do kids these days know about grace kelly by mika
WHAT. IS. THIS. SORCERY.
1. i canât believe there are people in the world who havenât heard this
2. go check out mika heâs great - important to note is that heâs mlm (heâs come out alternately as being gay, bisexual and ânot interested in labelsâ for a while) and a huge amount of his songs are about being mlm so in particular if ya need good mlm artists check him out
Seriously Mika is a gift and sunshine unto this sick sad world
mika is wildly popular in europe but his north american fanbase is like, six people and a napkin, and itâs killing me.Â
ALSO, he came out as bisexual/ânot interested in labelsâ like a decade ago, but much more recently he came out as gay, so heâs gay! his latest album, No Place In Heaven, is almost completely about being gay. itâs got a song abt his sexuality and his religion, a song abt pining for your straight best friend, a song abt the music world that includes the lyrics âwhere have all the gay guys gone?â, a song abt gay and lesbian solidarity, a song abt heterosexual expectations from family, and two songs that are just abt being super ridiculously in love w your partner.
please listen to Mikaâs entire discography because there are a LOT of classics that iâm 100% sure youâve heard at some point in your life, all the love songs are implicitly gay, itâs great, but ESPECIALLY listen to No Place In Heaven (2015).
it always surprises me to remember that mika isnât actually a part of the global populaceâs general consciousness
because his debut album, life in cartoon motion, was such a huge part of my generationâs tween and teen years
like, i guarantee you, you can walk up to any swedish millennial, and they will still know every single line of his song lollipop
it was just a part of our upbringing;
become a crippling anxious mess
develop an attitude problem
and memorize all of mikaâs lollipop
This is the song of his I remember being popular here in Ireland, Love Today!
I LOVE MIKA
Grace Kelly was such a big song for me⊠Itâs hard for me to believe itâs considered an older song now. Bless, Mika. Heâs just a wonderful person.
What a wonderfully nostalgic post! I remember getting Mika's 'cartoon motion' CD when it came out, was that a decade ago?! I fell in love with the infectious beats & bubbly but kinda naughty lyrics. Mika was my soundtrack for a while. I think I was listening to Scissor Sisters & Pink Martini at the same point of time. HAPPY MUSIC MEMORIES! Thank you Tumblr.
