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

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

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

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

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