It's not about pedophilia guys. When a woman finds a man that can be ALL she needs because she did not have a true Father figure in her life, this man takes that place in her life. Unfortunately, there are a LOT of people searching for that unconditional love they never had. It's not meant to be "weird", it's meant to be reassuring for her that she can be ALL she can be because he will be everything she needs - emotionally. 💗

It's still creepy. It makes me think of my niece, who was s*xually abused by her stepfather from the ages of 12-14 and then ended up getting pregnant at 17 by a guy 4 years older than her who she described as being like a father figure to her. Although I found the lyrics to this creepy long before that.

One of the calling cards of a great songwriter, a talent George Michael possessed in spades, is having the ability to pen lyrics that are nuanced. The song “Father Figure” is a declaration of unconditional love and a promise that I’ll be all you need if you’ll just open your heart to me. The title and lyric ‘father figure’ isn’t meant to be taken literally, it’s a metaphor. “Father Figure” is an absolute classic!

I really feel that the current generation is not exposed to enough poetry in lyrics. Musicians of the past seemed to possess different writing chops. it just was a different era for song writing. Most of those lyrics are not to be taken literally. There is a meaning behind all of it. George wrote about an all consuming love . Nothing in appropriate. The li ne, "put your tiny hand in mine" is just a woman's delicate smaller hand in a man's. George was a exceptional songwriter. He won several song writing awards and was honored by being the most played artist for 20 years straight on British radio.There's a reason this man has sold over a hundred and twenty million records.

Amber for Female Friday check out Aretha Franklin’s duet with George Michael “I Knew You Were Waiting”. For J looking for an uptempo track, George’s massive hits “Freedom 90”, “Fastlove” or his first big hit as a solo artist “Faith”. He covered Elton John’s track “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me” and Elton was in the live concert video version of the song duetting with George while playing piano. My goodness, you guys are at the beginning of diving into George’s catalog! His collab with Queen on “Somebody to Love” is amazing and “Monkey” is pure 80s dance/pop at its best. I was fortunate to see him in concert twice at Madison Square Garden and the shows were a blend of pop, R&B, soul and dance. Such energy and talent! The crowds were wild for him and after dancing my tush off all night, I was thoroughly spent by the end of those shows!!😅❤😊

This song is about a lover that is constantly seeking their fathers approval. Someone that isn’t being true to themselves. It’s about a love that can’t be open because their lovers father sees their love as a crime. He’s telling his lover that if they crave a father figure, a preacher, or a teacher that he can be all those things. He’s telling his lover that they don’t need the validation of their father for them to love. It’s all there in the lyrics. This was personal for GM.

You don’t do enough George Michael. His last album - Patience - was priceless. Listen to Precious Box - probably my favourite song of his. It’s a long track but is an extremely poignant and haunting story of isolation, loneliness and shallow and rampant excess. This is one of George’s most up tempo and danceable tracks but that belies the song’s darkness and melancholy. It’s very frothy but deep. It’s very 2000s, with its house and electronic vibe. John and Elvis are Dead is a wonderful tribute track, along with Amazing.

Father Figure is my favorite George Michael song. I love the sinewy, sensual aspect of the music and little keyboard phrase in the minor key. The song has an aura of mystery about it. The title is not to be taken literally. Since I Am not a parent I never considered that point of view. The singer is a wise and gentle soul who is in love with someone who has suffered and been betrayed, who is therefore fragile. Reluctant. He is offering safety, faithfulness and stability, which are qualities one might find in a father figure. Someone who will create something warm and sacred. He conveys this with the light and breathy delivery of the lyrics in the verses. He's attempting to encourage rather than deduce. It's quite beautiful. My other favorites from that era were Faith and the spectacular Freedom 90 whose video was a sensation. Also there's I Knew You Were Waiting, a duet with Aretha Franklin.

I saw WHAM twice and George as a solo artist once. When he came to Chicago, they mentioned it on all the TV stations that weekend. He was just PHENOMENAL!! I'm grateful I got to see him (them) in concert. My Mom loved him too!!

What a wonderful voice and a great man! He definitely was a loss to the world and he could write and sing amazingly.

One More Try (official video is a MUST), Praying For Time, Edge of Heaven, and his cover of Somebody to Love at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert at Wembly. Please, thank you, and big hugs from Canada. ALL George songs that are some of his very BEST. ETA - Amber - girl - watching George dance around in his pink short shorts in the video for Wake Me Up Before You Go Go - is a MUST George Michael experience. And it's just a fun, danceable, awesome novelty song.

His album "Faith" was HUGE in 1987. Do a deep dive in his work, you won't be disappointed.

One of our greatest song writers EVER, he's so sorely missed and passed far too early, however he left us with this beautiful music forever. RIP George and thankyou for the music!

If this one didn't resonate so much with you, then you definitely should react to George Michael's duet with Elton John - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me. It is one of the best duets ever (and is a live recording!).

Always loved this song. His acoustic version on the MTv Unplugged special is soooo good, along with his solo version of Everything She Wants. ❤
