Reviews
- Earth Song went all the way to number one in UK and #15 in Australia.the verses remind me of Bob Dyland Blowing in the Wind and the chorus sounds like Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road ."Earth Song" is a ballad that incorporates elements of blues, gospel and opera. Though Jackson had previously released socially conscious songs such as "We Are the World", "Man in the Mirror" and "Heal the World", "Earth Song" was his first to overtly discuss the environment and animal welfare. It was accompanied by a lavish music video which was shot in four geographical regions, centered on the destruction and rebirth of Earth.
"Earth Song" reached number one in the UK, where it was the 1995 Christmas number one. It also topped the charts in Germany, Iceland, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland while peaking at number two in France, Ireland, and the Netherlands. Jackson received recognition from various animal and environmental organizations. It was nominated for a Grammy in 1997.[2] In 2011, the song was paired with the poem "Planet Earth" (previously released on Michael Jackson's This Is It, in 2009) and released as a song on the remix album Immortal. - I really wanna know why this got pulled from streaming. Is it because of the fact that the estate wants to reuse songs for anniversary albums? Ex: sunset driver on thriller 40
Why isn't Earth Song on this box set, does anyone know?.
