Michael Jackson | 1958 - 2009



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.
