MIKA

Biografia di Mika

Mika è nato a Beirut, 18 agosto 1983, in Libano, da madre libanese maronita e padre statunitense. La sua famiglia si trasferì a Parigi quando era molto piccolo a causa della guerra e in seguito al rapimento di suo padre e il suo trattenimento nell'ambasciata Americana in Kuwait. All'età di nove anni Mika si trasferì a Londra, dove ha frequentato il Lycèe Français Charles de Gaulle, la Westminster School e, per tre anni, il Royal College of Music. In questi anni inizia ad aver problemi a scuola per via della dislessia, che riesce a superare verso i 17 anni.
Mika iniziò a comporre canzoni sin da piccolo, spaziando tra vari generi, ma fu solo attraverso una pagina di MySpace che potè farsi conoscere finchè un discografico, nel 2006, gli propose un contratto per pubblicare il suo primo singolo nel 2007: Grace Kelly.
Grazie al suo primo singolo estratto dal suo album Life in Cartoon Motion si parla di lui perchè la sua estensione vocale somiglia molto a quella di Freddie Mercury, ma solo grazie al falsetto, mentre mercury era capace di raggiungere tali altezza di suono con l'ausilio della voce di testa.

We Are Golden - Mika

We Are Golden è un brano musicale del cantante Mika, estratto come primo singolo dal suo secondo album in studio The Boy Who Knew Too Much.

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No givin up when you’re young and you want some

Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running

Waking up in the midday sun
What’s to live for?
You could see what I’ve done
Staring at emotion
In the light of day
I was running from the things that you’d say

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
(We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden)

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running
(repeat)

I was a boy at an open door
Why you staring
Do you still think that you know?
Looking for treasure
In the things that you threw
Like a magpie
I live for glitter, not you

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
(We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden)

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Now I’m sitting alone
I’m finally looking around
Left here on my own
I’m gonna hurt myself
Maybe losing my mind
I’m still wondering why
Had to let the world let it bleed me dry

We are not what you think we are (x3)
We are golden, we are golden

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running
(repeat)

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
