You Are Not Alone

You Are Not Alone - Video | History Album | Videos from History
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You Are Not Alone" was the second single from his multi-platinum album HIStory. The song was written by R&B singer-songwriter R. Kelly and became the first single ever to debut at number one in the Billboard Hot 100.

Chart Performance

"You Are Not Alone" became the second most-successful Michael Jackson single released in the 1990s, after "Black or White". The song peaked at number one in many countries around the world, including the UK, the U.S., New Zealand, Ireland, France and Switzerland.

In the UK, it debuted at number three and then climbed to number one where it stayed for two weeks. The single remained in the top five for seven weeks and was in the top 75 for fifteen weeks. This long run in the charts resulted in a gold sales award. The huge success of "You Are Not Alone" pulled HIStory back into the top-ten.

In the U.S., the single broke a Billboard record by being the first-ever single to debut at number one on the Hot 100 singles chart. Although it debuted at number one, it only spent one week at the top, and Michael has not had a number one single on the Hot 100 since. It also debuted at number one on the magazine's R&B chart, where it remained for four weeks. Airplay was excellent with a number two peak position on the Hot 100 Airplay chart and a number one position on Billboard's R&B Airplay chart (where it stayed for seven weeks). Single sales were strong with a peak position of number two on the Billboard Hot 100 Sales chart, number one on the Billboard R&B Sales chart, and number three on the Billboard Maxi-single Sales chart. The single went Platinum in the U.S. for sales of over one million copies.

Lyrics

Another day has gone
Im still all alone
How could this be
Youre not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though youre far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though were far apart
Youre always in my heart
But you are not alone

lone, lone
Why, lone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though youre far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though were far apart
Youre always in my heart
For you are not alone

Whisper three words and Ill come runnin
And girl you know that Ill be there
Ill be there

You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though youre far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though were far apart
Youre always in my heart

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though youre far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though were far apart
Youre always in my heart

For you are not alone...

Quotes about Michael Jackson

  • When Michael Jackson sings it is with the voice of angels, and when his feet move, you can see God dancing.
  • There are two kinds of people in this world: Michael Jackson fans and losers.
  • Of every album I have listened to, the best of the year by far has been Invincible. Michael Jackson deserves a lot more credit than he is getting, one of the most influential performers of all time.
  • He is a very smart cookie, Michael. He knows what he wants, he knows what he is doing. I have nothing but admiration. Also, he is a very kind person.
  • He is what every artist looks up to...to be... one time become the next King of Pop.
  • My feelings about Michael Jackson are simple: I think that he's a human being like everyone else and I'm a huge fan of him.
  • Michael is magic and all magic people are somehow eccentric. Michael is one of the most lovable, kind and natural people I've ever known. I took him deeply to my heart. I would do everything for him and he would do everything for me.
  • Michael is the wisest and at the same time most naive person I know.
  • He's sort of a fawn in a burning forest. It's a nice place where Michael comes from. I wish we could all spend some time in his world.
  • I'd be proud to have that kid (Michael) as my son any day.
  • All this stuff about Michael being a weirdo — it's a pile of goddam... I've recorded a whole lot of these pop-musicians and this guy's the straightest of the goddam lot.
  • Michael I believed in you when you were a little kid, I believe in you now and I'll never stop believing in you!
  • Michael's a natural. He's a very hard worker and a super performer. But most of all he's a real human being.
  • Michael is a generous, honest, and sensitive human being, filled with amazing insight and the capacity for love. If this is weird, I want to go live on another planet.
  • I think Michael Jackson is the best entertainer to ever walk this planet. He dancers, sings and writes songs. He is one true legend.
  • The thing about Michael is he's hands down one of the most professional, most talented performers I have ever worked with. All the bro haa haa aside, when it comes down to it you can have 60 choreographed dancers up there and you know which one Michael is.
  • Ethics can be argued. You may think it's right. I may think it's wrong. The law is there to decide if it's allowed. Period. Yes. I would have bought the Beatles publishing rights if I had the opportunity.
  • Everyone's thinking they're the new W. Axl Rose, just running their mouths and living in this world where nothing is real. Like, it's really easy to write a couple of songs, but that doesn't mean you get to run your mouth. The only guy who can do that is Michael Jackson. He wrote Thriller, so he can say whatever the fuck he wants.
  • Working with Michael Jackson was probably the best recording experience of my life. He was totally cool, absolutely professional and a beautiful, beautiful guy. And let’s not forget, he's a musical genius.

Money

History Album | Videos from History
----------------------------------------------------------------
The song features Michael taking on the role of someone who would do "anythang" for money, and he sings about the various misdeeds he would commit for more money. In the chorus of the song, he states that he would do "anything - anythang - anything for money; I'd lie for you, die for you, even sell my soul to the devil".

The song itself takes on an open minded view on how greedy society has become and how some people would do almost anything to be rich or to gain money. The song also notes the corruption which money can spawn, Michael singing that "I'll never betray or deceive you my friend but - if you show me the cash then I will take it; If you tell me to cry, then I will fake it; if you give me your hand, then I will shake it; you'd do anything for money". Michael, in persona, also says that "you say you wouldn't do it for all the money in the world - I don't think so", recognizing the inherent flaw of such a phrase. Noticeably, Michael also ends each verse with the phrase "You'd do anything for money".

The main aim of the song is to satirize the lust for material possessions and money, a characteristic which has pervaded Western society. The character Michael plays is actually a stereotypical, yet extremely believable, representation of a Western citizen who's main goal in life is to seek and attain money by any means necessary.

He mentions some rich men such as John Pierpont Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, John Davison Rockefeller, Jean Paul Getty

Lyrics

Money.
Money...

Lie for it
Spy for it
Kill for it
Die for it

So you call it trust
But I say its just
In the devils game
Of greed and lust

They dont care
Theyd do me for the money
They dont care
They use me for the money

So you go to church
Read the holy word
In the scheme of life
Its all absurd

They dont care
Theyd kill for the money
Do or dare
The thrill for the money

Youre saluting the flag
Your country trusts you
Now youre wearing a badge
Youre called the just few
And youre fighting the wars
A soldier must do
Ill never betray or deceive you my friend but...

If you show me the cash
Then I will take it
If you tell me to cry
Then I will fake it
If you give me a hand
Then I will shake it

You do anything for money...

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

Insurance?
Where do your loyalties lie?
Is that your alibi?
I dont think so
You dont care
Youd do her for the money
Say its fair
You sue her for the money
Want your pot of gold
Need the midas touch
Bet you sell your soul
Cuz your God is such
You dont care
You kill for the money
Do or dare
The thrill for the money

Are you infected with the same disease of lust, gluttoney and greed?
Then watch the ones
With the biggest smiles
The idle jabbers...
Cuz theyre the backstabbers

If you know its a lie
Then you will swear it
If you give it with guilt
Then you will bear it
If its taking a chance
Then you will dare it

You do anything for money...

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

You say you wouldnt do it
For all the money in the world
I dont think so
If you show me the man
Then I will sell him
If you ask me to lie
Then I will tell him
If youre stealing with god
Then you will hell him

You do anything for money

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

D.S. (Dom Sheldon)

History Album | Videos from History
--------------------------------------------------------
"D.S." is a song by Michael Jackson from his 1995 HIStory double album. It is track six on the second disc, one of the three songs from that disc whose lyrics are printed in the lyric booklet, and is four minutes and forty-nine seconds in length.

Many believe that this song refers to Thomas W. Sneddon Jr. as when sung, "Dom Sheldon" sounds very close to "Tom Sneddon". In addition, the lyrics reference a "B.S.T.A.", which sounds similar to "S.B.D.A." or "Santa Barbara District Attorney".

In 1993 the father of a boy named Jordan Chandler accused Michael Jackson of child molestation. The media reported on this news constantly and damaged Michael Jackson's career. Thomas Sneddon is the district attorney of Santa Barbara County, California who prosecuted Michael Jackson twice, in 1993 and in 2005. The second set of charges against Jackson resulted in a long trial, which ultimately ended in Jackson being acquitted.

Song Style

The song has a distinct rock feel to it, with a guitar solo performed by former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, who had previously worked with Jackson on his Dangerous album. Before the gutair solo in the song, Jackson screams the name "Slash!"- leading to Slash's part in the song.

Jackson has always included a rock track on each album since the success of "Beat It" from Thriller. Other 'rock' songs of his include; "Beat It", "Dirty Diana", "Give in to Me", "Morphine" and "Privacy".

Lyrics

They wanna get my ass
Dead or alive
You know he really tried to take me
Down by surprise
I bet he missioned with the CIA
He don't do half what he say

Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

He out shock in every single way
He'll stop at nothing just to get his political say
He think he hot cause he's BSTA
I bet he never had a social life anyway

You think he brother with the KKK?
I bet his mother never taught him
Right anyway
He want your vote just to remain ta.
He don't do half what he say

Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

Thomas Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

Does he send letters to the FBI?
Did he say to either do it or die?

Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

Thomas Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

Thomas Sheldon is a cold man

Earth Song

Earth Song Video | History Album | Videos from History
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Earth Song" is a song by Michael Jackson featured on Jackson's 1995 HIStory album. The song's music video depicts the Earth being destroyed by humans, and alludes to environmental and poverty issues in the world. The visuals present the destruction of rainforests by loggers, majestic animals killed by poachers, and a North American forest burnt to stumps. The video also shows the devastation of 1990s aggressions between Bosnia and Bosniaks returning to their shattered homes. The video's scene was recorded in Croatia, due to instability in Bosnia at the time. The video includes stock footage of the Serb army shelling of Bosnian villages. In the end, Michael and all the suffering native peoples depicted cry, kneel, and dig into the dirt, which magically triggers the world to swirl backwards in time, returning everything to its original, peaceful state.

Chart Performance

When it was released in December of 1995, it debuted at number #1 in the United Kingdom, where it remained for the next 6 consecutive weeks, becoming the Christmas number one single of 1995, and the first #1 of 1996. It would become Jackson's most successful single release in the United Kingdom to date, achieving sales in excess of 1 million there, and remained on the U.K single's chart for 19 weeks in total. The single sold over 3 million copies world-wide.

Other Information

However, many critics considered both the song and the video to be pompous and overbearing, a charge repeated by Jarvis Cocker as a partial explanation for his invasion of Jackson's stage during a performance of "Earth Song" at the 1996 BRIT Awards, in which three children were injured. Fans said that the critics failed to fully read the lyrics of the song, or look at the video more closely. They point out there were no indications of a "messiah complex" that some critics claimed, and in the video, Jackson represented himself as a mendicant who prays for a better tomorrow, along with the nations of the world. The posture adopted by Jackson while performing this song at the BRIT Awards in fact originated in the video to his earlier single, "Will You Be There". The "Earth Song" video is available on the DVDs HIStory On Film Volume II and Number Ones. It was nominated for a 1996 Grammy for Best Short Form Video.

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

Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood weve shed before
Did you ever stop this notice
This crying earth this we make sure?

What have we done to the world
Look what weve done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...

Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth this we make sure?

Now I dont know where we are
Although I know weve drifted far

Endo smoke got me choked and Im hopin
The fool comes slippin
So I could blowem open

Ive raised other peoples to watch my back
Stay away from strangers

And I know my nigga mike like that

Stranger In Moscow

Stranger In Moscow Video | History Album | Videos from History
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stranger in Moscow was written in 1993 during Jackson's Dangerous World Tour in Moscow. He mentions that outside his hotel room, all he could see was "a sea of faces of fans chanting and screaming" and that he felt "all alone", like he was "the last person on the planet". It was this particular instance (on that particular day) that Stranger in Moscow came together.
The song's music video shows Jackson walking down a street while everything except himself and other primary subjects are moving in slow motion. Jackson's songwriter in his early career Rod Temperton, believes this is his best song.

Chart Performance

The single was a success in Europe, reaching the top of the charts in Spain, Italy and #4 in the UK, where it stayed in the top 40 for five weeks during the Christmas period. It was the least successful single release from the HIStory - Past, Present and Future, Book I album, but maintained the trend of continuous top 5 hits in the UK, where the album proved to be Jackson's most successful singles album to date.
Due to the remixes made for the song it reached #1 in the UK Dance Chart (staying at the top for 5 weeks), #1 in the UK Club Chart, and #1 on the official Euro DJ's chart. This meant that it was Jackson's biggest club hit and one of the biggest club hits from a mainstream commercial artist.
It also performed well in many other European countries, peaking at #5 in Switzerland and #9 in Denmark. It also peaked at #6 in New Zealand and at #14 in Australia. However, in the USA it flopped, reaching only #91.

Lyrics

I was wandering in the rain
Mask of life, feelin insane
Swift and sudden fall from grace
Sunny days seem far away
Kremlins shadow belittlin me
Stalins tomb wont let me be
On and on and on it came
Wish the rain would just let me

How does it feel (how does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When youre alone
And youre cold inside

Here abandoned in my fame
Armageddon of the brain
Kgb was doggin me
Take my name and just let me be
Then a begger boy called my name
Happy days will drown the pain
On and on and on it came
And again, and again, and again...
Take my name and just let me be

How does it feel (how does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel (how does it feel now)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When youre alone
And youre cold inside

How does it feel (how does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel (how does it feel now)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When youre alone
And youre cold inside

Like stranger in moscow
Like stranger in moscow
Were talkin danger
Were talkin danger, baby
Like stranger in moscow
Were talkin danger
Were talkin danger, baby
Like stranger in moscow
Im livin lonely
Im livin lonely, baby
Stranger in moscow

Lyrics

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shock dead
Everybodys gone mad

All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us

Beat me, hate me
You can never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
Do me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, strike me
Dont you black or white me

All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us

Tell me what has become of my life
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am the victim of police brutality, now
Im tired of bein the victim of hate
Youre rapin me of my pride
Oh, for gods sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
Set me free

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Trepidation, speculation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Black man, black mail
Throw your brother in jail

All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us

Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible because you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
Im tired of bein the victim of shame
Theyre throwing me in a class with a bad name
I cant believe this is the land from which I came
You know I do really hate to say it
The government dont wanna see
But if roosevelt was livin
He wouldnt let this be, no, no

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me

All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us

Some things in life they just dont wanna see
But if martin luther was livin
He wouldnt let this be

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Kick me, strike me
Dont you wrong or right me

All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us

All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us

All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us

"Scream" was a duet between Michael and his sister Janet written by both Jacksons and the production team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. It dealt with the mass media attention both siblings had received in their careers. The track is backed by a number of remixes by prolific artists including DJ David Morales, rap group Naughty by Nature and record producer Dave Hall. The duo received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for Scream. "Scream", however, doesn't reappear in the tracklisting of Michael Jackson: The Ultimate Collection and The Essential Michael Jackson. Also, the video didn't reappear in Visionary: The Video Singles. The video did appear, however, as a "director's cut" in the DVD The Work of Director Mark Romanek. A remix of the song by Flyte Time is featured on Michael's 1997 album Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix. It is titled "Scream Louder" (Flyte Time remix).

You tell me Im wrong
Then you better prove youre right
Youre sellin out souls but

Ive got to get stronger
And I wont give up the fight
(michael)
With such confusions dont it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin victimize within the scheme

While I keep playin the game

Police after being wrongly identified as a
Robbery suspect. the man was
An 18 year old black male...

Lyrics

The way she came into the place
I knew right then and there
There was something different
About this girl

The way she moved
Her hair, her face, her lines
Divinity in motion

As she stalked the room
I could feel the aura
Of her presence
Every head turned
Feeling passion and lust

The girl was persuasive
The girl I could not trust
The girl was bad
The girl was dangerous

I never knew but I was
Walking the line
Come go with me
I said I have no time
And dont you pretend we didnt
Talk on the phone
My baby cried
She left me standing alone

Shes so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But youre no damn good for me

She came at me in sections
With the eyes of desire
I fell trapped into her
Web of sin
A touch, a kiss
A whisper of love
I was at the point
Of no return

Deep in the darkness of
Passions insanity
I felt taken by lusts
Strange inhumanity
This girl was persuasive
This girl I could not trust
The girl was bad
The girl was dangerous

I never knew
But I was living in vain
She called my house
She said you know my name
And dont you pretend
You never did me before
With tears in her eyes
My baby walked out the door

Shes so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But youre no damn good for me

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
I have to pray to god
cause I know how
Lust can blind
Its a passion in my soul
But youre no damn lover
Friend of mine

I can not sleep alone tonight
My baby left me here tonight
I cannot cope til its all right
You and your manipulation
You hurt my baby

And then it happened
She touched me
For the lips of
A strange woman
Drop as a honeycomb
And her mouth was
Smoother than oil
But her inner spirit and words
Were as sharp as
A two-edged sword
But I loved it
cause its dangerous

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But youre no damn good for me

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But youre no damn good for me

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But youre no damn good for me

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
I have to pray to god
cause I know how
Lust can blind
Its a passion in my soul
But youre no damn lover
Friend of mine

Lyrics

Like a comet
Blazing cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon

Gone too soon

Keep the faith
