Michael Jackson: Gone Too Soon Meaning

Song Released: 1993

Gone Too Soon Lyrics

Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon

Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon

Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy...

   This song Michael had written for his late friend Ryan White that had died earlier that year. Ryan White suffered from AIDS from blood transfusion. He had lived in Kokomo Indiana actually I live there that why I am so educated on this topic. Michael Jackson Elton John and Donald Trump all three came to Indiana to help him for AIDS was considered dirty and disgusting in the eighties and people hated Ryan even though he was just a boy and they help him and when he died at the age of 18 in 1991. Michael felt the need to visit his mother to check on her then Michael decided to go out and drive the car that he had bought Ryan years previously and he turned on the Radio and Man in the Mirror blasted and he cried and said my song was the last that he listened to because it was the album bad and he then wrote a song for Ryan because, he felt a connection if you don't believe me look up the music video on youtube

   A truly beautiful song:) Michael sings with the sweetness of an angel. The way he captures the essence of their friendship with words shows the amazing talent he possessed and the blessing of God upon his life. You don't just learn to sing like this...it comes from your soul...God-given. There is no other word for that kind of love... but amazing.

   I like the song Gone Too Soon. It was written after Michael's friend Ryan White died of AIDS in 1990 at the age of 18. Michael felt devastated, but realized that Ryan was a good friend to him. So, remembering the good times he had shared with Ryan, Michael then wrote the song Gone Too Soon in memory of his friend.
   
   "Ryan is gone, and just like anyone who's lost a loved one to AIDS, I miss him deeply and constantly. He is gone, but I want his life to have meaning beyond his passing."
   
   Kudos to Michael for writing such a bittersweet and yet beautiful song, and in loving memory of a friend he knew very well in life, too. :)
