I suddenly went back to the Michael Jackson phase. Lol, I think Aster can testify to this.

You know the saying that you only appreciate something when u lose it. Well, I think a lot of people failed to appreciate Michael Jackson's music. Now that he has left this world, the sudden playback of his songs has caught my attention.
.
.
Firstly, I think its quite rude for all the entertainment industries to take advantage of his shocking news to make money. Its been few months now and there are still new reports on his death and other scandals.
2nd, I think they should just leave him in peace la. After all, he was the King Of Pop. So what if now u tell me he was a drug user, or even come up with evidence he was/wasn't a child molester. Just put him to rest and embed the memories that he has brought us while growing up.
.
.
Lol, despite Aster's constant comments that 'why suddenly Michael Jackson again wan?' or 'not again!!' I dunno why I suddenly like his songs again.
.
.
But what's important is that its only after he's gone that I realise his music was really reaching out to people. You can condemn him all you want, but the lyrics in his music is what I respect him for.

Man in the mirror:
I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs....
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place...
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
.
.
Heal the world:
There Are Ways
To Get There
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Little Space
Make A Better Place...
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....
.
.
We are the World:
There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretneding day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me....

Black or White (rap section):
Protection
For gangs, clubs
And nations
Causing grief in
Human relations
Its a turf war
On a global scale
Id rather hear both sides
Of the tale
See, its not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood
Comes from
Is where your space is
Ive seen the bright
Get duller
Im not going to spend
My life being a color...
.

Earth Song:
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain.. .
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores.

If we ever stop just to listen to some of the songs he sang, take note of the beautiful lyrics :)
