Once upon a time, I studied classical vocal music. There is a group of songs that often make me think of Michael. As a group, the song cycle describes emotional pain, loneliness, that feeling of being out of place in this world. I always felt these songs very deeply when I was younger. I think of them now and sometimes hum fragments of them when I am thinking of Michael on my not so good days. Here is a translation of one of them:

This song (music by Steve Porcaro and lyrics by John Bettis) has a beautiful melody and is perfectly suited to Michael's extraordinary voice. (I get goose bumps every time I hear it.) This is probably why it is a song that is almost exclusively identified with him even though other artists have covered it or adapted it in many ways. It is one of my top favorites. Porcaro reportedly had written it for his daughter, but was it remained unfinished at the time the melody went to Michael and Quincy Jones for consideration for the Thriller album.

I never thought it would come to be
That Michael Jackson could go before me.
But I am still living and here to see
Comeuppance meted out to his enemies.
Yet, I hope to see many more
Before Death comes to knock upon my door.
