    Lyrics
    You are far
    When I could have been your star
    You listened to people
    Who scared you to death, and from my heart
    Strange that you were strong enough
    To even make a start
    But you'll never find
    Peace of mind,
    'Til you listen to your heart
    People
    You can never change the way they feel
    Better let them do just what they will
    For they will
    If you let them
    Steal your heart from you
    People
    Will always make a lover feel a fool
    But you knew I loved you
    We could have shown them all
    We should have seen love through
    Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
    Covered me with kisses and lies
    So goodbye
    But please don't take my heart

      This song was the fifth or six single to be released from his Faith album. I believe it reached number one in the adult contemporary charts and eight in the hot billboard 100s. At the time it was definitely very unique for what was being played out on Pop radio. This song is pure genius and sounds just as fresh today as the day it was released. I instantly loved this song when it came out because it showed a whole other side of George’s immense talent.

      George's voice was perfection, like writers and singers of the 40's. I wasn't here then, but grew up loving the music. This song showcases his brilliant writing and singing technique, a tribute to the visionaries who created the lasting genre of jazz, almost untouched to this day. I've been listening to Symphonica a bit, and it's all there. I think if he had lived, this song would've been George's rebirth, writing and singing great jazz music, with a unique style only he could create. Miss him so.

But I seldom think my voice is dead on, although I refuse to use auto-tune. A one-take wonder is VERY rare. There's always something to fix. But THIS song... Kissing a fool? I've tried singing it, I can sort of approximate it.... but it's HARD. There's a LOT of sudden flights and dives. I can't believe he just one-taked it. There's no way. That's impossible. And yet, having listening to so much of his other music... I actually believe it. George Michael was a musical genius. The world really lost someone special that day. I'm convinced fame killed him., as it often kills the geniuses.

Won money at the casino and was able to buy a good ticket to see him when he came back 17 years later. It was even got better. My seat ended up being behind the projector used for his light show. They had set up a special section on the floor for those of us that ended up having our view blocked by the projector. Jackpot again! Floor seats! He was fabulous! It was a fun concert. He died eight years later never to return to visit us.

      Early on in his life he talked about this song. He said that he wrote the entire song on a plane ride. He wrote it start to finish including all the melodies and instrumental parts. He kept the song in his head for two years before he actually recorded it. He talks about how he never wrote in a traditional way. He wrote in his head first and if the song stayed in his head for a long time he knew it was meant to be recorded. He was a genius and magical songwriter. I can't imagine there will ever be another George Michael again. Many have tried emulate him but they can't come close.

George had the most beautiful velvety powerful voice, with also an incredible range. But, I think what George possessed was in the delivery of his songs He had a vulnerability passion and ability to make you feel to the depth of your soul with his voice and his interpretation. In my opinion that is incredibly moving and for me is the best. My all time favorite singer song writer!

I do think that he wasn't quite as recognized for his singing as much as he should have been especially after the group disbanded, then the public realizing he was gay, the issue with drugs, and the sex scandal. I think a lot of those situations overshadowed his career. Just like people still feel Prince was underrated as a singer AND a guitarist. Hell, even Boy George is an awesome singer. I'm basically saying George Michael should get more props. ^_^

      Yes forsure..i get what u mean now..and i agree he had an amazing voice..as good as any male singer ever in my opinion😁😁and you know above anything he was actually a really really genuine guy who gave loads n loads to charity and those in need..he was so humble that most of the time when he gave away money he didnt want people to know he was the one behind the generosity..a bit like a secret santa..such a sad lost but we have loads of songs to keep his memory alive..r.i.p george😍😍😍😍
