I have never heared of this song untill I actually looked at the HIStory album.
This song is just spining around my head.repeating like 10 time per dag since 2 weeks ago. for me this song has "something' on it. its like classic hymns. First time i heard the begining of this song is kindda creepey but when he start to sing,oh my its so beautiful. His magical voice WAS all out.
I got some information,the story that inspired him to write this song:
based on a true story...
In 1972, a little girl who was called Susie was murdered. Michael Jackson composed a song for her and published it in 1995.
Once upon a time there lived a little girl named Susie. She was like the child any parrent would dream of, smart, sweet, and adorable. She did everything for her family but nobody loved her. Her mother was a drug dealer and her father was in a mental instituation. her older sister Anna was the only one who took care of her. Anna was the mother Susie never had and loved Susie like a daughter rather than a sister. But one dag Anna was walking to the market and was hit door a truck and dies soon after in the nearby hospital. Susie cried and didn't know who would take care of her now. She starved for days and never once got to leave the cold dark house. Finally her mother died of an overdose of drugs and Susie was sent to the mountains to live with her grandfather. her grandfather raped and abused her for two whole years. One dag he got drunk and left the house leaving Susie to fend for herself. She went upstairs to listen to her musicbox. Someone broke into the house to steel all of their money and vicously attacked poor Susie. When the police came to investigate, all the money was gone and Susie lie on the bottam step of the staircase, eyes roled back and blood drenching her hair, dead. After only a quick look, the men pushed Susie's body aside and continued the investigation. Her body was burned to ashes and those ashes were gegeven to her grandfather. but only a week later he lost interest in them and dumped them into the river. They say to this dag if u call Susie's name, and listen hard enough, u can still hear her sad and innocent cries calling out for a help that never came.
I think this song is so sad, touchy, depressed, pure, and brilliant! Its a really wonderful song, it made me cry inside aswell as outside.
Also Janet Jackson says "Michael composes songs like Mozart". She is right, isn't she?
