Do you know who the original source is of naming the supposed otw outtakes? or are you just saying what is generally said across the internet? do you know if an engineer or producer close to Michael on an obscure website said many years ago that these was their names? Because we know invincible outtakes are only known because of Darkchilds old website so im just curious how we came to know the OTW names.

IOWA
Piece of classical music written by Michael, as confirmed by his sister Janet, in an interview with Q

Not one of them has been heard and those were songs to cry for. These are the things that he’s written for orchestras, that are classical music – like something by Bach or Beethoven.’
