Michael Jackson’s Earth Song
Michael Jackson in 1995 Michael Jackson sang in his best known environmentally conscious track “Earth Song”: “Did you ever stop to notice, the crying Earth, the weeping shores? What have we done to the world?”
This kind of ecological concern from artists was not common at that time (1995). The brilliant video - which was derided by some of the pop press as “hard to understand” featured shots of wildlife and Jackson walking through a burned out landscape.
In 2007 the pop superstar told Ebony Magazine he was “very concerned” about the “international global warming phenomenon.”
“I wish they would have gotten people’s interest sooner. But it’s never too late…..It’s been described as a runaway train; if we don’t stop it, we’ll never get it (our world) back. So we have to fix it, now.
“That’s what I was trying to do with Earth Song, Heal The World, We Are The World - writing those songs to open up people’s consciousness. I wish people would listen to every word.”
