why doesnt this song get the respect it deserves? I dont think MJ has ever made anything near as epic as this, its definently his most powerful work
 
this is by far the most heartwrenching song and music video michael has every created. it's definitely one of my favorites and i think it should be a lot more recognized than it is especially today when global warming is such a huge topic.
people should have listened to it back then and took it to heart and started to change something. but no things just became gradually worse.
 
"Earth Song" is brilliant and I don't know why it doesn't get the respect it deserves, but it makes me mad. The build up to the climax, the numerous cord changes in the song, Michael's vocals, the melody, the various different sections of the song, like the horn and piano sections, and the message are all genius, not to mention how lyrically strong it really is. The funny thing is, Michael wrote this song in the late 80s, 20 years almost before the enviornment became a hot topic for everyone. It's an amazing song and shows what a musical genius Michael is and what a concious person he is as well. He writes classical music, which this song is more closely related to then a pop song, but people just aren't aware of that and it gets ignored because everyone is fixated on his first two albums and none of his later work.

This song is my absolute fave of the History album. It's perfect, I love the video, it actually inspired me for a painting project I had to do for school :yes:
 
This song is genius. The climax needs no explanation for how awesome it is. More people need to hear/get reacquainted with this song, because it is a crime how forgotten it is in comparison to his other singles.
 
This song is very special to me.
This was the song that made me a fan and it
was my first time hearing an MJ song. i was totally blown away the very second i heard his vocals. Before this, i had no idea how he sounds like.
I just wish more people will get to hear thiss meaningful and powerful song.
 
At least in Europe this song was so heavily played, every time I put on the tv it was on! I don't know if some ppl don't give it credit, I do give it credit! :) And I heared about a church playing it to let their people see the need to be good to the environment. I think this song is ever more relevant right now, there is already so much nature destroyed...
 
Only Michael Jackson can make "aaahhh... oooh" one of the most original, melodic choruses you've ever heard.
 
When Michael goes so high, right before the climax of the call and respond with him and the chorus, when he sings "ahhahahahah", it's incredible how high he goes, and after the climax, when he does it with the "Ahhahaha" again.
 
Other than the end being a tad long and drawn out, it's an amazing song.

One of many MJ songs I fell instantly in love with.
 
This is one classic track and mygod the video..i so deperately wanted to learn more about the video...I know it said it was shot in real conditions.

I almost can't believe Michael's amazing vocals in the chorus...the aaaahhhhhhhhaaaa bit is just out of this world...it must have been so tough getting it right!

It is. That's the best part of the song to me.
 
Who says it doesn't get respect? It was Mike's biggest selling single in the UK. ^ weeks at number one and the Christmas number one in 1995.

It is a sublime piece of work. Def in his best 5 songs ever. I think he just slightly overplayed it at the time. Every performance he did around 95/96 was Earth Song, like there weren't any other singles from HIStory.
 
To be honest I prefer the more "harmonious" What About Us, the demo version of Earth Song. I just cannot get enough of the wonderful falsetto at the end. I'm repeating that part over and over.
 
Yes, Earth Song is absolutely incredible.
If I remember right, it's the reason why I became a full-time fan ;)
 
This is my fav part of the song. It's so beautiful, Michael's angelic voice... :wub:

"I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far"
 
Completly amazing song.

I remember years and years ago my brother thought Michael were a complete moron and when this song came on the radio he admitted that 'he was an idiot, but this song was unbeliveble'. (He has changed his mind about Michael now though!)

But yea, this song is sickenly good.
 
This song is amazing and very poweful and effective.
The first song I remember hearing and I fell inlove with MJ as soon as I heard it. :)
