When my 13 year old daughter was planning her own funeral , this was what she included in her “ playlist” of her favourite songs. When she died, there was so much family opposition to it being played, but in the end her wishes were respected . As her Mum , I had never heard of it before , but we had it playing at the end of the funeral , as her coffin was being carried out of the church . Every time I hear it now, it takes me back to that day , it never fades. But the song is awesome , and the lyrics are so sadly poignant and amazingly apt. My daughter made a beautiful choice in her funeral ending song .
This was my little sisters favourite song, she would play it on repeat for hours on end. She passed away aged 6, we played this as she was laid to rest. Listen to this at least once a day to make it seems like she's still here. Me and my older sister got to meet him as he came into our work one day and he heard about her from a local paper. He gave my mum a signed copy of this song and a hand written note, he is the most kind artist I've met and just that small act helped my mum heal.
My goodness! Have you read my comment below yours, where my daughter ( only 13 ) chose it for one of her funeral songs ? It certainly is a beautiful song especially for a funeral . My sympathy goes out to you. Xxx
its about time, i've grown now and i've found the one song that made me feel so much emotions as a kid. i feel so happy and sad too that i've found it again because of the nostalgia but i'm all here with love! and many great memories
I listened to this when i was at my worst with depression. I am now married with a beautiful wife and 2 beautiful kids. It does not last forever and i wish everyone the very best of luck in thier journey🙂
Reading through some of the comments here makes you realise that this song can have meaning in several different ways, whether it be the break up of a relationship or the loss of a loved one. I think it’s an amazing song, written from the heart, with such simple but easy lyrics. A truly great song. For those in pain rite now, I promise it will pass
To all those who are still listening to this song 💗💗 Don't be afraid to fail, don't waste energy trying to recover up failure instead learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge with more experience. If you're not failing you are not growing
Ezt itthagyom minden magyarnak, aki idetéved, és anno minden szombat este a TV előtt ült, akkor az tudja, hogy mi honnan ismerjük ezt a zenét és miért olyan érzelmes, fontos, emlékezetes nekünk! ❤❤❤
Happy Ending does bring back memories of 2007. Mika in his prime. I noticed how the start of this video brings Sewn by The Feeling to mind. A case of blink and you’ll miss it, as a balloon string winds around Mika’s wrist, before lifting him out of his bed.
This song helped me grieve the loss of my Mother. I was 21. Being 36 today. I'm still writing my happy ending. Truly thank you for this piece of art!!!
this is literally my life story, decided leaving The Netherlands and surrounding after 8 years there 2002-2010, then heading Bali winter 2010 to 2013, etc.
This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending, No hope, no love, no glory, No happy ending This is the way that we love, Like its forever, Then live the rest of our life, But not together Wake up in the morning, Stumble on my life, Can't get no love without sacrifice, If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well, Mmm a little bit of heaven, But a little bit of hell This is the hardest story, That I have ever told, No hope, or love, or glory, Happy endings gone forever more I feel as if I?m wasting, And I waste every day This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending, No hope, no love, no glory, No happy ending This is the way that we love, Like its forever, Then live the rest of our life, Both not together Two o'clock in the morning, Someone's on my mind, Can't get no rest, Keep walking around, If I pretend that nothing ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep I can dream now and just carry on?? This is the hardest story, That I have ever told, No hope, or love, or glory, Happy endings gone forever more, I feel as if I'm wasting, And I waste every day, Oh I feel as if I'm wasting, And I waste every day This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending, No hope, no love, no glory, No happy ending This is the way that we love, Like its forever, Then live the rest of our life, Both not together A little bit of love Little bit of love (repeated) This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending, No hope, no love, no glory, No happy ending This is the way that we love, Like its forever, Then live the rest of our life, Both not together This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending, No hope, no love, no glory, No happy ending This is the way that we love, Like its forever, Then live the rest of our life, Both not together This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending, No hope, no love, no glory, No happy ending
Split up with my girlfriend after seven years. In that time we lived together for four years and lost two pregnancies. We hadn’t spoken for months until two days ago where we finally talked on the phone for four hours. I finally got the closure I needed and so did she. I no longer listen to this song as a sad song but as one of acceptance. Just because there’s no happy ending doesn’t mean there has to be a sad one
This is the way you left me I'm not pretending No hope, no love, no glory No happy ending Wake up in the morning Stumble on my life Can't get no love without sacrifice If anything should happen I guess I wish you well Mm A little bit of heaven A little bit of hell This is the hardest story That I've ever told No hope or love or glory Happy ending's gone forevermore Ahhhh Feel as if i'm wasting And ahhhh Wasted every day This is the way you left me I'm not pretending No hope, no love, no glory No happy ending This is the way that we love Like it's forever And live the rest of our life Both not together Two o'clock in the morning Someone's on my mind Can't get no rest Keep walking around If I pretend that nothing ever went wrong I can get to my sleep I can think that we just carried on This is the hardest story That I've ever told No hope or love or glory Happy ending's gone forevermore Ahhhh Feel as if I'm wasting And ahhhh Wasted every day Oh ahhhh (This is the way you left me I'm not pretending) Feel as if I'm wasting (No hope no love no glory No happy ending) And ahhhh (This is the way that we love Like it's forever) Wasted every day (And live the rest of our life Both not together) Little bit of love (Little bit of love)x7 Little bit of love (Little bit of love)x3 Little bit of love (Little bit of love) Little bit of love It's a bit of love love love (Little bit of love) x3 Feel as if I'm wasting (Little bit of love) 2x Hey hey hey hey (Little bit of love) 3x This is the way you left me I'm not pretending (Background "Little bit of love") No hope, no love, no glory No happy ending This is the way that we love But its forever To live the rest of our life both not together (End Background "Little bit of love") This is the way you left me I'm not pretending No hope, no love, no glory No happy ending Sections in parenthesis are sung by the chorus and occasionally overlap MIKA's voice.
I'm just here after Eurovision. And this song reminds me of an early 2010s pantene shampoo commercial (they used Mika's song as BGM after Natasha's song Unwritten used since late 2000s) Much love from 🇵🇭.
I've been listening to this song for years, and I know it's about a break-up, but I recently lost my younger brother who was only 22 and I’ve begun to attribute a new meaning to these lyrics... no hope, no love, no glory... no happy ending.. indeed.
I love this song. The melody is so beautiful, the lyrics so emotional and the vocals absolutely amazing. The "little bit of love" and final chorus at the end gives me goosebumbs every time. Mika is a fantastic artist who deserves more credit.
It’s when you know that the break up is the right decision for all the right reasons. So, if you love each other enough to know that it’s better to go separate ways, do it with a bang. A bit of tears, some balloons, a gospel choir and no pretending. A bunch of flowers abandoned in laughter.
this song has gotten me through so much, when I lost the two most important people in my life, THIS song got me through it. Not some crappy pop song. Thanks Mika.
I have a question, which you don't have to answer since it's somewhat personal. How do you continue living on when the person you love the most and wish to be with dies? How do I know she's not waiting for me to die as soon as possible so that I can see her smiling face one last time?
LunarRock111 I feel like although you may want to do that the person you love and loves you would you want to live you life to the fullest and have a happy life, they’ll be therefore you at the end, and to them it will feel like no time has passed and they will be in a happy place!
My partner, my love, my everything, cheated on me, and this song speaks to my loss, the grief, the waste, the loss of our future and the hurt, like my heart's been torn out. Sending my little bit of love and helping hands to anyone who might be feeling the same.
Eight years ago, an evening with my best female friend starts exactly with this song and ends up with the birth of our son MIKA seven and a half months later.
my big sister was a huge MIKA fan. When I was little she justed to babysit me. She showed this song and I was so in love with this song. Now, seven years later, she moved out lives far away and has now her own new family. This song really helped me letting her go. This song makes me happy because everytime i hear this song I remeber the nights when we were singing this song together. THANK YOU MIKA for being a huge part of my childhood!
He indeed is a genius. I cried while watching, his music stirs my emotions, but always in such a happy manner, I almost feel like I'm capable of anything when listening to his songs. that's a true artist's touch on a human soul.
This song has played such a huge part in my life. My dad used it for our baby videos, it’s been the soundtrack to almost all our family videos, and it just makes me nostalgic and yearn for earlier, simpler days. Thank you, MIKA for creating such an impactful song for my family.
This song has been such a huge part of my life. I always come back to this when I am going through challenges life holds for me. It makes me feel a little bit sad but hopeful at the same time. Just like his lyrics, there's no ultimate glory or happy ending in life but we continue on life with a little bit of love as the way we are.
because he wrote all of his music. but the sad thing is that no one buys into talent anymore everyone is buying into tiktok trends but i feel like im the few music listeners that actually looks for talent.
cette chanson m'étonnera toujours. Lorsque j'ai commencé à l'écouté je me suis dit, cette chanson est belle, joyeuse et aprés j'ai ecouté vraiment les paroles et la je me suis dit: comment on peux faire une chanson si triste avec une mélodie si joyeuse. Je pense que c'est là le génie de Mika: Mélanger tout, le triste et le joyeux, le profond et le superficiel, le lent et le rapide.
I realised how much I love mikas songs omg I remember when I was little when I was like 6 I think it was in 2009 I listened to his album with my sister so many times omg
Same!! Also borrowed The Boy Who Knew Too Much from my mum, as she loved Mika, and played it so much that, by the time she got it back, it was all scratched and hardly played 😂
I was watching The Voice of France, La plus belle voix and I hadn't any idea that that guy was actually who sang those songs that I was growing up with, It is ridiculous but I have not known him by face.
First time I heard this song. I was a student and my life was so hard. I even had nothing to eat, walked many miles to find someone offering me a lunch. Now I am managing my own business. But everytime I hear it, this song brings me back many years ago
I saw Mika on the 10th November and he was Amazing!! At one point he sang Happy Ending acapella with no microphone, I even got to meet him and take some selfies🥺💕🥳🇬🇧
I've recently told a woman my true feelings for her yet the feelings weren't mutual. Though I was sad that we could've have a life together I was happy that I've got to know of what an amazing woman she is. Thanks for the song Mika. This truly helped with my closure :)
@@GLamoRousCooKie Don't be passive aggressive towards this random dude who had his heart broken and was respectful about it. Obviously more people should be like that but you don't have to make people feel weird about it.
Oh Mika, he just helps me through any periods of life. I could go years without listening to him and yet it's like I never stop when I hear it. Love his music, hope he continues x
This song shows how far all we good people have come, to get together and defeat the bad people. It's a blessing song. I love this song, it cheers me up when I get sad.
I remember loving this song and listening to Mika's albums non-stop throughout my teenage years. I'm 26 now and still cherish the memories his songs brought me. This song makes me feel joy yet sadness at the same time. Not many artists can do that.
I am speechless. I found this song just a few minutes ago( and I just Couldn'T BELIEVE IN ME, MY EYES, AND the POSSIBILITY THAT just happened.) I saw all comments and all of them are so emotional. Everybody has a memory of that song and that made me shocked. 'Cuz I have a memory about that song too. When I was 10, our Tv's popular music channel was playing that song over and over again. I fell in love with that song. But I didn't have a computer to search and find. And also I didn't know English. I couldn't understand the lyrics. So when I got the computer I started to search for songs that I had listened to on that radio channel once. I found them all, except this. Just a melody was in my mind and through the years, I forgot what was like. 3 days ago, I was thinking about my life and I was feeling so hopeless. I said to myself, If I can find that "can not be found" song, I can do anything. Even though I looked at all lists of 2007's and 2006's hits on youtube and Spotify and many sites that I can't remember their name, I couldn't find it in them. But in a list of 2007's hit songs on Spotify, a song started to play. I was going to change it. Then I stopped and started to cry. I am still crying and I am writing down these lines. I hope you guys read that. I need to share that moment who can truly understand my excitement.
So happy for you that you rediscovered this song, and Mika, after so many years. He's an amazing artist who really resonates with so many of us. I'm very excited for you.
When I was in high school 14 years ago, there was a time when I felt my heart drop to the floor and my life was going to die. I hurriedly searched mp3 to play all the music because I wanted to hold on to something, but there was nowhere to lean on. Then, I started to calm down after hearing this song, which I had been recommended and put on the playlist without much thought. I didn't even know the lyrics, but I repeated this song dozens of times, and I was only able to get out of that feeling. After that, whenever I had a really hard time, I was able to come up from the floor listening to this song. This song is a lifesaver for me. Thank you so much to Mika. Please understand that the translation may be awkward. In Korea
Reading the comments really make my heart melt.... I'm crying a lot... but it's a beautiful nostalgia. I think this song makes a lot of us feel like there will be always be better times. Huge hug to you, reading this. :')
Haven’t heard this song for about 14 years. But even as a child with no musical training, this song was a phenomenal competition. Listening back now I am beyond blown away
+Kiara Rawls I think the same. but not only voice, you know when he plays piano, when he hits kind of crazy notes, how he behaves on stage. His manners remind me of Freddie a lot, but he does it naturally. When I look at Adam Lambert I always think that he's pretending, but when I look at Mika I see that he's unique and at the same time naturally similar to Freddie. Maybe it sounds strange, but it's how I see him :)
i just remember loads of songs from my childhood but i didnt know who sang them then i remember how much i loved grace kelly so searched more mika songs and most of them were by mika damn hes amazing
+IxiaClover Exactly, I found Mika through Love Today (felt compelled to look it up after having heard a very small snippet from a pop mashup), checked other songs, recognized them, hadn't even realized as a kid that they were from the same artist.
Superbe, je voyage dans un autre univers en l'écoutant.J'aime tout ce que cet artiste fait, il me permet de rêver et me déconnecter de ce monde qui ne fonctionne plus que par la violence et la méchanceté. Merci Mika.
