Jesus to Michael

The Artist




George Michael is a household name in the British Music Industry. For the past 2 decades he was domineering the radio waves from being a part of a duo Wham then as a solo artist. But his rise to fame was not a smooth one, as he met a lot of problems with record producing labels such as Sony. He struggled against them as he cannot take the pressure of being someone different in the face of his many fans. Eventually he came out of the closet in 1996, but was in an established relationship since 1991 with Anselmo Feleppa to whom he dedicates the song am featuring here "Jesus to a Child." He kept his homosexuality secret because of his ailing mother with the fear of the impact it would do her. Eventhough, he was haunted by the papparazzi everytime he will be en flagrante delicto being himself.

I've learned that he's staging a come back in the industry. Can't wait what bomb would he explode this time after the last bout he had with the authorities about a fat guy he had engaged sex with. Could he be cooking another song like "Outside" that he penned to mock the controversy he was with a policeman before.

The Song


Kindness in your eyes I guess you heard me cry
You smiled at me Like Jesus to a child I’m blessed I know
Heaven sent and heaven stole
You smiled at meLike Jesus to a child
And what have I learned
From all this pain
I thought I’d never feel the same
About anyone or anything again
But now I know

Chorus:
When you find love
When you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss
Will come to you on those cold, cold nights
When you’ve been loved
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed
Will comfort you when there’s no hope in sight
Sadness in my eyes
No one guessed, well no one tried
You smiled at me
Like Jesus to a child
Loveless and cold
With your last breathyou saved my soul
You smiled at me
Like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned
From all these tears
I’ve waited for you all those tears
Then just when it began
He took your love away
But I still say

Chorus
So the words you could not say
I’ll sing them for you
And the love we would have made
I’ll make it for tow
For every single memory
Has become a part of me
You will always be ... my love
Well I’ve been loved
So I know just what love is
And the lover that I kissed is always by my side
Oh the lover I still miss ... was Jesus to a child
