Saw my reflection in a window and didn't know my own face. Oh brother are you gonna leave me wastin' away On the streets of Philadelphia. Spoiler I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt. I was unrecognizable to myself. Saw my reflection in a window and didn't know my own face. Oh brother are you gonna leave me wastin' away On the streets of Philadelphia. I walked the avenue, 'til my legs felt like stone, I heard the voices of friends, vanished and gone, At night I could hear the blood in my veins, It was just as black and whispering as the rain, On the streets of Philadelphia. Ain't no angel gonna greet me. It's just you and I my friend. And my clothes don't fit me no more, A thousand miles Just to slip this skin. Night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake, I can feel myself fading away, So receive me brother with your faithless kiss, Or will we leave each other alone like this On the streets of Philadelphia.

Would it be the same If I saw you in heaven? I must be strong and carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven Spoiler Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same If I saw you in heaven? I must be strong and carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven? Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven? I'll find my way through night and day 'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same If I saw you in heaven? I must be strong and carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven Hallelujah...I like the Jeff Buckley version of which is about the mourning of a broken love and about regret, guilt, and penance. Spoiler   Spoiler Well I've heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? Well it goes like this: The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya She tied you to her kitchen chair And she broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah But baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya And I've seen your flag on the marble arch And love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well there was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me do ya But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You by Stevie Nicks which was written for Joe Walsh (from the Eagles) when he took her for a long ride and told him about the love of his life...his little girl who died when she was 3 and a half years old. Emma was the only thing on this planet who understood him. It's about loss and feeling so very sorry for someone and wanting so badly to connect and show them that they are still understood and loved. Spoiler  Has anyone ever written anything for you? In all your darkest hours Have you ever heard me sing Listen to me now You know I'd rather be alone Than be without you Don't you know...

She already knew that path she was heading down and that it would nearly take her life. It is also about overcoming an abusive relationship and then turning to abusing your body with drugs. Spoiler  Rock on gold dust woman Take your silver spoon Dig your grave Heartless challenge Pick your path and I'll pray... Spoiler Rock on gold dust woman Take your silver spoon Dig your grave Heartless challenge Pick your path and I'll pray Wake up in the morning See your sunrise loves to go down Lousy lovers pick their prey But they never cry out loud Cry out Did she make you cry Make you break down Shatter your illusions of love And is it over now do you know how Pick up the pieces and go home. Rock on ancient queen Follow those who pale In your shadow Rulers make bad lovers You better put your kingdom up for sale Up for sale Well did she make you cry Make you break down Shatter your illusions of love And is it over now, do you know how Pickup the pieces and go home. Well did she make you cry Make you break down Shatter your illusions of love And now tell me Is it over now, do you know how Pickup the pieces and go home Go home Go home Pale Shadow Of a woman Black widow Pale Shadow Of a dragon Dust woman Pale Shadow Of a woman Black widow Pale Shadow She's a dragon Gold dust woman Woman, woman Live - Lightning Crashes which was dedicated to a friend who was killed in high school by a drunk driver. The song is about the relationship between birth and death and a transference/balance of joy and unbelievable tragedy. Spoiler  Lightning crashes an old mother dies Her intentions fall to the floor The angel closes her eyes The confusion that was hers Belongs now to the baby down the hall Spoiler Lightning crashes a new mother cries Her placenta falls to the floor The angel opens her eyes The confusion sets in Before the doctor can even close the doorLightning crashes an old mother dies Her intentions fall to the floor The angel closes her eyes The confusion that was hers Belongs now to the baby down the hall Oh now feel it, comin' back again Like a rollin', thunder chasing the wind Forces pullin' from The center of the earth again I can feel it. Lightning crashes a new mother cries This moment she's been waiting for The angel opens her eyes Pale blue colored iris Presents the circle And puts the glory out to hide, hide Oh now feel it, comin' back again Like a rollin', thunder chasing the wind Forces pullin' from The center of the earth again I can feel it. Oh now feel it, comin' back again Like a rollin', thunder chasing the wind Forces pullin' from The center of the earth again I can feel it. That's all I can think of right now off the top of my head. ⚯͛ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds weirdly optimistic but you can really tell Michael was a lonely soul through that song. 🌸Flourishing and vibrant🌼 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batwings 12,882 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 This isn't necessarily my favorite, but this is such an underrated Madonna song, and the fact that she's singing about domestic violence against upbeat pop/dance music makes it almost more uncomfortable in a way.
