This one is Mishka Frith.… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band called Mishka.
This one is Mishka Frith. Like his older sister, singer/songwriter Heather Nova (born Heather Frith), pop-reggae singer Mishka grew up at sea, traveling from island to island in the West Indies on his Canadian mother and Bermudian father's sailboat, where he received most of his education and listened to whatever music he could. When his parents returned to Canada, he completed school and returned to the Caribbean, eventually becoming a competitive windsurfer and representing Bermuda at international meets. In the meantime, he had also taken up songwriting, and he chanced to meet and impress Creation Records head Alan McGee with his vocal ability in late 1996; with prodding from Nova, Mishka was signed to a record contract the following year. His eponymous debut album, a mix of pop, reggae, soul, and singer/songwriter folk-rock, was released in 1999.
The other Mishka is from Ireland, currently living in America. Fronted by Lauren Norton. They have one EP - 47 Varieties Of Hindsight. Myspace: www.myspace.com/mihskamusik
Still Got Love
Mishka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I still got love for you babe
Told me stories that were incomplete
And I've still got love for you babe
I take a walk on my own two feet
That's the best thing I can do, yeah
Cause when we're cool, it always brings the heat
When we're falling, gonna fall like rain
In the fire, gonna touch the flame
When we're standing, got to withstand pain
When we're leaving, got to catch this train
You gave me sorrow and regret
And I still got love for you babe
You tried to catch me with your net
And somehow I slipped through, yeah
To watch the golden sunrise, sunset
But all day long it's blue babe
Don't speak of truth and then forget
Cause you just won't have a clue, babe
When we're falling, gonna fall like rain
In the fire, gonna touch the flame
When we're standing, got to withstand pain
When we're leaving, got to catch this train
You are the one, who set my soul on fire
You are the one, left me out in the cold
Oh, and now the world is falling and you start to cry
Yeah, now your world is falling and your well is dry
When we're, when we're falling, gonna fall like rain
In the fire, gonna touch the flame
When we're standing, got to withstand pain
When we're leaving, got to catch this train
Catch this train
Catch this train
The song "Still Got Love" by Mishka talks about a relationship that fell apart due to the actions of one partner but despite that, the other partner still has love for them. The first verse describes how the other partner was left on a cold street and was told incomplete stories. However, despite it all, they still have love for their partner. The singer then explains that taking a walk by themselves is the best they can do to handle the situation. However, when they are together, their relationship brings both heat and drama. The chorus repeats the phrase "When we're falling, gonna fall like rain, In the fire, gonna touch the flame, When we're standing, got to withstand pain, When we're leaving, got to catch this train", meaning that when things get tough, they have to persevere no matter what.
The second verse delves further into the heartbreak caused by the relationship. The singer was left with sorrow and regret by their partner, but they still have love for them. The partner tried to trap them with their net, but the singer managed to break free. They then discuss how the world appears blue despite the beautiful sunrise and sunset. The singer admonishes their partner for speaking the truth and then forgetting it, as they truly do not understand how much they have hurt the singer. The chorus repeats once more, emphasizing the idea of perseverance in difficult situations.
