年幼的mika喜欢音乐,喜欢在歌曲中说故事。对音乐的爱好,加上他在皇家音乐学院(royal college of music)受到的专业训练,让他刚刚露脸就顶着了音乐天才的光环。2006年9月,mika在bbc radio 1崭露头角,旋即,在bbc网站的2007年度之声民意调查中,他获得的选票最多。
mika的首支单曲《relax, take it easy》被bbc radio 1播放,并受到知名dj的推崇。2007年1月8日,环球唱片发行了他的单曲《grace kelly》,这首歌很快占据英国单曲榜的冠军位置。2007年2月5日,mika乘胜追击,发行了自己的首张专辑《life in cartoon motion》,他的音乐融合了舞曲,funk,流行和其他的元素。在很短的时间内,他模糊的私生活和音乐才华迅速地为他打开了知名度,人们谈起他时,总是把他和freddie mercury, george michael, scissor sisters, rufus wainwright和elton john相提并论。
Took a right to the end of the line
Where no one ever goes.
Ended up on a broken train with nobody I know.
But the pain and the (longings) the same.
(Where the dying
Now I’m lost and I’m screaming for help.)
Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.
It’s as if I’m scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
It’s as if I scared.
It’s as if I’m playing with fire.
Scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?
Relax
There is an answer to the darkest times.
It’s clear we don’t understand but the last thing on my mind
Is to leave you.
I believe that we’re in this together.
Don’t scream – there are so many roads left.
Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.
Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.
Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.
Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.
It’s as if I’m scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
It’s as if I scared.
It’s as if I’m playing with fire.
Scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?
