does anyone else start tearing when this song goes on? I cant even take listening to it sometimes. It makes me sad, him asking for people to be there for him, and right after the song came out everybody in the world besides his loyal fans abanded him. I get really upset thinking about, when he was alive, i feel like I should have done more, idk what though.

apologies for my ranting, just a way to let out instead of being so built up over him all the time.
 
This was one of those songs I kept playing on repeat after he died, I absolutely drowned in my own sorrow listening to this song.
For me it's like, if the passing of Michael has a "sound" or a "score" then it's this song, at least for me.

I still get messed up by this song, especially watching the sermon in the video. :cry:
 
This song kept playing in the background during the funeral, so this will be an emotional song for me to hear when it comes on.
 
Tearing up? Oh Yeah - I only listened to this for the first time since 6/25 on Michael's birthday when I watched the video MJStarlight created - and I haven't been able to listen to it since, just thinking about it makes me feel bad. Haven't listened to "Childhood" either - would finish me off.
 
I had heard that song for the first time today since Michael's horrible death. I had heard it towards the end of that Oprah MJ special. And that was one of Michael's songs I really thought I was really ready to hear again. How wrong was I. The very second I had heard that song. Was when I had really broke down and cry. My face was just totally drenched with my tears. I am crying now because that song is playing in my head. I used to always love that song. And I listen to it almost all of the time. But now I don't think I can ever go back and listen to that song again without crying.
 
I cried when I heard it too toward the end of the Orpah special. It showed his fans and I thought how he touched so many in the world. I started crying. This is getting to be like June/July. I'm crying more now.
 
Have you seen the MJJC Forum Tribute video using this song? Look for the thread and I'll guarantee you that that will get you going again. It's just a beautiful video!

I feel the same way.
Ever since the trial I have been concerned about Michael's health condition. I think everyone of us could see that he was weak, thin etc. But I was just hoping and praying that someone else (a family member) would help him out. I never considered myself to be the one, who could have helped him. I've always thought of me as "just" a fan. Now I know that I was wrong. My emotional pain caused by Michael's death tells me that I truly love(d) him. I wish I knew what I know now before. I feel so gutted.
We all should have tried to help him. Who can say - which one of us Michael would have put trust in. He was so lonely. He was crying out for love.
 
Ohhh is one of the songs I fear to play cause I know I will cry. I do play it but in prived and not as offten as I want. It really hurts me and the speach part just killes me. I love Michael so much and miss him so much!! :(
 
Sometimes I'm fine and I can listen to it without crying, but other times I fall in such sadness and... :cry:
 
I never listen to this song. Even though it is one of my favourite ones. I remember when in July I went to see the concert from Bucharest in the cinema, and with Will you be there, I totally broke down. I don't even try, even thinking of it makes me cry :no:
 
Yeh, the very end of that song, the sadness in Michael's voice, gets me everytime.

I just wish he was still here, so we could all tell him that we will always be there for him :cry:
 
To me this song always gave peace and still does.

Maybe because I always felt like what the angel was always expressing on stage... that I am there and will be there always.

And honestly it was my biggest... an incredible fear when I heard about the diagnose of my late boyfriend... to lose him, to be alone again.

But it's honestly not that. I do start to understand why ppl say love is the only eternal in this life. When you're this much in love with someone, or when you truely love this deep then there's always something left even then when the person is not physically with you or even when the person passed away.
I feel for everyone I love like this song describes.
And just going through the hardest time of my life I experience it that many ppl are exactly there for me this way, more than I would have thought before... that's such a beautiful feeling also.
So when I hear this song it gives me peace... it makes me aware of the beautiful wonderful ppl in my life and it makes me feel so strong in a way... it always did somehow.

I am sorry it brings up so many tears in you guys. *hugs* to all of you. Hang in there!

But to me it's like knowing in my heart, yes Michael I am here and I always will. Don't worry, don't be scare because I will be there.

Wow...that was beautifully said... That song has always been one of my favourite songs.. Very strong, powerful, and full of love. So it's hard to listen to it..so it's been a while since I've been able to..(lately I have been more depressed..so therefore harder).
But reading your post...that made me want to listen to it again.. :)

"Love is the only eternal in this life" - that moved me, beautiful said..

Mechi, thanks. What you wrote is beautiful. Surely the love of so many people for Michael -- the millions of fans -- is like a force or power for goodness. Michael DID make a change in the world. He inspired love. With that said, I'll tell you I'm utterly and completely unable to listen to that song, or watch videos where he performs it. Maybe someday I can. . but not yet.

Take care, everyone.
 
I listened to it a lot during the first weeks after his passing... but then I stopped, because I couldn't take it anymore. I don't know if I'll ever be able to listen to it again, without the feeling that all this beauty will be forever full of sadness. Oh well... and at the other hand, all this sadness is full of beauty. That's the magic of art... but it's still a long way to go until I'll be able to feel it this way.

Soon, Victoria...you CAN, and you WILL.

I tried today, the intro started..but I had to skip to the next Michael song, I couldn't..it's just too painful.

No hurry, do not try to force yourself. Just have faith.
The time that you want to listen to it again will come.
Just have faith in the love which is connecting Michael and you, it will all come back.
