A modern song that brings back sounds from the 80's, nice and cool.
If you feel brave you can try to sing your own cover of this song with this karaoke video:
Mika described the story behind the song in an interview with the Sun Newspaper February 2, 2007:
"I always wanted to write a dance song that wasn't a really full dance track, that felt organic*. So when I came into producing 'Relax' I made sure that most of the sounds we used were actually made by real instruments. We used some great session musicians who had worked with Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. And we picked up the strangest pedal combinations to get all these weird sounds. It's really effective - you can't tell if it's a full dance track or really laid-back. It feels a bit weird electronically. The organic-ness gives a more classic field to it. So it was one of the harder tracks for me to produce, but also the most rewarding."
*Organic music: Music that deals with natural, percussion, acoustic based instruments. Musicians involved in organic music resonate positive vibes in their music

With nobody I know. And I'm screaming for help, alone. Took a ride to the end of the line But the pain and the longing's the same When you're dying. Ended up on a broken train Now I'm lost Where no one ever goes. |

Blame it on me or blame it on you. Relax, take it easy For there is nothing that we can do. Relax, take it easy |

It's as if I'm terrified. Are you scared? It's as if I'm scared. It's as if I'm terrified. Are we playing with fire? It's as if I'm scared. Scared. It's as if I'm playing with fire. |

Relax Is to leave you. Don't scream I believe that we're in this together. To the darkest times. There is an answer But the last thing on my mind There are so many roads left. It's clear we don't understand it |

That we can do. Or blame it on you. Relax, take it easy Blame it on me For there is nothing Relax, take it easy |
