Notice again that, with the exception of Ben (Live), MJ has placed his songs in chronological order and in such a way that it draws a picture of things that had occurred in his life. The "Number Ones" CD takes us through a journey of his solo career from "Off The Wall" released in 1979 on up to the "Number Ones" CD itself released in 2003. And for "The Ultimate Collection," he is listing songs starting from when he was a kid and he is bringing us all the way up to songs that he worked on in 2004 while going through the trial. He actually released the box set while he was going through the trial.
"The Ultimate Collection" box set includes soundtracks that he did for movies that others starred in, and he also included songs that he performed on screen for movies that he himself starred in which are "The Wiz" and "Captain EO." He has revealed that the soundtrack entitled "Childhood" is indeed about him. This alone clearly shows that he does record songs that are about his life.
Think about it. When a person has been writing and selecting songs for a very long time, it seems like it would become kind of hard to not sometimes write or select songs that are about oneself.
Now, if everyone pays close attention to "Ben (Live)" which is the song that he selected as the last song to place at the end of the "Number Ones" CD, we will notice that it has the words "I used to say I and me. Now it's us. Now it's we."
What song did MJ place at the end of "The Ultimate Collection" box set? He ended the long list of songs with a song entitled "We’ve Had Enough," didn’t he?
Go look at his other greatest hits CDs that he's put out. Are the songs in chronological order? No, they are not. For example, HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I. Look at disc one, HIStory Begins. Is it in chronological order? It is not. He started putting his songs in chronological order in 2003 and doing so shows the order that things had occurred in his life. With disc two, HIStory Continues, MJ is expressing his feelings, though, and the song "Childhood" is on this CD.
Now, if we look back at "The Ultimate Collection" a little more, we will notice that before MJ ends the song list with "We've Had Enough," he first included two songs before it where he is saying that he was in love. In "Beautiful Girl" he is being straight forward with it. And, with "The Way You Love Me" not only is he revealing that someone had come to him, but this song also ties right in with the song "Will You Be There" and what he is saying at the end of the thank you message that he put out before going overseas after winning the trial. Watch.
"Will You Be There"
Hold me
Like the River Jordan
"The Way You Love Me"
I like the way how you're holdin' me
"Will You Be There"
Love me like a mother
"The Way You Love Me"
I like the way how you're lovin' me
"Will You Be There"
Kiss me and free me
"The Way You Love Me"
I like the way how you're kissin' me
"Will You Be There"
Carry me like you are my brother
Now look at the second half of MJ’s thank you message. You will see the rest that ties into "Will You Be There."
______________
Without God, my children, my family and you, my fans, I could not have made it through. Your love, support and loyalty made it all possible.
You were there when I really needed you. I will never forget you. Your ever-present love held me, dried my tears, and carried me through.
I will treasure your devotion and support forever. You are my inspiration.
Love,
Michael Jackson

Didn't MJ also start putting out songs between 2003 and 2004 expressing what his needs were? His needs are being mentioned on the "Number Ones" CD in "One More Chance" and in song "Fall Again" which was the first love song played on the Internet from the box set, and in it he says "I need you around for every day to start" and "I need your love in my life." In "One More Chance" is saying "All I need is one more chance at love." He was letting her know that he needed her companionship to carry on. And from looking at the way that he became upbeat again before he passed away, he definitely got what he needed from her and he was happy about it.
Something else from "Will You Be There" to look at is the line "When lost will you find me."
Notice that in "Someone In The Dark" MJ sings the words "All alone wishing on stars, waiting for you to find me."
In "The Way You Love Me" is said "You came in time."
These songs are all tying together...
To those that are still having a hard time accepting the possibility that MJ was in love before he passed away, there is a question in MJ's new song "Breaking News" that was recorded in 2007. His question is "Why is it strange that I would fall in love?"
http://www.michaeljackson.com/us/news/new-michael-jackson-song-breaking-news
Isn't it interesting that he would ask this question? I guess he felt that some people didn't think he was willing to fall in love and he is revealing that he was willing.
Now, before going, I want to say to the person in the thread that had mentioned that this discussion is now over 700 pages long and that 7 is MJ’s favorite number….
Isn't that GREAT!!! :wild: Both MJ and God love the number 7!! Not only did God give the world 7 days of the week, but He also gave us 7 years to be teenagers!! Wanna see?!! Look!!
1. Thirteen
2. Fourteen
3. Fifteen
4. Sixteen
5. Seventeen
6. Eighteen
7. Nineteen
:lol:
Lucky number 7!!!
Well, that’s all for now. When I come back to post an answer to MysteriousPhoenix, I’m gonna provide links to some videos that will reveal MJ’s determination to take back his life. MP, you will see that our guy would have won the trial back in the 90's just like he did in the 2000's and that he knew early on that God was going to help him.
:yes:
