Here's an excerpt of a backing track of Michael Jackson's 'Human Nature' /' I'm in Heaven' I recently programmed and recorded for a client.

Nature/Heaven

Slow Motion Crash and Burn

Show me some proof, else there must be some doubt,
Turn of the networks, tune the world out.
Spike the story, bury the news,
I don't believe them, (but)what if it's true.

Tell me love is real, tell me rain falls upwards,
Read me all your fiction, tell me stories,
I'll believe all your lies, you said love was endless,
Another fairytale in all it's glory.

Am I dreaming, have I fallen asleep,
Thought I had you forever, mine for keeps,
Are you with me, or am I shipwrecked alone,
Your storm has left me orphaned, soaked to the bone.

Slave to the Rhythm 2019

Midnight...all these things to say,
But you don't talk around me,
You just blow me away.

Nightime....fading into black,
Will the maths give us an answer,
Will your orbit bring you back.

Morning......try to make you stay,
But the nightmares surround you,
and the dreams float away.

Questions.....a lasting goodbye?
I will answer I promise, 
You will have your reply. 


Will you cage the wanderer, or free the recluse. 
Will we burn when we crash, are our paths forever bound,
I will be the same person, when you come back around.

Orbits

It is not a given you will ever find love.
It is not a given you will be up to the task.
And it is not a given you will be forgiven. 
It is not a given you will ask..........for it.

You don't know if the past will set you free,
It may always bring you back, and never let you go,
And however much you beg, and however hard you pray,
It is not a given, she (he) will stay.

The mountain will not pass through the eye of a needle,
Without a shamen's chant, or a witch's spell.
And you may have to face the world alone,
Given you'll return to your shell.  

The fire may not light in the teeth of the storm,
The easy answer isn't always the truth.
It is not a given that the heat will keep you warm.
It isn't given you'll need proof.

The easy answer isn't always the truth,
Your fears maybe false, you never can't tell,
You may not yet have to face the world alone,
But it will be a given if you return to your shell.
