Since today, "Stranger in Moscow" was released in 1997, I thought the song/video 'deserved' a thread like this.
I think it's an intriguing video as though it has the sad and dramatic feel to it, it does offer some comfort if you're willing to let it sink through.
I mean how can a sad song about "being lonely and cold inside" still be so beautiful and endearing?
That is simply the Magic of MJ as he always offers a 'way out' out of the darkness.
At first glance, you see people 'sad and lonely' but then when you pay attention to what they do apart from the other people in the video, you suddenly see the 'silver lining' in the video.
Life is sometimes hard and takes us to places we rather stay away from but even when you're sad and lonely you can still go out and enjoy the rain like the people in the video.
That is why I love MJ's videos as they always carry a message hidden between the lines.
I know the video is about MJ but I rather see him here as an 'narrator' to help people.
To me, it feels like "It's okay to be sad sometimes cause the happy days will drown the pain"
As for the song, I just love to listen to it in the rain as it gives a feel of comfort to me at least!
Why do you appreciate the song?
