need a mood booster

Omg the sound of loading the gun in the second pre-chorus, this guy is insane

(Pure sensual filth. Like Tomorrow, BBB and Ice Cream combined. I love it)

("Prends ma main pour un slow" a slow what?! :O)

Amour Pirate:

I'm soo curious about these lyrics

Whyy did I learn Italian instead of brushing up on my French

Melody is simple but I'm not hooked (yet)

("Stolen treasure is not catholic" what)

(Aw so sweet, I AM an undiscovered treasure)

(I think he's telling us to take more risks in order to find love and he might not be wrong)

Passager:

Again nice but more about the lyrics I think

I wasn't expecting this many ballads

An unusually soft Mika album (not complaining)

I do wonder how that's gonna translate to a gig though since they are usually so high energy

Did he just say "Je parle francais et anglais"?! I'm dead (I found out later he does not, he says "un anglais")

MIKA ALBUM NAME DROP AND ITS NOT HORRIFIC THANK FUCKKKK

[youngestdaughteroftheuniverse]

Just finished listening to the new Mika's album. It was so fucking good ! I'm so happy ! I think my favorite from the album will be 'Je sais que je t'aime'. Can't wait to see it on next year Spotify Wrapped lol.

[grunge-mermaid]

still not over "run your hand down my back and take me anywhere as long as I fall on my knees"

Bon Soir 💙🎤🆕️ 💙

Mika 🎶 C'est la vie

(Que ta tête fleurisse toujours)

[runbymachinesandclones]

Allez vas-y, embrasse-moi

Mon cœur n'est libre que pour toi

Vas-y devant tout le monde

On change nos vies en 30 secondes

Forçons la main au destin

Qui sait où on sera demain

Vas-y devant tout le monde

On change nos vies en 30 secondes

Tout pourrait commencer en 30 secondes

Ou pourrait s'arrêter en 30 secondes

N'attends pas, n'attends pas

Devant tout le monde

On change nos vies en 30 secondes

Rester loin, ne pas toucher

Y a cent mille raisons

On va pas écouter de toute façon

30 secondes pour toute une vie

On va payer cher

Ce bout de paradis mis en enfer

Sweetie banana isn't a eurovision song in the traditional sense (i.e. it was not in eurovision) but, like, come on
