as a fan, michael & all of inxs entertained me for many years ans still till this day.
as a songwriter, michael & the band have inspired me to write some of my best work.
michael was and still is the best vocalist in music history. as well as the most amazing songwriter and live performer.
inxs is responsible for some of the greatest songs ever written, including: 'searching', 'elegantly wasted', 'the strangest party', 'new sensation', 'need you tonight', 'not enough time', 'disappear', 'original sin', 'burn for you' 'shine like it does', 'let it ride' and listen like thieves' to name just a few.
and in my opinion, the best song ever written: 'never tear us apart'.
michael was a genuis, and so is all of inxs.
they changed pop music forever, and made some of the most amazing music videos in the process, as well as doing out-of-this-world live shows.
michael will NEVER be forgotten.
he may be gone, but this world is a better place, because he was once here.
his talent will always live on, through his amazing career.
here's a tribute song i wrote for michael.
'fly as high as you wanna fly':
'heaven is lucky to have you- i hope that they know.
but it hurt like hell for me- to watch you go.
i'll miss you so much- cause you were the best part of life.
but i know it was time- for you to say goodbye.'
(chorus):'so go ahead and spread your wings- and fly as high as you wanna fly.
you can go where you wanna go now- cause there are no limits in the sky.
you've done so much for others- now it's time for you to be free.
so go ahead and fly- to where you need to be.'
'i know it won't be easy- living life without you here. you were the best friend a guy could as for- and i'll miss having you near. ...but i know you had to move on- and find a new place to grow.
so i wish you the best- in your new home.'
'so' (chorus)
'fly as high as you wanna fly- no one can stop you now.
fly as high as you wanna fly- you'll never fall back down.
you've done so much for others- now it's time for you to be free.
so go ahead and fly- to where you need to be.'
