I first heard this song when i was around 6 (1999) when my mum bought me the album 'HIStory: past presence and future Book 1', at the time i really liked the song because of the heavy pop rock theme of it. Of course when i got older i loved the song for a different reason, that being the meaning behind the song (his message to the media about their sick and twister manner they create news) and the lyrics as well as the intensity and passion of his voice.
So the song was released in 1995 as i said from his album 'HIStory: past presence and future Book 1', critics said that the song had similar lyrics to previous songs aimed at the media (this was actually his SEVENTH song aimed at the negative rumors and stories that the media created about him and his family).
The reason it is todays song is that i was watching skins and shockingly enough they played 'man in the mirror by Michael jackson and i decided to listen to some more Michael when i was walking my dog (not particularly interesting lol)
When i listen to this song this album or for that matter any of his albums it really makes me think about when i was a young kid in germany his music was definetly like the sound track of my childhood and i believe that is true for millions of people, and also on a not so high note it does make me feel kinda upset thinking this is it (yeah i no) this is what we have left there will never be another live performance by him his voice will never be heard from his mouth again its just almost depressing to think back to june last year and think what we are missing what he is missing and that such an amazing and influential person was taken from us like that.
