Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror

MICHAEL JACKSON LYRICS
"Man In The Mirror"

I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .

As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That's Why I Want You To
Know

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change)
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah)

I've Been A Victim Of A Selfish
Kind Of Love
It's Time That I Realize
That There Are Some With No
Home, Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me,
Pretending That They're Not
Alone?

A Widow Deeply Scarred,
Somebody's Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
(Washed-Out Dream)
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya' See
Cause They Got No Place
To Be
That's Why I'm Starting With
Me
(Starting With Me!)

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
(Ooh!)
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change)

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm Asking Him To Change His
Ways
(Change His Ways-Ooh!)
And No Message Could've
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make That . . .
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make That . . .)
Change!

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror,
(Man In The Mirror-Oh
Yeah!)
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
(Better Change!)
No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make The Change)
(You Gotta Get It Right, While
You Got The Time)
('Cause When You Close Your
Heart)
You Can't Close Your . . .Your
Mind!
(Then You Close Your . . .
Mind!)

Le 25 juin 2009, le chanteur américain Michael Jackson meurt d’une intoxication aiguë au propofol après avoir subi un arrêt cardiaque dans son manoir de Holmby Hills à Los Angeles en Californie.

Son médecin personnel, Conrad Murray, dit avoir retrouvé Michael Jackson dans sa chambre, ne respirant plus mais avec un faible pouls, et lui avoir administré la RCP sur son lit, en vain. Après un appel au 911 à 12h20 (heure locale), Michael Jackson fut pris en charge par des ambulanciers dans sa demeure, et fut déclaré mort un peu plus tard au Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

Le 28 août 2009, le coroner du comté de Los Angeles qualifie le décès de Michael Jackson comme un homicide1.

Avant sa mort, d’après certaines informations, Michael Jackson se serait fait administrer du propofol en même temps que deux anxiolytiques benzodiazépines : lorazépam et midazolam2,3.

Les officiels responsables du maintien de l’ordre enquêtèrent sur le médecin personnel de Michael Jackson. Le 8 février 2010, Conrad Murray plaida non coupable aux charges d’homicide involontaire, et fut libéré après avoir déposé une caution de 75 000 $USD4. Son procès débuta le 8 septembre 20115.

La mort de Michael Jackson déclencha de grandes manifestations de chagrin à travers le monde, créant une montée sans précédent du trafic Internet, participant à une augmentation drastique de la vente de ses anciens disques ainsi que de ceux des Jackson 56.

Michael Jackson avait l’intention d’entreprendre une série de concerts intitulée This Is It a plus d’un million de personnes à l’Aréna O2 de Londres du 13 juillet 2009 au 6 mars 20107.

Son service funéraire public s’est tenu le 7 juillet 2009 au Staples Center de Los Angeles, où il avait répété pour ses concerts de Londres la veille de son décès. Ses funérailles furent diffusées en mondiovision, attirant une audience globale pouvant se chiffrer jusqu’à un milliard de personnes8.

Au mois de mars 2010, Sony Music Entertainment signe un contrat de 250 millions de dollars américains avec la succession de Michael Jackson afin de conserver les droits de distribution sur ses albums jusqu’en 2017, et de lancer sept albums posthumes dans les décennies suivants sa mort. Son décès se classe au numéro 1 de la liste des 100 moments les plus choquants de la musique de VH1.
