So.... we're simply missing Michael today...
Whenever we think of Michael, the man, we immediately revert to his classic "Have You Seen My Childhood". The song is easily the most beautiful of his entire musical catalog - rivaling "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", "You Are Not Along", "Human Nature, and "Liberian Girl".
This is by far his most personal song with the biggest reflection of his perception of how the world viewed him outside of his musical genius. And then we ran across these drawings by Michael himself.... and it all came together.
The lyrics in the song are heartbreaking and straight-forward "people say I'm not okay, because I love such elementary things...". Michael was crying out for someone... anyone to understand his interior workings.
We have always been a huge fan of the MAN. The LEGEND. The GENIUS. Our thoughts of Michael prompted us to share this song and video with you. Enjoy the magic of Michael.
"Before you judge me, try hard to love me."
Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for the world that I come from
'Cause I've been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
'Cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me...
People say I'm not okay
'Cause I love such elementary things...
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood
I've never known...
Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates in adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne...
Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?
People say I'm strange that way
'Cause I love such elementary things,
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood I've never known...
Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
The dreams I would dare, watch me fly...
Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth I've had
Have you seen my Childhood...
