Earth Song
Michael Jackson
Introduce:
Earth Song" was written and composed by Jackson; production of the song was a collaborative effort between Jackson, David Foster and Bill Bottrell.Andrae Crouch's Choir and Jackson engage in a back and forth chant as the song reaches its climatic finale. Jackson's intent was to create a song that was lyrically deep yet melodically simple, so the whole world, particularly non-English-speaking fans, could sing along. He conceptualized a song that had an emotional message. "Earth Song" is a ballad that incorporates elements of blues, gospel and opera. In the socially conscious track, Jackson issues a plea to God about problems ranging from war to endangered animals

心得:
This is the best song ever written. And we should learn something from it.
This song states that the pollution on the earth makes the doomsday close more and more. It reminds us though mankind has huge power but we are not able to stop the retaliation of natural strength. I like his songs because it’s a meaningful song that we should do environmental protection together. Otherwise, natural resources will be used up by us, the people in the future will not have enough resources that can be used.

我覺得這是有史以來寫得最好的歌曲。我們應該從中學到一些東西。這首歌說污染使的世界末日離我們越來越近。它提醒我們，雖然人類擁有巨大權力，但我們無法阻止大自然的反撲。 我喜歡這首歌，是因為他相當具有意義，我們應該都應該共同保護這環境。否則，資源將被耗盡我們的後代子孫將沒有足夠的資源可以使用。
