Also in her song "Unbreakable"

"All in the family like the Jacksons
and have enough kids to make a band like Joe and Katherine"

Caged Bird always did remind me of Michael.

Also Prelude to A Kiss by akeys
"Sometimes I feel..... like I don't belong anywhere.
And it's gonna take.... so long for me to get to somewhere.........

Sometimes I feel so heavy hearted.., but I can't explain cuz I'm so guarded.
But that's a lonely road to travel, and a heavy load to... bear.

And it's a long, long way to heaven but I gotta get there.....
Can you send an angel.....?
Can you send me an angel...... to guide me.
"
 
Celine Dion - Because You Loved Me

This song reminds me of mike so much, after everything he accomplished in his life, he always did it for the fans that's why this kind, gentle, humble man did so great in life and was loved by the world.

Despite what the media and haters did to crucify such a angelic soul, he remained true to himself through his music , his innocence, his compassion, his genuis and god-given talent - this man was the greatest and will always be!

Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Judy Garland.... I was flying on the plane to Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas last Thursday and I saw rainbows as we were gliding across the sky. I automatically thought about this song and I thought about Michael, being he was a fan of Judy Garland. That's where we'll find him: Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

"I miss you",Diana Ross


"I have a dream",ABBA
 
Never Neverland (Fly Away) by Scott Alan
http://www.last.fm/music/Stephanie+J.+Block/_/Never+Neverland+(Fly+Away)

She'd tell me 'bout Captain Hook and all of his men
Who followed Peter with a hook replaced as his hand
In those tales, bad guys seldom did win
So the Captain was eaten and Wendy had twins
That's the story as I recall
Though I may have made up the end
I don't remember much at three feet tall
Except for when I'd say,
"Mom, let me go to Never Neverland
Let me fly for one day
Throw that fairy dust in my hair
As I pretend I'm flying away"
I'm flying away

Well to my surprise, I grew up too fast,
And that easy life of Tinkerbell never did last
So I silently dream myself far, far away
Where I would be immortalized like Peter one day
And that's my childhood as I recall
Though in some ways it never did end
And now I'm standing, well, a little bit taller
Except for when I say,

"Mom, let me go to Never Neverland
Let me fly for one day
Throw that fairy dust in my hair
As I pretend I'm flying away"
I'm flying away

And though life is never easy as we as children read in the books
Where fairy dust could just fly you so far away
And all I ask is that you leave me my imagination
So I can pretend I'm flying away
I'm flying away
And that is where I’ll stay
Right here in Never Neverland
I'd be flying, I'd be dying
For love and appreciation
Where mermaids would sing
And fairies would ring
Right down here in Never Neverland
And it's second to the left and straight on 'til morning
Or was it second to the right and straight on 'til morning?
In Never Neverland
In my Never Neverland
 
I hope you dance by Lee Ann Womack
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

Candle in the Wind- Elton John
Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall you
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend never will

Loveliness we've lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry
For our nation's golden child
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall you
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend never will

Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye England's rose
From a country lost without your soul
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you'll ever know

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And you footsteps will always fall you
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend never will
 
Meet Me Halfway by The Black Eyed Peas

I heard the song and it instantly made me think of Michael:

this two songs by alicia keys remind me of michael :(

Doesn't Mean Anything

Used to dream of being a millionaire, without a care
But if I’m seeing my dreams and you aren’t there
’cause it’s over
That just wont be fair, darling.
I’d rather be a poor woman living on the street,
No food to eat
’cause I don’t want no pie if I have to cry
’cause it’s over
When you said goodbye
All at once
I had it all
But it doesn’t mean anything
Now that you’re gone
From above,
Seems I had it all
But it doesn’t mean anything
Since you’re gone
Now I see myself through different eyes
It’s no surprise
But being alone would make you realize, when it’s over
All in love is fair
I shoulda been there, I shoulda been there, I shoulda shoulda
All at once
I had it all
But it doesn’t mean anything
Now that you’re gone
From above,
Seems I had it all
But it doesn’t mean anything
Since you’re gone
I know I pushed you away
What can I do that would save our love
Take these material things
They don’t mean nothing
Its you that I want
All at once
I had it all
But it doesn’t mean anything
Now that you’re gone
From above,
Seems I had it all
But it doesn’t mean anything
Since you’re gone



Like You'll Never See Me Again

If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we have
Cause I'm everything that you were looking for

If I couldn't feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I'll be wishing you were here
To be everything that I've been looking for

I don't want to forget the present is a gift
And I don't want to take for granted the time you may have here with me
Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed, so

Everytime you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Everytime you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
Everytime you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you'll love me
Love me like you'll never see me again

How many really know what love is
Now you never will
Do you know until you lose it
That it's everything that we are looking for

When I wake up in the morning
With you beside me
I'm so thankful that I found
Everything that I've been looking for

I don't want to forget the present is a gift
And I don't want to take for granted the time you may have here with me
Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed, so

Everytime you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Everytime you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
Everytime you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you'll love me
Love me like you'll never see me again
 
"Fireflies" by Faith Hill. Sounds like the song is written about the kind of girl he should have been with.

Before you met me i was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
Before you knew me i traveled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love
Because i was taught to dream
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture tinkerbell
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But i could always tell

[chorus]
I believe in fairytales and dreamers dreams like bed sheet sails
And i believe in peter pan and miracles
And anything i can to get by
And fireflies

Before i grew up i saw you on a cloud
I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings
Before i grew up i heard you whisper so loud
"life is hard, and so is love, child, believe in all these things"
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture tinkerbell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But i could always tell

[chorus]

Before you met me i was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
Before you knew me i traveled 'round the world
And i slept in castles and fell in love
Because i was taught to dream

till i hear you sing once more.

The day starts, the day ends
Time crawls by
Night steals in, pacing the floor
The moments creep,
Yet I can’t bear to sleep
Till I hear you sing

And weeks pass, and months pass
Seasons fly
Still you don’t walk through the door
And in a haze
I count the silent days
Till I hear you sing once more.

And sometimes at night time
I dream that you are there
But wake holding nothing but the empty air

And years come, and years go
Time runs dry
Still I ache down to the core
My broken soul
Can’t be alive and whole
Till I hear you sing once more

And music, your music
It teases at my ear
I turn and it fades away and you’re not here

Let hopes pass, let dreams pass
Let them die
Without you, what are they for?
I’ll always feel
No more than halfway real
Till I hear you sing once more
 
This one... I think he would have liked that. A perfect lullaby for any child....

Return to Paradise
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUjpjZnA4Pw

Kings and queens and frogs and princes
Gnomes and dwarfs and dragons old
Treasures hidden, golden sphinxes
Lovely maiden, giants bold
Hush my little lovely darlings
Dream on through the deepest night
Here's a kiss for each of you
Wonder where you're going to
When you're sleeping tight
Return to paradise...

Sometimes when it's really quiet
I come running to your bed
Listen hard to hear your breathing
Stroke your tender little heads
You are flowers sent from Heaven
On a gentle golden breeze
Here's a kiss for each of you
Maomoondog's singing too
Lullabies of peace
Return to paradise...

On a ship to elfland wonders
Just a little trip away
There you're playing in the starshine
Underneath the milky way
All the angels in their glory
Will be watching over you
Dream on while the stars are falling
(Falling on you)
May your dreams come true
 
SMASH INTO YOU - BEYONCE it always reminds on michael and my fav part is the end

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxHX8RLlgc8

Head down as i watch my feet take turns hitting the ground
Eyes shut, i find myself in love racing the earth
And i soaked in your love
And love is right in my path, in my grasp
And me and you belong

I wanna run, run smash into you
I wanna run, run, smash into you

Ears closed, what i hear the world just has to know
Cause' i know that what we have is worth first place in gold
And i soaked in your love
And love is right in my path, in my grasp
And me and you belong

And i, i wanna run, run smash into you
I'm willing to run, run smash into you

Whooaaahooo whooaaahooo

Head down as i watch my feet take turns hitting the ground
Eyes shut, i'm in love and i'm racing the earth
And i soaked in your love
And love is right in my path, in my grasp
And me and you belong

And i wanna run, run smash into you
I'm willing to run, run smash into you
I'm willing to run run run run run ooh ooh ooh ooh
I wanna run, run smash into you
I'm willing to run, run smash into you
 
Looking in

by Mariah Carey​


You look at me and see the girl
Who lives inside the golden world
But don't believe
That's all there is to see
You'll never know the real me ​

She smiles through a thousand tears
And harbors adolescent fears
She dreams of all
That she can never be
She wades in insecurity
And hides herself inside of me ​

Don't say she takes it all for granted
I'm well aware of all I have
Don't think that I am disenchanted
Please understand ​

It seems as though I've always been
Somebody outside looking in
Well here I am for all of them to bleed
But they can't take my heart from me
And they can't bring me to my knees
They'll never know the real me ​

I've loved this song for many years. I think every line can be part of his story as a celebrity and all the pain he had...I'm sure some others here have heard this song and thought of him before and after his passing.


 
Funny.. I haven't listened to this song in years and suddenly the chorus just started to play in my mind. At first I didn't remember what song it was but I searched for it.. and it's like it's sung about Michael. Sarah Connor - Imagining


Someone like you is rare
You're not afraid to care
Always say how you feel
It's part of your appeal
We've shared some special times
I'm glad that you are mine
You showed me a better way
It's shame you couldn't stay

I wish the miles between us
could only disappear
Until that day I'll just
hold back the tears

Imagining you're right here with me
Thinking of all that could be
Imagining your gentle touch
I'm missing you ooh so much
My imagination's running
right out of control
I'm missing you more
than you could know

You show such tenderness
I feel that I've been blessed
We've got a chemistry
That feels so right to me
I know you always said
It had to be like that
But sometimes I feel like I am
going out of my mind

I know for now that we're
gonna have to wait
The rest we are gonna
have leave to fate
It won't be long before
you're here with me
'Cause it's our destiny baby
 
I've always imagined dancing with him to a song called "This Year's Love" by David Gray
But after his napping I'm too afraid to listen to it.

and....

Call The Man - Celine Dion

Close the door
Shut the world away
All the fights gone from this wounded heart
Across the floor
Dreams and shadows play
Like wind blown refugees

Call the man
Who deals in love beyond repair
He can heal the world
Of hearts in need of care
Shine a light ahead
When the next step is unclear
Call the man
Hes needed here

I close my eyes
I remember when
Your sweet love filled this empty room
The tears I cry
Wont bring it back again
Unless the lonely star should fall

Call the man
Who deals in love beyond repair
He can heal the world
Of hearts in need of care
Shine a light ahead
When the next step is unclear
Call the man
Hes needed here

Needed in the chaos and confusion
From the plains to city hall
Needed where the proud who walk the wire are set to fall

Call the man
Who deals in once upon a time
Maybe he
Can mend this broken heart of mine
Shine a light ahead
Now the future isnt clear
Call the man
Hes needed here
Call the man
Hes needed here

Hes needed here
Hes needed here
Call the man

Hes needed here
Right here right now
 
I Cried For You - Katie Melua

You’re beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you

But others pass, they never pause
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you’re like a wild rose
They never understand, why

I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter

But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper

I’ll cross the sea for a different world
With your treasure, a secret
For me to hold

In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met
They may not know how much you meant to me


I cried for you
And the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter

But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper

Without you now I see
How fragile the world can be
And I know you’ve gone away
But in my heart you’ll always stay

I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter

But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper

"Last Night On Earth" (Delta Goodrem)

It's the last night on earth before the great divide
My hands are shaking time was never on our side
And there's no such thing as a beautiful goodbye
As an ordinary day I prayed for you a thousand times

It's never enough
No matter how many times I tried to tell to tell you this is love

If tomorrow never comes I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
If tomorrow falls asleep can you hold me first
I'm gonna love you like it's the last night on earth
Like it's the last night on earth

A penny for your thoughts
A picture so it lasts
Let's knock down the walls of immortality
Your fingers on my skin only you can hear my fear
Only you can help me heal
I see forever with you here

It's never enough no matter how many miles stand between us this is love

If tomorrow never comes I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
If tomorrow falls asleep can you hold me first
I'm gonna love you like it's the last night on earth

It's never enough
No it's never enough
(it's never enough)
Oohh

The afterglow
The horizon line
The shadows fall
Will you still be mine
Will you still be mine
Will you still be mine I ask

If tomorrow never comes I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
If tomorrow falls asleep can you hold me first
I'm gonna love you like it's the last night on earth

a song that reminds me of Michael in a funny and happy way is the: IGNITION REMIX by R KELLY, because i love when i see him in Home Movies dancing inside the car to this song, and by the way, he does the sickest moves ever, we can see clearly that the music is inside of him!!!

here is the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpuqDRUhjKo
 
Just some months after "The return of the king", I lost for the second time in my life someone I loved dearly. But he had been sick for months and his passing was the relieved he needed. This song now means even more to me, since it says so much and so well what I feel about my dear Michael, the third person I have lost and whose passing hurts me so much. Michael was full of dreams and hopes, but he needed to sleep, he needed to rest. I hope and pray his passing was like it is described in this song... smooth and gentle, just the end of his journey.

Dear Michael... I miss you so much... I hope the new world will come soon and you will wake up there, surrounded by the ones you love the most, healthy, free, saved and loved. For I know... I do know... you are only sleeping untill we see life with no end... at last.

Into the West
(Annie Lenox, form "The return of the King")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgcoBKWTW14

Lay down,
your sweet and weary head.
Night is falling.
You have come to journey’s end.

Sleep now, and dream
of the ones who came before.
They are calling,
from across a distant shore.

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see.
All of your fears will pass away.
Safe in my arms,
you’re only sleeping.

What can you see,
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
to carry you home.

And all will turn,
to silver glass.
A light on the water.
All souls pass.

Hope fades,
Into the world of night.
Through shadows falling,
Out of memory and time.

Don’t say,
We have come now to the end.
White shores are calling.
You and I will meet again.
And you’ll be here in my arms,
Just sleeping.

What can you see,
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
to carry you home.

And all will turn,
to silver glass.
A light on the water.
Grey ships pass
Into the West.
