On this Friday, November 17, Mika reveals “Jane Birkin“, one of the songs from his album which will be released on December 1st.
Written during Jane Birkin's lifetime, this song is today transformed into a tribute.
Birkin was an icon of sensuality, she embodied elegance without effort, candor without vulgarity. In this title, I confront nudity, I defend a liberated love, without shame. A love à la Birkin is a sensual, poetic and shameless love. These are also the ingredients of this album
Lyrics
I'm sometimes way too big
Sometimes much too small
I live, often by fading away
no matter where I am
Free, free, free as air
Live, live my way
Free, free, I don't know how to do it
I'm not comfortable in my blue jeans
I dream of a Birkin love
All these looks that kill me
I don't dare get out of the pool
To live my dream to the end:
I would just like to tell myself that I don't care
I'm not comfortable in my blue jeans
I dream of a Jane Birkin love
Tonight I am a dancing child
I am a man who forgets himself
Too bad, if my arms swing
You mock and you laugh
Free, free, free as air
Live, live my way
Free, free, I don't know how to do it
I'm not comfortable in my blue jeans
I dream of a Birkin love
All these looks that kill me
I don't dare get out of the pool
To live my dream to the end:
I would just like to tell myself that I don't care
I'm not comfortable in my blue jeans
I dream of a Jane Birkin love
Jane Birkin
I'm not comfortable in my blue jeans
I dream of a Birkin love
All these looks that kill me
I don't dare get out of the pool
To live my dream to the end:
I would just like to tell myself that I don't care
I'm not comfortable in my blue jeans
I dream of a Jane Birkin love
I'm not comfortable in my blue jeans
I dream of a Birkin love
All these looks that kill me
I dream of a Jane Birkin love
