I am 29 y/o and I had not heard this song before his passing. I discovered it on this wonderful website and have been playing it every since. I am so in love with it and I too can see the connection to what Michael may have been feeling as a older person who is has longed for a something as simple as childhood.
I love you, Michael. And will definitely see u in Heaven.
Michael Jackson, human being — had been speaking to us about LOVE – since before he became THE Michael Jackson – performer extraordinaire. Only GOD and his family truly cared about him as a real person.
Life is too short – don’t wait for someone to die to express how you really feel about them.
