Le Mika's Happiness

I adore Mika. And no, not because he is adorable, but because he makes wonderful smart happy music that makes you want to dance and cheers you up instantly. I have to admit though, I was pretty confused at his concert last night. My feelings kept yoyoing from 'omg I want to adopt him' to 'omg I wanna marry him'. It was kind of freaky, but I still managed to have an excellent time. If you haven't heard his music yet, check out his hit single Grace Kelly:



Going to Mika's concert was the perfect end to the day I quit my job. I am finally moving to New York this summer and the day I told work happened to be the day of the gig. It felt like confirmation from the universe that I was on the right path. After a long monotone day at the office, I watched Mika dance, sing, laugh and smile. I watched him in his happy place at work and knew that, I too, want to find work which makes me that happy and live in a city which feels like home.

Love, Breens

P.S.
I included the Grace Kelly lyrics below, I thought some of you may be able to identify. Other Mika songs to check out are Love Today, Relax - Take It Easy and Happy Ending.

Grace Kelly by Mika

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!
