Song Dedicated To Michael

28-06-09) Guitarist Jeff Young was in the recording studio putting the final touches on a very special song when he learned the news of Michael Jackson's passing. He decided to dedicate this wonderful song to the King of Pop and wanted very much for the fans to hear it so that we might be comforted.

Here is his dedication along with the lyrics to the song:

Millions will forever remember where they were the day Michael Jackson transcended this world. The fact that I was in a recording studio laying the final guitar solo and preparing to mix the following track with the same man that mixed sister Janet's mega-hit "Black Cat" can be no accident... just as Michael Jackson's unending and unprecedented contributions to the world of music, dance, film & racial unity are no accident.

More than any musician in history, his god given gifts were revealed in ways that reached into our souls with a gloved hand, touching the very core of everything that is humanity. Although the "music world" will forever mourn his passing and suffer the loss of his innate creativity, Michael Jackson - the man and his music are forever "Eternal."

ETERNAL (Sergio Assad, Gregg Analla, Jeff Young)

bring the night
set the stage
dim the lights now
stroke the keys
fire the drums
light a candle
i hear a voice slice the silence around me
it's time again...
cascading colors in lyrical flight
shinning and luminous guardian angel
bow your head to the beat it's caressing
keeping time
cascading currents and vibrating cries
shinning and luminous guardian angel sing
voices eternal
tears flowing - life is so frail

guardian angel sing
the voice is eternal
tears flowing life is so frail
beautiful visions caught in the light of this...

place the mic in the shrine of the spotlight
anticipate
vocalize dreams of both present and past
capture emotion in a life everlasting
face the crowd sing your song for the last time
and nevermore
all of your memories caught in a spark
rhythm and light lead you out of the darkness - sing!

voices eternal
tears flowing life is so frail
guardian angels sing
the voice is eternal
tears flowing - life is so frail
beautiful visions caught in a smile on your face

guardian angels sing
voices eternal
tears flowing - life is so frail

flowing full circle
life never faded away

Thank you, Jeff, for sharing this gift!
