Today, August 29, is Michael Jackson’s birthday. It’s truly sad how we lost a legend. His untimely death shook us all. People who weren’t fans of Michael even felt the impact of his death. I am grateful for his music and contributions to the world. Speculations and allegations about his involvement in any criminal activity should be laid to rest. It’s obvious many viewed his life as “abnormal” or “eccentric” but think about what “normal” is and ask yourself would someone from down the street or around the world consider you normal! I chose to post “Stranger in Moscow” because its one of the many songs where Michael expresses his feelings about his personal struggles. It’s a really sad, but revealing song.
STRANGER IN MOSCOW BY MICHAEL JACKSON
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
(kgb interrogator -
Russian to english translation)
Why have you come from the west?
Confess! to steal the great achievements of
The people, the accomplishments of the workers…
R.I.P Michael.
