man in the mirror

• ozellikle girisi acisindan cok guzel olan, sozleri dunyadaki kotuluklere ilgi ceken ve iyi seyler yapmaya once aynadaki adamdan basliyorum dedigi, mesajlar barindiran bir michael jackson sarkisi. (evet en sevdigim.)
• bildigim kadariyla bad albumunden olan, michael jackson'in en guzel $arkilarindan biri .. bence de, sonlari superdir .

  i'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
  it's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
  gonna make it right...
  
  as i, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
  this wind is blowin' my mind
  i see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
  who am i, to be blind? pretending not to see their needs
  a summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
  and a one man's soul
  they follow each other on the wind ya' know
  'cause they got nowhere to go
  that's why i want you to know
  
  i'm starting with the man in the mirror
  i'm asking him to change his ways
  and no message could have been any clearer
  if you wanna make the world a better place
  (if you wanna make the world a better place)
  take a look at yourself, and then make a change
  (take a look at yourself, and then make a change)
  (na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)
  
  i've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
  it's time that i realize
  that there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
  could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
  
  a willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
  and a washed-out dream
  (washed-out dream)
  they follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
  cause they got no place to be
  that's why i'm starting with me
  (starting with me!)
  
  i'm starting with the man in the mirror
  (ooh!)
  i'm asking him to change his ways
  (ooh!)
  and no message could have been any clearer
  if you wanna make the world a better place
  (if you wanna make the world a better place)
  take a look at yourself and then make a change
  (take a look at yourself and then make a change)
  
  i'm starting with the man in the mirror
  (ooh!)
  i'm asking him to change his ways
  (change his ways-ooh!)
  and no message could've been any clearer
  if you wanna make the world a better place
  (if you wanna make the world a better place)
  take a look at yourself and then make that...
  (take a look at yourself and then make that...)
  change!
  
  i'm starting with the man in the mirror,
  (man in the mirror-oh yeah!)
  i'm asking him to change his ways
  (better change!)
  no message could have been any clearer
  (if you wanna make the world a better place)
  (take a look at yourself and then make the change)
  (you gotta get it right, while you got the time)
  ('cause when you close your heart)
  you can't close your... your mind!
  (then you close your... mind!)
  that man, that man, that man, that man
  with that man in the mirror
  (man in the mirror, oh yeah!)
  that man, that man, that man
  i'm asking him to change his ways
  (better change!)
  you know... that man
  no message could have been any clearer
  if you wanna make the world a better place
  (if you wanna make the world a better place)
  take a look at yourself and then make a change
  (take a look at yourself and then make a change)
  hoo! hoo! hoo! hoo! hoo!
  na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
  (oh yeah!)
  gonna feel real good now!
  yeah yeah! yeah yeah! yeah yeah!
  na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
  (ooooh...)
  oh no, no no...
  i'm gonna make a change
  it's gonna feel real good!
  come on!
  (change...)
  just lift yourself
  you know
  you've got to stop it. yourself!
  (yeah!-make that change!)
  i've got to make that change, today!
  hoo!
  (man in the mirror)
  you got to
  you got to not let yourself...
  brother...
  hoo!
  (yeah!-make that change!)
  you know-i've got to get that man, that man...
  (man in the mirror)
  you've got to
  you've got to move! come on! come on!
  you got to...
  stand up! stand up! stand up!
  (yeah-make that change)
  stand up and lift yourself, now!
  (man in the mirror)
  hoo! hoo! hoo!
  aaow!
  (yeah-make that change)
  gonna make that change... come on!
  (man in the mirror)
  you know it!
  you know it!
  you know it!
  you know...
  (change...)

• bir michael jackson ilk ucu cikartacak olsam, kesinlikle remember the time ve rock with you'nun yaninda yer alacak muhtesem sarki.. bu arada, kucuk cocuklara sarkintilik soylentilerinin ardindan bu sarkida yer alan "i see the kids in the streets, with not enough to eat" dizesi aklima takilip duruyor...
• savatage'ın 2001 çıkışlı poets and madmen konsept albümünde bulunan, düşündüren parça...
  
  there's a man that i used to know
  and sometimes he still visits with me
  when it's late and the alcohol's glow
  is nearly gone
  and it's time to awaken
  
  and he looks and he laughs at the sight
  and he asks what has happened to me
  and i blame it all on the lights
  but he smiles and says i'm mistaken
  
  and there is no use in disguising
  what the eye can so clearly see
  that i've spent my whole life denying
  that the man in the mirror is me
  
  give me one second chance
  give me one final dance
  give me one magic line
  take a minute off my time
  
  give me one final bow
  if the moment allows
  while he stares at the scars
  saying just who you are
  just who you are
  just who you are
  
  in a child like illusion of life
  he imagined the things yet to be
  but they all disappeared on this night
  carry on among the foresaken
  
  for there is no use in denying
  what the eye can so clearly see
  that one day i too will be dying
  and the man in the mirror agrees
  
  give me one second chance
  give me one final dance
  give me one magic line
  take a minute off my time
  
  give me one final bow
  if the moment allows
  while he stares at the scars
  saying just who you are
  just who you are
  just who you are
  just who you ...
• asena tarafından ırzına geçilen şarkı..
• mjackson'un en sevdiğim şarkılarından birisi, ama asena söyledi ya. michael da kimmiş.
• malesef asena'nin dun gece televizyon makinasinde bir daha "yaptigi" sarki.
• -and no message could've been any clearer- kismi dogrudur.
• savatage'ın muthis rifflere sahip parcası...morphine child'la birlikte poets and madman'ın gozbebeklerinden...
• michael jackson'ın en güzel parçalarındandır.giderek yükselişiyle insanı gaza getirir,sonlara doğru ise gospel korosu insani alır götürür bir süre geri getirmez :)
