Don't worry, you are not the only one who listens to this masterpiece in 2024
Every year I come back to listen to this song, I think a lot of people can find themselves in this song, he is still the best. There's no other artist than can really make you feel the songs.
Same 💗 I have tears when I listen to this song. Only Michael can make you feel that extra something. Magical ✨ He was beyond his time.
@@jeanettevalencia1975 He feels like a stranger because he was one of Gods chosen ones: John 15:18-27 "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you."
I'ts my birthday tmrw. 11th Sept. I've felt so alone and depressed for many years now and I hate when my birthday approaches. I love this song.
Do you know a Michael Jackson song that it's disco-ish??? i think its not that famous
Michael Jackson wrote that song in a hotel room in Moscow. He was inspired by a sense of loneliness he felt in his hotel room in spite of thousands of fans chanting his name outside. The song portrays the emotions of disillusionment, alienation, isolation, betrayal, anguish and loneliness. It is a song of struggle and triumph. This ethereal, lavishly mellodic, haunting ballad was produced out of chaos in Michael Jackson’s life written in response at the time he was being accused of child sex abuse. The song is about a man who is trying to have his voice heard while he is being crucified by the media.

One of my most favourite MJ songs. Thanks for this comment ❤️

Same here May 2024,really missing MJ so much
This guy was just a legend.........the creativity in this song I just can't have enough of ......who is with me 2024
Eu! Creativitate exact!
Michael Jackson is not a pedophile ( LOVE YOU MICHAEL )
That's right!
Yup totally agree
We have to accept that we can't know the answer.
Ákos Zoboki he was proven innocent if you research it 🙄
@@asiaxstephens_ Sure, but does it matter? Legal services are not equal for everyone. That is the externality of basic human rights. If you are more wealthy, you get better legal services, better lawyers etc. I think it makes no sense acting like we are the court of universal justice. We don't know anything about him that is enough to decide it. So don't care of that. Just enjoy his music. Anything more is only religion. Only based on our beliefs.
Can someone agree with me that there will never ever be another Michael Jackson in the music scene in the entire world, and no one will reach his music level.
facts
Agreed
He is an unique soul. Love his beautiful soul for all he gifted to the world.
Facts❤️
It's called generation x (between baby boom and generation y)
Stop asking who is listening we never stop listening
HAHAHA
You got that right :)
Brilliant.Too true.
Мы всегда будем слушать Майкла Джексона и наши дети, и дети наших детей❤
Exactly
Deserve a noble prize for this masterpiece....
This is one of Michael's most underrated songs.
Yeah
I agree
Facts. This is on repeat for me
🌹🕊🌹🕊🌹🕊
He is not dancing in this video. He is singing and shows that he is a fantastic singer. But people like hes dancing videos more. That is a little bit sad
I read this on Wikipedia: Jackson's biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli, has stated that the video is based on Jackson's real life. He used to walk alone at night looking for new friends, even at the peak of his musical popularity. The 1980s saw him become deeply unhappy; Jackson, as a teenager, explained in an interview, "Even at home, I'm lonely. I sit in my room sometimes and cry. It's so hard to make friends... I sometimes walk around the neighborhood at night, just hoping to find someone to talk to. But I just end up coming home." I wish I could’ve been his friend 😔 Rest in Peace Michael ❤️
A USA quarter in which I'm guessing the setting in the video, in Moscow? Which is in Russia. Other than that it's good song
Also same
made me cry
What he felt is exactly what I felt maybe what I feel now but I feel better when I listen to this song, this vibe OMG...
This makes me so sad💔 Mike was so beautiful he didn't deserve any of this
A true work of art, Michael Jackson will forever be the king of pop!
so unique. the body of work he gave to us all unmatched
I listen to this song soooo often.. we lost this musical genius waaay too soon 😢❤
We still can listening the masterpieces
Michael Jackson. The only singer who screams without hurting your ears
@Brandon Caudill Agree
@Brandon Caudill also Kurt Cobain( in my opinion, don't get offended 😘?)
Never thought about it but it's actually so true
THee heeh heeh... You know it,,,, Chamone
👍
He isn't here to defend himself, so we must do it for him
Yes !! We must! It's time to give back...❤
@xox Billie Jean xox yess ✊✊
PERIOD ❗️💯
Let‘s do it, not just talking!!💪🏻🤝
100 percent
Maybe I'm the only one but I love the way he sings "How does it feel now?"
Nobody can or will ever be able to sing an MJ song to its perfection. It’s out of this world…
He literally captured exactly how depression, and social anxiety feels.
This is EXACTLY why He is the GOAT!
Fact❣️
He and Seal. Hands down 😭😭
We need jesus christ
@@Hitman-47 yeah, I love Michael Jackson.
Coolest man in the world. Society don't deserved him. Honest people die too young. Fake people destroyed him (medias, fake allegations...). Michael said "Prejudice is ignorance. Before you judge me, try hard to love me." His legacy in domain of music and charity will live forever.
Michael had a lot of prejudices especially prejudices that destroyed his life. He had an obsession with kids and thought that everyone after thirteen was imperfect. I WISH HE COULD HAVE LOVED HIMSELF A BIT.
💔
@@AB-sg7pl ♥yes .
@@AB-sg7pl That’s bullsh*t media tries to spread. MJ valued all people.
Your words are pure gold🙏
Forgot how beautiful this song is. Wow, just incredible ❤
Is this not the saddest song Michael Jackson wrote??? When I discovered it yesrs ago....I was so sad for him!!! This man had Everything but yet was sad and alone. I don't think we know just yet how much he is missed now??? There is a void left by him, never to be filled. Man, wish I could have shared a cup of coffee with him just to maybe make his day. RIP Michael Jackson and Thank you for this beautiful music you left us....
I miss you, Michael. The world is missing you.
:"(
@@bahlysh783 Don't cry! He's in a best place now :)
Indeed. He is in best place now. But something empty from my soul without his kindness and love here on this lost world :(
I’m from Brasil you say the true
of course world is missing him when he was only one who cared about world im crying every time i think about it and i couldn't hug him.
Michael was too pure for this world man 🥺
Absolutely!
Yes, that is very true.
His pureness was used against him. Pinning him as a pedophile. 😭🥹
This old clip is better than 99% modern music clips
Многое из прежнего лучше
Agreed 100%
When I listen this song I can’t help but feel the sadness in his life a man being persecuted for things he didn’t do, this world is a cold place however his music lives on forever. Long live the king of pop
Michael was innocent like a child. But too innocent for his own good. People exploited him and the media painted him as a monster, when it was society that was.
amen brother ☮️ or sister !
XX
The evil world destroy and took advantage him
He said the truth about the satanistic music industry/media/politics/hollywood, therefore they killed him. Its a fact, just like they get rid of everyone who starts speaking out about them. It makes me so sad and angry. Evil people shouldn’t win, hopefully they burn in hell 🤮
@akhanak889 can you please watch the documentary SquareOneMJ on KZhead and share it with everyone else?
His music is timeless.
O sure its like a magical moment when he is singingand dancing
You now how its feeling his music
Lit-erally 😭👑

You said words of my heart ...
He wrote that song in the darkest times in his life where he was humiliated and shunned and accused and so alone but he took all of these dreadful emotions and made them into a beautiful hunting melody that reaches the deepest depths of your soul. He was so strong, well fought Michael.
The one & only king of pop . No one will be like you. Love for you king ❤of pop.

This video and song still holds up in 2024. It doesn't look or feel dated. MJ was always looking to produce the best. The song is tragically beautiful. You know that MJ started this with a beat box. You know when MJ has a piano in his song, its going to hit you deeply emotionally e.g. Earth Song

One of the best songs in HIStory album
but it's not a Moscow!
any album for that matter
I agree that mike is a good singer
One of the best songs in history
"Stranger in Moscow" is without a doubt the most melodic of Michael Jackson's songs ... really magnificent ...
The earth song is pretty damn melodic.
@@xGaLoSx Earth song is a cry Stranger in Moscow is a complaint Both are beautiful
A few people who worked closely with him on Thriller think that its his best song
My favorite song off his History album.
Hola cómo están 🙁🙁🙁🙁
Always and forever here. God bless Michael soul.
Майкл Джексон это очень творческая натура и потрясающий талант, он чувствовал музыку и её ритм. Но в душе он был ребёнком. Очень чувственная и ранимая натура. Жаль что его нет больше. Но его песни будут жить вечно.
Ну, благо он успел вложить достаточно громоздкий вклад, а то куда он успел приложить руку так вообще удивляет и радует
Stranger In Moscow is one of the most beautiful written songs, it’s has always been my favorite song for years. It gives me the chills.
MASTERPIECE
It is definitely powerful with a theme on his life.
Funny thing is I never knew this song existed till after MJ death its perhaps my favorite as well
Its at the end of Sonic 3 during the end crediys. I knew I loved that end credit song for a reason.
AGREED!!!!!
All is perfect. The white and black, the rain, the sad people, the coffee, the slow motion. Just everything is nostalgic
So true...
It's like a self-reflection and anything aroun moves slowly...
but it's not a Moscow!
@@AlexanderVoronkin Do you feel disappointed?
That's Michael Jackson 💕💕🔥🔥
1:53-2:22 That part of the song its so sad and full of hope at the same time.
RIP Michael Jackson 🙏🏾. May God give you everlasting life 🙏🏾
I will never understand why this song is so underrated!
@@user-xs8kh7vv6n exactly! I look the movie ghost and understand after this years- he sing about pizza g ate😬
Many ppl prefer ''They Don't Care About Us'' but i prefer this over 1996
Lols
it's not a Moscow!
There’s stupid people on earth
He did his own background vocals, including his "human beat box" that you hear in this brilliant song
No, this was a drumcomputer, with his own beatbox sounds that should ring for him. it is impossible to beatboxing for 4 minutes in good time. The mouth hurts after a while
It was a repeated track.. but okay romano, whatever you say xd
"okay ramano" LMAO
God this man is pure talent
@@romanodanjetto9117 No it's not. Do you listen to Rap Music? Because Biz Markie, Doug E Fresh Ready Roc C. And others have. And check out The Word Beatbox Championships.On KZhead . Michael has been listening to Rap Music. And is a fan of Hip hop for years. But i wished that he would have been closer to the Hip Hop world. But he did make some songs. With Heavy D, LL COOL J and Lady of Rage.
2024 Mike still the best singer
The greatest singer songwriter to have lived gone but never forgotten 🌟
they wanted to destroy Michael when he was living, they wanted to destroy him when he was gone, but his message, his music, his energy will never be destroyed by any evil beings of this planet or in this universe, his music, his legacy and all the comfort it brings us is ETERNAL... thk you MJ
This song make me a live

Justice will be served sooner or later, MJ enjoying life in heaven up above and Karma downstairs is a you know what.

One of the most beautiful music video and song
this song is EXCEPTIONAL.. the music, the score, the sounds, the intro, the lyrics, his vocals, the ambient sounds with the rain, the instrument choices, the vulnerability, the adlibs, the power in his voice (especially at the end 3:25 ) the production is pure brilliance..
2021 Janet said this was her favorite MJ song. I’m like mine too! God I miss this man 😭😭❤️❤️😭 I’ve been riding with MJ since ABC song. This pain just won’t go away.
Janet said that this year(2021)?
We shall meet him in the after life.
I love this song too
Janet Jackson ?
Ok settle down there. You didn’t even know him personally.
The fact this was shot in Green-screen at 1995, It’s a phenomenal piece of edit and cinematography.
This still looks good for a green screen from 25 years ago.
By far the best 😩
1995?!... Whoa, this was a decade ahead of its time...
And the message is beautiful. Like many of his music videos. I like the part where they just feel the rain falling down.
@@jlorenzo6428 Hi 🙂 Yes, I agree ! "Stranger In Moscow" was an *absolute masterpiece.* Michael initially wrote it as a poem about how he was feeling like an outcast in society because of all the false accusations, and the media portraying him as a monster and dragging his name through the mud. "Stranger In Moscow" was the final single he ever released.
I can’t imagine it but I’m sure Michael has wrote so many perfectly beautiful dark songs or end of the road songs. Probably saved millions of lives by not recording or releasing. But at the same time, so many souls could have made pure peace with termination. Wow, that actually blows me away thinking of that just now.
I did not understand the quality of the music and the genius vocals by Michael on this song.. After 27 years, it is a bittersweet feeling to notice all that. This guy was a pure genius. A pure genius…
Beautiful comment ❤
One of MJ's underrated songs. Actually it's one of my favorites compared to his famous hit songs.
It totally is my favorite. Never hear some of the better songs on the radio unfortunately.
100% ....the feel of this song is haunting...one of his best
I think it is definitely in his top 5, maybe top 3!!
I love this even more because Dallas Austin shared about how MJ wrote this song when he was hidden by the Russian government. The US didn’t like that. HAHA. Hope you get to watch Dallas’ full interview with Djvlad’s YT channel. MJ was really on another level and was like more influential than any heads of state. 😂
Couldn't agree more!! ❤️
Michael Jackson was and still is centuries ahead of his time.
Lmao!

Не могу перестать плакать. Этот великий, прекрасный человек хотел мира во всём мире, делал для этого невероятно много. Но, увы, как и всем по-настоящему искренним людям, ему пришлось столкнуться с жестокостью человечества. Он не заслужил такого отвратительного отношения к себе, и такую несправедливую жизненную долю. Он не будет забыт никогда. Ну а "Stranger in Moscow" - несомненно, любимая песня
Cry not kaleria let your tears not be of sadness but of joy 🎶🎵🌹✨
Человеческая злоба, зависть и жадность привели его к такому концу. Люди не любят ярких, успешных и талантливых. Вряд ли его забудут, потому что то, что он оставил после себя, забыть невозможно. Что бы о нем не говорили, но до сих пор я не вижу кто бы мог сравниться с ним по уровню таланта.

This song is just amazing. PERIOD.
Michael Jackson was a gift to the world. He was incredibly different, had so much compassion & pure love. They should have leave him alone, he didn't deserve what was thrown to him
Yeah, it's absolutely true,I love mj an his all over song's
Love his music, but he absolutely deserved "what was thrown at him". He was a 40+ yr old inviting 8 yr old children to sleep with him in his bed. He openly admitted it and continued with it even after it went to the courts. Whatever did or didn't happen, that's just creepy and disgusting. He deserved everything he got, and likely more, period! No argument!
So true,he really wanted to heal this sick 🌎, he loved,cared,up lifted,every one he encountered. Beautiful soul they can't hurt him anymore, he's resting now
Most good people aren’t loved 🙂
@@joieleazar8397 What? Do you know "most" good people? Michael Jackson waa adored. To the point where people you and others here are willing to condone or ignore over his highly inappropriate and possibly abusive behaviour with young boys, because you loved his image and music. That is terrifying, and deeply, deeply disturbing.

Can we just talk for a second about the stylistic and storytelling choices he made to capture the emotions of the song in the short film?!?! I think it's truly amazing how he decided to portray the relationship with loneliness and sadness throught the short film, by changing the way in which he and the other characters relate to their loneliness and sadness (symbolized by the rain) in the middle of the short film versus the end... because at first they try to avoid it, to get away from it and distance themselves from it but then, at the end, they learn to embrace that feeling, and feel those painful, torturing sensations and finally acceptd them as shown by the sequences in which Michael and the characters decide to step out in the middle of the pouring rain and just stay there, feeling the water running over them and embracing that feeling... I think it is a wonderful and amazing way to portray the relationship between himself and his emotions by using this simple yet very powerful and visually eloquent metaphor.
RIP to the greatest singer, songwriter, performer, entertainer that has EVER lived. Really miss this guy.
amen ;-;
He didn't write the lyrics to all of his hits. He didn't write the music because he can't write music and he can't read music. He never played an instrument on any of his songs. While at Motown, he never wrote the lyrics or music to any songs the Jackson 5 performed. The heights of MJ's career were when he was working with producer Quincy Jones. When the two parted company and Quincy Jones moved on to other things, the quality of MJ's songs dropped significantly. Compare the sales of "Dangerous", "Invincible" and "Xscape"(without Quincy Jones) to "Off The Wall", "Thriller" and "Bad" (with Quincy Jones) and you'll see who was the driving force behind MJ's solo success. As for MJ being the greatest singer of all time, it's not even close. Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand and Freddie Mercury all have a better vocal range than MJ. Barry Gibb and Prince have far superior falsetto vocals than MJ.
@@donaldodavisi225 Michael wrote most of his songs. He wrote 150 of his own songs. He couldn't read music notes, but he could memorize sounds and imitate all kinds of instruments with just his voice. He's been credited to playing a few instruments on his albums, such as the keyboard. Michael wrote some songs for The Jacksons when he was still with them. “Dangerous”, “History”, and “Invincible”might not have sold as greatly as “Off the Wall”, “Thriller”, or “Bad”, but those albums still sold significantly well. Dangerous is one of the best-selling albums of all time having sold over 32 million copies worldwide, and was certified 8× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in August 2018. History sold over 20 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time, and the best-selling multi-disc album. Invincible has to date sold more than 13 million copies worldwide. IFPI put the album as the №9 best selling album of 2001. So Michael Jackson was still successful with or without Quincy Jones’s help. Michael Jackson is one of the greatest male vocalists of all time. He had the ability to sing both staccato (Smooth Criminal) and legato rhythms in perfect timing. His vocal runs were never overkill and were rapidly fluid. He had the ability to hold notes for extended periods without heavy fluctuation in pitch. His lows were the darkest part of his range, being heavy and ever-so-slightly smokey. His mid-range gained brightness as it ascended, and his belting range had almost a chameleon edge to it, it could adopt different timbres and tones. It could come with a rock edge, a softer, mellow tone, or a light or heavy timbre.. This allowed for vocal versatility and transitions through different genres. You can’t really compare a male’s voice to a female’s voice. Michael is a star rated vocalist. Are Barry Gibb and Prince star rated vocalists? You seem like an MJ hater so why click on his videos if you don’t like him?🙄
@@donaldodavisi225 - "We wanted to write, we wanted to produce ourselves and our contract with Motown didn't let us do that" - Marlon Jackson. They had no creative control over their work in Motown that's why they left & joined CBS records. - Michael Jackson was a virtuoso composer, despite being unable to read music or play instruments well. He wrote the the parts to his songs by singing and beatboxing into a tape recorder. "“He would sing us an entire string arrangement, every part. Had it all in his head, harmony and everything." - If you’ve ever heard the below early demo of ‘Beat It’, you’ll know Michael Jackson’s extraordinary process of writing songs - by building each element of a track with his voice. Every note of every chord, harmony, melody, bass and even the rhythm through beat-boxing. The full harmonies will blow your mind. - Michael wrote or co-wrote: 4/9 songs in Thriller album 9/11 songs in Bad album 11/14 songs in Dangerous album 12/15 songs in HIStory album And all these 4 albums are one the list of biggest selling albums of all time. Either way, it's not about the quantity but the quality. He's universally praised by critics for his socially conscious lyrics which make him truly one of a kind & hence inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. - As for MJ's songwriting, I don't think he's ever received enough credit. If you listen to/ notice the progression of skills in this area you can't help but be impressed. Technically he knew everything about how to make a great song and between his lyrical abilities, his musical instincts and his actual performance as a singer can't be touched. - The way MJ wrote his songs is astounding by itself, but how he used his voice to arrange the music in his head made it hard to believe he was human. During the production stage, he would actually sing every instrument to explain how everything was to be performed. Then, he would arrange all of the polished sounds almost like a mental math problem. It was all in his head, and the fact that he was able to memorize every instrument’s part, vocalize it, and then put it together flawlessly was mind-blowing. If that isn’t stupefying enough, he said he typically was working on 5 songs at the same time. During the “Dangerous” court case, he testified against plagiarism charges by singing all four base lines layered on top of each other on a tape recorder, pitch-perfect. - “One morning MJ came in with a new song he had written overnight. We called in a guitar player, and Michael sang every note of every chord to him. “’Here’s the first chord, first note, second note, third note. Here’s the second chord first note, second note, third note’, etc etc. We then witnessed him giving the most heartfelt and profound vocal performance, live in the control room through an SM57,” says Rob Hoffman, sound engineer. “He would sing us an entire string arrangement, every part. Steve Porcaro once told me he witnessed MJ doing that with the string section in the room. Had it all in his head, harmony and everything. Not just little eight bar loop ideas. He would actually sing the entire arrangement into a micro-cassette recorder complete with stops and fills.” - His tone, range, ability to manipulate his texture, his emotive abilities, his control, the vocal stamina, the rhythmic phrasing, timing, his technical prowess, the clarity, power, etc all prove MJ is w/o a doubt an all time great male pop vocalist. Michael’s technique to control his vibrato & pitch in his large vocal range is simply excellent. Take a listen to his outtakes in “We Are The World.” If you put the vocals into an audio editor and use autotune, it hardly sounds different. Michael’s voice was trained and perfected so well that he truly almost had a perfect pitch.
@@donaldodavisi225 - If it was all Quincy, how come he couldn't duplicate the same success with his other artists? Quincy was a great composer, but his resume as a pop producer was a little suspect...UNTIL Michael vouched for him. Quincy did not create Michael... Michael created Michael. Dangerous actually went on to become Jackson’s best-selling album after Thriller, shifting 7m copies in the US and more than 32m copies worldwide. Dangerous is also the best selling album of the decade. Bad sold 35 million, so there isn't a huge difference between the sales numbers of Bad & Dangerous. MJ had the same success with & without Quincy Jones. HIStory also sold more than Off The Wall. In the 90's MJ's work became less commercial & more Artistic. Dangerous & HIStory is sublime art. Also pls name one non-MJ related Quincy Jones work that surpassed Dangerous/ HIStory or even invincible. - MJ KNEW the sound he wanted in all of his music, he worked tirelessly with producers until that sound was achieved. He was the one who came up with the melodies & tunes before they even started working on it. His songwriting & composing skills are underestimated. I can dismiss the Beatles by saying George Martin produced it, but the visualisation & lyrics & melodies were made by the Beatles. - Bad’s greatest achievement is MJ’s immense creativity; not only did he co-produce the entire album but he also wrote nine of the final 11 songs. It's wasn't all Quincy's work, - He wanted more creative control over his art and as a result came out with dangerous album, his first self produced work which is just as fantastic as his Quincy Influenced work. Dangerous is his most creative work to date. - Dangerous sounded like nothing MJ had done before, from the glass-shattering, horn-flavoured verve of Jam to the factory-forged, industrial funk of the title track. In place of Thriller’s pristine crossover R&B and Bad’s cinematic drama are a sound and message that are more raw, urgent and attuned to the streets. On several other songs Jackson integrated rap, one of the first pop artists - along with Prince - to do so. Dangerous is noted for cultivating the new jack swing music, it's contributions can be seen significantly in today's alternative r&b and pop music in general - HIStory is incredible. The album is truly like a prophecy. Earth song, They Don't Care about us, Scream, Tabloid junkie, Money... It's his best produced & engineered album. The sound is perfect. So honest, artistic & experimental but most importantly - he came for everybody & everything and didn’t leave anybody out. HIStory album is the most anti-establishment album ever made by a mainstream Pop Artist. - HIStory tour was the highest grossing solo tour of the 90's and HIStory has sold over 20 mil copies worldwide, making it one of the best selling albums of all time. It was nominated for 5 Grammy's including album of the year. - As an album, invincible is actually pretty solid. Again, ahead of it's time like he usually was,with dubstep tracks like heartbreaker getting panned by critics for it's weird beats, only for dubstep to later become a thing 8 years later and for the same critcs to be marveling at it. Invincible album: He was always experimenting and wanted to offer ppl something new and timeless. In Heartbreaker MJ beatboxed the entire beat and added the sounds and all , absolutely genius. In most of his songs ,he was rhythm itself. He didn't need any instruments bcos he was the instrument.
Michael was a visual person. He had the ability to make the audience feel his emotions. Truly missed!!!
2024 and MJ is still the BEST.
This song evokes a strange kind of nostalgia, unrequited love and pathos which can't be described in words....only MJ was capable of such soulful and heart touching melody...Rip legend 💔

@@kuldeepgoswami5854 I was born in 2004 and I also heard about him but I never listened to any of his songs till 2016
Today it was raining while i was walking to school, i looked around, nobody was there. When i continued to walk, there were finally people. It’s just like this song. And i feel so heartbroken at school. 28 classmates of me hate me for no reasons. I always ask myself what did i do wrong while crying. I only have 6 friends at a school where 800+ students are…
Wishes he was still alive today 😢miss you so so much mj😭😭😭
30 years later and this song still hits like it dropped yesterday!!! Fun fact, he wrote this song in 1993... Timeless art !!!
