337,000,000 views: this clip of the King of Pop Michael Jackson has now taken on a new meaning

We’ve known this song for a long time, but this is the first time we’ve seen the video – and it’s goosebumps!

Despite all the rumours, gossip and scandals that surrounded Michael Jackson even after his departure, he continues to be a great musician and a true king of pop music.

His songs will be listened to for decades to come, as Michael is a brilliant creator and a master of his craft.

‘Earth Song’ is one of his major hits, which in light of modern disasters and natural calamities sounds more relevant than ever. Michael started working on the song in 1988, during his tour in Austria. The song was originally called ‘What About Us’ – ‘What About Us?’ in Russian.

It took seven years to create the hit, and now we can see that this long and painstaking labour was fully justified. Jackson repeatedly rewrote the vocal parts, leaving the most difficult moments for last. As Michael himself said, during the climax he literally ‘killed’ his voice to convey all the emotions.

Today, ‘Earth Song’ is considered one of the few songs of Michael, which vividly highlights the acute social problems. Jackson touched on poaching, human rights violations and environmental issues.

According to critics, in this song Michael showed himself a true humanist, and his tearing vocals became the embodiment of a desperate attempt to reach out to a selfish and indifferent society, where everyone cares only about himself. And, it must be said, he succeeded.
