YMCA是Young Men's Christian Association（基督教青年会）的缩写，这首由The Village People（村民）组合的带来的《YMCA》，诞生于上世纪七十年代末。歌曲的节奏欢快而充满活力，看起来和宗教组织有关，但是实际上被众人视为同性恋歌曲。

上了大学，才认真听过他的几首歌。个人喜欢的歌曲是那种让心灵受到洗礼的歌曲，如同Heal The World和We Are The World，即使不知道歌词，那余音绕梁的旋律也让人沉醉其中。当然，自己对Jackson的认识可能就只限于这两首歌，而对King of Pop的理解只限于大家对于他的崇拜。

斯人已逝，魅音犹存。在这光怪陆离的世界里，人如行尸走肉般地活着，此时静静聆听这首Heal The World，未尝又不是一种人性的回归？留下这首歌，仅此纪念MJ！

Heal the world 拯救这世界
Make it a better place 让它变得更美好
For you and for me 为你、为我
And the entire human race 为了全人类
There are people dying 时时刻刻有人离世
If you care neough for the living 如果你真心关怀生者
Make a better place for you and for me 那就为你，为我，创造一个更美好的世界
