34^th Anniversary of Michael Jackson’s Thriller


34 years ago the album Thriller was released. My favourite song from this album is “Human Nature.”

Michael Jackson: Human Nature:-30 November 1982: Album Thriller: Lyrics and Video

Looking out
Across the night-time
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
Get me out
Into the night-time
Four walls won't hold me tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do it that way
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why does he do me that way
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
See that girl
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why does he do me that way
I like livin' this way
I like lovin' this way

Morningside, the old man died and no one cried.They simply turned away...
And when he died, he left a table made of nails and pride...
And with his hands he carved these words inside... "For my children"

Morning light, Morning bright, I spent the night with dreams that make you weep...
Morning time, wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine...
For I recall the words the old man signed... "For my children"

And the legs were shaped with his hands
And the top made of the most beautiful oaken wood
And all the children that gathered around this table, they touched it with their laughter
and ahhh that was good

Morningside, an old man died and no one cried. He surely died alone...
Truth is sad, for not a child would claim the gift he had...
The words he carved became his epitaph... "For my children"
Home... going home... take me home... HOME.

Watch Orianthi rip the guitar. This girl surely practiced her scales.

This song is all about the feeling I get when I hear it. I still get a knot in my stomach today same as the first time I stumbled across it nearly 20 years ago. There's something about it and I can't explain, maybe the haunting base, sounds that conjure up images of long corridors or Elizabeth Fraser's somewhat mournful vocals.

The video is of an unborn fetus which I'd guess was a theme motivated by the heartbeat drum sound in the music which I could never decide if it infers life or death.

Massive Attack were a band that regularly used guest vocalists with great effect. If you're not familiar with their music I'd strongly suggest you should remedy that as soon as possible for your own wellbeing and maybe start with their album Mezzanine which will probably have several tracks on it that you're familiar with.

Massive Attack - Teardrop

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
Night, night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Of a confession
Fearless on…

Music and the Movies

Suicide Squad (2016): Harley Quinn: Movie scene: Eminem: Without me



In 2016 a DC Comics movie “Suicide Squad,” was released with great success. Yet again an iconic, extremely popular Eminem song, “Without Me ,” from 2002 was used to paint a picture. The picture painted –a master piece.

As at today’s date, “Without me,” is 15 years old. Wow, what an old school classic that is timeless and universal

So, my new favourite DC Comics superhero is Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie, who does a stunning job.

“But sometimes the shit just seems, everybody only wants to discuss me
So this must mean I'm disgusting, but it's just me I'm just obscene…….. Now this looks like a job for me so everybody just follow me
'Cause we need a little controversy, 'Cause it feels so empty without me”

The princess of pop: Kylie Minogue:I should be so lucky:1988

In my imagination
There is no complication
I dream about you all the time
In my mind a celebration
The sweetest of sensation
Thinking you could be mine

In my imagination
There is no hesitation
We walk together hand in hand
I'm dreaming
You fell in love with me
Like I'm in love with you
But dreaming's all I do
If only they'd come true

CHORUS
I should be so lucky
Lucky lucky lucky
I should be so lucky in love
I should be so lucky
Lucky lucky lucky
I should be so lucky in love


It's a crazy situation
You always keep me waiting
Because its only make believe
And I would come a-running
To give you all my loving
If one day you would notice me
My heart is close to breaking
And I can't go on faking
The fantasy that you'll be mine
I'm dreaming
That you're in love with me
Like I'm in love with you
But dreaming's all I do
If only they'd come true
I should be so lucky (so lucky, so lucky)
I should be so lucky
I, I, (I, I)
I should be so lucky (so lucky, so lucky)
I should be so lucky
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

Westlife: Total eclipse of the heart: 2006: Lyrics and Video

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in you eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
