Re: "Best of Joy" Thread
Does anyone know what he says 02:25 and further? The ad-libs??

This song is on repeat right now. So So Soothing..
It's like he came into my mind, found out how I feel about HIM and then wrote it on paper.
I love you Michael and yes, you ARE my best of joy :wub:
Same here. I think that's how most of the fans feel and that's why most of us love the song so much. It's like he's singing to all of us. And considering he is no longer with us, it feels even so much more special. But at the same time when ever I listen to the song, it makes me so so SO extremely sad that he is gone. :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo:
Finally when he was able to enjoy life again and able to feel joy again... his life was taken from him. And from us. :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: I really hope and pray to God that he knew how extremely LOVED he was....how MUCH we all cared (and still do) about him...and that no matter what had happened...WE were all still there...because we love him and care about him. I really hope he knew he never lost us. We never left. When I hear the song, it makes me smile when he sings "I am forever...we are forever"....Because it reminds me of the happy moments at his hotels and at his concerts when it felt like it was our own little happy world....like we were all a big, happy family. And to know we all still come to the forums, still miss him, still talk about him, still listen to his music...it feels like "we are forever". You know, we'll always be here...and MJ will always be with us in our hearts and thoughts and prayers and memories....and his music will always be here to bring us joy. But most of all....it's the happy memories that really are the "best of joy". He brought SO MUCH joy into our lives and at least I love to think about the special memories I have...it's now the memories that bring me joy. I am so happy that I was able to be on this earth at the same time MJ was here. I just wish I could get to see him again one day. That's what is so unbearable about it all. :boohoo: Before, you'd see pictures of him and even if you didn't get to see him yourself for a few years, you knew you might get to see him again SOMEDAY... somewhere in the world. But now you know you will NEVER get to see him again. There is no place you could ever go to again... no matter how much money you'd save...to get to see him again. :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: And it's so hard because on most days it doesn't feel like he's gone. I still have to keep telling myself "No...he really is GONE. He is not living on this planet anymore. You WON'T get to see him again." And then I hear his song being played somewhere while I am shopping or I see footage from concerts and I am like "Is he really gone?? He CAN'T be gone?? Why doesn't it feel like he's gone?!". I mean, I am GLAD it feels like he's not gone, that he is still so very present in my mind. That was one of my biggest fears...that each passing day he will fade more and more until he is a vague memory from the past. But thank God he's still very much alive in my thoughts and I hope it will always stay that way too. And if I there will ever come a day when he feels too far away...I'll just listen to "Best Of Joy" and I am sure I'll feel close to him again. :yes:
As long as we keep the memories alive....Michael will be alive. :yes:
Anyways...just wanted to say again how MUCH I love that song. I've had it stuck in my head since yesteday. Absolutely adore it. :wub:
I can tell Michael's vocal's too... Have been listening to them for long enough. The song sounds old... the music/vocals/arrangement to me it sound like a 70's song JMO opinion and I do love it.
Not saying it isn't more recent, Just what my ears hear.
nice!I transcripted the lyrics from the booklet.
...Best Of Joy is a timeless piece of Michael's personal feelings he wanted to share with each and every one of us. Michael was always grateful for being able to channel such beautiful lyrics and melodies. MJ would say melodies are ancient, they are in the heavens above waiting to be plucked. When the expressed sound of his imagination felt right he would look at me with a calm smile and say, "It's nice isn't it" Michael Jackson's Joy is Forever...
I have listened to this song SO many times, it's ridiculous. OMG I am so in love with it. I might be crazy, but I think this just may be my favorite MJ song EVER. I don't know if it's because of his passing, how he says "I/We are forever", or what... but I feel him so strongly on this track. I feel his love and presence and I can't get enough of it. It's so beautiful.
Yeah.. I've grown from "it's an OK song" to " This is addicting" to " I LOVE IT" And i'm not ashamed to say it.
Absolutely the best song on the Album,the only one that shows a glimpse of the album MJ was working.
