第一次看到Michael Jackson的MTV是在高中的校电视台，记不清哪一个了。其后大学期间，陆陆续续了解更多。90年代中，商场里卖音响的部门经常用Dangeous, Black and White, Thriller来作为演示音乐。当时绝对震撼。必须承认，似乎男生对他更偏爱一些，当然当时正在谈恋爱的男生除外—Michael Learns to Rock更适合恋爱中的人。

个人觉得Michael Jackson的歌有两个方面特别出众：一是强烈的节奏感；崔健说节奏是音乐的生命。我觉得节奏就是音乐最本质的那股“劲”。二是配器混音，有高人制作当然这个不会差。当然，看MTV时你会自然注意到他的舞蹈、太空漫步，也是极牛的。King of Pop Music 不是浪得虚名。

最近拿出History专辑听，还是非常的好。心知肚明，怀旧情绪很大程度上影响了对他的音乐的解读。可是，这不正是好的音乐的魅力所在吗？

下面是完整的 History 的音频。网上的MTV视频都没有歌曲开头的作为背景的历史资料片段，其实也是很有意思的。

Every day create your history
Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty

每一天你创造你的历史，每条你选择的道路都是你留下的遗迹。。。

"HISTORY" Michael Jackson

He got kicked in the back
He say that he needed that
He hot willed in the face
Keep daring to motivate
He say one day you will see
His place in world history
He dares to be recognized
The fires deep in his eyes

How many victims must there be
Slaughtered in vain across the land
And how many struggles must there be
Before we choose to live the prophet's plan
Everybody sing...

Every day create your history
Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty

Don't let no one get you down
Keep movin' on higher ground
Keep flying until
You are the king of the hill
No force of nature can break
Your will to self motivate
She say this face that you see
Is destined for history

How many people have to cry
The song of pain and grief across the land
And how many children have to die
Before we stand to lend a healing hand
Everybody sing...

Every day create your history
Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Every day create your history
Every page you turn you're writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry
Every child should sing together in harmony
All nations sing

Let's harmonize all around the world
How many victims must there be
Slaughtered in vain across the land
And how many children must we see
Before we learn to live as brothers
And leave one family oh...

Every day create your history
Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Every day create your history
Every page you turn you're writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry
Every child should sing together in harmony

A soldier dies
A mother cries
The promised child shines in a baby's eyes
All nations sing
Let's harmonize all around the world
