audio review : Cry ( song ) … Michael Jackson

The beginning sounds too much like Stranger In Moscow, but the song gets better from there. Cry, which the title suggests is a counterpart to Scream, is actually the new Man In The Mirror; a fact you might not recognize until the end. “Change the world”, is the final message. Back then it was, “Make that change.”

Aesthetically both philanthropy anthems are about the same, but the message sounded more urgent in 1987. The melodies are well composed and the ad-libs during the final minute near classic Michael Jackson, but, despite backup from a full gospel choir, he sounds less energetic, ironically less Invincible, here.

Ghosts ( song lyrics ) ... Michael Jackson

There’s a ghost out in the hall.
There’s a ghoul up under the bed.
There’s something in the walls.
There’s blood up on the stairs.
And it’s floating thru the room.
And there’s nothing I can see.
And I know it’s fled its tomb
because now it’s haunting me.

I don’t understand it.
Hey. I don’t understand it.

There’s a thumping in the floor.
There’s a creak behind the door.
There’s a rocking in the chair,
but there’s no one sitting there.
There’s a ghostly smell around,
but nobody to be found.
And a coffin, it lay open
where a restless soul is poking.

I don’t understand it
I don’t understand it.

And who gave you the right to scare my family?
And who gave you the right to shake my baby? She needs me.
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?

They put a knife in my back, shot an arrow in me.
Tell me; are you the ghost of jealousy?

And who gave you the right to scare my family?
And who gave you the right to scare my baby? She needs me.
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
And who gave you the right to take intrusion to see me?

And who gave you the right to shake my family?
And who gave you the right to (scare) my baby? She needs me.
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?

She put a knife in my back, shot an arrow in me.
Tell me; are you the ghost of jealousy?
