If you want to hear an amazing artist and catch a glimpse of our generation's Freddy Mercury, check out Mika's debut album "Life in Cartoon Motion." My favorite songs on it are "Grace Kelly," "Billy Brown," "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)," "Happy Ending," and just about every other song on the album.
SERIOUSLY. He's pretty much my new best friend. It's AWESOME.

i wonder if this guy is a pitcher or a catcher.
i've liked what i heard so far. thanks for the tip.
hrm. so i just downloaded the album and am a few songs in. i see a LOT of queen themes. "big girl [you are beautiful]" screams "fat bottomed girl".
reminds me a lot of elton john, rufus wainwright, and freddie mercury. also a little bit of max bemis. i'm not sure how i feel about the album YET because he's kind of... whiney.
"love today" came on and i like the disco feel. also love the falsetto all throughout.
thanks for the tip. i like him.
wow. i said 'thanks for the tip' in both comments. unintentionally...
i'm not sure how i feel about that.
:) slash :(
woooooouldn't say he is this generation's freddie mercury.
it bothers me people are labeling him as that...
i think "love today" is my favorite track so far.
holy shit awesome refrain.
love
LOVE
ME
oh my god does this remind me of matt walsh
oh my god i can see him loving this album and singing it or whistling it or something
OH MY GOD I CAN SEE JESS DOING THE SAME THING AND THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME LOL
oh god oh god oh god
i don't know the words.

THIS IS HOW I LIKE TO SPEND MY EVENINGS
it's two thirty in the morning. all of my friends have school tomorrow, i don't. i was just upstairs watching futurama with my brother as we looked for food in the kitchen. we found nothing. my brother decided he would make a tuna fish sandwich. i grabbed a bottle of water. we talked about my dancing grandfather. then i came down, uploaded the album and gave it to some folks, and posted it on a couple forums. now i am figuring out the lyrics to a song. and just dancing. and. i. love. this. and haven't. done. it. in. a while.

BIG MUSTACHE
i envision me in a disco ballroom with all of the people i like right now
and this song makes me the number one fool breaking it down
i am currently crafting what this song means to me
so now when i hear this song
i will think of tuna fish, aqua teen hunger force, missing my friends henry and cc, disco dancing, and starcraft
and DAYS right before SCHOOL starts again
and when my brother is home
yes yes
yes
big mustache.
and now when you guys hear this song
you will think of patrick, partying on the garage
with disco lights, smoke, non-alcoholic beverages, and chocolate cigars
i know i will play this song out come tomorrow morning
but wutevs
this is like a hatrick in hockey this song
going through a party, all familiar faces on the dance floor
you like the way you look. you worked out earlier this morning, took a shower. ate some pancakes. looking fine. DAYUM who's that fox walking across the DANCE FLOOR? oh yeah it's you.
familiar faces. smiling back. sharing drinks. high fives. winks. smiles.
oh what's this! yr so fine they make a circle around you. you get nervous. you don't know how to DANCE!?!?!??! oh no. you dance. and your friends laugh. and join you.
they all clap and laugh and smile and keep on dancing as you fucking melt the floor with your dance moves. holy shit the roof is on fire and oh my god the automatic sprinklers go off BUT THE PARTY
GOES
ON...............
time for a break. go to the bar. get some 7-UP! and you may not even like 7-UP but HOT DAMN THE ROOF IS ON FUCKING FIRE.
go to the bathroom. there's an old guy with a towel there waiting for you when you get out of the stall. he winks at you with those old man eyes. gives you some gum. and says "go get'em tiger." and you are oh my god ready to tear shit up AGAIN.
you dance. time stops. fucking dance the night away. but the night doesn't even end. moon shining bright into the dance room because the roof has broken in. everyone has soot on them but it's funny because everyone looks like they're black. so this makes you believe you are an even better dancer. dance for hours. smile for hours. oh my god lights out. wake up. DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
[take me with you]
oh man. think of this when you listen to this song. yr days will be fucking championship.

:lost in a song:
big rocket ship takes you up into space and all of your problems deteriorate as the ship shoots through the atmospheres. there are no problems if you don't exist.
everyone everyone will listen, even if it hurts sometimes. [if you will, can you hear my message]
everyone needs to learn to love again, open up and come alive [if you will, can you hear my message]
do you think that you have that in you/take a chance 'cause i know you want to
if only you'll hold on just hold on
i'm here and i'm with you
i'm here too, i feel you
[we'll get through]
i know this i've seen it
a hundred times a thousand times
just one more time
with you and i, i'll pull you close
and then we'll say goodbye
[i'm with you and i never thought it would have turned out this way]
oh don't mind me.
love love me
-i can see the sun coming over the horizon-
don't look back [ you can never look back ]
feel the grass on your bare feet and let it remind you of the times when you had grass stains on your nice pants. and remember coming home that night feeling great and thinking about that night months later and crying.
don't look back.
feel the grass on your bare feet and look up at your new friends in a new town with a new style with a new pair of pants. in a town where they don't cry because no one hurts you. and if you cried they would hurt you...
i'm sry i have to say it but it looks like yr sad. yr smile is gone, i've noticed it bad. the CURE is just to let in just a little more love. i promise you this: a little's enough.
it hurts
love love me
start the machine
gas is low
but get out of here while you can
don't look out the window
you might crash
don't think about it
you might cry
YOU KNOW what it's like to believe [it makes me want to scream]
'cause yr the person i want to STAAAAAAAAAAY up WIIIIIIIITH and listening to SOOOOOONGS and talking about our FEEEEEEEEELINGS and how much we LOOOOOOOOOVE each OOOOOOTHER but those nights won't EEEEEVER come because i'm MOOOOOOOOVING away.
i [will] listen
then say it and i [will] listen
yuo were standing on a hill (i was on the phone with hell)
the ash set in and blew away, it's getting lost into the sea
can't say the words on the tip of my tongue
love love me
love love me
it hurts
hurt hurt me
hurt hurt me
love love me
love LOVE me
a blend of fear and passion
you know what it's like to believe?
it makes me want to scream.
oh man what a night
i finally fell asleep at like five
now my cleaning lady is coming
this is my comment section officially
and i'm edging one hundred
SIX FEET FROM THE EDGE AND I'M THINKING:
MAYBE SIX FEET
AIN'T SO FAR DOOOOOWN
then say it, i will listen
i wanna have the same last dream again, the one where i wake up and i'm alive
i'm the first to know, my dearest friends:
even if your hope has burned with time, anything that's dead shall be re-grown and your vicious pain, your warning sign
you will be fine
here we goooooooooo life's waiting to begin
i cannot live i can't breathe unless you do this with me
i cannot live i can't breathe unless you do this with me
i cannot live i can't breathe unless you do this with me
i cannot live i can't breathe unless you do this with me
i cannot live i can't breathe unless you do this with me
i cannot live i can't breathe unless you do this with me
i cannot live i can't breathe unless you do this with me
i cannot live i can't breathe unless you do this with me
i cannot live i can't breathe unless you do this with me

i cannot live i can't breathe unless you do this with me
[iiiiiiiiiiiiii caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan't brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeatheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]
HEYO, here i am [do this with me]
here we go, life's waiting to begin
whyyyy won't you tellllllll me that ittttttt's aaaalllllllmost ooooooooooverrrrrrrrrr
why must this tear my head INSIDE OUT
oh sweet jesus incantations
there's a moment in my mind i've scribbled and erased a thousand times like a letter never written or sent...
these conversations with the dead, i used to be a sentimental guy, now i'm haunted by the left unsaid
little things you said and did are part of me and come out from time to time, PRAWLY no one i know now would notice
i never thought SO MUUUUUCH could change
[you drifted faaaar aaaaaaaaway]
[far awwwwway it seems, the time is stopped, the clock keeps going]
boxcar
SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS BRAVE
I WISH I WAS STRONGER
I WAS I COULD FEEL NO PAIN
I WISH I WAS YOUNG
I WISH I WAS SHY
I WISH I WAS HONEST
I WISH I WAS YOU NOT I
CAUSE I FEEEEEEL SO MAAAAAAAAAD
I FEEL SO ANGRY
I FELL SO CALLUSED
SO LOST, CONFUSED AGAIN
I FEEL SO CHEAP, SO USED, UNFAITHFUL
LET'S START OVER, LET'S START OOOOOOOOOOVER
CUT IT OUT
your self-afflicted pain is getting too routine, the crowds are catching on to the self-afflicted songs
well HERE WE GO AGAIN the art of acting weak, FALL IN LOVE TO FAIL just to boost your cd sales
and that cd sales! YEAH what a hit! you got to repeat it. YOU GOTTA SINK TO SWIM.
if first, at first you don't succeed, you gotta recreate your misery 'cause we all know art is hard, young artists - they gotta starve! try and fail and try again , the comfort of repetition - keep churnin' out those hits 'til they're all the SAME OLD SHIT
AND AS IT DRIBBLES DOWN HIS CHIN, HE CRIES: BABY I'VE BEEN DRINKING WITH SOME FRIENDS, NOW HOW ABOUT A LITTLE KISS?
DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO
I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A LOVER, ALL THOSE LOVERS ARE LIARS - I'D NEVER LIE TO YOU
YOU SAY YOU WANNA GET EVEN, YEAH YUO WANNA GET YR BAD MAN GOOD, WELL ARE YOU IN THE MOOD?
YOU BAAAAAD GIRRRRRRRL, DOES IT FEEEEEL GOOD? BEING BAD. IT GETS WORSE...
and on the morning, on the silver dawn of sunday, you're not sure what you have done. who told you love was fleeeeeeting, sometimes men can be so misleeeeeading to take what they need from you
wahtever you need to make you feel that you've been the one behind the wheel, the sunrise is just over that hill - the worst is over
whatever i said to make you think that love's the religion of the week, this morning we love like weaklings - the worst is over
do do do do do do do do do [the worst is over]
do do do do do do do do do [the worst is over]
weatherman, do you feel?, DO YOU FEEL? is it stormy inside of your veins?
IN HIS HEAD, IT'S LIKE THE WEATHER IN HIS HEAD IT'S LIKE THE WEATHER IN HIS HEAD IT'S LIKE THE WEATHER OOOOOOOH BACK AND FORTH IT'S LIKE THE WEATHER BACK AND FORTH IT'S LIKE THE WEATHER BACK AND FORTH IT'S LIKE THE WEATHER
WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS DOWN
now i can hardly get myself out of the bed [for fear of] never lying in this bed again
now i can hardly get myself out of the bed [for fear of] never lying in this bed again
now i can hardly get myself out of the bed [for fear of] never lying in this bed again
now i can hardly get myself out of the bed [for fear of] never lying in this bed again
now i can hardly get myself out of the bed [for fear of] never lying in this bed again
let go let go please let me be
park time
:technical guitar intro:
a voice saaaaaays
don't bother screaming
day one has come and gone away
served on this diet of needles and knives, convincing myself to STAY ALIVE [are these the EYELIDS you tried to save]
we all know waht goes on, we know jsut what you've done. is it even worth it to say i'm sorry just becasue? it's the SIMPLE THINGS I MISS, IN SPITE OF ALL OF THIS, is it even worth it to say i'm sorry JUST MOOOOVE ON
me and john rode out from ocean heading east, i had to see with my own eyes the factories
i'm bugging out, we've never strayed this far
hey hey hey HEEEEEEEEY
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
wheeeeeeeew
don't you
forget about me
[when there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire]
god that was strange to see you again, introduced by a friend of a friend. SMILED and said: yes, i think we've met before, in that instant it started to pour.
captured a taxi despite all the rain, we rode in silence across point champlain, and all of the time you thought i was sad, i was trying to remember your name
this scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin, tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in. now you're outside me, yuo see all the beauty, repent all yr sin
it's nothing but time and a face that you lose, i choose to feel it and you couldn't choose. i'll write you a postcard, i'll send you the news from a house down the road from REAL LOVE
[live through this, and you won't look back]
[live through this, and you won't look back]
[live through this, and you won't look back]
there's one thing i want to say, so i'll be brave. you weren't waht i wanted, i gave what i gave. i'm not sorry i met you, i'm not sorry it's over, i'm not sorry there's nothing to say...
i'm not sorry there's nothign to say...
j.c. what a beautiful song
amirite? henry
oh man i want to type out failing, flailing
but it's so long, and i am hungry
i am rereading my comments now and holy crap i'm a jerk ;)
yr LIPSTICK his COLLAR don't bother ANGEL
I KNOW EXACTLY WAHT GOES ON
so tell me:
how long do you think oyu can go before you lose it all, before they call yr bluff and watch yuo fall
i dunno but i like to think i had control at some point but i let it go and lost my soul
sit tight, but the revolution's years away, i'm losin' faith and i'm runnin' low on things to say.
so i guess i have no choice but to regurgitate the tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite.
ooooooooooooh to have died that night i realized it wouldn't last. our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass, the final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed
OOOOOOOOOh to the west you don't know what it is yr running from and everybody's laughing loud - the last chance to make yr mother and yr father prrroud.
a moment of silence, please, for those who never get the chance. they show up to the party, but they're never at the dance: the losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves, the cynicists, the pessimists, and those who don't believe in nothing...
they said "a pox
upon your house
upon your family and everyone you ever knew and everyone you'll ever meet"
i bet they think we wish we joined when we could but we do what we want we don't do what we should
now everybody's laughing because they're thinking they're in on something i don't get - don't forget i connected and i read every word you said like a child who believes he was wronged
if you hate me so much then STOP SINGING MY SONGS
and when you wake up, everything is going to be fine. i guarantee that you wake in a better place, in a better time. so when yr tired of living, you feel like you might give in - well don't. [it's not yr time]
if everyone has someone else, then i ain't got nobody's love to save me (save me), i think i'll pass away tonight because it seems i'll never get it right if it's just me
and even if it was, no, i wouldn't let you go, you could run run run run but i will follow close
someday you will say "that's it, that's all" but i'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
i know that you think that you're on your own, but just know that I'm here and i'll lead you home
if you let me
she said "forget me"
but i can't
sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me, and it's been years, but still i fear that someday they'll desert me, oh it's hard, i know, when it's time to stand alone and no one understands you
i'm TRYING and i'm TRYING and i'm TRYING and i'm TRYING to LET GO
EVERYBODY'S GOING DOWN TONIGHT
ALL I KNOW NOW IS THAT I'VE GOTTA DO SOMETHING
RIGHT?
this has been the best night of my life, this has been the best night of my life i could've lost my life and i would have lost my mind, but now i'm fine, i'm fine, and this has been the best night of my life
this has been the best night of my life [still can't believe you had the heart to apologize], this has been the best night of my life [still can't believe you had the heart to apologize]and i would have lost my mind, but now i'm fine, i'm fine, and this has been the best night of my life
and as they day breaks, no one investigates, nobody answers when she calls his name
ANOTHER VICTIM SOMEWHERE IN A SHALLOW GRAVE, i wanna hold her and tell her it's not her fault
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
oh christ 130 comments
i am goign to get food nwo

oh yeah and if anyone read all of this, kudos
and since i want to land on an even number...
I’m on my knees and I’ll never get up again
With the view so good, I promise, I’ll never bend
I can’t hold on, but I’ll still try
I’m still here, but I can’t tell you why
Annie says: she's tired of forgetting about today and always planning for tomorrow, tomorrow Annie says: "The saddest day I came across is when I learned that life goes on without me, without me." Annie says: "I think I'll pass away tonight 'cause things are never getting right it's just me, JUST REALITY!"
Annie says she wouldn't mind if they never find a cure for all her problems, her problems. Annie says: as long as she has someone near, magically she doesn't need to solve them, to solve them. Annie says: "Oh this lonliness is killing me, it's filling me with resentment, resentment." Annie says: I'm turning into some that I thought I'd never have to be again."
that song means so freakin much to me
that song means so freakin much to me
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend.
You could cut ties with all the lies/lives that you've been living in and
IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE ME AGAIN I WOULD UNDERSTAND
I WOULD UNDERSTAND!!!
Everybody would waste it all
To have a summer that they could call
Memories that're full of fun
Fucked up when they're all done
all we need is a little bit of momentum
to break down these walls we've built around ourselves
all we need is a little bit of inertia
break down and tell, break down and tell
Oh we knew we had the good things but they never seemed to last
oh please just last!
i will avenge my ghost WITH EVERY BREATHE I TAKE
Taking on seven years that holy ghost had left alone. Test my arms, kick like crazy and I've been trying way too hard.
Only pushed away off to fight you.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm not sure
GETTING OFF MY CHEST, THE STORY ENDS
I WOULD FIND A WAY WITHOUT YOU
I WOULD FIND A WAY WITHOUT YOU
MY MISTAKE WAS GOLD
I KNOW THAT WITHOUT YOU IS SOMETHING THAT I COULD NEVER DO
THAT WAS WHY, STAPLE THE EYES AND SEVEN DATES FOR ME TO SELL MACHINES AND TEAR ON
good show henry
--SAOSIN--
IF YOU KEEP ASKING ME I'LL MELT AWAY IN THE SUMMER AIR
IT WON'T HURT HALF AS MUCH AND I BEG OF YOU, PLEASE STOP IT
IF YOU KEEP ASKING ME I'LL MELT AWAY IN THE SUMMER AIR
IT WON'T HURT HALF AS MUCH AND I BEG OF YOU, PLEASE TELL ME SOMETHING
there's something i want to say, so i'll be brave, you know what i wanted, i gave what i gave, i'm not sorry i met you, im not sorry it's over, i'm not sorry there's nothing to save

he spends his nights in california watching the stars on the big screen and then he lies awake and he wonders: why can't that be me
if i could be like that, i would give anything just to live one day in those shoes
if i could be like that, what what i do?
NOW I'LL FOLLOW MYYY OWWWWWN WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAY AND I'LL LIVE OOOOOON TO ANOHTER DDDDAMN DAY
I stopped reading your comments BUT. I really don't think Mika is whiny at all.
I think the words to the songs are crystal clear. I know what he's saying. At least, I think I do.
when i say whiney, i am not talking about clarity
if I'M JUST BAD NEWS
livin' risky, never scared
im so jaded
calculated
WRONG
please take me home
to late, it's gone
i bet your sad
this is the best time we've ever had
i hope HOPE that it lasts
livin' risky, never scared
WHY WON'T YOU TELL ME THAT IT'S ALMOST OOOOOOOOOOOVER
you make me laugh
i don't really get the whiney part either
