Over 4️⃣4️⃣1️⃣ million views: this banned Michael Jackson video is more relevant than ever 😱🤐 The song is familiar, but the video gives chills—its message hits even harder today 🥺🔥 See for yourself in the article! ⬇️
We’ve all heard the song before, but watching the video for the first time gave me chills!
Michael Jackson, despite all the rumors, gossip, and scandals after his passing, remains a legendary musician and the true king of pop. His songs are timeless, and people will keep listening to them for decades to come. He was a brilliant artist and a true genius.
“Earth Song” is undeniably one of his greatest hits. With all the disasters and crises happening in the world today, this song feels more relevant than ever. Michael started working on it back in 1988, during his tour in Austria. At first, it was titled “What About Us?”—a question that hits even harder now.
It took seven long years to complete the song, but looking back, every bit of effort was worth it. Michael re-recorded the vocals multiple times and saved the most powerful part for the end. He once admitted that he intended to “tear his voice apart” during the climax to capture all the emotions he wanted to convey.
“Earth Song” is one of the few tracks where Michael highlighted a range of social issues so strongly. He sang about poaching, human rights violations, and environmental destruction—problems that are still painfully real today.
Many critics believe that Michael tried to present himself as a true humanist in this song. His powerful, almost desperate vocals were a way to shake up a selfish and indifferent society that only cares about itself. And judging by the impact of the song, he truly succeeded.
Watching the video again is a reminder of how much people are damaging themselves and the only home they have in this universe. It’s a powerful message to rethink our actions and start treating nature with care. Play the video below, let the message sink in, and maybe it will inspire a few changes in our habits.
