Michael Jackson & 4 Artists Who Sang Songs by Extra Terrestrial Inspiration.

These songs are referred to as Music for Matured Minds or MMM’s for short because they have the ability of tickling our faculties of thought, transposing one through realms of intense sensations and reflections of love, pleasure, and excitement. It maybe that these songs are so because they are the intellectual property of talented artist or perhaps, they are craftworks that have been aided by rays of inspiration streaming through the multiverse into our planet. Here is a rundown of our top five;

5. Michael Jackson- Hold me:

Being one of the most influential figures of the 20th Century, the king of pop and a superstar of global reckoning, it is little wonder no one really knew the depth of his heart where this song came from. Michael must have truly been blessed to be at his prime in an age without the advanced social media we now have. His fans across the world only knew him for the side he was so determined to display on stage, his electrifying performances and evergreen songs were neither signals to bother them that this was more than a song but a plea to be held by hands that would never let go. The road from there was long and events that played out proved true. The king of pop held on till he knew, “This is it.” Michael left behind his fears, his love that rang through the corners of the earth at his death and a classic tune to inspire you. Here is Hold on by Michael Jackson.


4. Enya - May it Be:

Such is the power in Enya’s Vocal tone to her soundtrack for Peter Jackson’s 2001 movie, Lord of the Rings. She softly creeps  into the heart of her audience, offering a calm serenity. Co-written by herself and Roma Ryan, a masterpiece of words well balanced with the screen play was born. It is  little wonder why the inspiration to this song is magical. The ease of Enya’s rendition, the intense warning of darkness’ approach and the assurance of hope shows how the duo must have synced their creative faculties to dig within and perhaps reach out to a realm saturated with inspiration. Hence this sensational ballad was well delivered. Give Enya’s May it Be a listen. I’ll advise you to do so leisurely and give it thought while you do. Especially when you are going through some low phase. For when darkness comes, you might be stuck looking for help only to you realize that the light is yours to shine.


3. Sarah McLachlan – Angel:

Is it because the song title is named after a celestial being? It is not the reason why this song is mentioned but to be honest, it does play a part. Angel, written by Sarah McLachlan was inspired by the life of late Jonathan Melvoin, the smashing pumpkins’ touring keyboard player who died of heroin overdose. Sarah’s lyrics searched into the soul of one dealing with issues who for some respite turned to drug misuse to escape his reality. She sang this song like an angel on the piano, capturing an imagination of the deceased as he seeps through the threshold of our world into the hands of an angel carrying  him off to a realm, where he’ll find the comfort he so desired to escape to, over there.


2. Nathaniel Bassey – Book of Life:

Here’s a fictional story from the pioneer of 2017’s largest online worship setting on Instagram, ‘Halleluyah Challenge’. Told with such certainty, it is surely reason to check the source of such inspiration and guess what, it is truly not of this world. As he lays down the verses to the song, Nathaniel sings about the dialogue which took place in the heavenlies of an obviously lost brother to an angelic being. He does it in such a way that it inspires soul searching and a moment to evaluate one’s real-life decisions about the passage into a realm that picks up at the end of our age. One whose entry visa, is a function of ones  faith and the quality of life one led here. Book of Life is a lovely piece that spurs you to relax, reflect and repent.

 

1. Sleeping at Last- Saturn

“When the shadow of the moon passed through United states last August… while most of us could only marvel at the cosmic spectacle… Ryan O’Neal had composed a song about it.”

- Orbitermag.com

With the quote above, here’s our number one culprit of extra-terrestrial inspiration. He has some songs that affirms this. The lyrics and tune to his song titled Saturn to me, is most captivating. From instrumentation to the mysteries that was spoken to him and which he sang off, it is clear that most of Sleeping at Last’s appreciations would be dedicated to the stars of the milky way and its planets. Scouting the internet will show you a wide variety of suggestions from intrigued fans trying to define the song’s source of inspiration. I’ve sure given up on explanations and you may agree with me on this conclusion. Sleeping at Last has the ability to connect with spaces outside our universe and draw inspiration from bodies lightyears away. Expressing them in a vocal yarn finely interwoven with sound, his music is definitely one of a kind.

The year 2020 is just in its second quarter and my word you must admit that plenty has happened already.

LOVE RUNS

LOVE RUNS? what would you do? Our first date was so special that 30minutes seemed to be like 30 exciting years until the 31st minute when she asked a question, the very same one she asked before we agreed to set up this date. The look in her lovely eyes had changed from all the excitement shared to one that searched my inner man, the rays emitted from them caused the red wine to burn in my throat. "Do you Love me?" She asked. Slowly dropping my glass I tried to match her loving gaze and professed my undying love to her. Unconvinced, she giggled softly, I felt it tingle in my heart but her gaze still searched my countenance. "Let me put it this way", she said using the serviette tenderly. "If a big, bad, hungry lion should show up right here, right now, what would you do?" She asked I tried to put up what I thought turned out to be a smirk but when her starry eyes sparkled, I knew I had successfully beamed a smile. Then I reached across the tabl...
