You know, this song has always been my favourite MJ song and it's the only song that's ever made me cry when I listened to it. There's just so much anger, pain and resentment in his voice, and then all the crazyness stops with "relax, this won't hurt you. Before I put it in, close your eyes and count to ten."
There's something so incredibly sad and painful about this song, and I've felt that way for years. Now that you've pointed out the "heart attack" reference, I'm really starting to feel eerie about it too.
I've been avoiding bringing this up but.........
Barbara: How did you hear of her [Princess Diana] death?
Michael: Um...I woke up (in a quiet and reflective voice) and my doctor gave me the news. And I fell back down in grief, and I started to cry. The pain...I felt inner pain, in my stomach, and in my chest. (his voice starts to break slightly) So, I said, "I can't handle this...it's too much." Just the message and the fact that I knew her personally. Then on top of that one I said, "There's another one...real soon...I feel it coming...there's another one....it's another one coming and I pray it's not me...please don't let it be me." And then Mother Theresa came...
Barbara: Are you psychic...is that what you're saying?
Michael: I don't want to say that, but I've done it before.
Barbara: And you thought it might be you?
Michael: Yes.
