Por sus canciones los conocemos: Michael Jackson

Llegamos a la undécima entrega de nuestra colección que recuerda canciones y artistas unidos a nosotros y entre sí para siempre.

Y, es así, porque cada uno de nosotros marca su imaginario musical a través de canciones por su significado, por su ritmo, por el momento en que las escuchó por primera vez, por una situación sentimental o por cualquier motivo; puede incluso que inconfesable.

Para nuestro paseo semanal miramos y escuchamos, en esta ocasión, canciones de Michael Jackson.

3, ni una más ni una menos

La primera, una suave canción de 1972 que daba nombre también al segundo álbum de Michael: Ben, cantada con 13 años de edad por tan sólo un niño hablaba de amistad y, como dato importante, llegaba sólo 7 meses tras su primer álbum "Got To Be There" prometiendo, como veríamos, muchos éxitos más. La segunda canción "Billie Jean", una década después de la anterior, y con un videoclip que marcó época y estilo también porque estaba incluida en su sexto álbum de estudio, "Thriller". Y, como cierre, de este paseo musical, tercera canción: "This Is It", 2009, que compuso junto a Paul Anka y que incorpora sus últimos días de vida con imágenes y ensayos de su espectáculo musical que recorría el mundo y que, por todo, emociona en el videoclip oficial.

Quizá alguna de estas canciones no sea la preferida, la deseada o quizá querríamos que estuviera aquí, también, OTRA; aquella indispensable. Seguro que asiste la razón o el conocimiento pero esta selección que traemos estará, posiblemente, en el recuerdo imborrable de muchos. Ojalá.

Ben

Billie Jean

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

I said don't mind, but what do you mean, I am the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round

She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do

And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

And mother always told me be careful of who you love

And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and forty nights

The law was on her side

But who can stand when she's in demand

Her schemes and plans

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice

(Don't think twice, don't think twice)

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me

Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do

And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

She came and stood right by me

Just the smell of sweet perfume

This happened much too soon

She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one,

(You know what you did, (she says he is my son)breaking my heart babe)

She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover (don't Billie Jean)

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover

"This is it"

One, two, three, four

This is it, here I stand

I'm the light of the world

I'll feel grand

Got this love, I can feel

And I know, yes for sure

It is real

And it feels as though I've seen your face one thousand times

And you said you really know me too yourself

And I know that you have got addicted with you eyes

But you say you're gonna leave it for yourself

Oh

I never heard a single word about you

Falling in love wasn't my plan

I never thought that I would be your lover

Come on baby just understand

This is it

I can say

I'm the light of your world

Run away

We can feel

This is real

Every time I'm in love that I feel

And I feel as though I've known you since a thousand years

And you tell me that you've seen my face before

And you said to me that you don't want me hanging around

Many times wanna do it here before

Oh yeah

I never heard a single word about you

Falling in love wasn't my plan

I never thought that I would be your lover

Come on baby just understand

This is it

I can feel

I'm to light up the world

This is real

Feel my song

We can say

And I tell you can feel that way

And I feels as though I've known you for a thousand years

And you said you saw my face yourself

And you said want to go with you on a while

And I know that it's really for myself

Oh yeah

I never heard a single word about you

Falling in love wasn't my plan

I never thought that I would be your lover

Come on please dear understand

I never heard a single word about you

Falling in love wasn't my plan

I never thought that I would be your lover

Come on dear please understand

Oh yeah

I never heard a single word about you

Falling in love wasn't my plan
