You know that I adored ya...
Aug. 17th, 2010 11:56 amThere's a girl, thought she knew
What her life was going to do
Then she goes and falls in love and throws it all away
But her man can't decide
If he's made the right choice in life
So she comes home only to find he's gone away
Put your heart back in your pocket
Pick your love up off the floor
Well, your mama says to stop it
But, girl, let me tell you more
If he's 95 or 22
Boy's gonna do what he's gonna do
He says he don't love you anymore
So, pick up off the floor
Walks around an empty town
Sees his face coming around
Every corner takes on a similar stay
Love is lost, love can burn
But your luck will return
But if you're driving it down you won't know it's there
Put your heart back in your pocket
Pick your love up off the floor
Well, your mama says to stop it
But, girl, let me tell you more
If he's 95 or 22
Boy's gonna do what he's gonna do
He says he don't love you anymore
So, pick up off the floor
~ Pick Up Off The Floor
I'm sitting across from you
And dreaming of the things I'd do
I don't speak; you don't know me at all
For fear of what you might do
I say nothing, but stare at you
And I'm dreaming, I'm tripping over you
Truth be told, my problem's old
You mean the world to me, but you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
While risking the way
That I see you
That I see you
That I see you
That I see you
Conversation's not me at all
I'm hesitating only to fall
And I'm waiting, I'm hating everyone
Could it be you fell for more?
In any possible similiarity
If it's so, how would I know?
You'll never know me at all
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you
I'm standing across from you
I've dreamt alone, now dreams won't do
But I see you...

The greatest thing about Mika is that he understands people. He's perceptive and intuitive and clever and talented, and his songs reflect that beautifully. He gets it. He understands human emotion perfectly, and the way people work, and he can encompass all that in a 4-5 minute song and give it such poignancy and impact. It's incredible, and these songs are just two examples of that.
He is so dead-on it's actually scary.
What really drew me to Mika in the first place was the way in which he creates. His lyrics are ridiculously good, but that's not even factoring in the way he puts them to music. It's staggering, actually; I love the way he can create a song with words and intent that are agonizing and bittersweet, quite serious, and then pair them up with an upbeat, floaty melody. It just drives the point home so much better than if he were to simply match the lyrics up to a ballad. And then, when he does create a ballad? Chills all down my back.
He's just -- he's so fucking talented! I feel absolutely blessed by his music, and, hell, we've only received two albums from him. Here's hoping for many more!
I LOVE MIKA!
