AKA William music contributor, Pork, is back with his weekly post bringing you the best of this week’s new music releases.
There’s no list today. The only reason to enter a record store or visit iTunes is if you’re looking to bulk up your Michael Jackson catalog. If, like me, you already own everything he’s done . . . plus the remixes . . . and the demos . . . and the acappellas . . . and the outtakes . . . and the live versions . . . and the covers . . . then today should be spent witnessing the Memorial.
My heart will be forever heavier whenever my mind travels into this sadness, but all of the rest of me will never escape the bliss and weightlessness that is possible through experiencing his magic.

“Gone Too Soon” by Michael Jackson
Like a comet
Blazing ‘cross the evening sky
Gone too soonLike a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soonShiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one nightLike the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soonLike a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soonLike a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soonBorn to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one nightLike a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soonGone too soon.
