Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

May Him Rest in Peace in Heaven



This is one of my all-time favorite songs of the world. It touched me so profoundly the first time I heard it and it still brings tears to my eyes as of today.

In most people's life, certain music impacts us in special ways and would always connect us back to those old lost memories. For me, it's Michael Jackson's music. Before I moved to London, before I could speak English, Jackson's music was THE connection to the West for me. Later, it saddened me to learn how his childhood was sacrificed to achieve such great success in music to entertain us. It saddened me even more to watch his career decline and reputation shattered due to his bizarre behaviors which can probably all be attributed to his childhood (or lack of.)

I don't condone the weird things that he had done, but I do want to show the compassion for a lost soul who couldn't find his own happiness in this life, despite such great success, and wealth and his ability to touch people's heart musically.

Hope Michael Jackson can finally find the peace and happiness that had eluded him on this earth.
