That’s a lyrical snippet from a song taken from Trojan Souls, an as-yet-unreleased George Michael album.
The song was co-written by Sir Elton John in the 1990s but has never surfaced in any official capacity until now.
How about we take this to the next level?

It’s a beautiful song and George sounds fantastic on the track. Hopefully this unreleased album will be released. BUT – it was uploaded November 24th – not sure why the media is making it sound like he uploaded it posthumously.

A hauntingly perfect song to hear right now.I am shocked that it’s been hiding . It’s simply beautiful.I am crying and may not be able to stop .I hope that it is available to purchase ,and we can still support his love in some way. George was the best singer of my generation,and I loved Michael too.Perhaps ,the best way to put it is they were the beautiful center that could have healed an immense racial divide. Both men were of genius talent ,and yet they were different. Michael was a little older ,so he was the best of his group ,and then George . How do you choose between those voices? George was the best Gay singer of our generation,and that is saying a lot. Michael was the best family man singer,and he was obsessed with being a father too.So, I always thought it was strange that George took the last name Michael . Perhaps it was because his voice made listeners think about Michael .I wish he was known by that impossible to remember Greek name. Just think what that would have done for Greeks everywhere.

Rarely do I listen to these artists and say yeah, that’s something I want to download and listen at home or driving. Well, this is one of those moments. This song is a great tribute to him.

@Music908: You’re so right. I can’t say he’s the best of our generation but definitely the best that happened to be gay.

A very haunting and mesmerising tune.
Such a shame to be robbed of such a good artist.

GM had such a soulful voice and was truly a “musician’s musician”. He wrote, produced and arranged all of his songs and played multiple instruments (self-taught on many of them)
I saw him in concert in L.A. in 2008 and his voice is even better live than on record. I will miss the music and miss him.

When I was 14 to 19 years old from 1984 to 1989, I liked listening to Wham! In 2016, I listen to Ariana Grande, Meghan Elizabeth Trainor, Justin Drew Bieber, Zayn Javad Malik, Fifth Harmony, Taylor Allison Swift etc. as music is best when it comes out first time.
No, George Michael or Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou didn’t do jail time but community service for soliciting undercover cop in bathroom. But chances are that he had sex in public bathrooms before, only that time he got caught soliciting undercover cop. Public bathrooms aren’t the place for sex. If you want to have sex (straight, lesbian or gay) with a knowing & willing adult, then do that in your own house. With could George Michael or Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou been a victim of gay pedophiles as a boy? We don’t know his childhood but if it’s true, then it wouldn’t be surprising.
I have thought about this & don’t think any1 can rebut conclusion that childhood sex abuse victims of gay/lesbian pedophiles have more risk of turning out gay/lesbian by copying the conduct they learned because think you know that conduct incl. sexual conduct can be learned. Think you know it is possible for people who are victims of same sex molestation (such as victims of gay pedophile priests) to copy this sexual conduct and do gay conduct in adulthood incl. turn out to be gay pedophiles.

@abnerb: If gay sex with an adult is what causes kids to become gay, then why doesn’t having heterosexual sex with an adult cure it? Your argument only explains why a person would develop an interest in gay sex, but ignores the question of why gay people don’t have any interest in the opposite sex, and you don’t end up a gay without BOTH. If we do the math your way, we’d only get bisexuals.

@Vortece: @alan_mcneil:
It’s possible homosexuality could be result of birth defect, but there are more than 1 reason why a conduct happens. Some people get emphysema because they have bad genes and some people get emphysema because they smoke tobacco. Not all smokers get emphysema, but if you smoke, you raise your risks of emphysema. Same thing with homosexuality and lesbianism-if it’s true there’s a birth defect, then some people do gay and lesbian activities due to this birth defect and some people do gay/lesbian conduct because of reacting to childhood sex abuse. Any conduct, including sexual conduct can be learned.
Never have I heard straights blame childhood sex abuse for reasons a man has sex with a woman and fathers children with her. Yet sometimes have heard gays and lesbians say childhood sex abuse is reason they do same sex behaviors. Sex abuse in youth can cause people to behave in ways. It’s not controversial to talk of nightmares, suicides, bed wetting often a result of sex abuse in youth. Yet when 1 talks gay/lesbian behaviors in adulthood because they learned this sexual behavior by being repeatedly molested, then gays with politically safe psychologists complain. The politically correct psychologists who deny this know it’s possible for a boy to turn out gay as a result of childhood sex abuse, yet deny what they know is true. Of course, not all who are sexually abused in youth become gay in adulthood-but the risk is higher.

@Vortece: @alan_mcneil:
I don’t care about gay/lesbian marriage & though information war has been lost, truth must still be said. With gay/lesbian conduct by adults, while I don’t believe in making it a crime by consenting adults, I do believe it’s best to find a cure for homosexual/lesbian conduct just as it’s best to find cure for tobacco use-also a legal product. If homosexual/lesbian conduct and tobacco use were to disappear eventually, then it’s fine with me and I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. I believe in abolishing sex change mutilations.
Think posters who call me ignorant, idiot know that sex abuse esp. repeated childhood sex abuse raises risk of a kid turning out gay/lesbian by copying conduct they learned from being ruined by gay and lesbian pedophiles, but they can’t rebut other than get offended. You can call me ignorant,idiot, etc., but there’s nothing any1 can say to change my mind on this. People who deny truth between sex abuse and later homosexuality/lesbianism are dishonest.
