175. Any Other World – Mika (2008)


This is another example of a song that I first heard in a US TV series and loved instantly. As I am sure I’ve said before the Americans are so much better at utilising mainstream music in their dramas and they usually find songs which are often subconsciously being used in the background without the viewer even noticing. Often I don’t notice background music so much but I did hear the song
‘I Only Have Eyes For You’ being gently played in the background of a scene in the Ridley Brothers ‘The Good Wife’ on Channel 4 where the lead characters (who have been struggling with wanting to rekindle a university relationship many years later) were getting close to making something happen.

This song was in ‘Brothers and Sisters’ this week and is now on my ipod and has been played many times already.

Mika reminds me of Donovan (in some ways) but this song is wonderfully performed and recorded. I particularly like the use of the strings and the lyrics
‘Say Goodbye to the world you thought you lived in….’

Now listen to the song….
