This one is absolutely a grower. I thought it was ok at first, but I think it's quite beautiful now. I'm not sure whether it would work as a single, but it's a great album song regardless.

Just wanted to add something.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to talk about this but I found the song on a different site. (a blog site)

They are raving about this song. Even going as far as saying songs like this are missing from the industry today.
They have a poll up whether this song is a hit or miss, and 81 % voted it a hit!
Most are convinced this is Michael as well.

I'm not sure if I can put the link for that site up though.

Mark my words...each of the songs will have leaked before the release of the album. It's simply something that happens with every music release these days.

Tried my best typing up the lyrics to the song! :) It was kinna difficult (spent past hour rewinding and crap)... :lol: I know there are some parts that are not correct but I tried giving it a go.

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP
Michael Jackson

[1st Verse]
She's lookin' for a job and a finer place to stay,
She's lookin' for the hope in the empty promises,
She's workin' two jobs,
Keepin' alive,
She works in a resturaunt night and day,
She waits her life away,
She wipes the tears away,

[Hook]
She cries inside every time she feels this way,
And she's dying inside every time her baby cries, (No~)

[Chorus]
Keepin' your head up to the sky,
Keepin' your mind just stay alive,
Gimme your wings so we can fly,
(Keep your head up tonight)
Keepin' your head up to the sky,
And we can just rise up tell me now,
Gimme your wings so we can fly,

[2nd Verse]
Giving up the life of the birds in the trees,
And we're sucking up the air in the Earth from underneath,
(It's never too late) I can't even breathe,
(To see) I can't even see,
(Oh keep) Keep your head up don't give up today,
How long can we wait?
I wish that love would come today,

[Hook]
All you need is love,
Tell you I'm always coming soon,
And all you need is just a moment won't do,
Keep your head up,

[Repeat - Chorus]
Keepin' your head up to the sky,
Keepin' your mind just stay alive, (Just stay alive)
Gimme your wings so we can fly, (Fly away, fly away, fly away)
(Keep your head up tonight)
Keepin' your head up to the sky,
And we can just rise up tell me now,
Gimme your wings so we can fly,
(Oh, why)

[Bridge]
Everybody say the time is borrowed,
And hanging down your head just ain't no good,
And if you dance and rise above tomorrow, (Give it a chance)
Just give yourself a chance,
Fight the circumstance,
Rise and do it again,

[Repeat - Chorus w/Choir]
Keepin' your head up to the sky, (Oh God, Oh no)
Keepin' your mind just stay alive,
Gimme your wings so we can fly, (Hoo-hoo!)
(Yeah, yeah!)

[Keep your head up!] Keepin' your head up to the sky,
And we can just rise up tell me now, (Oh~)
Gimme your wings so we can fly, (Hoo-hoo!)

[Keep your head up!] Keepin' your head up to the sky,
(I needed you then, I needed you now, I needed you night right through the day)
Keepin' your mind just stay alive, (I needed you now)
Keepin' your wings so we can fly, (Hoo-hoo!)
(Yeah!)

[Keep your head up!] Keepin' your head up to the sky,
(I needed you then, I needed you now, I needed you night right through the day)
And we can just rise up tell me now, (I needed you now)
Gimme your wings so we can fly, (Hoo-hoo-hoo!)

[Ad-libs]
[Keep your head up!]
What about yesterday?
What about yesterday?
(Those stars gonna rise (gonna rise) today! Today!)

[Keep your head up!]
What about all their joy?
What about yesterday? (Oh~)
(Gonna shine, must fly, gonna rise (gonna rise) today! Today!)

[Keep your head up!]
(What about yesterday?
What about yesterday?)
(Those stars gonna rise (gonna rise) today! Today!)

[Keep your head up!]
What about all their joy?
What about yesterday?
(Gonna shine, must fly, gonna rise (gonna rise) today! Today!)

[Choir]
Keep your head up!
Those stars gonna rise (gonna rise) today! (Today)
Gonna shine, must fly, gonna rise (gonna rise) today! (Today)
(Oh~)

Keep your head up!
Those stars gonna rise (gonna rise) today! (Today)
(I needed you then, I needed you now, I needed you night right through the day,
I needed you now)
Gonna shine, must fly, gonna rise (gonna rise) today! (Today)
(Oh~)

Keep your head up!

Banning people because they don't think this is MJ is violation of freedom of speech.

Anyway, i'm 100% sure that this is MJ. Does anyone know when this was recorded? I like his voice, it's nice to hear real MJ lol. Unfortunately, i don't like the song too much... I don't like edited vocals at the end and the intro, which doesn't suit into ballad in my opinion and was definitely done after 25th...I don't know, i just don't like that the editings were done without MJ permission, IMO it would be better if they would just release a demo.
The song sounds pretty repetive though and nothing original.
But still - I feel so relaxed now because i know that the entire album will not be full of fake MJ. :)

BTW: Is this the only completed song that has leaked from Michael?
 
love the song but dont no why they would use such recognisable earth song bits??
Is ther any way we can ask if it is on the final version??/twitter??
 
I don't think this song should have been on the album. It's a 2 minute demo stretched to 5 minutes. Why can't we just have the demo?
 
I do like this, sounds like a great MJ anthem. I'm not sure about the parts from Earth Song, I didn't feel they fit too well, but the song is a definite earworm :D

Ditto I only thought it was okay to begin with but I like it, funnily enough mostly because of his voice :)
 
Thanks for the lyrics.

I can't stop saying it....This song is a MASTERPIECE!!! :) ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

This is one of the Cascio songs. Michael recorded with Eddie Cascio towards the end of 2007.

Wait a second! Are you sure? It sounds pretty dated to me, and it reminds me of On the line... It sounds like pure HIStory era. Maybe MJ recorded it in late 90s and then in 2007 he started working on it again?

Me too. :boohoo: :boohoo: It's such a bittersweet moment...Finally feeling the MJ high again after June 2009....but to know MJ's gone....Just makes me miss him even more...:boohoo: :boohoo:
 
I'm in tears I can't stop crying! I can feel him here with us! I got chills all over the feeling that only Michael can give us! I'm in heaven...
 
I was just over on the Maximum Jackson board...and like always, they're slamming it and being negative. Seriously this song is 100% Michael. Yes Earth Song lyrics were added in at the end.....but for the most part, it's a brand new song. It's ALL Michael.

I'm so sick and tired of people trying to find negative things just to be negative. I'm done with negative people..and that includes the Max-Jackson board.

Thank you Michael for this great song!
 
Can somebody please PM me the LINK or something else .. I really want to here the new song keep yr head up !? thanks in advance !
