RELAX (Karaoke)

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

Where no one ever goes.
Now I'm lost
And I'm screaming for help, alone.
Ended up on a broken train
When you're dying.
But the pain and the longing's the same
Took a ride to the end of the line
With nobody I know.
 
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.
Relax, take it easy
 
It's as if I'm terrified.
It's as if I'm scared.
Are we playing with fire?
Scared.
Are you scared?
It's as if I'm playing with fire.
It's as if I'm terrified.
It's as if I'm scared.
 
To the darkest times.
Relax
It's clear we don't understand it
Don't scream
There are so many roads left.
Is to leave you.
But the last thing on my mind
I believe that we're in this together.
There is an answer
 
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me
Relax, take it easy
That we can do.
Or blame it on you.
For there is nothing
 
Or blame it on you.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me
That we can do.
For there is nothing
Relax, take it easy
 
Or blame it on you.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me
For there is nothing
Relax, take it easy
That we can do.
 
Relax, take it easy
Relax, take it easy
Or blame it on you.
That we can do.
For there is nothing
Blame it on me
 
Are we playing with fire?
It's as if I'm scared.
Relax
It's as if I'm scared.
(relax) Scared.
It's as if I'm playing with fire.
Relax
It's as if I'm terrified.
Are you scared?
It's as if I'm terrified.
