The Truth Behind "Stranger in Moscow" by Michael Jackson

[@kyleplatz3751]

Easily the best MJ song, idc what anyone says. Masterpiece of a pop song.

[@SleepExports]

The most underrated for sure

[@ninkaraven4237]

Yes, hard to compare completely different songs, different moods and aestetics, but it is touching in a particular way, specially if you really know sadness, loneliness and feeling like an alien here.

[@technicolorProducer]

For someone with such a large and unique body of work, I have to agree. It was so mature and sophisticated.

[@BluEx22329]

He wrote it

[@goldenstreets29]

Loved it ever since I first heard it❤

[@ayaanbretmitchell9830]

First song I saw on TV after his death. And let's be frank here, he was on TV/radio and news for weeks and weeks announcing his death. I mean the entire world was mourning. No other celeb had that kind of continued tributes. The song brings a tear as MJ was associated with so many fans childhoods it's unreal. Over all generations of people. 😪

[@ninkaraven4237]

But the same world had been killing him for years as a demanded and useful global hero, not perfect, clear enough and also daring to get older 😔.

[@chrishawkins6535]

12 people killed themselves after his death. They believe there's more.

[@MissDavitashvili]

It was on vh1 till 2018-19

[@richardkovacs2006]

[@Lovella5]

The saddest and yet one of the most beautiful song he's ever done... Thank you so much for sharing this. ❤

[@Jumahnji]

Tbh after hearing his death and it being confirmed, I turned on the radio and they went into rock with you, and had to cut it.

[@Danny-sd5vm]

Mike was dealing with so much in his life at all times. Michael was beyond famous, he was in this Godlike pantheon. He could not go anywhere or do anything alone. The man would be swamped by thousands of fans once word got around. Being surrounded by thousands of people that would do anything for you but still feeling alone and depressed is a feeling 99.9% of us will never understand.

[@tebohoedward1943]

So so so true 💯💯💯

[@izayahcarter1406]

This pleases the Mj fan in me and the Sonic fan in me.

[@globalrei]

Hauntingly beautiful.

[@jackson-ch]

One of the best MJ-Songs, and maybe his most personal one. LOVE it. Great Video!

[@dangeroussupremacy]

this has gotta be my favorite michael song. it’s sooooooo good.

[@SinistaDaBeast]

Wow. Wow. Wow. The man is untouchable. Incomparable. One of one. Damn Michael.....we miss U SOOOOOOOO MUCH.💔💔💔🥺🥺🥺

[@christiankirby9650]

I always find it interesting when I find out the origins of MJ’s songs. To be fair, I guessed the songs was made due to a literal situation he was in but it’s cool to know I was correct

[@abbiasante]

Do more of these videos please

[@im_that_guy]

Damn I wanna hear that recording of him beatboxing Stranger In Moscow.

[@jayatmosphere]

It’s at the beginning of the song.

[@Prayukth]

Even god missed him...called him back too early...

[@squidmaster964]

Wow great video! I agree with the other comments I would love to see more like this!

[@DanielMiller-z3j]

When I hear this it really tells me about life on how nobody really cares about U..... It's sad 😢😭😭 very hurtful

[@bonniehebebrand3450]

Love this song... I can relate and alot of others probably can too.. I felt his loneliness and pain... Cold inside.. He looked sad in his eyes.. He makes us feel it and he will be missed.

[@StirLynch]

This video is perfect, I'd love more videos like this one for different songs

[@rosequartz7841]

This makes me cry from my SOUL....THEY DIDNT SUCEED IN DESTROYING HIM AND NEVER WILL!❤XXXX LOVE YOU MJ 2023 xxx

[@diddybopper2052]

I couldn’t imagine anything better for Michael than for him to feel like a stranger somewhere.

[@Dawnsxnova]

Not in a good way , in a lonely way 😢

[@elanone1]

that was awesome thank you so much!

[@MarianaMartins-123]

Meu querido Michael 👄👄👄 adoro-te

[@klysmaniac]

I remember locking myself in my room after a family member outing me at the dinner table. I wasn't aware of the exact meaning of the song back then...the punch line for me in the present is: happy days will drown the pain...no need to talk about my punchline back then. masterpiece

[@ninkaraven4237]

Feel you.

[@danielkannan6246]

Firstly, Brad Buxer definitely deserves credit.... Secondly, if ever there was a song you want to hold & hug, Stranger in Moscow is it...😍

[@YasinGhani-h8y]

I wish i could back in time

[@mrs6968]

This was grand thank you very much

[@lucidmind9676]

Music or should I say mainstream music is both a gift and a curse for a lot of these artists. It’s really sad because most of us consumers can’t see the story/source of these songs. While Stranger In Moscow is a great song and was/is recognized as such, people didn’t realize it was a cry for help. I myself have dealt with depression and instances of loneliness but man Michael really had it rough; being one of the most famous people on earth, not being able to do basic human activities like going to the grocery store and then on top of that, to go thru not just one but two trials that the media worldwide crucified him for…. Michael was a strong person fr because I couldn’t imagine how dealing with that felt and most people who go thru situations like that usually off themselves sadly but he stayed strong but unfortunately his addiction did worsen from that situation.

[@vellbariaofficial]

This song is a personification of depression he had to deal with. He used KGB as a personification of those people who accused him of SA.

[@thebrazilshow]

Brad Buxer should've gotten co-writer's credit, period. Quincy Jones alluded that Michael was stingy about giving collaborators credit sometimes.

[@umolhar9993]

Amo essa música, sim fala de solidão e medo. Estava enfrentando acusações ! Imagina lidar com turnê e desacreditar em " falsas" pessoas. Mike foi um dos artistas mais perseguidos da história. Não acredito em nenhuma daquelas mentiras.

[@ChapC_Creates]

This one, togerher with Blood On The Dancefloor are my favourite MJ songs of all time.

[@GillianRice]

LOVED THIS!! Do more❤

[@arcobyte99]

Wow. Neat story! Love this!

[@letmetellyoumyexperiencesi9775]

He couldn’t trust adults especially in Hollywood, so he felt more comfortable with children around and “Not” for the horrible reasons the media and money hungry wolves were portraying it to be at all. 😢

[@donnagroven3345]

Turns out the children ( who are adults today) are still the most evil to him....I can't imagine his heart break and shatter spirit. Kids made fun of me all the time for being a MJ fan in school growing up thanks to media..... This world is a scary place. He will always be my patron Saint of humanitarianism and the definition of how to live Christ like " like a child" ✌️❤️🙏✌️❤️🙏

[@Mike-qh7sh]

Amazing

[@hibernationd3313]

One of my favorite songs

[@DanielMiller-z3j]

I love it.... It's how I feel 2

[@MFJono]

How does it feel when you learn Mike beat boxed on samplers and drum machines? Beautiful video!

[@richardkovacs2006]

I have an issue with Brad's story. Every time he talks about his role in Stranger, his role gets bigger and bigger. The 1st time he talked about it in an interview not much after MJs dsath it was just 2 chords and from then on MJ directed him. Now it's like he wrote the whole song to the point Brad Sundberg has already said it's Buxer's song. A strange issue with MJs collabs...(Like Philinganes claiming he got no credit for the bridge in Don't stop -he did, just not co-writer, because it wasn't the whole bidge he added..ut was arrangement) Since MJs death many found out about themselves how it was them, who made MJs music as it is...

[@akongas]

I wish SEGA, Brad, and the Jackson family can FINALLY sort out the Sonic 3 soundtrack legal issues… 😢

[@fullmoon7769]

Never heard that from Michael. From which interview is the fragment where Michael talks about the song at the beginning? Please write, it’s important for me to know, I just know all his interviews and can’t understand where this fragment of the conversation comes from.

[@experiment0003]

Brad Buxer should have gotten production credit for this song. He came up with the chord progression, did most of the arrangements, and put together the most iconic part of the song, the beatbox. He is uncredited. Sad. Even Toto guys got credited.

[@jamesbarbosavideo]

he himself admits its his own fault. He had the chance and didnt really consider it till it was too late. He holds no ill towards MJ in this regard.

[@ghostkid252]

Eh, it sucks legally but all MJ fans know how much Brad meant to MJ and how key he was to so many of our favorite songs. He's immortalized in our hearts, even if his name isn't below a song's title.

[@thebrazilshow]

More than that he should have writer's credit and collecting royalties to this day!

[@katrinaholmes395]

❤ I never heard this song until now will never know Michael Jackson did Sonic the hedgehog either love Katrina

[@tanz6478]

This song got me through a bitter sweet time when I travelled to New Zealand from England and I had lost both my parents in a light aircraft accident and I could so resonate with this beautiful song, I played it every day. Michael came to New Zealand and I waited all day to be at the front of stage a memory I will always have in my heart. I miss him, such talent. X 😢

[@ConsolingYourMind]

So genius!!

It looks like he was a people person but when I just listened to changer in Moscow I knew what it meant loneliness and new to the world bit change is a part of life theb you grow I know cause I been though some.

La distancia no significa nada cuando tú significas todo para mi. Es asombroso lo lejos que estás y lo cerca que te siento y sueño todas las noches que estamos juntos amándonos. Tengo tanto enojo, arrechera, disgusto, sentimientos, tristeza, abandono me siento que no te importo como si fuera un trapo viejo tirado en un basurero. Porque no haz tenido tiempo ni la Valentia de decirme en mi cara que está pasando por muy doloroso que sea porque? Yo no soy un mounstro soy normal inteligente racional madura fuerte para enfrentar cualquier verdad o engaño o que se yo. Yo no soy quien para juzgar a nadie debe haber razones poderosas que han impedido que te alejes de mi y las respeto pero vale por lo menos un mensaje es suficiente así sea doloroso y comprenderé. Yo jamás te dejare te amo y tú me amas yo lo sé lo siento en mi esencia en mi alma en mi corazón. Te amenazaron? Te han dicho algo malo de mi? Pues yo he sido abierta clara y transparente contigo amor no tengo nada que ocultar. Tan solo te digo que tú tienes que tomar tus propias decisiones así sean contrarias a amigos y familiares pues el amor es entre nosotros dos y nadie ni nada tiene derecho a meterse ni opinar un carajo nadie ... Las cosas más bellas y mejores del mundo, no pueden verse ni tocarse, pero se sienten en el corazón en mi corazón y en tu corazón en nuestro corazón porque forma un solo corazón. “Te espero siempre y quiero que miremos al cielo de noche: tú allá y yo aca pero deseo que lo veamos juntos Nuestro amor es verdadero la distancia más pequeña es demasiado grande, y la mayor distancia se puede superar y quiero que vengas a buscarme lo antes posible para estar juntos se nos está iendo el tiempo amor. La distancia impide que nos demos un beso o un abrazo, pero jamás un sentimiento que llevamos profundamente dentro de nosotros dos Tú y yo, tenemos un amor mucho más grande que todos aquellos kilómetros que nos separan. No importa cuántos kilómetros nos separen, nuestro amor es tan fuerte y tan grande que no se verá jamás afectada ni reducida por la distancia. Eres una persona sumamente especial y esencial en mi vida. Puede parecer irónico, pero, aunque estemos lejos, cada día te amo más.​ Ven por mi pronto para casarnos y vivir juntos felices hasta que Dios lo decida. No desaprovechar está oportunidad te espero fiel y leal a ti y a nuestro amor. No me rindo no me canso no me doy por vencida. No sé porque no te haz vuelto a comunicarte conmigo y lo haces para que te olvide y deje de amarte pues te equivocaste y mucho tu eres mío y yo soy tuya estamos destinados a estar juntos así sea segundos horas una semana un mes un año el tiempo que sea nos amamos y merecemos ser felices hasta que Dios quiera. Te amo nos amamos ven por mi podemos vivir con el señor JS no necesito nada y yo sé todo lo que va a pasar en el planeta y yo me quedaré contigo en la densidad o plano que sea jamás te dejare te lo prometi y así es y será. Comunícate conmigo por la via que sea no seas tan cruel conmigo nos amamos porqué sufrir? Porque distanciarnos porque? Yo en mi perfil está mis redes sociales y mi mail. Yo cree nueva cuenta de FB sin usar números de teléfono. Que pasa a qué le tienes miedo? Que te preocupa? Ya no me amas? Estás con otra? No lo creo yo confío en ti y en nuestro amor. Díme lo que pasa y yo comprenderé así sea doloroso se sincero conmigo yo soy comprensiva. Entiende no te voy a dejar nunca luchemos por nuestro amor por nuestros sueños juntos ven por mi pronto para casarnos y vivir juntos y felices el tiempo que Dios quiera. Odio cada centímetro que me separa de ti, aunque sé que nosotros podemos con todo y debes saber que cuando vuelvas, yo aquí estaré esperándote, pero al final valdrá la pena. Quizá no pueda besarte, pero lo que la distancia no me puede arrebatar es que piense en ti a todas horas. Esperaré lo que haga falta, pero me haces falta aquí a mi lado porque eres mi mitad. La vida sin ti no es vida, pero te prometo que te voy a esperar todo lo que sea necesario. Las ganas que tengo de verte no desaparecer… Es más, cada día se hacen más fuertes. Necesito tus mensajes nuestras conversaciones son el alimento de un corazón que te extraña demasiado. Cada mañana me despierto pensando en el día en que volvamos a vernos y no nos volvamos a separar nunca más. Ojalá estuvieras aquí conmigo, o yo allá, contigo... Todas las noches anhelo un momento así contigo te quiero y amo como nunca necesito quiero y amo a mi hombre detrás del teclado que conocí en el año 2014 ya. Yo sé todo lo que va a pasar en el planeta: Gesara Nesara, EBS, La Divulgación de todo, la caída del Cabal, la Federación galáctica Ascención a 5D y no me importa yo me quedó contigo en la densidad o plano que sea hasta que muramos. Te amo nos amamos aprovechemos el poco tiempo que nos quede para amarnos y ser felices eso es lo único que deseo y te pido así que ven por mi pronto por favor amor mío Te ama tu Jan

[@mjjvault]

it's just for couple days

[@atlantidaunderground]

what was he going through when he wrote the song? That made him so depressed..

[@paradoxical_taco]

Jordon Chandler’s father accused Michael of molesting him. (Jordon was just a child with absolutely shitty parents, especially his father, and so was a victim, but not of Michael, but he greedy, dirtbag of a father). Jordon’s dad was “the dentist to the stars” & he is alleged to have brought Jordy to his dental office and put him under laughing gas, which can make you highly susceptible to suggestions, to get his son to say Michael molested him. I suggest everyone look up more detail about this. Also - get yourself a copy of Carrie Fisher’s book _Shockaholic_ - I recommend the audiobook, because she reads it and it adds to the stories she tells. Carrie was at one point a “patient” of Dr. Chandler, DDS. And at a time when Carrie was not sober (remember - addiction is a disease, and most if not all people relapse at least once, it’s even harder to avoid a relapse when you have other medical issues like bipolar disorder), he was her “supplier” and was clearly trying to turn Carrie into a future witness for him, as he was planning his revenge against Michael for not agreeing to invest in his screenplay. Though I’m not sure even as you hear her tell the story that she fully understood what the doc was doing. But from the beginning, even when she was still ok with getting meds from him, Dr. Chandler creeped her out. As time went own, it got worse and eventually, once he told her he was going after Michael, as she wrote, no matter how much she “needed” drugs, no drugs were worth associating with this guy. He may have set in motion a series of events that led to Michael’s death decades later, but he probably saved Carrie (though not how, as a doctor, he should have). Carrie also talks about her friend Michael, what a great dad he was, and how she spent his last Christmas Eve on Earth at his house with his children. You hear the sadness at his death in her voice, and I know at least one person who was never sure if the accusations against MJ were true or not, until she read _Shockaholic_ .
