    It's not about pedophilia guys. When a woman finds a man that can be ALL she needs because she did not have a true Father figure in her life, this man takes that place in her life. Unfortunately, there are a LOT of people searching for that unconditional love they never had. It's not meant to be "weird", it's meant to be reassuring for her that she can be ALL she can be because he will be everything she needs - emotionally. 💗

      It's still creepy. It makes me think of my niece, who was s*xually abused by her stepfather from the ages of 12-14 and then ended up getting pregnant at 17 by a guy 4 years older than her who she described as being like a father figure to her. Although I found the lyrics to this creepy long before that.

      In his documentary Freedom he tells that at that Live-Aid performance he recently found out that his lover also had HIV. So George Michael had to sing about having someone to love, on a tribute to someone who died of HIV-Aids, while having just found out his lover is probably going to die soon.......

    One of the calling cards of a great songwriter, a talent George Michael possessed in spades, is having the ability to pen lyrics that are nuanced. The song “Father Figure” is a declaration of unconditional love and a promise that I’ll be all you need if you’ll just open your heart to me. The title and lyric ‘father figure’ isn’t meant to be taken literally, it’s a metaphor. “Father Figure” is an absolute classic!

      I really feel that the current generation is not exposed to enough poetry in lyrics. Musicians of the past seemed to possess different writing chops. it just was a different era for song writing. Most of those lyrics are not to be taken literally. There is a meaning behind all of it. George wrote about an all consuming love . Nothing in appropriate. The li ne, "put your tiny hand in mine" is just a woman's delicate smaller hand in a man's. George was a exceptional songwriter. He won several song writing awards and was honored by being the most played artist for 20 years straight on British radio.There's a reason this man has sold over a hundred and twenty million records.

    Amber for Female Friday check out Aretha Franklin’s duet with George Michael “I Knew You Were Waiting”. For J looking for an uptempo track, George’s massive hits “Freedom 90”, “Fastlove” or his first big hit as a solo artist “Faith”. He covered Elton John’s track “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me” and Elton was in the live concert video version of the song duetting with George while playing piano. My goodness, you guys are at the beginning of diving into George’s catalog! His collab with Queen on “Somebody to Love” is amazing and “Monkey” is pure 80s dance/pop at its best. I was fortunate to see him in concert twice at Madison Square Garden and the shows were a blend of pop, R&B, soul and dance. Such energy and talent! The crowds were wild for him and after dancing my tush off all night, I was thoroughly spent by the end of those shows!!😅❤😊

    When he says, "the eyes of a child", he means, without the cynicism of an adult who is expecting to be lied to and hurt.
    Also, "sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime", you'd have to remember that at this point, he wasn't out as gay, which is still a crime in some places, sadly.

    You don’t do enough George Michael. His last album - Patience - was priceless. Listen to Precious Box - probably my favourite song of his. It’s a long track but is an extremely poignant and haunting story of isolation, loneliness and shallow and rampant excess. This is one of George’s most up tempo and danceable tracks but that belies the song’s darkness and melancholy. It’s very frothy but deep. It’s very 2000s, with its house and electronic vibe. John and Elvis are Dead is a wonderful tribute track, along with Amazing.

      He's an amazing talent, but he did write I Want Your Sex, Freeek, and other highly sexual songs both as part of Wham! and as a solo artist.
