The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

I completely forgot about Happy Song? Far, Far Away sounds Peter Pan-esque to me, and it was recorded in that period so I just naturally assumed

The Peter Pan songs (that we know of) include Neverland Landing, I'm Peter Pan, Happy Song, and Make a Wish.

Of those 4, Neverland Landing and Make a Wish are at least 90% vocally complete. Not sure about the other two though

Wouldn't the Peter Pan tracks count as Bad sessions (Make A Wish, Far Far Away, Neverland Landing, Peter Pan)

He never recorded Peter Pan and far far away

That's likely where Nisha Kataria's vocal part was supposed to come in tbh.

There is a girl who sings behind the entire track with Michael, assuming thats her, they both sing together the entire song

The third verse is empty, the instrumental drops out to eventually just the piano playing the melody for the key change, they didn't even record the key change they just put the old vocals on there pitched up for the "final" chorus

This one is very close. That string melody doesn't play in the beginning those, it's like a single measure of fluttery strings then we are right away into the song, after the 2nd verse, the song transposes and is just instrumental with just the piano playing, and then at the end they bring back in the vocals pitched up for the "hop on a rainbow" part once last time.

Question, the final version of BOTDF that was mixed for Dangerous has a runtime of about 5:44 minutes, while the released one has a runtime of 4:12. I've always thought that the released version was always missing a 3rd verse as the fact it doesn't have a bridge and only 2 choruses made it feel very short. Is it possible that the Dangerous version has a 3rd verse and more considering its 5:44 in length?

MJ what are you doing man lmao

Edit: some of these other recreations on this channel seem very thorough. Are they accurate?
