Obsessing over this track again of late. Man, this is a cool-ass song.

We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973

I return to this song again and again like it's part of my yearly migration pattern, or like I'm a salmon returning to the stream of my origin.
I find a terrifying beauty on display here, the American Dream gone all f'n wrong despite so much promise, outward success underscored by private agony and abuse, unheard of excess, and ultimately a man dying because he needed hospital grade anesthesia or he couldn't otherwise sleep.
Of course there's all the other MJ personal issues and I'm not gonna open that can of worms (so to speak).
But this vocal? Get the fuck out. I mean, seriously -- get the fuck out of here. This is unreal. Don't even get me started on the music, or the killer bassline and guitars.
MJ improvises a bit over the outro and foreshadows what later became some of his vocal trademarks -- the tics, the whooo's, things he made famous in songs like "Billy Jean".
I do hope you take a moment to enjoy this; I can't hear it without an undercurrent of profound sorrow.

^^Love that album, especially the title-track. Still have the LP, which was collectors item in the LP-age already I think.

Every once in a while a song comes up in my rotation that makes everything stop.
Just the song for a couple of minutes.
I saw this line up a couple of times. It was magic.
