Lyrics
These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses
The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much
But we'll take our chances
Because god's stopped keeping score
I guess somewhere along the way
He must have let us alt out to play
Turned his back and all god's children
Crept out the back door
And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
Well maybe we should all be praying for time
These are the days of the empty hand
Oh you hold on to what you can
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year
This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find that what was over there is over here
So you scream from behind your door
Say "what's mine is mine and not yours"
I may have too much but i'll take my chances
Because god's stopped keeping score
And you cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That he can't come back
Beacuse he has no children to come back for
It's hard to love there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
So maybe we should all be praying for time

This is how many people miss George Michael in 2024!
Right here bro
Count me in.
Long live Saint George 🙏 ❤
@@DingoDin Je l'aime énormément ❤👼
Me too.
If you listen this legend in 2024 press like....
amazing song and insight from 1990 and now its 2024
For "YOG" George Michael.
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever.
Amen.
What a genius this man was. This song was released almost 25 years ago. Yet the lyrics are playing out in real time today. Men and women are lovers of themselves. “The rich declare themselves poor,and most of us aren’t sure if we have too much. But, we’ll take the chance cause Gods stopped keeping score”. You cling to the things that they sold you, did you cover your eyes when they told you that he can’t comeback, cause he has no children to come back for”. Such relevant lyrics. We have turned our backs on God and we have no one to thank but ourselves. George was right. Maybe we should all be praying for time. George’s time was cut short and he was taken too soon. Don’t make the same mistake. Thanks for the music, George. You are sorely missed.
34 years ago...
🎉🎉🎉❤❤
@@chelleglenney156 that is correct! I will be 34 this year. My mom bought this cassette tape on the way home from the hospital after I was born. This is literally the first album I ever heard, and it is also my favorite :)
@@trevorjennings721
🤣🤣🤣
I immediately thought to myself that the song could never be from 2000, because the music had already gone downhill.
This song came out in 1989 but ironically it's more relevant today in 2023 with humanity in decline.
Exactly, and now 2024.
I was thinking The SAME THING! #FREAKINGTIMEMACHINES I swear.
This song is prophetic, Times almost up ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️, Listen to the lyrics
You sure about that, he see it and sung it becuase it was relevant then. Truth is it always been relevant.
@@robryan2875 It has. It's just more apparent now. A lot of us start to see it once we reach adulthood.
One of The Greatest Song Ever Written in the history of Music...
I agree with you
Very much agree.
Every Time I listen to this song, I find something so amazing and always new and fresh like this song never ending...
So heavy.The lyrics prescient for the times that we find ourselves in. I miss George ❤️
Indeed.
My God, how much emotion went into this song?! He put everything into it. Those lines: "He can't come back, cause he has no children to come back for" and 'Charity is a coat you wear twice a year" - utterly heartbreaking. A mark of a top quality singer-songwriter. RIP
SeaMe Only your faith guarantees that.
This is what a real Man sounds like....feeling pain through others suffering...Lesson to us all
@@1daughter1son crystal atheist right.....
If the current world we live in was to be depicted in a song, this is that song
So true.....
He predicted the future. RIP mate. Legends never die 1963 - 2016. Song is a creative masterpiece.
WWG1WGA!
Hi George!❤
I guess the message is timeless
It is because most people don't know how to love anymore or show empathy.@@user-cs8fi7jc1d
he was killed like prince
"That he can't come back 'cause he has no children to come back for..." wow...😢😢
It's true
@@Super1866 agreed
Yep. How true was that!!?
This song is more relevant than ever before.
That's what I'm saying!!! 😱
Hanging on to love when there is no hope to speak of
I soooo agree... posted and said the same thing. I chose the words one versus live.. to bring the point home!
Stay safe, kind and positive. Miss you George! What a voice.
He was ahead of his time
Wow. This is what I'm listening to and I see the world today. These lyrics are so relevant today.
Damn, why does this song just keep getting more relevant.
☝️👁💥💥💥💪💪💪💯💯💯💯
Cause he knew...
He was a Genius.....a beautiful genius❤
Wake up everybody!! people are losing faith,🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless 😊❤
“In The New York Times September 16, 1990, George Michael is quoted regarding this song: "No event inspired the song. It's my way of trying to figure out why it's so hard for people to be good to each other. I believe the problem is conditional as opposed to being something inherent in mankind. The media has affected everybody's consciousness much more than most people will admit. Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We're taught that you have to grab what you can before it's gone. It's almost as if there isn't time for compassion."
It’s 2022 and this song is so powerful and relevant. Impeccable lyrics and an amazing masterpiece.This song just broke my heart. 😭💔
RIP GM
1963-2016.
He was so young and had this vision, he understood everything! He tried to express in his song these things, like it was written for 2022! Thank you God for George!
Wow...
I used to listen to this CD in high school. I knew how powerful it was even back then. ~Deep~
Que en paz Descanse😢😢😢😢😢
OMG I still can't believe we took this kind of music for granted. What were we thinking? It's genius, pure and utter genius.❤
Jenny, i never took George his music for granted. Been a fan from his early days and will be a fan til my dying day😊
This song reflects the world we are living in now
This is very John Lennon influenced
@@jandevries1239round of applause for you 👏 🙄
Never expected pop music to degenerate as it’s done over the past couple of decades. Some notable exceptions of course, but overall banal trash.
"He can't come back 'cause he has no children....to come back for." That line hits me in the gut every freaking time.
I wish people wrote songs like this today, and I really wish people would listen to the words of songs like this.
That is easier said than done tbf. Songs like this only come round once a generation
Most of the great songwriters are dead.
Mike Scott is probably the best chance we have left
Rich and the poor.
@@HALFSQUASHED I TOTALLY agree with the sentiment, but there are some considerations to be had. USA for Africa's - We are the World (1985), Prince's - Sign o' the Times (1987), this song [George Michael's - Praying for Time (1990)], Michael Jackson's - Heal the World (1992), and Judy Kuhn's - Colors of the Wind (1995 - from the Pocahontas OST) were all recorded in the same 10 year span, and there are several others. There are quite a few in each area, including the modern era, but they are, indeed, far and few between and growing more scarce. There are plenty of talented writers today, (e.g. Adele, John Legend, even Justin Beiber with songs like "Intentions"), and a lot of independent artists still write highly artistic songs with important lyrics. A big part of it is that the blockbuster hit record has become more subject to the will of corporate financial interest, while more meaningful music is more sparsely distributed across isolated niches, vis-à-vis Anderson's Long Tail. But fear not, there's still hope my friend!
@@Settii I will admit to being more impressed with Bieber's music/lyrics/videos in the last couple of years than I ever thought I would be. Lonely and Holy both tell a heart felt story instead of just being bubble gum pop.
I agree. I tried getting my daughter to listen to this song because usually she loves my song choices. But I could tell she wasn’t listening. Hearing yes. But listening.
But then she regularly hears songs but does not pay attention to lyrics.
The rich declare themselves poor. Ain’t that the truth these days. That line is truly prophetic.
I don’t get it.
50 cent did that when he was being sued. They hide their millions so it cant be touched. Declare themselves bankrupt. So this song is literally about 50 cent.
C’est tellement vrai 😢
....to Avoid and to Evade Taxes
This song is so underrated.
One of the most beautiful songs he ever wrote. The world lost a beautiful human being.
this song is so relevant even today
It wasn't underated, it reached the number one spot in 1990 without even have visuals only the lyrics, but they were powerful and meaningful that they didn't even needed that
This was not an " underrated " song , this is top flight George Michael .
I agree, a beautiful, kind soul with one of the most beautiful romantic voices in the world!
He was a genius taken too soon xxxx
so true. This song is amazing and he was amazing.
George Michael was a master of his craft and this is one of the greatest songs ever written
I've said it once, I'll say it again: this man was a lyrical genius, with the purest of voices to match.
I'd be honored if some George Michael fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal RUclips performances of PRAYING FOR TIME and MOTHERS PRIDE in tribute to 2 of George's most underrated songs. Live acoustic with no digital editing. WE MISS YOU GEORGE! Peace & stay safe.
The words of this song become more pertinent with every passing day . An absolute masterpiece.
How about now…?
It’s February 22, 2022 and Canada just became a dictatorship to be ruled by a petulant man-child. With biden to follow suit very soon.
@@alitlweird how about today February 24th 2022 when Putin has declared war on the Ukraine and China has his back. Hitler didn't have nukes at the ready like this Maniac does
A haunting song and every time we ignore injustice we are culpable
It reminds me of the celebrities of today declaring themselves poor, waving their hands around widely trying to get attention. It always sounds like they've declared themselves victims while the real victims go unnoticed. That's how I see it.
Not really
In The New York Times September 16, 1990, George Michael is quoted regarding this song: "No event inspired the song. It's my way of trying to figure out why it's so hard for people to be good to each other. I believe the problem is conditional as opposed to being something inherent in mankind. The media has affected everybody's consciousness much more than most people will admit. Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We're taught that you have to grab what you can before it's gone. It's almost as if there isn't time for compassion."
Pacific Mind then again, one must wonder who owns the media?
I wanted to copy and paste this quote, nice one Pacific mind xxx
Excellent and thank you so much for bringing the meaning of the song to my attention.
Never a truer word written.. rip
OUCH!
One of the best songs of the century
If this was released today it would go in straight to number 1!
They should totally start playing on the radio again rn
Was this George’s message for us today? It hits harder than ever.
Wake up Jose, world haven't changed since this lyrics... And if the world has changed it has changed for the worse.
Star Wolf agreed! but wake up? i wish i was sleeping
He truly was a visionary
Too right it is
@@RoueArzhur unfortunately what you say is true.
"hanging on to hope...when there is no hope to speak of" damn that lyric gets me every time, and it gets truer every day
your profile pic looks like its from Dungeons and Dragons.
This song will never become old, it will always be relevant ❤
All gods children crept out the backdoor.
George knew it all to well that humanity left God a long time ago.
One of the best written and performed songs ever - as relevant today as when it was written.
I'd be honored if some George Michael fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal RUclips performances of PRAYING FOR TIME ruclips.net/video/PhatBtQB7UE/видео.html and MOTHERS PRIDE in tribute to 2 of George's most underrated songs. Live acoustic with no digital editing. WE MISS YOU GEORGE! Peace & stay safe.
First time Listen. What a beautiful song.
@@willritter4076 Nice
Indeed Gillian
maybe even more relevant today than when it was written.
How visionary does this seem now?
Very much so.
Right!!
George wrote many songs but this is the one that hits home and will forever stay with you and touch that center that has you questioning everything you thought you knew as a human being. Still gives me chills with tears in my eyes. We miss his presence oh so much. ❤
So true. This song truly reflects the man that was George Michael. Caring, compassionate and selfless. the World is a poorer place without him.
definitely.
❤
The lyrics are a masterpiece.
I wanted to express my feelings and then I saw your comment. ❤
This is the anthem for 2023!
He warned us... let's try harder to transform the world as Angels like George and Michael Jackson are still guiding us with their deep poetry and masterful melodies. Thank you, George... they were both too good for this world. 😇💕
Hello Pretty, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
The greatest artist ever, along with Michael Jackson,God used them with their beautiful voices,and songs people are losing faith!!!! Wake up to much hate.not enough Love and kindness it's Christmas 🎄 2023 . stay safe and show kindness!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😊⛄
George Michael, in my opinion, is thee best vocalist, live performer and song writer in my 50 years on this planet. What a shame that so many concentrated on his personal life when the joy he brought to the world stared them right in the face. You did good George.
Robert Acquarulo Great vocalist yes, as a performer he had nothing There can be only one Freddie Mercury!
@@guillermohernandez2842 Idk, Freddie imo is better but George Michael still is just as amazing. It's the fact that Freddie was in a band and George wasn't imo. He wrote everything by himself, hence less hits than Queen.
I still believe his live performance of Somebody To Love was the best of that song, ever. Even one of the best queen song performances, if not the best...
@@guillermohernandez2842, of course I would have to respectfully disagree. George was a definite triple threat, good looks, excellent vocals both in the studio and live as we as a gifted dancer/performer which he got from his mom. With that being said, Freddy and Queen were exceptional as well. Happy Holidays to all you GM fans.

It’s Christmas time, and it’s George Michael time. This dude is one of those artists you don’t realize how important they were until they’re gone. God, what an unparalleled talent he was. Rest in Paradise my man, you’re so so missed.
i don't like Christmas anymore ❤️❤️
You're correct about not realizing their importance until they're gone.
INXS's Michael Hutchence is another one of those lyrical geniuses gone to soon. His words have kept me from going down the rabbit hole more than once. Thank you, MH ✌& ❤
yes!
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔✌🌈❤
This is George Michael will...
Listen well
Genius. We love you George ❤
DAMN! WAS GEORGE NOSTRADAMUS OR WHAT! HOW PROLIFIC! ❤❤❤
George Michael Is One Of The Greatest Songwriters In Music History.
This Is His Masterpiece. 👈
Brilliant men.George Michael.for ever🇦🇷
😳no really dumbo
Why?
Why are you gone? You had so much more to sing about! Your heart broke on us and you were only 53 years old!
This song is his greatest legacy. His magnum opus. 😞
Bravo George! 👏
Maybe we should all be praying for time!!it's true!!
Times almost up
If George were alive right now he'd be helping with massive donations just like he did quietly in the past. A true angel.
This song needs to be released at Christmas for charity for those who need it.
Yeah, right there, simply beautiful song and beautiful man, George you really were loved so much xxxx
He paid £70k to save a lake next to my bosses house from being filled in,he rang him as he was the chair of the committee....my boss hung up on him twice before believing it was George.he gave the cash under the condition it was secret and the cheque came from a different name which hangs on his wall in his office to this day and they won the legal fight.he regularly spoke to George for years up until his death and he says he was a amazing humble guy
a fictitious angel is nothing to aspire to, how dare you
There was the story, after his death, that he had donated money for a couple to have a child through IVF. He asked them to keep it a secret which they done, until he died
Why him? We love you, George. It takes a lot for me to mourn a celebrity, but he is one.
Jean Holleman same here
My husband gave me the news...he said, "I want to tell you before you see it online"...George Michael will always be my favorite. He was such an amazing vocalist. God rest his soul.
God hates us all...he just chose George as his latest victim
@gusbaker4u: You are quite wrong about that statement. God sent His only begotten Son, *Jesus* to *die* for you. And He has waited patiently for you to turn to Him, for however long, He has now.
He's full of Grace & Mercy. All one needs to do, is *ask* for it.
Pretty simple, to get *Everlasting Life* w/Him.
Not hateful, *at all*.
You have Him mixed up with *man*. Now, there's a *hateful* crop.
God made man hateful in his own evil appearance, and openly regrets making mankind in Genesis...he is *anything* but good.
All God's Children Crept Out The Backdoor.! 🙏🤑
Profound words❤
Possibly the best song ever written. George's Imagine moment.
I think we forget how many masterpieces hes composed.I heard this on a film the other day and I've been playing it ever since .Its in Last Christmas film 🥰
Very well put.
Well said
No, he himself disagreed with the comparison, saying PFT was much more negative. They are in fact very different, pretty uncomparable if not standing at opposite sides.
@@drewgab3172 It’s an imagine moment whether that’s pejorative or ameliorative. It’s still social commentary and has the same if not more impact than imagine. The symbolism of hope can be displayed in the line “maybe we are all just praying for time”.
The lyrics are so apt for the world right now
Right now? ALWAYS! 😉
Those lyrics are timeless
Yes very true
Even more so now.
That's for SURE!!!
If only there were more artists that had this man's emotional intelligence to write such powerful and emotive lyrics. Sadly they seem to care only about money and social status.
I miss George Michael he was a true star donating so much anonymously and I’m sure he’s in heaven now chillin with Prince and Michael.
I am praying for "more" time with him. A piece of my life died today...so this is how the Elvis fans felt. I cried...hard. Goodnight GEORGE. 😳
This song is so powerful that it hurts.
Wow.
Pure masterpiece
Absolute genius, my dear.
I know 😭
I agree!
It truly is!
So well put. Agreed! It is a perfect timeless song for now - esp in these Covid times.
God used him and his fame to get his message across to us.❤
I totally agree with you and said the same thing on a comment. It's more artists do the same thing, it says thinking about making money!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Can’t explain how much his music means to me.
These might be among the 20 greatest lyrics ever written for a pop song.
absolutely. not fond of most of his music, but this is genius.
Incredible piece of music. Sad sad loss. I was so looking forward to new material. Alas it's not to be. RIP. :(
This song should be called 'Predicting The Future'.
Aktueller denn je. 1991 hab ich das Album mit Wörterbuch übersetzt. Was für ein toller Song, der unsere Gesellschaft widerspiegelt! Danke George. Musik für die Ewigkeit.
One of the most beautiful songs he ever wrote. The world lost a beautiful human being.
llgrannis complety truth!
So true
Verdad
True...!!
This song is as like my soul provider...
It's hard to love
When there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak off...
Simply brilliant
Just brilliant and fantastic ❣❣❣
Really
What a song...what a man...we miss you alot George.
Still listening and crying like a baby in 2023. I was a junior in high school when this song came out.
Hello Veela, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
The "This is the year of the guilty man, your television takes a stand, and you find that was over there is over here" lyrics stands out to me the most. The media has some people so manipulated they don't know how to think critically anymore. The rise of social media just made is worse
Right On Point.
Internet and social media, worst things ever invented 😳😳media as a whole tbh ( Caroline Flack) 😪😪
This song is magnificent and speaks for all these things that happen every day in our planet.Every day we face horrible pictures in our societies.Its unfortunately global phenomeno. I am from Greece. George was so sensitive and political correct to see so early all this situation and had the courage to talk about it with this wonderful- to hear it- song.
This song is more relevant today then ever George, I wonder what you would have to say with all that the world is going through right now! We are all praying for time! Rest in power George, your music lives on and comforts us! Thank you 🙏
Very true, stay safe
@Jody Plaatjies a visionary song from 1990 amazing
Great comment man. I was thinking the same thing. He's probably crying from Heaven..
He will do a lot of charities and maybe a song😥
Tomorrow, October 7th, 2020, is the start of the 30th anniversary of when George Michael took "Praying For Time" to #1 on Billboard Magazine's HOT 100 chart (I remember it well, because I thought no other song @ the time deserved to go to #1 as much as this one), and I think you are very much correct in that assessment Adam, six months later, unfortunately. (It was #1 from October 7th to 13th, 1990). Trying to hold on to hope myself with hopefully Trump's White House and campaign imploding, and Biden showing and reminding us here in the states what it is to be a true caring and patriotic President and with hopeful poll numbers to match. This October is going to be about as nerve racking to me as the one back 30-years ago when this song was #1.
Let us ALL pray for time!
Omggg listening to this song has me crying😭😭😭....Today January 29 2023....This song is so deep and prophetic!!!....He literally is singing about where we are today in society and we need to be praying!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😪😪😪😪😪😪😭😭😭😭....George always had a spiritual side to him and it was very beautiful🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇💔💔
you are not alone! sobbing here!
Long live King George Michael.
All my life he's been producing and performing top notch music, on that special plane, that only a few artists ever reach.
I'd love to have met him, for a moment or two.
What a guy.
I'm pretty sure there are some peoples who did meet him, and have cherished stories.
He just seems like a nice bloke, with incredible talent.
FOUR decades of chart topping music.
Millions of discs sold.
I dunno about his live career.
But what a life....
Missed by many.
May 4th 2023 listening to this song and crying like a baby again😫😫😫😫😥😥😥😥💔💔💔💔....Oh Georgeeee you sang about this happening 30 years ago....How else would you know if God hadn't spoke to you back then??....All of it is unfolding today right before our eye's!!!....And you're right George we need to be praying🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
U r so. Right
@@jackiecleveland4103 cookoo cookoo
As a metalhead, I love the way this song was written, most people remember his more popular songs but this is the song that I'll always remember him by, this is basically George Michael's imagine!
Wow!!! I never looked at it that by but I think your absolutely correct, this is his “imagine”
That's exactly what I thought too, wow.
Same here a metalhead this absolutely brilliant
So true bro
Rock and metal is my music. But I love what this guy did musically and not ashamed to admit it. 🙏
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, the most appropriate song in the world TODAY.
I’m here . I was born on October 27th 🎉1973 I have arrived to the party 🎈 cheers my friends and let’s all prey for time .
One Of The Most Powerful Songs Ever Written.
🖤👍🏾💯
YES !!!!!!!
very powerful
Agree ❤❤
The whole world should listen to this song right now
Amen
Wake up Tuna, world haven't changed since this lyrics... And if the world has changed it has changed for the worse.
Amen! I played this immediately after the long night of Elections and I cried to this beautiful raw truthful song.. 🇺🇸❤️
Agree with you brother
Yup
What a very fitting song for whats happening right now ! Not much to love, there's so much to hate, hanging on to hope when there's no hope to speak off, and the wounded skies above say its much much to late, so maybe we should all be praying for time 😢
I'd be honored if some George Michael fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal RUclips performances of PRAYING FOR TIME and MOTHERS PRIDE in tribute to 2 of George's most underrated songs. Live acoustic with no digital editing. WE MISS YOU GEORGE! Peace & stay safe.
We're running out of time. We need to start praying, some people don't believe what they can't see. Wake up!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍🙂🎵🎵🌎
This is an incredible song, by an incredible artist.
It is so relevant to today in the mad world we are in.
RIP
G Michael.
🙏🙏🙏
This song is so poignant on so many levels, and never been more true than today. I fear the path this country is going and I am also praying for time. RIP George Michael and thank you for giving us this song.
A song before it's time. They should re-release it, b/c they tried to squelch it when it first came out. Too much for them to handle. But certainly not now.
You should fear the path we're on. It's a desperate one & it will not turn out well. Not just for this country. For the world.
*Only Jesus* will save anyone from it.
*Seek* & *Find* His *Truth*.
I just can't believe the amount of power this song has. George was blessed when he created this.
I'd be honored if some George Michael fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PRAYING FOR TIME and MOTHERS PRIDE on my YT channel in tribute to the Listen Without Prejudice album. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. THANK YOU GEORGE. WE MISS YOU.
Brings me to tears every single time
George was created for a purpose.
@@PSJ71 Me too, story repeats. Humankind ... always
justgoodygreen wonderful comment
He's in the arms of the Angels!😢❤
We need George back 💔🕊️
We just need great music like this back!!!!!!!!
Timeless fucking masterpiece! I still cannot believe he's gone!
Super Deep Song . . ."Praying For Time"... This one will hit you and forever be a timeless masterpiece for me. Some will finally understand this message from 26 years ago, but you'd never know. He left his mark with this. You wanna talk about hate and censorship? This song you had to dial a 1-800 number to listen to it, because they would not play it on the radio. He wouldv'e made plenty more music if they weren't so critical of him. Simple, yet brutally honest. I was immediately struck by this song, both on a positive and a negative note,You will live forever. R.I.P. George
I always heard this song, but took the time recently to take in the lyrics. Song is prophetic. Wow!! I believe this song is clearly a message for us to realise that we need to get our act together while we still have time before Jesus comes back.
Less we forget that George was a magnificent songwriter and a good man. Bless his soul.
This sounds more relevant for 2016 than it did for 1990. George Micheal is a profit!
Damien Moye : shut the hell up idiot.
Damien Moye you mean prophet
Lyrically, one of the best songs ever written...in my lowly opinion anyway.
Not lowly, too many people are full of themselves on here.
So true, an honest opinion.
Yes and the most haunting and moving melody and vocal
agree, it takes a special talent to write such deep lyrics in complete sync with melody.
NOT LOWLY AT ALL AND YOUR SO LOVELY 💖
I’m 19, and i started to listen George during Covid. From that moment, I continued to listen all his songs. George was incredible❤️
19? you dont know real music like this
@@Detailguy101for me, this is one of many George’s masterpieces. This was REAL MUSIC
Wham fan since I don’t know when
Excellent 👍👍👍
Money And Greed Has Poisoned Humanity.
That Is Exactly What George Michael Ment When He Wrote This Epic Masterpiece.
A masterpiece... musically, lyrically, vocally. And all three of these were done by George.
When I was in high school my girlfriend played this cd on loop and repeat and I am so thankful for it. My eyes are open. So glad I was exposed with his non pop genius
This man was light years ahead of most humans on this planet today in 2022 even when this song was written. The message is as relevant today as it was then, probably more so. Listen, people or we will not exist. 🙏💜🌎
You're right about that
You're so right
So true
💜
He is a STARSEED 😍
The most forgotten song of all time
This song is one of the greatest songs ever written in the music history with so powerful lyrics and so wonderfull music.......what an incredible timeless and classic the same time masterpiece...R.I.P. George Michael you will never be forgotten you are living through our hearts and through our mind's forever and ever......!!!!!!!!!
Well said I agree
R.I.P. George Michael. :-( His best song to my opinion.
I came here to say the exact same thing. IMO his best song, and somehow his most underappreciated. The message, I suppose, was too raw for mainstream listeners.
I agree that this was his best song....beautifully written and sung. RIP George...we are going to miss you .
I agree. This song gets me every time I hear it.
Every time!
one of his greatest songs!!
I'll miss you George Michael.
Agree, his best song for me too, and lyrics are as actual now as they've ever been!
So shocked and saddened George Michael has died. I have grown up listening to his songs when he was a part of Wham! and when he went solo. His music will live on. The lyrics to this song are timeless and hold relevance today.
A true star who shone bright. Rest in peace George Michael.
And to think, all this dude needed was Jesus. We all do. There’s your hope folks-the only hope.
This song hands down is a pop masterpiece expressing truthfully the downfall of man and humanity bc of selfishness and greed. Bravo George. This is biblical revelation written in song with your golden voice. We miss you. ❤
Instant goosebumps. Lyrics still perfectly accurate 20+ years later. Rest In Peace George Michael.
People pursue college degrees in poetry, studying the dead poets of the past. This song is a modern poetic masterpiece. Thank you, George.
Well said Sir! 👏👌
I 🌈 💜 George Michael. We are gonna make it.
He is so missed. This week has been a little emotional. The Netflix WHAM!, The Prime The Real George Michael and George’s Freedom Uncut. I miss him and his music a lot. 🙏🏼
I have been constantly watching all of these for 2 days now and crying.
This is my favourite George Michael song. The depth of the lyrics is incredible. It could be about the world we live in now. Almost 30 years later.
It is hard to choose best song for an artist like George Michael. This is one of his best, but I really cannot choose one.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I assume that's why he had to leave
This song never fails to touch my heart
It’s a beautiful, but heartbreaking story, that sadly is Still in abundance out there!! 🫣😞
Very meaningful lyrics. Let’s not forget that George was one of the few artists in pop industry to stand up for his beliefs. The music industry tried to ridicule him but thankfully his songs will comfort us for the years to come....
One of a kind , beautiful person & a legend
Oh George,,, wtf was going on ? We where always here for you ,,, the fans never judged you, we loved you for all the mistakes ❤
One of his absolute best. This song came out 26 years ago and every lyric is as true and relevant today as it was then.
