Remembering the Life and Music of MJ


Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

The one and only "King of Pop" died last June 25, 2009 of cardiac arrest and now the whole world is mourning for such a great loss. I opened the television today and saw a show paying tribute to the life and music of Michael Jackson. As I was listening to his numberless phenomenal songs being played I can't help but also reminisce my own memories with MJ's music. He has a lot of hits but my favorite is "Heal the World". Now hearing his song again, I just can't believe that he's finally gone. It's as if I'm still in denial hoping that anytime soon he'll appear in a TV interview and say that the news was all crap and untrue...

I think most of us has been a fan of such great artist and has been touched by his music in some way or another. His contribution to the world of music is so great that now even if he's gone, his music will continue to live on. Goodbye Michael! I'll forever miss you.....

HEAL THE WORLD
by Michael Jackson

spoken:
Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better
world for our children and our children's children. So that they know
it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better place.

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race.
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

Bridge:
And the dream we would conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be God's glow.

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel
You are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space to make a better place.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

Refrain (2x)

There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.
There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.

You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children

The Elusive Mr. Right

Every girl is longing that someday she'll find that elusive Mr. Right who will knock her off her feet. When she sees him she'll know it because there's "magic". There's spark and fireworks everywhere! Hmmm... sounds fairytale and too idealistic. I think I'm just imagining one of the romance novels I've read. But admit it, we all went into this stage once or many times in our lives. I think it's one of the reasons why some women find it so hard to enter into a relationship, being too idealistic. Guilty as charged! But actually, it's not the primary reason in my case though, it might have influenced me in some ways. lol

I think women of today are mostly career-oriented, ambitious, aggressive and aimed of being on top in a corporate world. They would rather consider their career first before ever entering into a serious commitment. We can't deny that there are times that committing to someone would sometimes get in the way of furthering a woman's career. A woman is so involved in making a successful career that sometimes men would be intimidated and fall short of her standards. Now that's a dilemma. Well I think if a man gets intimidated to a woman's achievements then he is not man enough to be her Mr. Right. He should have the courage to pursue and brave their incompatibilities no matter what the odds are. After all there's no such thing as a perfect partner. Oops! Here I go again with my idealistic views.lol Sorry guys I'm just trying to rationalise why I still haven't found that Mr. Right. :)
