There are several MJ songs (or The Jacksons songs) that make me sad, or even literally cry, for different reasons.
Some, because I can relate to them TOO well …..Someone Put Your Hand, That’s What You Get (For Being Polite), Bless His Soul, Destiny, Cry, Will You Be There, Who Is It, Speechless, Fall Again, Much Too Soon,
Some because they remind me of someone or something that happened that now makes me sad….Like, when I went inside of the O2 in London on July 13th during the vigil, I immediately had ”One Day In Your Life” playing in my head and I was literally crying my eyes out!!!
”One day in your life, you’ll remember a place”….….”You’ll come back and you’ll look around you, One day in your life, you’ll remember the love you found here”…”And when things fall apart, you’ll remember one day”….
I had been SO HAPPY there just 4 months earlier. Like one of the HAPPIEST moments in my life….and then 4 months back I cane back to look around and I could’ve literally collapsed brom the sadness and grief. I almost wasn’t able to even go inside at first because it just felt unbearable and too much to take to face the memories.
Same goes for Best of Joy and For All Time. They just remind me of the London Press Conference days and I could cry my eyes out for so many reasons every single time.
Gone Too Soon reminds me of the time when one of my best friends suddenly died when we were 18 yrs old and another friend of mine dying just a couple of years after that. Thst was such a sad, sad time and really hard to take.
Keep The Faith reminds me of the time when my dad was sick and died only a few years after my friends had just died and it just felt like everyone’s dying and it was SO depressing and EXTREMELY difficult to bear, so I kept blasting that song to keep holding on.
I mean not that the lyrics overall really fit but to hear Michael’s voice telling you to ”Keep the faith” was extremely comforting during that time and gave me strength to go on.
And some songs make me sad and cry because they touch me on a human level. Like ”We’ve Had Enough” is truly one of Michael’s BEST songs and SO BEAUTIFULl and tge lyrics ate so RELEVANT that it’s like MJ would’ve time travelled to current day to see what’s going on and then would have gone back to write a song about it!!!
The melody and lyrics are SO BEAUTIFUL!!
Anyways, just some songs that always make me cry for different reasons.
