Somebody's Watching Me

Iată versurile care, spunea Michael Jackson, sunt 100% despre el. Cel puţin, la vremea aceea - dar şi câţiva ani mai târziu (să zicem 1983, că avem "docomentul"). Titlul are link la You Tube:

Bless His Soul - album "Destiny"(1978)

I try to do what's right for me
But no one sees the way I see
And then I try to please them so
But how far can this pleasing go
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you, I'd change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times
Sometimes I cry 'cause I'm confused
Is this a fact of being used
There is no life for me at all
'Cause I give myself at beck and call

Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you, I'd change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times
The life your leading is so dangerous
It's so dangerous, dangerous all
The life your leading is so dangerous
Doggone dangerous, dangerous, dangerous
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
People will cry
If rain or sun
Try to please all
And you've pleased none

Titlul postării ("Somebody's Watching Me" - interpret este Rockwell) e al unei piese unde M.J. doar a colaborat... Dar care piesă, deşi e veche şi cântată de un nene care doar piesa asta a reuşit s-o lanseze, sună foarte bine (Michael Jackson e doar la refren, iar Jermaine Jackson - backing vocals). Dacă nu citeam cât e de veche (1984!), aş fi zis că e din zilele noastre - cu patina dată de sintetizator cu tot -, deşi în zilele noastre nu prea se mai face muzică... Ca să nu mai spun de subiect: ce potrivit era atunci, dar ce potrivit e azi!

I don't know anymore
Are the neighbors watching me
(Who's watching)
Well, is the mailman watching me
(Tell me, who's watching)
And I don't feel safe anymore
Oh, what a messI wonder who's watching me now

Să mai zică cineva că istoria nu se repetă, sau că oamenii învaţă ceva din istorie. Bla-bla. Aşadar, asta e adresa pentru amănunte: en.wikipedia.org
