1. MIKE (born Michael Jordan Bonema on October 13th, 1998) is a rapper originally from New Jersey but currently based out of New York City. He usually drops his projects on either of the solstices (June 21st or December 21st) each year.
2. MIKE is a punk rock band from Stockholm, Sweden.
MIKE started in January 2006 by Joel, Fredrik, Viktor and Jesper. The four guys from the southern part of Stockholm/Sweden had all played in different bands for years. Back in 1996 Viktor started a band called No Division with a friend. Jesper joined the band in 2000 (then called Pronoid), where they both played for five years. Joel played in the band Dechas, who released an EP on DayGlo Records in 2000 and an album on Shutdown Records in Australia in 2002. Fredrik had been playing in the band In Memory Of Me and in different bands before that. Jesper and Joel played together from time to time for a while and they both love punk rock, and when Jesper quit Pronoid they started talking about playing punk together. They talked to their old friends Viktor and Fredrik and started jamming some of Jespers songs and the result is what today is known as the band MIKE. After about a year our good friend Fredrik decided to quit the band to play with a reggae band from Uppsala. We then tried out two drummers but decided to pick one of Joel's old friends, Totte. He'd earlier been the drummer in bands like Milk bar, Devoured, Songea and Simpleton. Experience and routine was a fact. He'd actually only been in the band for about a week when he performed his first show with MIKE, and a week after that we went into the studio to record a couple of songs.

The album will soon be finished, sources say.

Spring' aus dem Bett, steh' vor dem Spiegel
Und weiß, was ich will
Cornflakes und Milch, keinen Hummer und so
Schmeiß' mich auf die Couch, bleibe gechillt
Der Bademantel ist zwei Nummern zu groß
Handy vibriert, Ossama ruft an
Komm' wieder zu spät zum Videodreh
Ich bin achtzehn, verdammt, hab den Wagen am Start
Die Felgen sind schwarz, schreibe die Lines während der Fahrt
Montag in München, Dienstag Berlin
Mittwoch in Köln (Köln) und danach in Wien
Einmal um die Welt und wieder zurück
Zurück zu mir selbst
Home, sweet home, home, sweet home
Bin froh, wenn ich mal zuhause bin
Home, sweet home, home, sweet home
Schließ' meine Wohnung auf und hau' mich hin
Home, sweet home, home, sweet home
Bin froh, wenn ich mal zuhause bin
Home, sweet home, home, sweet home
Ich bin da, wo meine Homies sind
Mit den Jungs draußen am Spielplatz
Auf dem Boden geblieben wie Sneakers
Ihr könnt von mir lernen, bin der Teacher
Auf einmal schreit jeder nach Feature
Ich bleib' lieber home
Ich scheiß' auf mein Phone
Jeder, der mich wirklich kennt
Ist mehr wert als eine Million
Morgens wieder raus, Meetings und Dates
Props und Applaus von Echten und Fakes
Immer unterwegs und viel zu oft im Stau
Doch egal, wie lang es braucht, es geht nur noch gradeaus, yeah
Montag in München, Dienstag Berlin
Mittwoch in Köln (Köln) und danach in Wien
Einmal um die Welt und wieder zurück (brra)
Zurück zu mir selbst
Home, sweet home, home, sweet home
Bin froh, wenn ich mal zuhause bin
Home, sweet home, home, sweet home
Schließ' meine Wohnung auf und hau' mich hin
Home, sweet home, home, sweet home
Bin froh, wenn ich mal zuhause bin
Home, sweet home, home, sweet home
Ich bin da, wo meine Homies sind
Ich bin froh, ja, ich bin froh, ja
Bin froh, wenn ich zuhause bin
Bin froh, ja
Da, wo meine Homies sind, oh-oh-oh, yeah
The lyrics of "Home" by Mike provide a glimpse into the hectic and demanding lifestyle of a young artist on the rise, juxtaposed with the comforting familiarity of home and the importance of staying true to oneself. The song begins with a description of a typical day in the artist's life - waking up tired, facing the pressures of work, and trying to stay relaxed amidst the chaos. The mention of mundane things like cornflakes and milk instead of luxury items like lobster, and the oversized bathrobe, highlights the artist's down-to-earth nature and desire for simplicity.
The artist then delves into the whirlwind of their schedule, traveling from city to city for various engagements, reflecting the fast-paced nature of the music industry. Despite the excitement of traveling around the world and experiencing new places, there is a yearning to return to the familiarity and comfort of home, where they can truly be themselves and be surrounded by their loved ones and friends. This sentiment is captured in the repeated refrain of "Home, sweet home," conveying the longing for a sense of belonging and peace amidst the chaos of their career.
Amidst the glamour and demands of fame, the artist expresses a strong sense of loyalty to their roots and the importance of staying grounded. The mention of spending time with friends at the playground and being a teacher figure to those around them emphasizes the value they place on authentic connections over material success. They prioritize relationships over superficial collaborations and fame, emphasizing the personal fulfillment found in genuine connections with loved ones and close friends.
The song culminates in a celebration of the joy and gratitude the artist feels when they finally return home, where they can unwind, relax, and recharge before heading back out into the world. The lyrics convey a sense of contentment and fulfillment in being surrounded by familiar faces and a sense of belonging. The final lines express the artist's happiness and sense of peace when they are at home, emphasizing the bond they share with their friends and the strength found in returning to their roots. "Home" by Mike encapsulates the balancing act of balancing a demanding career with the importance of staying true to oneself and finding solace in the simple pleasures of home.
