There are 149 people that have given this a "Thumbs down".... They must be soulless people.. How can you not LOVE this man, his voice, his songs, his song writing.... EVERYTHING...... A legend, a genius and most of all.... just a lovely guy... God Rest His Soul....
Haters. George Michael is one of the best songwriters and singers. Ahead of his time. He has left a void in his death. The music that could have been made. RIP
We’re those his then original, older fans? Gen Z and millennials should be loving him. They missed one of the greatest, bcs new music is mostly bad. I was with George “I’m Your Man,” and ever since. During recent heat wave, I watched him do this grand concert, and I loved it. Nothing George Michael has ever done musically or otherwise will make me love him less. About to turn 70, I listen to and love him more than ever. Reply
Your listening to, arguably the greatest male singer songwriter ever. The likes of which we will never see again. Let's thank god we had him in our lives.
I, like many others grew up listening to George Michael. From the very beginning with Wham, I thought that he was a true talent. When he went solo, he didn’t disappoint his fans, in fact he gained even more! One of the very best singer/songwriters of all time. He maybe gone, but he certainly will never be forgotten. He lives on, through his music, thank you George, for being such a beautiful soul, thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us. Rest easy, my dear old friend, until we meet again. 🙏🏽💜.
People can think what they want. George was an honest man and a great man who stood up for what he believed in. I think he was very brave and sweet and he helped many people which means he cared. I love you George.
He said once if you just listen to the lyrics in his music its all there. He put himself in those lyrics. It hurts 💔 to know his pain was right there for all to hear. The song to Kenny (Where I Hope You Are) is just another heart felt masterpiece. What a lovely beautiful man thank you George for leaving your soul's journey behind for those who care to really listen. RIP✝️ Mr. George Michael you were loved❤
I was one of the privileged ones to watch George singing this at the MEN and it was absolutely amazing. I’m devastated that I will not be able to see that again. Such a sad loss of a phenomenal person. RIP George.
I was lucky to have seen him at Earl's Court on his last UK Tour. Actually not lucky but BLESSED. Just 2 hours of perfection. x This opening song live, with the red portrait expanding behind him was truly beautiful. God Bless him. xx
Speechless. Just Speechless. I just found this. Many have already said exactly what I felt when I heard George sing "Through". He was a very deep emotional well. This man sought to find the truth in life. And what he found must have brought him to these depths of despair. I love you, George. We all love you. God Bless George Michael.
One of the best singers ever. His passion and pain was sung thru his beautiful voice when he found love and lost it. I hope he is still singing in heaven.
They say we are the lucky generation loving in this digital age ,but I say we were lucky to see stars like George,Prince ,Michael who we will never see their likes again, may they RIP ,thank u for ur music
The life of a sensitive soul is a constant struggle for survival, bringing courage from the depth of the heart to bear upon difficulties imposed by the heartless. Or indifference from people who lack the ability to understand life on a truly meaningful level. George Michael will always be an inspiration for everyone who lives with meaning and with undiminished love, despite any disapproval from the world.
Thank you for writing that. It’s how I’ve lived most of my life. I’ll be 70 in two weeks, and haven’t been able to get through a day and late night without listening to George Michael (dancing, too). I understand him so much better now. Miss him, his music and his beautiful, kind soul.
This song was used as the conclusion of my local news station's obituary for George when he died. After listening to this whole song again, I couldn't stop crying and tearing up as this man beautifully singing out those feelings of torment, despair, and quiet resilience. For the first time, we get a candid glimpse of George Michael not as a superstar but as a human being going through the final years of his troubled life.....
You nailed it . RIP to this beautiful man! The charity, he gave and gave so much charity. G-d Bless him, you are not about art, you are the art that resonates in our ears🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✡️✝️🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
George Michael is greatest male singer and songwriter ever. The likes of wich we will never see again.He will always be admired and loved by whole his fans in the whole world. R.I.P. Dear George❤
It was like he was saying goodbye to his fans....explaining he just could not go on...there will never be another George...his voice, after years of smoking it was so perfect.
George took prescribed opioids for his back…..when you are addicted to:opioids it is beginning of the end…if you do not kick it. The damage to liver is really bad after years. The drug companies made millions of opioids and they knew long before anyone what was going to happen. You were given prescription for a legitimate reasons and many became addicted.😢
George’s private life doesn’t belong to me - he was right when he said that his private life is not a commodity - the sound, the song, the art of singing and the fantastic radiance make him immortal
His songwriting prowess was second to none, but the fact that George Michael could sing so effortlessly live really shows just how bloody talented he was. The world truly feels a little colder without him. RIP sir.
The best ever in my opinion he was so ahead of everyone and just modest and a great human being but alas thats still not enough some people but he appreciated his fans and never let the jealous people ruin his natural talent god bless you george .
My heart aches for what George Michael went through. He once said that he wished he had armor like other celebrities. Such a sensitive, caring, generous man that in my opinion the media destroyed. It's all right here in his lyrics, as usual, if you take the time to really listen. We love you George.
his high profile outing killed him....the poor man, if i was the cop that night i would have said ...thank you for all of your beautiful music, and let him go...making sure i said ...take care of yourself and get home safely.
@@eaomonn1215 yes more so in the UK than in the US. the media and press just hounded him in the UK after it happened, in the US things like that were a story for a month or so then none really cared anymore, the UK just didn't let it go, ever .
"What kind of fool would remain in this cheap gilded cage" Maybe one day I can listen to these lyrics without tears streaming down my face. Miss you George.
The most underrated masterpiece I have ever heard! Unfortunately he got slot of negative review from his Patience album for not being upbeat enough. But the album was so beautiful & personal like from his soul - especially now being now his final album, perfect gift to his fans.
mare1203 Yes, I have realized that the first time I listened to this incredible song. Written by a musical and lyrical genius with the most phenomenal vocals. 🙏
I relate to these words. When the song starts playing I stop what I'm doing. This is so emotionally powerful that will forever be a timeless masterpiece. Gone but not forgotten George xx
Jesus Christ this man was incredible I'm straight but wow this man was a genius we will never see the likes again and from a straight guy George I love you you helped me through ( excuse the pun) so many phases of my life from the early 80s till now and I sure could do with some guidance right now ìf God exists he would give you back right now I'm waiting.
I'm right there with you. I'm 59 years old, and getting older can be a struggle. I always thought life would get much simpler as i knew and grew to like myself better. But, it doesn't get easier. How does one let go and allow God to take over? This is my question? Is this what you are saying as well? Please elaborate?
Lisa T, I couldn't agree more Lisa. Literally two of my all time favorite singers period. However they were of my generation/a bit older, so that made them perfect to "grow up" listening to them and continue as you're an adult because the both were such amazingly rare talents. They were both on a rare list(this was b4 streaming, downloading, etc) of artists that I would do a "blind buy" on. If it had their name on it and I'd never heard it, didn't matter I'd buy it without a doubt. Because you always knew it was going to be superb. For Whitney, that did sadly change as she seemingly forever changed her voice with smoking and whatever else. It was just at that time a tragedy. I recall my BFF who shares my love of Whitney & George and most other things, bought "Just Whitney" we were sampling and then saw that she covered Debbie Boone's "You Light up my Life". Well, we knew that was something WH would sing the hell of, kept waiting, the song ended we just looked at each other confused, astonished that she did such a "flat, uninspired, unentertaining" cover of a song she should've torn into and left us with that feeling that few people in the history of music ever could. It was the beginning of the end for her, I hoped just her career, but sadly that wasn't to be and now also Bobbi Kris too, just horrific. George passing so suddenly was even more of a shock, though both were just surreal. At a family Christmas open house I came into a room where it was so casually being discussed that GM had just died. They had no idea how much I adored him, his artistry. Then someone says "it must've been AIDS", I had to say just b/c a gay man dies doesn't mean it's HIV/AIDS. It didn't matter what else was said, only the gutted feeling I had that not only someone I found 2b extremely talented, writing, producing, playing all the instruments on his albums and singing them too, what a great song writer. Especially for those that kept following him beyond "Faith" & beyond just the singles, he wasn't prolific, but what he gave us was pure quality, no filler. We've lost so many greats from "my time of growing up & beyond" (was it that same time for you also Lisa?), music is my oxygen. Most of the Icons are gone, MJ, WH, Prince,David Bowie, George Michael and more, sad doesn't come close... Peace & take care.
Mark Ulrich , similar experience. All the insensitive comments and assumptions - even jokes- people so callously shared around the time of his passing while I sat there like I had lost a dear friend who I loved since I was 9. Six months later, I wish him a happy birthday and am still so saddened he's left us. He was THROUGH and now he is eternally happy.
Mark Ulrich : It has taken me over a year to read this comment. I actually fell into a deep depression after hearing the news of George Micheal's death. It absolutely devestated me. I just.. Could not believe he was gone. I didn't want to believe all of the news reports and twitter replies from other artists in the industry. I could not accept my dear George was gone. It was bad enough that I was menopausal (Lol) at the time, so my emotions were already a mess.. It was bad enough I was going through changes at work and right after eating Christmas dinner, my husband, along with some other family members, watched a movie and while doing so, my husband was on his phone. He was on Facebook, actually. He said, "Hmm, looks like the singer, George Michael died today. Didn't he have a Christmas song?" I will never forget the tone of my husband's voice. I squeezed his hand next to me. "Please tell me this is a hoax. George Michael did not die on Christmas," I said matter-of-factly. "No way!" After the movie ended, I decided to do a Google search myself. It was everywhere and it was true. I cried the longest "noooo" sound. I cried in disbelief and sheer pain. My heart sunk so low. My eyes started to water. I had to leave the room, where everyone was. Seriously. I got up slowly and went into the bathroom, phone still in hand. Someone asked if I was "all right" and I wasn't. One of the best male voices of the past 30 years was gone. My heart was so sad because as big as a fan of his music I was, I never saw him live. I have nearly all of his albums. All but two. I was so terribly sad for several months. I never knew how much of an impact his music meant to me. It was evident in my depression. I eventually got myself together again by March but whammo! Did George Micheal's death hit me hard. I knew he wrote and sang songs that reflected his life. He endured a lot of pain and I pray he is at peace now. His music will forever live in our hearts.
His unique way to touch every sound of his songs, is so special! And this song is like God is singing, throgh George' voice! He has the soul's vibe in his voice! This song, the lyrics and orchestra, it's like an wise song! Thank you!
If ever you've heard the meaning of through, this is it. This man said it all in the beauty of his songs. Or in his love for life itself, searching, falling and getting up again. He did it, he really captured it, he loved.
Songs are like poems, like paintings, they reflect the soul of their author. It is not life that we judge here, but the artist's works. George Michael's songs are and will always remain incredibile masterpieces.
Its only now that we listen to words of George songs we can hear the torment in his mind and what he was trying to say with he's beautiful lyrics in later years. When you been on the dark side with a tortured trouble mind and personally know what its like and its hard to come back without help or like yourself. And its becomes so easy to press the self destruction button. From a fan of the same age who was on the same ride as lots of us grew up with George being like friend we never knew he was somebody through his music touch our lives. I can remember George saying what is it with the public when screw up and publicly humiliate myself my career pops back up like a duck in the bath. The main reason was you pure talent in his music also we all could see your human mistakes that we all make but loved your honesty about them. I dont care what the haters will say about you or your sexuality thats nothing to do them nor should we sit here a judge you !!!!! We are all saints we are all sinners so let the first Person who hasn't sinned cast the first stone. God bless you may you be welcome in heaven
Exactly..God is our final judge anyway.. like you said, everyone makes mistakes.. no one is perfect. George's music, especially the past 15 years, was so heartfelt. Like, the older he got, the more mounumental and honest his music became. He aged like a fine wine. He saw life for how cruel it can really be and didn't stray away from it. He constantly spoke about the British press being "unrelenting hunted hounds" and how he got "blacklisted" by the American record label Sony, after 1998.
Lisa T, I agree with you totally!On that note of how hounded he was... we sure did miss out on a lot of music by one of the most talented singer/songwriter/producer/musicians of all time b/c he was so unrelentingly chased and not supported by his record label(s). I can only imagine he's got some great music we've never heard. Have you heard the song he wrote about the very painful ending of his relationship with Kenny? I just did, surprised I didn't before called "Where I hope you are". It's a really emotional song check it out here on TH-cam, some of the vids he explains quite a bit of what he meant, why he wrote it and how he feels about Kenny and the end of their love. This is a song anyone in love with someone that it cannot work out with can truly relate to, gender is irrelevant, it's about the heart, love and pain. All universal...we are all so much more alike than not, if we'd just give each other a chance... Peace to all, especially George. ❤✌🏼

One of his more exceptional songs. A beautiful man with a beautiful heart. Listen to the passion and pain in his voice. Straight from heaven, this one! Love you, George!
Джордж Майкл - самый красивый мужчина , самый элегантный . Элегантен во всем - внешне , в исполнении композиций . Каждой песне он придает такое изящество , какое присуще только великолепному , обожаемому Джорджу Майклу . Его выступление это такое эстетическое наслаждение для глаз , слуха и души ... Гениальный артист , приятный человек , красивый мужчина ; что ещё нужно , чтобы жить долго ...... НО ....., а жаль......
From pink shorts and tanks to three-piece suits ~ or an even more casual look with just a nice shirt and jacket, if you know his music and lyrics, you can see his transition in both styles as to his growth by how he dressed. When I listen to " Careless Whisper " even though he is more quaffed, he is casual with look. But true to " form " his movements with his hands toward the end " punches " me hard. I so loved this man, as one of the most " intriguing souls " to be born. ~ RIP George, I miss you ~ always will ~ Lisa
I started watching this concert film on TV a few years back and after the first song I was totally mesmerised. I was not a George Michael fan but watched it all. It blew me away and i realised how amazing an artist he was. Such a powerful and brilliant performer. ❤
George was a beautiful creature, this was his swan song for everyone to feel his feelings through his music! We miss you George, your singing to the angels in heaven my friend........sing on forever........
When I first heard this song my heart sank because I felt he was giving up. George doesn't give up. He is so strong. He has overcome so many things. I'm so proud of you George. I love you🔥💕💋
MASTERPIECE!!! THE ONLY MUSICIAN WHO HAS EVER TOUCHED MY HEART REST IN PEACE GEORGE MICHAEL WE WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER WE WILL PRAY FOR YOU FOREVER AND EVER
Is that enough? I think it's over See, everything has changed And all this hatred may just make me strong enough To walk away They may chase me to the ends of the earth But I've got you babe And they may strip me of the things that I've worked for But I've had my say So hear me now I've enough of these chains I know they're of my making No one else to blame for where I stand today I've no memory of truth But suddenly the audience is so cruel So God, hey God you know why I'm through Through I guess it's tough, I guess I'm older And everything must change But all this cruelty and money instead of love People, have we no shame? They may chase me to the ends of the earth But I've got you babe And they may take away the things that I've worked for But you'll pull me through It's so clear to me now I've enough of these chains Life is there for the taking What kind of fool would remain in this cheap gilded cage I've no memory of truth But suddenly the audience is so cruel Oh God, I'm sorry I think I'm through I think I'm through I think I'm, I know I'm
Such a beautiful soul, what transpired was so foul, George you needed it not and some cruel hearts hurt you then forgot. You carried on despite all the disdain. We all loved you and now remember your pain! Your voice is like a smooth lovely stream... I listen to you and then I dream. May you always Rest In Peace , you know how the music touched our souls and shall never cease. You are written in history, you earned a life, you gifted us constantly to eternity. The music you shared, with an open ❤️
Exactly! I think he knew he wasn't going to live much longer. When our body starts showing certain signs of wearing out, we start to prepare for death. I wish George Michael could have been with us longer. He is missed terribly by his fans and close friends.
Only George could pull off something like this.....so much soul, pain and the depth in his voice....definitely one of his songs that touched me to the core. God bless George I’m sure ur in a better place🙏
No more pain or torment where you are now. You were too evolved for this world George. Only a deeply sensitive and kind soul has the ability to create as you did. How truly blessed we are to have had you amongst us. You will be cherished for the ages. R.I.P.. gentle spirit. You are very loved.
Less than 2 million views for one of THE definitive voices. Ever. But hundreds of millions - even a billion - views for a song that is soon forgotten as soon as the "trending" passes. Reflects the times we're living in. Sad.
There are 149 people that have given this a "Thumbs down".... They must be soulless people.. How can you not LOVE this man, his voice, his songs, his song writing.... EVERYTHING...... A legend, a genius and most of all.... just a lovely guy... God Rest His Soul....

They are other singers fans and George Michael haters
They may just ve done it unpurposely you know. Now we can't see em anymore..

He was so Great!! I miss him. But that's how it goes the Great ones die young!!! RIP.
I cry every single time I hear Through. He sounds so sad💔💔💔
1 million views is nowhere near enough for this masterful performance.
"They may take away the things i worked for"...They will never take you AWAY from our hearts NEVER!
Your listening to, arguably the greatest male singer songwriter ever. The likes of which we will never see again.
Let's thank god we had him in our lives.
Oh yeah.. lucky us!
Agreed
I spent 5k on a Hifi system just to listen to his music as best I could hear it. I succeeded as the system playing his music can bring me to tears.
I’d suggest that was money well spent! 👏👍😀
Congrats! It's a fabulous music!! Deserves to be well listened

Probably the finest singer of the 21st century.

One of the best singers ever. His passion and pain was sung thru his beautiful voice when he found love and lost it. I hope he is still singing in heaven.
One in a lifetime talent or maybe never again. Every time I listen to GM there is no other music that comes close. He makes everything else seem dull.
They say we are the lucky generation loving in this digital age ,but I say we were lucky to see stars like George,Prince ,Michael who we will never see their likes again, may they RIP ,thank u for ur music
There’s no one to compare with this man’s ability to sing ! I wish I listen to him before when he was still alive but I feel he’s still around.
The life of a sensitive soul is a constant struggle for survival, bringing courage from the depth of the heart to bear upon difficulties imposed by the heartless. Or indifference from people who lack the ability to understand life on a truly meaningful level.

Elegant, wonderful man and artist!
Does anybody realise what a masterpiece this is :O
No one ever expressed their feeling better!
your right superb music and singing
In retrospect, I wonder if George intentionally wanted to have this piece first in his last public tour to set a message for us.... :(

Lisa T, I couldn't agree more Lisa. Literally two of my all time favorite singers period. However they were of my generation/a bit older, so that made them perfect to "grow up" listening to them and continue as you're an adult because the both were such amazingly rare talents. They were both on a rare list(this was b4 streaming, downloading, etc) of artists that I would do a "blind buy" on. If it had their name on it and I'd never heard it, didn't matter I'd buy it without a doubt. Because you always knew it was going to be superb. For Whitney, that did sadly change as she seemingly forever changed her voice with smoking and whatever else. It was just at that time a tragedy. I recall my BFF who shares my love of Whitney & George and most other things, bought "Just Whitney" we were sampling and then saw that she covered Debbie Boone's "You Light up my Life". Well, we knew that was something WH would sing the hell of, kept waiting, the song ended we just looked at each other confused, astonished that she did such a "flat, uninspired, unentertaining" cover of a song she should've torn into and left us with that feeling that few people in the history of music ever could. It was the beginning of the end for her, I hoped just her career, but sadly that wasn't to be and now also Bobbi Kris too, just horrific. George passing so suddenly was even more of a shock, though both were just surreal. At a family Christmas open house I came into a room where it was so casually being discussed that GM had just died. They had no idea how much I adored him, his artistry. Then someone says "it must've been AIDS", I had to say just b/c a gay man dies doesn't mean it's HIV/AIDS. It didn't matter what else was said, only the gutted feeling I had that not only someone I found 2b extremely talented, writing, producing, playing all the instruments on his albums and singing them too, what a great song writer. Especially for those that kept following him beyond "Faith" & beyond just the singles, he wasn't prolific, but what he gave us was pure quality, no filler. We've lost so many greats from "my time of growing up & beyond" (was it that same time for you also Lisa?), music is my oxygen. Most of the Icons are gone, MJ, WH, Prince,David Bowie, George Michael and more, sad doesn't come close... Peace & take care.
Mark Ulrich , similar experience. All the insensitive comments and assumptions - even jokes- people so callously shared around the time of his passing while I sat there like I had lost a dear friend who I loved since I was 9. Six months later, I wish him a happy birthday and am still so saddened he's left us. He was THROUGH and now he is eternally happy.
Amen! I visualize George as the lead Angel singer. He was the greatest singer on this earth.
Mark Ulrich : It has taken me over a year to read this comment. I actually fell into a deep depression after hearing the news of George Micheal's death. It absolutely devestated me. I just.. Could not believe he was gone. I didn't want to believe all of the news reports and twitter replies from other artists in the industry. I could not accept my dear George was gone. It was bad enough that I was menopausal (Lol) at the time, so my emotions were already a mess.. It was bad enough I was going through changes at work and right after eating Christmas dinner, my husband, along with some other family members, watched a movie and while doing so, my husband was on his phone. He was on Facebook, actually. He said, "Hmm, looks like the singer, George Michael died today. Didn't he have a Christmas song?"
I will never forget the tone of my husband's voice. I squeezed his hand next to me.
"Please tell me this is a hoax. George Michael did not die on Christmas," I said matter-of-factly. "No way!"
After the movie ended, I decided to do a Google search myself. It was everywhere and it was true. I cried the longest "noooo" sound. I cried in disbelief and sheer pain. My heart sunk so low. My eyes started to water. I had to leave the room, where everyone was. Seriously. I got up slowly and went into the bathroom, phone still in hand. Someone asked if I was "all right" and I wasn't.
One of the best male voices of the past 30 years was gone. My heart was so sad because as big as a fan of his music I was, I never saw him live. I have nearly all of his albums. All but two. I was so terribly sad for several months. I never knew how much of an impact his music meant to me. It was evident in my depression. I eventually got myself together again by March but whammo! Did George Micheal's death hit me hard.
I knew he wrote and sang songs that reflected his life. He endured a lot of pain and I pray he is at peace now. His music will forever live in our hearts.
Everything he did was a masterpiece.......genuis
My angel one in a billion
@@elenimandis6576 you are absolutely Right
A song that touches the soul of every GM fan....
Absolutely one of the best interpreters of songs, performers, song writer, of this century. ❤❤❤
His unique way to touch every sound of his songs, is so special! And this song is like God is singing, throgh George' voice! He has the soul's vibe in his voice! This song, the lyrics and orchestra, it's like an wise song! Thank you!
You are so right. He had an intuitiveness beyond comprehension.
If ever you've heard the meaning of through, this is it. This man said it all in the beauty of his songs. Or in his love for life itself, searching, falling and
getting up again. He did it, he really captured it, he loved.
Saw him at the Birmingham concert I still cant believe he isnt with us anymore.Love you forever George ❤❤
Songs are like poems, like paintings, they reflect the soul of their author.
It is not life that we judge here, but the artist's works.
George Michael's songs are and will always remain incredibile masterpieces.
If you don’t think this is a real song ? With real soul. There is No hope for you! Real Singing.
I saw this concert live. Wow....man the "boy" could sing. Peace George.
This song says it all. We have lost a legend.
Absolutely right
He was the best!!!😢
Its only now that we listen to words of George songs we can hear the torment in his mind and what he was trying to say with he's beautiful lyrics in later years. When you been on the dark side with a tortured trouble mind and personally know what its like and its hard to come back without help or like yourself. And its becomes so easy to press the self destruction button. From a fan of the same age who was on the same ride as lots of us grew up with George being like friend we never knew he was somebody through his music touch our lives. I can remember George saying what is it with the public when screw up and publicly humiliate myself my career pops back up like a duck in the bath. The main reason was you pure talent in his music also we all could see your human mistakes that we all make but loved your honesty about them. I dont care what the haters will say about you or your sexuality thats nothing to do them nor should we sit here a judge you !!!!! We are all saints we are all sinners so let the first Person who hasn't sinned cast the first stone. God bless you may you be welcome in heaven
MR B well said 💖
MR B, Amen Brother!
I couldn't have said it better.....Beautiful and perfect.
Exactly..God is our final judge anyway.. like you said, everyone makes mistakes.. no one is perfect. George's music, especially the past 15 years, was so heartfelt. Like, the older he got, the more mounumental and honest his music became. He aged like a fine wine. He saw life for how cruel it can really be and didn't stray away from it. He constantly spoke about the British press being "unrelenting hunted hounds" and how he got "blacklisted" by the American record label Sony, after 1998.
Lisa T, I agree with you totally!On that note of how hounded he was... we sure did miss out on a lot of music by one of the most talented singer/songwriter/producer/musicians of all time b/c he was so unrelentingly chased and not supported by his record label(s). I can only imagine he's got some great music we've never heard. Have you heard the song he wrote about the very painful ending of his relationship with Kenny? I just did, surprised I didn't before called "Where I hope you are". It's a really emotional song check it out here on TH-cam, some of the vids he explains quite a bit of what he meant, why he wrote it and how he feels about Kenny and the end of their love. This is a song anyone in love with someone that it cannot work out with can truly relate to, gender is irrelevant, it's about the heart, love and pain. All universal...we are all so much more alike than not, if we'd just give each other a chance... Peace to all, especially George. ❤✌🏼
Он, классика, он, шедевр. Он, жизжнь, порок, все, что мы скрываем, а он показал!
Настоящий❤ Не фальшивый и при этом добрый был❤

this song was heartbreaking. sometimes i listen to it cause i relate to how he was feeling
yes judy
This is Gold! What a King George Michael. I miss you and your songs 💖
Джордж Майкл - самый красивый мужчина , самый элегантный . Элегантен во всем - внешне , в исполнении композиций . Каждой песне он придает такое изящество , какое присуще только великолепному , обожаемому Джорджу Майклу . Его выступление это такое эстетическое наслаждение для глаз , слуха и души ... Гениальный артист , приятный человек , красивый мужчина ; что ещё нужно , чтобы жить долго ...... НО ....., а жаль......
И правда, очень жаль!
I love George Michael,he was a genius
Yes he was genius we can keep him alive by listening to his music here on u tube
It still hurts to listen to these lyrics ....August 2020 .
An incredible human
5 mins of pure perfection
Perfección magnífico excelente
From pink shorts and tanks to three-piece suits ~ or an even more casual look with just a nice shirt and jacket, if you know his music and lyrics, you can see his transition in both styles as to his growth by how he dressed. When I listen to " Careless Whisper " even though he is more quaffed, he is casual with look. But true to " form " his movements with his hands toward the end " punches " me hard. I so loved this man, as one of the most " intriguing souls " to be born. ~ RIP George, I miss you ~ always will ~ Lisa
I started watching this concert film on TV a few years back and after the first song I was totally mesmerised. I was not a George Michael fan but watched it all. It blew me away and i realised how amazing an artist he was. Such a powerful and brilliant performer. ❤
I've been to over 250 concerts...his was by far the Best....miss you George
'What kind of fool would remain in this cheap gilded cage'-OMG!!!!Artistry at it's best❤️❤️
George was a beautiful creature, this was his swan song for everyone to feel his feelings through his music!
We miss you George, your singing to the angels in heaven my friend........sing on forever........
Beautiful George 😢sang here from the heart. You are one of gods angels now ❤
I dont know how many times i have you tubed/ googled this but its still a classic and reminder of such fslent we have lost
I’m the same. He was a gift from God.
When I first heard this song my heart sank because I felt he was giving up. George doesn't give up. He is so strong. He has overcome so many things. I'm so proud of you George. I love you🔥💕💋
Wie wunderbar George Michael war.!!!!❤
Ein unwieder-
bringlicher Verlust😢😢😢
Er sah so perfekt aus, so toll und so sang er auch.
Mit so viel Gefühl😊😊😊😊😊😊
Perfect. My favourite of all time from an angel. RIP George. Forever your dedicated fan. Thank you for everything.
Forever George Michael !!!

Best singer and composer ever !!! Love this song !
Masterpiece.
So much love and gratitude to George.
Hope he found peace.
He gave us so much beauty.
Is that enough?
I think it's over
See, everything has changed
And all this hatred may just make me strong enough
To walk away
They may chase me to the ends of the earth
But I've got you babe
And they may strip me of the things that I've worked for
But I've had my say
So hear me now
I've enough of these chains
I know they're of my making
No one else to blame for where I stand today
I've no memory of truth
But suddenly the audience is so cruel
So God, hey God you know why I'm through
Through
I guess it's tough, I guess I'm older
And everything must change
But all this cruelty and money instead of love
People, have we no shame?
They may chase me to the ends of the earth
But I've got you babe
And they may take away the things that I've worked for
But you'll pull me through
It's so clear to me now
I've enough of these chains
Life is there for the taking
What kind of fool would remain in this cheap gilded cage
I've no memory of truth
But suddenly the audience is so cruel
Oh God, I'm sorry
I think I'm through
I think I'm through
I think I'm, I know I'm
These lyrics take me on an emotional ride with our dearest George! 💔😩👑
Her strong believes where it stands for, whatever, whenever and wherever : Thanks God. Thanks for share your song.
❤
It was after I saw and listened to this track live, 3rd row from the front at Cardiff that I fully appreciated this song! George you were AMAZING! RIP
My favourite/best singer/sonwriter! so sensible!
Such a beautiful soul, what transpired was so foul, George you needed it not and some cruel hearts hurt you then forgot. You carried on despite all the disdain. We all loved you and now remember your pain! Your voice is like a smooth lovely stream... I listen to you and then I dream. May you always Rest In Peace , you know how the music touched our souls and shall never cease. You are written in history, you earned a life, you gifted us constantly to eternity. The music you shared, with an open ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Exactly! I think he knew he wasn't going to live much longer. When our body starts showing certain signs of wearing out, we start to prepare for death. I wish George Michael could have been with us longer. He is missed terribly by his fans and close friends.
Only George could pull off something like this.....so much soul, pain and the depth in his voice....definitely one of his songs that touched me to the core. God bless George I’m sure ur in a better place🙏
The passion in George's voice is so amazing!
Amazing how he changes his pitch constantly
Stupendo mi viene la pelle d'oca una preghiera per te con il ❤ cuore
still, one of best singers on earth.
Who cannot say that is Good. Actually this is Exceptional Raw TALENT. A GIFT being shared.
No more pain or torment where you are now. You were too evolved for this world George. Only a deeply sensitive and kind soul has the ability to create as you did. How truly blessed we are to have had you amongst us. You will be cherished for the ages. R.I.P.. gentle spirit. You are very loved.
I met you when I was 19 years old and I always carried you in my heart. ILOVE George❤donde quiera que estés.
So glad he didn't no covid he knew it was here and coming😍
Less than 2 million views for one of THE definitive voices. Ever.
But hundreds of millions - even a billion - views for a song that is soon forgotten as soon as the "trending" passes.
Reflects the times we're living in. Sad.
George... missing you, your talent and your voice. 😔
Слушаем,грустим..Но, при этом восхищаемся - голос, ,вокал!!!!
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Da da da
4:17 "in this cheap gilded cage.." - that moment.. damn.. especially that musical "shot" on the word "Cage"... speechless..
Speechless
Just magical. Epic. Beautiful. One of a kind performer. Thanks!
2020 how we miss this wonderful singer may we will never forget his beautiful voice!
