Darren Hayes' tribute to Michael Jackson

Darren posted this on his FB..

Glorious

 

by Darren Hayes on Saturday, 01 October 2011It's no secret I'm a Michael Jackson fan. Many people know that he was a huge inspiration to me growing up. Many also know that part of my connection to the song 'Black Out The Sun' is that, although I didn't write the song about M.J - I recorded it the day he passed away and I hear that emotion in the vocal every time I listen to it. What not many people know is that I did write a song about Michael after he died. It's called Glorious and it's a bonus track on the special and collector's editions of the new album.

 

Given that the news is presently focused on the darker side of his passing - I thought I'd publish the lyrics to the song I wrote in celebration of the light he brought to my life. Here are the lyrics to Glorious.

Glorious

 

You will never get older and you will never feel pain

Or fill the room with laughter like you used to

And I won't hear you speaking or others call your name

In spite of this the world will still continue

 

And you will always remain in my heart forever young

Sun and wind won't change you and you'll escape the hands of time

And now your beauty won't betray you and your future's paved with gold

But in my mind you are suspended and you will be forever young

 

I'm a little bit hopeful that we all carry on

But part of me still thinks we're all just stardust

And from the highest mountain I went to make a sound

I thought that if I called out you would answer

But no one did

 

And you will always remain in my heart forever young

Sun and wind won't change you and you'll escape the hands of time

And now your beauty won't betray you and your future's paved with gold

But in my mind you are suspended and you will be forever young

 

I know the rules of the game

For every sunset the light has to fade

But baby a light like yours was so glorious

Glorious

 

R.I.P M.J

For me, you will always be forever young. by Darren Hayes

我已經在自己的部落格中提及Michael Jackson很多次 - 那些一直有在注意我的職業生涯的人們都知道，對我而言MJ以及他的音樂在我成長過程裡有多重要。
這是起因於1987年我在演唱會上看到Michael Jackson，在那個當下，我了解到我想成為一個表演者，因此大家可以理解在他逝去的當時，對我個人來說是相當難過的一天。
我寫了這首歌 "Glorious (輝煌)"來向Michael Jackson致敬，這是我選擇記得Michael的方式 : 充滿喜悅與生命。
我選擇記住他的魔幻魅力以及他耀眼的活力，在我腦海突然出現一幅景象，是關於我觀賞他在"Bad"巡演時，站在舞台上的小片段，
在這個場景裡，我記得當時感受到無與倫比的電力，就來自於他的手指與腳趾，那時的他正在布里斯本娛樂中心的舞台上，把腳踢往空中，那是1987年的11月。
我記起那股興奮的浪潮是如何掃過體育館以及來到我的心裡，就像是個霓虹颶風，橫掃全場。
願你安息，MJ，對我而言，你，永遠年輕。

I've blogged about Michael Jackson many times - those who've followed my career know how important he and his music were to me growing up. I attribute seeing him in concert in 1987 as the moment I realised I wanted to become a performer, so understandably his passing was quite a sad day for me personally. I wrote this song 'Glorious' in tribute to Michael Jackson. It's about the way I choose to remember Michael : full of joy and life. I choose to remember his magic and his sparkle of energy. A snap shot comes to mind and it's a mini movie in my head of seeing him on stage during the 'Bad' tour. In this movie I remember feeling the force of the invisible electricity coming from his fingers and toes as he kicks into the air on stage at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in November 1987. I recall how that wave of adrenaline swept through the arena and into my heart, like a neon tornado.

你永遠都不會變老，永遠都不會感受到苦痛
或者 你會用笑聲填滿整個空間，就像你以前常做的那樣
我將無法聽到你說話 或者聽到別人呼喊你的名字
儘管這個世界依然運轉著，

你將會永遠存留在我的心裡，永遠年輕著
風吹日曬無法改變你，你會逃離時光的掌控
你的美麗再也不會背棄你，你的未來充滿了璀璨
但在你永遠都暫停在我的心中，永遠年輕。

我有點希望，我們都繼續前進，
但部分的我仍然覺得，我們都只是星塵，
我前往最高的山上呼喊著，我以為如果我呼喊著，你會回應我
但卻沒有人回應著我

你將會永遠存留在我的心裡，永遠年輕著
風吹日曬無法改變你，你會逃離時光的掌控
你的美麗再也不會背棄你，你的未來充滿了璀璨
但在你永遠都暫停在我的心中，永遠年輕。

我知道遊戲的規則，
每道夕陽的光終將褪去
但是，寶貝，你就像一道光一樣如此的輝煌
輝煌~
