Can we just take a moment to celebrate this great song? This is one of the songs on HIStory that often gets overlooked because of the abundance of sheer quality material on the album. This song has such a victorious and triumphant feeling. For me, this song is his most inspirational and motivational work ever. Even more than Man In The Mirror. It has this sophisticated grace but at the same time retaining a feeling of grandeur. Everytime i play this song i immediately want to get up off my ass and create my history (bad pun intended, [double pun intended]), and thats what's so great about this song, it doesn't discriminate. You don't have to be a president or a king or an astronaut, this song is about creating YOUR OWN History and being the person that you are destined to be.
I must say that I love the small nuances on the beat with the claps/snares getting heavier during the second part of the chorus and the samples, the orchestration towards the end and boyz 2 mens background vocals. I also really like it when Mike sings the first chorus by himself. It sounds so smooth and crisp.
The lyrics are some of the best I've heard from Mike. I wish more people would pay more attention to his lyrics and give him the credit due as a great songwriter and poet.
"Every day create your history
Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Every day create your history
Every page you turn you're writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry
Every child should sing together in harmony"
Amazing song from an amazing album. This song deserved a real music video.
