As

George Michael

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's the cure
you can rest your mind assured that
I'll be loving you always


As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older everyday
Just as all that's born is new
you know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always


Unitl the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more


Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day


As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
could make me the past
But that I musn't fear
I know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
Cause I'll be loving you always


Until the rainbow burns the sun out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more


Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day


As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
For now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
Cause I'll be loving you always


Until the rainbow burns the sun out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream


Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more

    All George Michael should know that he is a big Steve Wonder fan. He has expressed prue joy and excitement when performed with Steve Wonder for the first time on one of televised Motown Anniversary Reunions. When saw he perform with Smoky Robinson Careless Whispers, he looked nervious, but Smoky gave the okay to carry his without him. He was excited and at his most happiness when the moment Steve Wonder invited he to sing with him. It was like watch his dream come true, and from that moment on George's vocal range became stronge and he was more confident performer.

    It is sad that this song featuring M J B lost it chance to be a big for her and George. Because of His media exposure on about the being OUTSIDE. Love George Love him. This was a sad and not fair moment for this song to be release.

    The original was by Stevie Wonder and that George Michael covered it. Same thing goes for ''They Won't Go When I Go''.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
