Months after releasing the first single off of his next album, “My name is Michael Holbrook”, Mika dropped a follow-up track, “Tiny love”.
Produced Dan Priddy & Mark Crew, the song was written by Mika and David Sneddon. It’s a beautiful ballad with epic sounds that recall some of Queen’s songs.
The surrealist music video, directed by W.I.Z. (Robbie Williams, Ellie Goulding, Kasabian), shows the Lebanese-born star laying on the floor of an apartment with his tall lover.
Speaking of the track, Mika said: “The most important thing in the world is the love we have for those around us, the love others offer us and the love we have for ourselves. That love can feel so massive and yet at the same time it’s so tiny and imperceivable to others. This song is a conscious decision to provoke that emotion”.
Mika’s fifth studio album “My Name is Michael Holbrook” is set for release October 4.
Lyrics:
It’s not a sunrise over canyons shaped like hearts
It isn’t bursting into song in Central Park
It’s not the outline of your face drawn in the stars
It’s a “still-there-Monday-morning” kind of love
There’s no dramatic declarations in the rain
It’s not a love that finds its pleasure after pain
I couldn’t train a bunch of doves to spell your name
It’s a “don’t-know-what-they’re-missing” kind of love
Our kind of love, it gets better every day
Crazy colors in the grey, our love
Tiny love, it’s a tiny love
My life was dull
I used to walk in a different way
But now I’m dancin’, dancin’, dancin’, dancin’
Don’t care who can see me dancin’
Oh, tiny love
Oh, tiny love
Oh, tiny love
This tiny love has spoken
And bigger hearts get broken
(Oh) Tiny love
So small that you can’t find us
The world revolves around us
(Oh) Tiny love
This kind of love, it can’t be no other way
One kind of love blows the other ones away
Some times it’s tough, others think we’re acting strange
But it’s our kind of love, our kind of love
Oh, tiny love
Oh, tiny love
My name is Michael Holbrook
I was born in 1983
No, I’m not losing my mind
It’s just this thing that you do to me
You get me high on a tiny love
You get me high
And if it all goes bad
And our love sits like the sun
I’d give up a hundred thousand loves
For just this one
You get me high on a tiny love
You get me high on a tiny love
It’s not a sunrise over canyons shaped like hearts
It isn’t bursting into song in Central Park
We may be tiny to the world, but in our hearts
We’d be giants with our tiny, tiny love
