Gone Too Soon - May You Rest in Peace, Michael Jackson

It was a very bad morning when I looked up the news at the internet. I thought it was only a joked or something else. But as I read the breaking news, my tears began flowing down unknowlingly. It was the news of Michael Jackson's death of cardiac arrest that shocked me this me morning. Though people around the world may hate or love him, Michael Jackson in a way has been part of our lives. He is considered one of the greatest pop artist of all time, together with Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Madonna. His unforgettable hit songs like Thriller, Bad, Billie Jean, Black or White, Smooth Criminal, Beat It, Dirty Diana, Man in the Mirror, etc. will never be forgotten, and his music will live on forever. Although Michael Jackson songs are on pop/rock genre, the songs that struck me most are those slow music that I admired most. These songs are Heal the World, Will You Be There, You Are Not Alone, I Just Can't Stop Loving You. These songs I believe are so much pesonal for Michael Jackson, sentimentally portraying his feelings and thoughts about his life. The legacy of Michael Jackson's music as well as his personal life will be remembered in our history. He is one of the most talented entertainers of the 20th century. I'm sad that we had lost one soul that somehow in my life had influence me through his music. But I'm very happy that Michael Jackson no matter how controversial and eccentric his life is, he is already with our Creator. I'm dissapointed because my dream of he and Madonna will collaborate for a song will not be a reality. I'm really waiting for that duet for a long time. And I believe it will be a great song that will rock the music world (two music Icons singing together) if ever that materializes.

With Michael Jackson's demised, among his songs I will never forget is "Gone Too Soon", a song actually dedicated to Ryan White, a young victim of AIDS whom Michael befriended. Upon hearing the song, tears will always come from my eyes. It is very solemn and meaningful. The song's message and meaning is very clear. It makes me believe that we should respect the length of time we have to make for the rest of our lives. Allow me to publish the lyrics of the song. It is only fitting to dedicate this song to a legend and an icon, that is Michael Jackson.

May you rest in peace, Michael!
