Songs NOT by MJ that remind you of him

Here's 3 songs that reminds me of Michael:


I Still Remember-Blackmore's Night

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAVU86CLgjI&feature=player_embedded

I thought of you the other day
How worlds of change led us astray
Colors seem to fade to gray
In the wake of yesterday...
You looked into my eyes
You had me hypnotized
And I can still remember you

I had a dream of you and I
A thousand stars lit up the sky
I touched your hand and you were gone
But memories of you live on...

You looked into my eyes
You had me hypnotized
And I can still remember you
Those moments spent together
Promising forever
And I can still remember you

Do you ever think of me
And get lost in the memory
When you do, I hope you smile
And hold that memory a while...

Again Someday-Blacckmore's Night

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=730z_TJcUEI&feature=player_embedded

Now you're gone
We're left to carry on
Though the night seems twice as long
And here within my heart
I don't feel very strong
But we will meet again

Now you're gone
We're left to carry on
In the wind I hear your song
With every passing hour
I'm feeling more alone
But we will meet again
Someday


Village Lanterne-Blackmore's Night

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvJwEu9ghvM&feature=player_embedded

Don't shed a tear for me
I stand alone
This path of destiny
Is all my own
Once in the hands of fate
There is no choice
An echo on the wind
You'll hear my voice...

Some choose to fall behind
Some choose to lead
Some choose a golden path
Laden with greed
But it's the noble heart
That makes you strong
And in that heart, I'm with you all along...

The olde village lanterne
Is calling me onward
Leading wherever I roam
The olde village lanterne
A light in the dark
Bringing me closer to home...

So when you think of me
Do so with pride
Honor and bravery
Ruled by my side
And in your memory
I will remain
I will forever be within the flame...

Now at the journey's end
We've traveled far
And all we have to show
Are battle scars
But in the love we shared
We will transcend
And in that love, our journey never ends...

So many beautiful songs posted here.. :cry:

Save the best for last - especially the first part:

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
 
Yellow - Coldplay

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAME8GDRTfI

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called 'Yellow'

So then I took my time
Oh what a thing to've done
And it was all yellow

Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know? You know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know? For you I bleed myself dry
For you I bleed myself dry

It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for

Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do


:cry: :cry: :cry:

Another One Bites the Dust - Queen

I just recently discovered the genius that is Freddie Mercury, he reminds me so much of Michael.

and it saddens me that they are both no longer with us. :(

Interesting that you decided to pick that one, as it was MJ who suggested they release it as a single. :) I think he said something like "You're insane if you don't make this your next single" :cheeky:
 
"My Immortal"

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone


These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase


When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
 
Leona Lewis - Better in Time - just listened to this and bawled my eyes out :weeping: :weeping: I cried so hard. Thought I had no more tears to cry, but oh my the pain in my heart right now. I love you Michael and always will :cry: :praying:

It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through


Going coming
Thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All that I know is I'mma be ok

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time


I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me

Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings

If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that's the path
I'll believe in
And I know time will heal it
If you didn't notice boy you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'mma be ok


Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will


Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to (yes I do)
It'll all get better in time
 
This song does remind me of Michael in a way.

Ocean Gypsy-Blackmore's Night

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JysW6eI5_TU

Tried to take it all away,
Learn her freedom... just inside a day,
And find her soul to find there fears are laid...
Tried to make her love their own,
They took her love... they left her there,
They gave her nothing back that she would want to own...

Gold and silver rings and stones,
Dances slowly off the moon,
No one else could know, she stands alone...
Sleeping dreams will reach for her,
She can not say the words they need,
She knows she's alone and she is free...

Ocean Gypsy of the moon,
The sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold...
Ocean Gypsy where are you?
The shadows followed by the stars have turned to gold...
Turned to gold...

Then she met a hollow soul,
Filled him with her light and was consoled,
She was the moon and he the sun was gold...
Eyes were blinded with his light...
The sun she gave reflected back the night
The moon was waning almost out of sight...

Softly Ocean Gypsy calls...
Silence holds the stars a while,
They smile sadly for her where she falls...
Just the time before the dawn,
The sea is hushed the ocean calls her,
Day has taken her and now she's gone...

No one noticed when she died,
Ocean Gypsy shackled to the tide,
The ebbing waves, the turning spreading white...

Something gone within her eyes,
Her fingers, lifeless, stroked the sand,
Her battered soul was lost,
She was abandonned...

Silken threads like wings still shine,
Wind swept pleasures still make patterns
in her lovely hair... so dark and fine...
Stands on high beneath the seas, cries no more,
her tears have dried...
Oceans weep for her, the ocean sighs
 
Bette Midler : In My Life

There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better.
And some have gone, and some remain.

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can't recall.
Some are dead and some are living.
In my life I love them all.

But of all these friends and lovers,
There is no one compares with you.
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.

Though I know I'll never ever lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them.
In my life I love you more.

Though I know I'll never ever lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think of them.
But in my life I loved you more.
I love you more.
I love you more.
 
I posted this one in "Songs which you can dedicate 2 ur love 4 MJ" too.

It's a wonderufl and sad german song, it's called "Unendlich" (Endlessy) by Cassandra Steen

It's just so perfect, it goes something like

You came across me to teach me something,
I was blessed with you as a part of me
We had our time, I'm thankful for that
But you are leaving a gap that no one can fill
And I promise you to be happy
To not spend my life with grief
I want to share the joy you brought me to carry on like you once did

I miss you endlessly
You will never be forgotten
Life holds me off from you
But I carry you with me forever

relief for you, no more pain
you are careless
but the farewell is hard
your voice I will miss
It's already so quiet
This loss will torture me even if you don't want to

Your smile will be in my memory
Your strength inspires me to recovery
the dignity you never lost
the love that stayed until the end


On english it sounds differently of course, there are no good rhymes and so on. It makes me cry :(
 
This song also reminds me of Michael. Even though it is pretty much a Christmas song:

Lord Of The Dance-Blackmore's Night

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXfXMVUxVl4

I danced in the morning when the world had begun
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

'Tis the gift to be simple,
'tis the gift to be free.
'Tis the gift to come down
where we ought to be.
And when we find ourselves
in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley
of love and delight.

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend
we shall not be ashamed.
To turn, turn
will be our delight,
'Till by turning, turning
we come round right.

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

I danced in the morning when the world had begun
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he
 
Coldplay-Fix You

Because...
When I try my best but I don't succeed
When I get what you want but not what I need
When I feel so tired but I can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down my face
When I lose something I can't replace
When I love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Michael were my lights that guided me home..
And ignite my bones
He always fixed me..


and R. Kelly-The Worlds Greatest
 
I had just discover this song on you tube. And it is a tribute to Michael Jackson.

Fade Away-Navin Kundra, Rishi Rich & Jay Sean

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2bFx2LZWjA

Nothing is the same as before
I can’t move on
Don’t wanna try
All the joy that I ever knew
Was taken away
Kissed slowly good-bye

Tell me who be watching over you
When I feel you smiling down on me
Never knew life could ever be so cruel
I’m living off memories of you

Even though you’re gone
I won’t let you fade away
Never fade away
Never fade away[x2]

Never had these days be this cold
This sky be this grey
Since he took you away
I can’t find the reason to breathe
No reason to smile
Girl I want you around

Tell me who be watching over you
When I feel you smiling down on me
Never knew life could ever be so cruel
I’m living off memories of you

Even though you’re gone
I won’t let you fade away
Never fade away
Never fade away[x2]

scuzatzi dar nu stiu indïana:D

Even though you’re gone
I won’t let you fade away
Never fade away
Never fade away[x4]

I just love this song so much. And it just makes me cry when I hear it.

OMG... this is perfect.
It really captures so much of the pain we are going through. I think we all know somewhere in our hearts he would like us to be this sad, but... we can't help it. We just can't do it. I just look at these months and all I see is a long and sad road. Where are we going to? I really don't know.

Is this really real????? Are we really going through this??? How can this be?? HOw???
 
While Michael was dying I was half across the world watching The Lion King. For me 'The Circle of Life' and 'He Lives In You' now have a special place in my heart.

But the one song that says EVERYTHING I have ever felt about Michael is 'The Truth' by India.Arie

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZwJqaeK9js

Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly because
His light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie no


I remember the very first day that I saw him
I found myself immediately intrigued by him
It's almost like I knew this man from another life
Like back then maybe I was his husband maybe he was my wife
And even,things I don't like about him are fine with me
Cause it's not hard for me to understand him cause he's so much like me
And it's truly my pleasure to share his company
And I know that it's God's gift to breathe
The air he breathes

Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly because
His light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie (no)ohhhhhhhhh!



How can the same man that makes me so mad
Do you know what he did-(Spoken)
Turn right around and kiss me so soft
Girl do you know what he did-(Spoken)
If he ever left me I wouldn't even be sad no
Cause there's a blessin' in every lesson
And I'm glad that I knew him at all


Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly because
His light it shines so bright no


I love the way he speaks
I love the way he thinks
I love the way that he treats his mama
I love that gap in between his teeth
I love him in every way that a woman can love a man
From personal to universal but most of all
It's unconditional

You know what I'm talking about-(Spoken)
That's the way I feel
And I always will-(Spoken)

There ain't no substitute for the truth
Either it is or isn't
(Cause he is the truth)
You see the truth it needs no proof
Either it is or it isn't
(Cause he is the truth)
Now you know the truth by the way it feels
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
Because he is, yes he is
I wonder does he know
 
My Heart Will Go On by celine dione

Sweet Dreams by beyonce

Toi, tu es toujours la (you are always there) by tena arena

I don't like listening to this one, because it reminds me of Michael in a sad way...idk why...
Loves comes around by keri and kanye (only because it mentions michael in the song :( )
 
Today I was listening to Mariah Carey's #1s, when One Sweet Day came on I choked up when she said "Never had I imagined living without your smile." I had to skip it, obviously.
 
"Ain’t No Reason" by Brett Dennen. Reminds me of what Michael stood for.

There ain’t no reason things are this way
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way,
We do it everyday.

Preachers on the podium speaking of saints
Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend you whole life working for something,
Just to have it taken away.
People walk around pushing back their debts
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets
Talking 'bout nothing, not thinking 'bout death
Every little heartbeat, every little breath
People walk a tight rope on a razor’s edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen
Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence

There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I don’t know why I say the things that I say,
But I say them anyway

But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set my free, yes.

Prison walls still standing tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all
Keep building bombs, gonna drop them all
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul
Like a lung, it's filled with coal, suffocating slow
The wind blows wild and I may move
But politicians lie and I am not fooled
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit, to argue the truth
The air on my skin and the world under my toes
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love, I try to follow

Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set my free, yes.

There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way,
We do it everyday.

Waiting Just For You-Blackmore's Night

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ql4bsVSKAg

They say that it's always darkest right before the dawn
They say that I must be strong just to carry on
But they don't know that I would wait my whole lifetime through
Because of you, my love, that I'd be waiting just for you

There you stood, amazing shining for the whole world to see
And I knew an angel had been sent to watch over me

So I'll be waiting, hoping, dreaming, loving you
Because I know, my love, that you do love me too

They say that it's always darkest right before the dawn
They say that I must be strong just to carry on
But they don't know that I would wait my whole lifetime through
Because of you, my love, that I'd be waiting just for you

There you stood, amazing shining for the whole world to see
And I knew an angel had been sent to watch over me

So I'll be waiting, hoping, dreaming, loving you
Because I know, my love, that you do love me too
 
"R. Kelly - I Wish"
(This was almost the only song that isn't Michael's that I listened to after he passed - and this has for years been one of my absolutely favourite songs)

[youtube]UBT2jsEKPJY[/youtube]


"R. Kelly - I Wish REMIX"
(This is another one of those, but he's kind of overusing the "n-word" though)

[youtube]VdX31hyh6HM[/youtube]​
 
Colors Of The Wind from Pocahontas

I dunno that seems like a song Michael would have admired and agreed with
