Michael Jackson – With a Child’s Heart

Of course, this wasn’t the post I was planning to write today. I was as shocked when I heard the sad news as everyone else. So, how do I properly pay my respects to one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived? In deciding what song I thought would be appropriate, I went through all my unsung favorites, from Invincible’s “Break of Dawn” to Bad’s “Liberian Girl” to Off the Wall’s “Get on the Floor” … but then I came upon this track from 1973’s Music & Me. If you were here to help us deal with our lament, Michael, I think this is what you would say to us. This is how you went through your entire life: with a child’s heart. Your adolescent spirit caused you many personal problems, but it allowed us to enjoy a beautiful human being. For that, I thank you. And, as I wrote earlier today, I hope you are now finding the peace that eluded you so much in life.
