Earth song is the third single track extracted from the album “History: Past, Present and Future – Book I”.
An artist in history, being brutally attacked and thoroughly abused by extortionists and tabloid media who gleefully predicted his demise, the most famous and well-known human being on the planet…who could have quite easily and quite simply released compilations of his work…instead feeling aching moral responsibility, turned himself into a song bird the most influential global spokesperson for environmentalism. Here was an artist who had broken every known imaginable record, won every imaginable award, was selling more than any artists history.
Earth Song was the first song by Michael Jackson who openly addressed the problem of the environment, climate change and animal welfare.
Harnessing the pain and tragedy into productive ends was always Michael’s modus operandi. MICHAEL BELIEVED IN THE HUMANITY, POWER AND LOVE OF THE PEOPLE…depending on that energy to make changes in the human struggle. This was not music for the small or narrow-minded…and, Michael was not one to deliver the expected, or be harnessed by media and critics. The spectacles that he created in performance of EARTH SONG, left little doubt he was the most powerful artist of the BE STILL MY HEART TONIGHT TWO modern era.
“The gesture of passion embodied in Michael’s performances of Earth Song-ICONIC, TRANSCEND-burns itself into the collective consciousness of the 20th and 21st Centuries.”
