SONG OF THE WEEK

George Michael is no stranger to controversy – with drug allegations, sex scandals and provocative videos.  Despite that, he has also written some of the most brilliant songs as part of Wham! with Andrew Ridgely or own his own.  He has written the classic and timeless; “Careless Whisper”, “Everything She Wants”, “Faith”, “One More Try”, “Father Figure”, “Jesus To A Child”, “Fastlove”, “Freedom 90”, “Praying For Time” and “Too Funky”.

George Michael also faced death last year as he struggled from pneumonia.  Thankfully – he survived.  He recorded a song to thank his fans for their love, support and prayers to become well.  This song is my pick for ‘the song of the week’, it’s called “White Light”.  Lyrics are first, then lyric video followed by the official video.  ENJOY.

WHITE LIGHT

I’m back
I’m back
Prouder than ever baby
Louder than ever maybe

One more pill
Just one more beer
One less star in the atmosphere
For us
Maybe she just wanted to be free

Heartless pictures on TV
Change that channel that could’ve been me
I said
Maybe she just wanted to be free

So I just kept breathing my friends
Waiting for the man to choose
Saying this ain’t the day that it ends
Cause there’s no white light
And I’m not through

I’m alive
I’m alive

And I’ve got so much more that I want to do
With the music
Was it music that saved me?
Or the way that you prayed for me?
Guess either way I thank you
I’m alive

Hotel Motel makes it clear
One more voice we will never hear again
But maybe he just wanted to be free

And I don’t know
What the hell
What the gods
What the f**k
I’m saying
Half the time
But something divine
Oh divine
Brought me back to you
And I know it

So I just kept breathing my friends
Waiting for some god to choose
Saying this ain’t the day that it ends
Cause there’s no white light
And I’m not through

I’m alive
I’m alive

And I’ve got so much more that I want to do
Was it music?
Was it science that saved me?
Or the way that you prayed for me
Guess either way I thank you

I’m alive

And Tomorrow is mine
I said Tomorrow is mine
Said I just got to keep on breathing
I said no
Don’t let goooo

Breathing breathing breathing

Got to keep on
Got to keep on
Got to keep on

I just got to keep on breathing
I’m alive
I’m alive

And I got so much more that I want to give
Was it music?
Was it science that saved me?
Or the way that you prayed and prayed for me
Well I thank you
I’m a-live
Yeah

Mmm hmmm
Mmm hmmm
