Listen to Viva La Vida (song) with Michael Jackson in mind. It could have been written for him, really moving. Long Live The King.

I don't really see it but then again I am not much of an MJ fan. Welcome to the board.

The king will live as long as his spirit is in our souls.

OMG funny you bring this up because ever since MJ died when I listen to Viva... I totally attribute it to him. "I used to rule the world, seas would rise when I gave the word..."

i wasn't a big mj fan...so i can't see-well, hear :rolleyes:-it :\

I was never a big MJ fan, but his music is still good. I always liked Janet though!!!

I totally agree with you..... whether MJ fan or not ...the reality of his situaion and how he lived can be applied......

 

Ohhh who would ever wanna be king.......

True.VLV could really be applied to him...The last years of his live were pretty tragic with all the weirdness. money issues and accusations and lawyers. But he still is musical genius whether you like him or not

 

"I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

[...]

People couldn't believe what I'd become.

Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh who would ever want to be king?"

I have never really been a MJ fan....so I haven't really thought about it...and no I do not see the relation.... Sorry! :)

EXACTLY, that's exactly what I mean. MJ could have done a great version of VLV at his last concerts. So sad and tragic, but at the end a celebration.

Wow, now that I think about it, it kind of could be written for him :thinking: Not that it WAS written for him or anything :dozey:

Weird because after MJ's death, when I heard viva I would think of him

Awww that's the lyrics of the banners Mounira made for our show in Arras !!

"Now the old king is dead, long live the kings", referring to MJ :nice:
