every time I hear this I just think how lucky his boyfriend is because like, could you even imagine someone writing such a beautiful masterpiece like this about you?
Not a long time ago, Mika has said he wrote that song at the time they were not together with Andri. And also that Andri regrets it - your best love song ever and you did it when we were separated... I do understand him :-)
[Verse 1] Love is a drug, and you are my cigarette Love is addiction, and you are my Nicorette Love is a drug, like chocolate, like cigarettes I'm feeling sick, I've gotta medicate myself up Ah I want your love, don't try and stop me Can't get enough, still hanging on me Your guilty heart, don't let it break you And if you pray, well no one's gonna save you Like every one that your fear And every thing you hold dear Even the book in your pocket You are the sun and the light You are the freedom I fight God will do nothing to stop it The origin is you You're the origin of love [Verse 2] Love is a drug, and you are my cigarette Love is addiction, and you are my Nicorette Love is a drug, like chocolate, like cigarettes I'm feeling sick, I've gotta medicate myself Well, if God is a priest, and the devil a slut Well that's a reason for nothing Like every word that you preach Like every word that you teach With every rule that you breach You know the origin is you Chorus] From the air I breathe, to the love I need Only thing I know You're the origin of love From the God above, to the one I love Only thing that's true, the origin is you From the air I breathe, to the love I need Only thing I know, you're the origin of love From the God above, to the one I love Only thing that's true, the origin is you [Verse 3] Padre nostrum, deus machismo Padre deus, deus machismo Dione madre, deus machismo Deus esso sancto spirito Like stupid Adam and Eve They found their love in a tree God didn't think they deserved it He taught them hate, taught them pride Gave them a leaf, made them hide Let's push the stories aside You know the origin is you [Chorus] From the air I breathe, to the love I need Only thing I know, you're the origin of love From the God above, to the one I love Only thing that's true, the origin is you From the air I breathe, to the love I need Only thing I know, you're the origin of love From the God above, to the one I love Only thing that's true, the origin is you Bridge] Some love's a pill, and some love is a candy cane It tastes so sweet, but leaves you feeling sick with pain Your love is air, I breathe it in around me Don't know it's there, but without it I'm drowning You're the origin of love Ay-oh-ay-oh-ah You're the origin of love, love, love, love, love (Thank God that you found me) You're the origin of love, love, love, love, love (Thank God that you found me) You're the origin of love, love, love, love, love (Thank God that you found me) You're the origin of love, love, love, love, love (Thank God that you found me) You're the origin of love, love, love, love, love (Thank God that you found me) You're the origin of love, love, love, love, love Thank God that you found me Thank God that you found me Thank God that you found me
+Johanna Johannais Thasnks! Wow... even Cinese? What a brain he has XD I only speak Spanish (my native tongue), English (I'm a teacher), and very little of Italian and Portuguese. :P
+Johanna Johannais I tried Japanese and I stopped studying it because it was REALLY hard, I had no teacher, and no classmates... A good teacher is necessary.
He does speak Spanish, but not as fluently as italian and he hasn't practised it in years so I guess it's a bit rusty. The bridge of Live your Life is in Spanish, and you can find some interviews he gave in Spanish on RU-vid.
He wrote this arrangement in 2 a.m. in Montreal, with -25° C, in the master conductor's house. He never imagined he ever could sing this song with an orchestra, because, when he sings this song, he imagines himself on the horse, like a spot for cigarettes (Marlboro), and then he added with smile: "please, they (Tv operators) don't put this phrase on video" (sorry for my bad english)
