Hyllest til kongen av Pop

Da Michael Jackson døde 25. Juni 2009 satt jeg med mine 10 billetter fordelt på to konserter til This Is It tour og så med vanntro at barndomshelten min var borte.  Kammeratjengen min som skulle reise til London for å  se The King of Pop for første gang skulle aldri få sjansen. Jeg hadde sett han live to ganger før, i 92 og 97 på Valle Hovin, noe jeg er veldig glad for nå.

Kom på her om dagen at jeg skrev en tekst for mange år siden under rettsaken. Jeg har redigert litt på den og den får bli min hyllest til MJ her på bloggen.

The brightest star

Growing up there was one thing for sure

That my hero in life was on top of the world

No one could reach his blistering heights

He trilled me with joy and wonderful delight

Feeling the groove from the beats and the sound

Lifting me up, up from the ground

He opened my eyes for dancing and song

For me that was the time when music was born

——————–

As time went by you were still number one

But some people meant the sparkle was gone

Other things became the focus in the news

And when that happens, it’s easy to loose

Still able to evolve in the chancing times

It became harder to separate the truth from the lies

But the sound in the speakers still left me in awe

Your magic was there, still giving me more

——————–

You were the brightest star of all

Sparkling clearly in the sky above

You were the brightest star of all

Entertaining the world with just one glove

You were the brightest star of all

Reaching this young boy’s curious soul

You were the brightest star of all

The brightest star of all

——————–

Whatever the future might bring to us all

The memories from childhood forever is stored

Remembering what made us who we are today

In my case a unique superstar dancing away

I will always be grateful for what you gave to me

And now that you are gone, it’s empty you see

You gave us all your magical touch

I just want to say: Thank you so much
