I don't sing if I don't mean it
I often think of writing something, but don't do so. I am a typical aspiring writer who "thinks" a lot about writing, but actually writes less. There're times, however, when you feel compelled to say something. Today happens to be such a day.
The world is mourning Michael Jackson's sudden death. I have been reading about him, watching his songs and wondering about his immense talent--the God's gift.
It's mesmerising to see him dancing and singing. And I will never forget what he said in an interview given when he was still a kid: "I don't sing a song if I don't mean it." That very much sums up for me the magic of his art.

Dearest Atul,
I was looking up the quote by Michael "I don't sing if I don't mean it" and came across your writing about Michael, dated June 27, 2009. I just wanted to say thank you and that just in the few words you said about Michael Jackson, along with his awesome video, I could tell how much he meant to you personally. I myself am not just a fan, but one who r loves Michael Jackson, from Who's Loving You, to Earth Song, there will never be another like him. He is missed and loved by so many who really knew Michael. His birthday is tomorrow, and there should have been no reason why he couldn't have been here to celebrate with his family and those who love him...Sadly, this will never be.
With love and respect.
