Jackson knows how to lay out anguish. This song is personally painful to me. It was rather like an anthem for a period when I had to make a decision after sitting atop a precipice for a long while. I compulsively played this tune. Somehow the words became a prayer, and I found the courage I needed. The thing was already inextricably broken, and had been for years.
It's a daunting crossroads, but not unique. Somehow we find the music that fits the situation.
The wonder of a skilled poet and a musical treatment that carries the words so artfully is something that helps us to manage the journey.
