Michael Jackson: 1958 – 2009

Michael Jackson: 1958 - 2009

Mi primera impresión fue incredulidad, a través de Twitter (@hermeselsabio) me enteraba que Michael Jackson sufría un paro cardíaco, pero claro, si la fuente era TMZ, era obvio pensar que los gossips (chismes, copuchas) nunca paran en torno a Michael.

Mientras avanzaba la tarde, seguía leyendo a través de internet y, además viendo CNN, que Michael estaba muy grave. Luego se confirma su muerte y todo se vuelve irreal. Ya comienzan los especiales musicales de MTV Jams (R.I.P. Jams) y VH1 Soul que se tomarían todo el fin de semana rotando con los videos más connotados del astro musical.

El shock me llegó cuando por enésima vez oía (incrédulo aún) “We Are the World” en los especiales musicales de la radio, y más aún cuando despierto y recuerdo el sueño que lo reafirmaba: “Heal the World” entonado por millares de personas en torno al féretro de Jackson.

Michael se ha ido para siempre de la Tierra, pero dejó un gran legado para la música, y para múltiples artistas se convirtió en una inspiración, un modelo a seguir, igualar o superar.

A través del tiempo se multiplicarán las dedicatorias, especiales, conmemoraciones, y no me quedaré abajo, menos cuando tenemos tanto material con el que podremos recordar por siempre al Rey del pop, al Rey de la música negra.

El Rey ha muerto, que viva el Rey!.

With so much to give
Understand me, sugar

There’s nothin’ wrong
With me lovin’ you
Baby, no, no
And givin’ yourself to me can never be wrong
If the love is true
Oh, babe, ooh, ooh

How sweet and wonderful life can be?
Whoo-ooh

To get it on with me
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Won’t push you, baby

Stop beatin’ ’round the bush, hey

Gonna get it on
Beggin’ you, baby, I want to get it on
You don’t have to worry that it’s wrong
If the spirit moves you, let me groove you good
Let your love come down
Oh, get it on, come on, baby

Do you know I mean it?
I’ve been sanctified
Hey, hey
Girl, you give me good feelings, so good

Nothin’ wrong with love
If you want to love me
Just let yourself go
Oh, baby
Let’s get it on

After everything has settled down
We can talk
But for now
Rock wit u
(Ooaoh)
There’s so much you say without a sound
When we’re getting down
Rock wit u

Amazed to find someone so fine
Up in here alone, I feel im bout to lose my mind
Was gonna spend the evening with my crew
Had no idea I would run into the likes of you
The dance floor is so ti-tight
Somewhat like the way my hands move on your thighs tonight
Oh you wanna turn that thing around
Girl I like the way that sounds
(Ooaoh)
Baby later on

After everything is settled down
We can talk
But for now
Just wanna Rock wit u
(Oaooh)
When we’re on the floor, baby
There’s so much you say without a sound
(Ohooh)
When we’re gettin down
Wanna rock wit u
(Ooaoh)

Amazed like a kid by the things that you did
Specially when the DJ was playing the best of ‘BIG’
Don’t ever want this evenin’ to end
But if it does I wanna know when can it start again
(Don’t even know your name)
But Just your eyes alone makes me want to get out tha game
The towel is about to be thrown
Hopefully girl
(Ooaoh)
Later on

After everything is settled down
We can talk
But for now
I wanna Rock wit u
When we’re on the floor
There’s so much you say without a sound
The way we gettin’ down
Rock wit u
(Ooaoh)
Maybe later on
After everything is settled down
We can talk
But for now
Just wanna Rock wit u
When we’re on the floor (baby)
There’s so much you say without a sound
When we’ getting down
Wanna rock wit u
(Ooaoh)

Feels so good why not let it rock
Time will tell if we should be closer
Later on or just for the night
On the floor let the beats take us over
Love to sway from the left to your right
Can’t let go, yo, my heart wants to hold you girl
Like my hands that’s locked on your side
Feels so good, don’t want to let go of you
Don’t want to let go of ya
Let go of ya
Don’t wan’ let go of ya
Don’t want to let go of ya

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh
Baby later on

After everything is settled down
We can talk
But for now
Just wanna Rock wit u
(Ooaoh)
When we’re on the floor(baby)
There’s so much you say without a sound
(So much you say without a sound )
When we’re getting down
(When we’re gettin’ )
Baby don’t just wanna rock wit you later on
(Later on)

After everything is settled down
(Baby girl,baby girl)
We can talk
(Baby girl,baby girl)
But for now
Rock wit u
(Ooaoh)
When we’re on the floor
There’s so much you say without a sound
When we’re getting down
Rock wit u

I’m standing here looking in the mirror
Saying “damn” to myself
I should have known the day would come
That she would find somebody else
And all the things I took her through
Shit, I shouldn’t have lasted this long
Now I’m at this telephone booth calling Tyrone

[1] – Cuz when a woman’s fed up
(No matter how you beg, no)
It ain’t nothing you can do about it
(Nothing you can do about it)
It’s like running out of love
(No matter what you say, no)
And then it’s too late to talk about it
(Too late to talk about it)

Now let’s talk about how it all goes down
I used to make love to you daily
When the night fell the same
And anytime that you were hurt
I could feel your pain
And if I had a dollar
It was yours, yeah
And whenever we would go out
I would front the bill
But now the up is down
And the silence is sound
I hurt you too too many times
Now I can’t come around

[1] – Cuz when a woman’s fed up
(No matter how you beg, no)
It ain’t nothing you can do about it
(Nothing you can do about it)
It’s like running out of love
(No matter what you say, no)
And then it’s too late to talk about it
(Too late to talk about it)

La da da da da la la da da
La da da da da la la da da
If you don’t want to find out the hard way
Then listen to this song while the record plays

[1] – Cuz when a woman’s fed up
(No matter how you beg, no)
It ain’t nothing you can do about it
(Nothing you can do about it)
It’s like running out of love
(No matter what you say, no)
And then it’s too late to talk about it
(Too late to talk about it)

You can cry a river
‘Till an ocean starts to form, yeah
But she will always remember
Cuz she’s a woman scorned
And if you ever get her back
It will never be the same
She’s cuttin’ the corners of her eyes
Every time she see your face
Now your trust is out the door
She don’t want you no more
You used to tell your boys, not me
And she would always be there for you
If you had took the time to see
What that woman meant to you
Is what the mirror said to me, whoa
She was raised in Illinois
Right outside of Chicago
Some of the best cookin’ you ever had
Yes, it was and I miss her
Hey woman, if you’re listening
I said I miss you baby

[Cee-Lo]
I got some bad news this morning
Which in turn made my day
When this someone spoke I listened
All of a sudden, has less and less to say
Ohhhhhh how could this be?
All this time, I’ve lived vicariously
Who’s gonna save my soul now?
Who’s gonna save my soul now?
How will my story ever be tollllld now?
How will my story be tollllld now?

Made me feel like somebody
Hmmm, like somebody else
Although he was imitated often
It felt like I was bein myself
Is it a shame that someone else’s song
Was totally and completely dependant on
Who’s gonna save my soul now?
Who’s gonna save my soul now?
I wonder if I’ll live to grow old now
Gettin high cause I feel so lowwwww down

And maybe it’s a little selfish
All I have is the memory
Yet I never stopped to wonder-ahhhhh
Was it possible you were hurtin worse than me
Still my hunger turns to greeeeed
Cause what about what I neeeeeed?!
And OHHHH~! Who’s gonna save my soul now?
Who’s gonna save my soul now?
Ohhhh I know I’m out of control now
Oooh-oooh, tired enough to lay my own soul down

Here we are, still together
We are one…
So much time, wasted,
Playing games with love

So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over
So many years we’ve tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over

How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fears
Kept me wondering, yeahhh
If I’d always, always be in love

So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over

So many years we’ve tried
And kept our love alive
‘Cause baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over

So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over

So many years we’ve tried
And kept our love alive
‘Cause baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over

So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over

So many years we’ve tried
to kept our love alive
‘Cause baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over (over, over)

So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over

So many years we’ve tried
And kept our love alive
‘Cause baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over (over, over, over)

So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over (over…fade out)
