Michael Jackson - Childhood (Official Video) | REACTION

[@Dana082]

Michael has referred to this as the most autobiographical and honest song he's ever written. This song is featured on the "Free Willy 2" movie soundtrack, and is from the HIStory album. I'd like to quote parts from his beautiful 1993 Grammy award speech - " ... I wasn't aware that the world thought I was so weird and bizarre. But when you grow up as I did, in front of one hundred million people since the age of five, you're automatically different. My childhood was completely taken away from me. There was no Christmas, there were no birthdays, it was not a normal childhood, nor the normal pleasures of childhood - those were exchanged for hard work, struggle, and pain , and eventually material and professional success. But as an awful price, I cannot re-create that part of my life. However, today, when I create my music, I feel like an instrument of nature. I wonder what delight nature must feel when we open our hearts and express our God-given talents. The sound of approval rolls across the universe, and the whole world abounds in magic. Wonder fills our hearts, for what we have glimpsed, for an instant, the playfulness of life. And that's why I love children and learn so much from being around them. The magic, the wonder, the mystery, and the innocence of a child's heart, are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world. I really believe that..." 💖

One of his best mellow songs. And it's very autobiographical, he talks about the all the struggles he dealt with being a child star and how he never had a normal childhood because of it. I managed to surprise myself hitting those high notes, because I normally sing in the bass/baritone range. On another note, this song was used in the second movie of Free Willy.

That was simple, but yet, splendid. Thank you, Michael. Miss you much.

Hearing this after so many years and listening to it through the reaction of someone seeing it for the first time, it really hit home to me what an exceptionally brave thing this was for MJ to do in 1995. As you said, vulnerable lyrics. But amazing vocals, too.

This was from 1994. It was on the soundtrack to "Free Willy 2". He also included the song on his "HIStory" album on that album's second CD of new songs.

Jack I don't know if you knew this or not but the kid that was in the boat that reached his out to the other kid and pulled him inside of the boat was the star of Free Willy which the soundtrack was based from.
