This song was originally on his 'Listen Without Prejudice' cd in 1990.
Certainly way ahead of its time, and more relevant today than ever. Lyrically and vocally it's exquisite, and prophetic.
The New York Times September 16, 1990, George Michael is quoted regarding this song:
"No event inspired the song. It's my way of trying to figure out why it's so hard for people to be good to each other. I believe the problem is conditional as opposed to being something inherent in mankind. The media has affected everybody's consciousness much more than most people will admit. Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We're taught that you have to grab what you can before it's gone. It's almost as if there isn't time for compassion."
This is the Abbey Road version, recorded live in London 2004.

Good Morning -
Tumblr sent this post to my notes.
It's my 13 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
The story about the beginning of this blog, was that it began without any thought of writing.
There were images that I had on my pc, taking up needed space. I wanted to find a place for them where I could view them in grid form. Tumblr archive was exactly what I was looking for.
An entire year went by with me flying under the radar.
One day an image I posted moved me to add words.
The next day I received an email from Tumblr with something about a follower.
The next day, another follower, with something called a reblog.
More images, more words from my heart.
And then the unexpected happened, Tumblr changed, purged and wow- the fallout from 2018 was unimaginable.
I wrote about it - (link below.)
I was so busy at that time, living and working in Manhattan that my Tumblr was placed on pause.
In 2020, I returned. I did miss my writing and my Tumblrs.
I'm thankful for all of you.
Tumblr has been, and continues to be a most amazing and incredible experience that touches me deeply. <-Thank all of you for that.
Here's to more words and inspiration!
Thank you for stopping by.
With Love,
beautflstranger

Good Morning -
It's the little moments that make you smile.
The colors, textures, music on headphones, as you take it all in.
Senses on beautiful overload.
Let's walk awhile.
Love,

Good Morning -
It's been a minute!
Spring on the horizon.
Bits of green on the trees, little petals bursting with promise.
Days of warmth tinged with chill, winter's grip lingering.
Thank you for stopping by.
Love,

I love the tender side of men.
That masculine warmth of strength.
The humanness of an open heart.
That protective embrace that envelops you.
And it's not about sex.
It's about relating on a much higher level.
A bonding of soul to soul, which is irreplaceable.
That one moment moves heaven and earth in a woman's heart.
Her vulnerability exposed, shared and accepted, in this moment of quiet surrender.
A relationship taken to a place where you both find healing. Comfort. Peace.
A place where nothing else matters in the world, but this unification.
If you aspire to anything in life, let it be this.
The rest of it will fall into place.
Let the superficial fall to the wayside.
Leave the nonsense behind.
If the last few years taught us anything, let it be reaching for moments like this.

I was in a lovely salon some years ago with my Mom. Somewhere in my 20's and in love with all things creative in the beauty/hairstyling industries. I never knew where to look first, my head swiveling between the hair cutters, colorists and makeup artists. Taking it all in.
At that time, the salon as spa was just beginning to take hold. This salon had added quite a few offerings, and weren't shy about their Madison Avenue pricing.
The owner showed the new brochure to me and I started curiously reading about all these exotic lotions, poitions and pressure points. No, I didn't indulge.
My Mom smiled and said that aside from a therapeutic standpoint, people are basically paying to be touched.
That insight was honestly impactful, and resonated deeply with me.
I began to think about what might be missing from one's life, where a person would reach for a massage.
The word Touch.
How often are people in a relationship touched sensually without it leading to a sexual scenario.
How often people want a hug to last a bit longer.
How people merely wish to be held and have their hair stroked.
Touch. Tenderness. Caress. Healing.
Flash forward.
I was in an amazing relationship where I was gifted with a nightly massage. Sometimes oil, lotion or just fingertip touch. ( In case you're wondering - of course reciprocated.)
That nightly massage wiped away the day, literally. It sometimes led to pure deep slumber, and sometimes led to something sexy.
The beauty of it was that there weren't any expectations.
Touch simply given in abundance and received in gratitude.
The sensuality of skin texture.
The sensuality of fingertips with varied touch.
Either drifting off or fully turned on.
A relationship of pure giving sensuality.
Pleasure derived from gifting pleasure.
The definition of sensual.

Good Morning -
I was thinking about sensuality, and different interpretations about it.
What constitutes something sensual?
Yes, it begins in one's mind and imagination.
But beyond that, how is it implemented?
Don't simply think sex, because it's far beyond that.
Thank you for joining in.
Love,
beautflstranger
