Hearing this song and being actually on set when this was filmed, was incredible and a moment I will never forget. Mika is an incredible performer and feel incredibly privileged to have spent the day with him, along with my collection of mannequins.
This is the first ballad I have truly loved in over 20 years. This song has torn down the protective walls around my heart and softened my heart, as well. After hearing this song only a few times, I have once again allowed myself to be vulnerable to the world. I am freed. Freed to trust and to care deeply. Thank you, Mika, for having created this song. You have a tremendous gift of artistry, creativity. Your music has changed me for the better. thank you.
good LORD this song is wonderful. so much passion. and put so eloquently. it never ceases to put a tear in my eye. thanks so much for posting the life version!!!
this song is so beautiful, I can listen it over and over again. And evrytime I listen it I fall in love over end over again with Mika, his voice and this song. If is that even possible!! Thank you Mika
I can really relate to this song right now. It's very hard. So sad. Nice to know though that someone as awesome as Mika has been through the same thing.
Its a song talking about the way you always see that person that your in love with. You see them everyday but dont have the courage to talk to them because you know they may laugh at you. Hence "You could be cruel to me so im not risking the way that I see you". You could be mean to me so im just going to carry on seeing you without talking to you
I don't get the whole mannequin thing, but this video is simply perfect. Mika sings so beautifully and the song is sublime (my fave from the new album!!). Has anyone noticed that the music is exactly the same as it is on the CD? I know he never lipsyncs, but this sounds a bit like erhm.. piano-sync to me!
Ooh, nice :) Have a goood time, it's a 2hr drive from here to London though :| It was amazing, he kept us entertained the whole way through, telling us stories about his past gigs, and then there was projected shadows of people in massive rabbit costumes doing dirty things onto a white screen then lifted the white screen up to reveal it was the band and then they came out and sang, nearly every song had a prop :) I'll go read up on that, havent seen it x
I'm very lucky that I've never have a one-side love... Maybe that's why I never understood why people scared of it... But after listening to this song, I can feel it. The passion, the love and the pain, very truthful... :) Mika, you're really a lyric genius ! Thank you, Mika. Love you :*
when the hell is he going to release this song already ?!?! THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING SONG EVERRRR ON THE MILKY WAY !!! well maybe "happy ending" is....... ;)
thank you for pouring your heart into this song! but...how many "victims" you "hit" with it? i'm sure many!!! who is going to "pick up" their hearts "from the floor"?......who cares about others!... who is going to pick up mine?
Yeah, it's exactly the same, note perfect, as the CD album, he plays live at his gigs though, I went in 2007 and he screwed up 'My Interpretation' and admitted to it :D Which date in February? 28th? I'm going to the Hammersmith Apollo :)
