The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Is this from today's seminar? If that's true then this just proves that the vault goes deeper than we thought and isn't as empty. Hopefully we get to hear that song one day.

I definitely think there will be a few of these songs that we haven't heard about that will pop up every now and again. Always nice to hear stuff like this.
 
"Dream Away"😮

Yup, it’s from the seminar! A couple attendees have been posting about it on Facebook and Instagram. Reactions are hugely positive thus far.

Interesting! Did they say anything else about the seminars? Like if there's been any other details they were given or if they heard any songs?

And also I've been thinking about it and it's probably unlikely that the song will be released, seeing how much of a fuss it has been to release Chicago 1945 lol.

MJ and Steve Porcaro collaborated on a song titled “Dream Away,” which was written and recorded shortly after Thriller came out (i.e., December 1982 or January 1983). It’s a mid-tempo ballad with a similar aesthetic to “Human Nature,” and it’s at least 90% to 95% vocally finished.

Another one to fawn over.

Whoa! Wait a minute here. We were always told 3. Human Nature, Chicago 1945, and For All Time. All the sudden there's another?!?!?

I'd assume Porcaro will feel the same way about remixing this one as he does Chicago yeah.

Next album needs to have Chicago 1945, Dream Away, and Buffalo Bill. Please Estate. You can even throw Can't Get Out Of The Rain again on the next one.

Bad 40 or Thriller 50 material maybe? Imo it leans more into Thriller territory seeing how close it was made to the album's release but either way I hope Dream Away gets to be released one day.
 
So strange that he just decided to bring it out now and not at anything he's attended before lol.
 
Next project has to be a reissue of BAD!!! Doesn't need to be an anniversary issue, they should release a straight sde. Release 6 new bonus tracks (BB, C45, Streetwalker (Quincy), CK, AC (w Troutman), TYLA) along with short films & BTW (NYC?) in 4K.

MJ put For All Time on Thriller 25 because it was similar to Human Nature, right? At least that's what I assume. Then, if there was a song in the vault that's also similar to Human Nature AND is actually from the Thriller era then why didn't he release that one instead? lmao

No clue! I’m doing some hunting as we speak.

I recall Steve did an interview at some point and said there were “some” unheard songs in the vault, which I always took to mean that there were multiple. So happy to hear at least one more exists!
ChanceToDance said:
So Steve Porcaro has made at least 5 songs with Michael:
Human Nature
For All Time
Chicago 1945
Dream Away
Change The World

Y'all think there might be more from his sessions?

“Change the World”? What’s that?

Woah he kept that quiet until now. Let’s hope we get to hear that one too.
 
“Dream Away” seems to be a working title, as one of the seminar attendees said that they don’t recall the phrase ever appearing in the song.

Honestly, Dream Away sounds very interesting and if it is similar to Human Nature (a song I love), I want to hear it right now. This news has totally made my day.
 
For all Time is a Porcaro Song? I thought it was a Dangerous era song, and that the sessions with Steve happened shortly before and after Thriller.
 
This is wonderful news. Like @Derek1984 the first song I thought of was The Jacksons Dreamer.

This was my point a few weeks ago, Damien might have heard a lot but he's not heard everything.

I wouldn't be shocked if there's a few songs that the Estate aren't even aware of, because collaborators don't want to share with the estate and have their songs with Michael changed beyond recognition. I wouldn't blame them

Dream Away was considered for the Xscape compilation in 2014 but Porcaro didn’t want it to be mixed. Porcaro also played Chicago 1945 and the demo of Change (without MJ’s vocals).

So Dream Away was one of the 24 songs considered for Xscape. I'm pretty glad to hear this as it makes it more likely that we'll get to hear the song eventually.
