Jackson, Michael - Days In Gloucestershire Lyrics

    Imagine:

    One More Chance

    Youth, hold on I am not done with you, you want me to...... Dreams they come, one wish for me and youth. Its spinning down, low low down. I cant cant hold on for you. In my youth spinning spinning down to catch you, oh no I wouldn't have done it, if I had met you. Half way, half way. Then the sun rises, it casts its light like from the heavens so brilliant baby so brilliant.
    Shinning on the land, saying dont take me with your hand, even if you can. I will be waiting for the blue sky when it shines all over all over me and you. Spinning spinning for you. Your my hearts anew I have caught you in my youth, in my youth. Turning twinkling star is shining, shining for me to its all on you. Make a choice, see clearly cause I will always stay there with you, in our youth. Mmm mmm ta da da

  18. J.... S....

    Wait this was real I thought the people of Gloucestershire were making it up and when that man red the lyrics in his manly voice I was like how could you ruin a song that could be one of Michaels

  19. J.... A....

    There is something so relaxing about this song, does anyone know if he completed a proper recording of it?

    J.... A....

    I agree. No further progress known.

    J.... A....

    @Sven Nelson supposedly theres a finished unreleased recording in 08

  20. C.... D....

    Such a happy song, such a troubling time for Michael Jackson and his family. Really makes you just sit and listen and wish these things didn’t happen to him.

  21. A.... W....

    such a soothing relaxing song. I love it❤️❤️❤️

  22. T.... 1....

    So, I wish that I’ll see Gloucestershire soon...

  23. J.... g....

    beautiful peace :)

  24. F.... N....

    Does he even say 'Gloucestershire' in the song?

    F.... N....

    Fauxie NPR - Well yes but he's American and probably wasn't even aware of how to properly pronounce it. But yeah, how he sang it is correct here in the US.

    F.... N....

    Respectfully, there's only gloster-sheer or gloster-shy-er as far as 'correct' is concerned, though I'm sure all manner of mispronunciations are possible.

    F.... N....

    Fauxie NPR - We're talking about the country here. It's not pronounced the way Michael did but you are correct that those two are the correct pronunciations for the word itself.

    F.... N....

    You deleted your comment? lol not being funny, but as someone who grew up in Gloucestershire I chuckled at you telling me I was correct about the pronunciation. I'm not putting MJ down. I'm kinda chuffed (and certainly surprised) there is an MJ song (in part, or the title at least) related to the county I grew up in, I'm just saying the pronunciation is most definitely wonky. You can't have 'correct for US' on this one, sorry. If I started saying Baltimore is correctly pronounced 'Ballymore' in the UK someone would surely inform me that I'm just plain pronouncing it incorrectly.

    F.... N....

    Apparently according to one of the engineers working on this song (I think it's Brad Buxer), he does say "Gloucestershire" but purposefully mispronounced it for creative license.

  25. D.... L....

    I always searched for unreleased. I had a lot from fans all over the world because I was on many fansites while he was still alive. Some of these fans have became my friends. Friends for a lifetime. I know most of them for more than ten years. But I'm really happy to have this youtube channel thanks to sven

    D.... L....

    Lucky.... I was only 7 years old when he died 😭

  26. M.... ....

    I can hear Heal the World on this :v

  27. D.... M....

    Outstanding.

  28. K.... W....

    This song has “Michael” written all over it

  29. H.... ....

    What song does this song remind me of?

    H.... ....

    Hallowman74 - I Am A Loser? Have you heard that one?

    H.... ....

    @slinkey999 reminds me too a little bit of I Am A Loser

    The song called "Days In Gloucestershire", comes from sessions in which Jackson, his producer and arranger for a long time, Brad Buxer and his trusted engineer, Michael Prince, collaborated. It was essentially the remedy to the previous theme of Jackson and Buxer, "I Am A Loser".

    In short, Jackson and Buxer were staying in adjoining hotel rooms as they worked together on musical recordings in early 2003. Buxer, who was going through a breakup at the time, was awake late at night hanging around his room repeating: "I'm a loser, I'm just a loser!"


    A moment later, Jackson, who could hear Buxer through the wall, knocked on his door, came in and asked, "What's the problem?"

    "Oh, I'm a loser ... I'm just a loser!" Buxer replied, before explaining his situation.

    "We're going to write a song about it," Jackson suggested. And they did it.

    Moving up to 2004, Jackson and Buxer are back together working, this time along with Michael Prince, at the Neverland ranch.

    Although there was an avant-garde studio in Neverland, Days in Gloucestershire was recorded in one of the guest bungalows on the ranch.

    Buxer had a small studio set up in a bungalow, Prince was installed in another bungalow, and Jackson was staying with his children in another.


    Jackson began living in the ranch bungalow with his children after his home, including his bedroom and private office, were raided by police on November 20, 2003, in connection with allegations of child abuse. Jackson was arrested, charged and was awaiting trial at that time (in which he would later be found innocent of all charges).

    After writing a song about being a "loser", Jackson and Buxer began to talk about the things that made them happy and cheered them up when they felt depressed.


    Michael recalled that when he was with the Jackson 5, he visited a beautiful place in England called Gloucestershire. Jackson, however, took the creative license (as he often did) in the pronunciation of the county of South West, pronouncing it as it reads, not as it really should be said.

    According to Jackson, the time he spent in Gloucestershire when he was a teenager three decades earlier, while on tour with his brothers, was still one of his most precious memories. And so, just like they did with "Loser," Jackson and Buxer turned life into art.

    Buxer did the music and Jackson wrote the lyrics, then Brad went home for a few days. Prince stayed at the ranch with Jackson and continued to record all the vocals with the King of Pop in an impromptu studio right there in the cabin bathroom, which was not an unusual thing for Jackson.

    However, unfortunately, as with the vast majority of the material he was working on during the last years of his life, Jackson never came to complete the subject.

    As it is in its final version, the song has a single verse and a chorus that Jackson sings again and again.

    "What I did was go and do the first verse and the chorus and I did not do a second verse," says Teddy Riley talking about Jackson's habits when writing or recording demos. "It's just to work on the idea."

    This is the way Jackson worked to know which topics he was comfortable with and which ones he did not.

    "What I do when I write is to do a rough version, just to listen to the chorus, just to see how much I like the chorus," explained Jackson. "If it works for me that way when it's unpolished, then I know it will work ... I follow that same process with each song It's the melody The melody is the most important If the melody catches me, I'll continue until the next He passed".

    "Days In Gloucestershire" is by no means complete, but judging by the positive reaction of Jackson's loyal fans, since he first appeared on the internet yesterday, and for those who are simply looking at it as a work of art, that Unfinished state does not seem to matter in the least.

    T.... A....

    Thanks for the story behind the song. I fell in love with the song from when I first heard it a few years ago. I also loved I am a loser I find these two songs to be absolutely lovely great for that nice spring vibe I’ll go on to add Beautiful girl right in there as well

    T.... A....

    Nice Reading. How do you know all these inside information?

    T.... A....

    Wow! Thank you for the information! Do you have more infos zu other songs of MJ during this time?

    T.... A....

    Wondered why he was pronouncing Gloucestershire wrong lol. now I know thanks for all the info 😀

  38. f.... ....

    This song is extremely beautiful thank you for posting

  39. I.... A....

    Congratulations for 7k+ 🎂🎂

  40. A.... R....

    If someone wasn’t in the room with me I would be crying. I get emotional to his music sometimes, this song is honestly so beautiful to me.

  41. T.... W....

    Thank you Sven Nelson!

    T.... W....

    The World Of Michael Jackson I thank you

    T.... W....

    @Sven Nelson we will reach the million! good luck.

  42. D.... H....

    um where where you at mister it's been a long time sven nelson 😂😂

    D.... H....

    David Hernandez I am sorry. But there will be some great things Coming Soon.

  43. J.... ....

    Glad to have You Back. Is it possible that you upload a full version solo version of Don’t Matter To Me?

    J.... ....

    I don't think because Drake bought that snippet from anywhere and used it in the song. It's unknown if there's longer version of this demo.

    J.... ....

    HIStoryMichaelJackson He bought it from Paul Anka

    J.... ....

    ATM TV No it isnt currently. The Drake Version used only pieces of this OneTake Demo and the vocals are filtered too. Only parts were used and are available - the full original is locked by the estate and not Paul Anka. Originally only Michael had the tapes of the Anka-Jackson-Collaboration because Michael did not want to lose control about it. He feared a leak or release from Paul Ankas side later. But as far as I know Anka got all the tapes.

  44. F.... M....

    Lovely song, thank you Michael, thank you Sven

  45. G.... ....

    Wow, this song is very bad! Especially knowing Michael Jackson's high standards and work ethic, I see why this was never released. Thank you nonetheless, for bringing us this song.

    G.... ....

    @fingertape lol your defense is not good. You should have been respectful in the first place. Also dont take everything literal. The Michael didn't like swearing thing was a joke. You need to sit down lmao

    G.... ....

    @GaelDT Michael definitely did swear. If you listened to any songs off the HIStory album or listened to the Glenda tapes Michael definitely used cuss words. He just didn't let on to that fact publicly.

    G.... ....

    XxJosephxX sweetie I’m not talking to you lmao so I really don’t care about your opinion on anything.

    G.... ....

    i like the song. but the Audio quality could be better

    G.... ....

    Your standards are in question ...as well this song is beautiful...shut the f##! Up

  46. A.... ....

    😍😍😍😍😍
    I LOVE Michael Joseph Jackson 😍😍😍😍😍

  47. b.... s....

    do u think song named best of joy mj singed ??? cos it sound different from mj voice this is totally different voice from best of joy please tell I want to know ????

    b.... s....

    black sama it is him, recorded in 09.

    b.... s....

    Yes, he's MJ. Listen to the acapella.

    b.... s....

    black sama That’s MJ 100%, no Jason Malachi. It probably was edited by Sony to make it sound weird

    b.... s....

    does anyone know if was there a Best of Joy demo from 1998? Some said it evolved from an 80’s demo called “The Toy/Best Toy” or smth..

    b.... s....

    Andres CZ if I recall, he was making it at neverland in the early 2000’s and revisited it in 2008/2009.

  48. H.... A....

    😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤

  49. K.... C....

    Michael + This Is It = Mind Blown
    When the next song will be uploaded? 10000th?

    K.... C....

    No of course not. Sorry for being away for some time. How about this weekend or next week?

    K.... C....

    No, JK. I understand. How could you upload when you don't have something? It happens to me too. I'm trying to keep my channel warm but I can't think anything now.

    thanx 😍😍😍

  55. S.... N....

    Thank You! to all my Subscribers. 7.000 subscribers follow this channel now. This is such an honour. I Love You!
    I chose this song as a 'Thank You' in never experienced quality. It is a copy of the Original Mix and tops my Early Version.
    To me personally this song is special. It is an outstanding song. The calm and peaceful vibe makes this to a fav.
    Fans know why this song has some distortion and a lack of clearness regarding the vocals and percussion.
    They are more polished now. This is now an acceptable quality for a collection of fans and musiclovers.

    S.... N....

    we are glad that you share with us this awesome songs and for keeping michael's legacy alive

    S.... N....

    @luciano davila Thank You. I try to be the most respectful towards Michael.
