#mikassounds #now. please understand. this is not to say i HATE any of these songs. a LOT of them are very closely vying for second and third place for m #i just had to put them in separate spots. i LOVE this album. #the lyrics are so so good and it just hits so hard in places #passager is so. #and amour pirate. 'dit-moi a quoi ça sert d'être comme un trésor que personne n'adore' OUGHJGHG #it's so simple but it HITS. yeah :((( c'est VRAI que parfois je me sens comme un trésor que personne n'adore!!! rrrrrghh #i loooove bougez man. that BRIDGE. heavenly. #not a lot of proper bridges on this album! but the few we do get are so so good #the one in bougez is my favourite part of the song. and c'est la vie's bridge. i mean. chef's fucking KISS #anyway all in all 8/10 i do think they all sounded kinda samey #but fortunately it was a good samey #and the lyrics more than make up for any melodic repetitiveness :]

me, listening to last party for the first time: eh, it's alright. great vocals as always, emotional lyrics, but all in all nothing to scream about

mika: oh btw this song was inspired by freddie mercury finding out he was hiv positive and allegedly holing himself up in a nightclub for several days as a reaction :)

me, listening to last party a second time, imploding and crying and falling apart: OHho holy fcuk. holy fucking shit

yknow mika's kinda problematic imo.... i mean c'mon... says shit like "we are all in the gutter, doesn't change who we are, cause some of us in the gutter are looking up at the stars" and "i was a boy at an open door, why are you staring, do you still think that you know?" and "my name is michael holbrook, i was born in 1983, maybe i'm losing my mind, it's just this thing that you do to me" and "waking up in the midday sun, what's to live for when you could see what i've done? staying out of motion in the light of day, i was hiding from the things that you'd say" and "and to my heroes all dressed up in gold, only hoping one day i could be so bold" and "we are not what you think we are, we are golden, we are golden" and just... saying all that shit and expecting me to just be okay?? expecting every queer kid listening to be okay?? kinda fucked up of him idk :/ /j

mika, in one of the greatest songs ever written: do i attract you, do i repulse you, with my queasy smile?

human brain: he means a dashing, sort of off-kilter devil-may-care grin, like bad-boy style

monkey brain: 🥴
