作为《HIStory》专辑中第二支发行的单曲, “You Are Not Alone”,于95年8月进行了世界范围内的发行。在英国,该曲首周进榜成绩为 #3,隔周上位 #1 并在冠军位置上停留2周,在前5名停留了7周,在75名停留了15周,最终成为Michael在英国单曲榜上第三支停驻榜单时间最长的单曲。该曲在英国取得了超过400,000张的金唱片认证并取代“Heal the World”成为Michael自己90年代在英国第二成功的单曲。“Your Are Not Alone”的巨大成功将专辑《HIStory》重新拉入前10名。
“You Are Not Alone”曾有过多次现场表演,其中包括95年MTV颁奖典礼,96灵魂音乐奖颁奖典礼以及1999年在德国和韩国的“What More Can I Give”的慈善演唱会上的表演。最普遍的应该算是“HIStory”的巡演。虽然该曲不是 100%的现场演唱,但歌曲的最后部分却总是现场发挥的。
英文歌词:
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone
All alone
Why, oh
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
So forever can begin
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Then something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
And you are not alone
Oh...
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
Fly...
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone(You are not alone)
For I am here with you(I am here with you)
Though you're far away(Though you're far away)
I am here to stay(And you with me)
For you are not alone(You're always)
In my heart.....For I am here with you
Heart.....Though we're far apart
Heart.....You're always in my heart
For you are not alone
Not alone
You are not alone, you are not alone...
You just reach for me girl
In the morning in the evening
Not alone, not alone
And you with me, not alone
Oh, together, together...

Michael Jackson was unquestionably the biggest pop star of the '80s, and certainly one of the most popular recording artists of all time. In his prime, Jackson was an unstoppable juggernaut, possessed of all the tools to dominate the charts seemingly at will: an instantly identifiable voice, eye-popping dance moves, stunning musical versatility, and loads of sheer star power. His 1982 blockbuster Thriller became the biggest-selling album of all time (probably his best-known accomplishment), and he was the first black artist to find stardom on MTV, breaking down innumerable boundaries both for his race and for music video as an art form. Michael Joseph Jackson was born August 29, 1958. The fifth son of steelworker Joe Jackson, Michael displayed a talent for music and dance from an extremely young age. His father began to organize a family musical group around his three eldest sons in 1962, and Michael joined them the following year, quickly establishing himself as a dynamic stage performer. Dubbed the Jackson 5, the group signed to Motown in 1968 and issued their debut single in October 1969, when Michael was just 11 years old. "I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save," and "I'll Be There" all hit number one in 1970, making the Jackson 5 the first group in pop history to have their first four singles top the charts. Later in 1972, Jackson had his first number-one solo single, "Ben." In 1977, he met producer/composer Quincy Jones for the first time. With Jones producing, Jackson recorded his first solo album as an adult, Off the Wall. Released in 1982, the Quincy Jones-produced Thriller refined the strengths of Off the Wall; the dance and rock tracks were more driving, the pop tunes and ballads softer and more soulful, and all of it was recognizably Michael. It was no surprise that Thriller was a hit; what was a surprise was its staying power. Jackson's duet with McCartney, "The Girl Is Mine," was a natural single choice, and it peaked at number two; then "Billie Jean" and the Van Halen track "Beat It" both hit number one, for seven and three weeks respectively. Those latter two songs, as well as the future Top Five title track, had one important feature in common: Jackson supported them with elaborately conceived video clips that revolutionized the way music videos were made. The anti-gang-violence "Beat It" became an homage to West Side Story; and the ten-minute-plus clip for "Thriller" (routinely selected as the best video of all time) featured Jackson leading a dance troupe of rotting zombies, with loads of horror-film makeup and effects. 20世纪的流行乐坛群星璀璨,Micheal Jackson则是这100年间极具代表意义的歌手。1958年8月29日,Micheal Jackson出生于美国印每安纳州(Indiana)的工业小城镇加里市(Gray)。他是Micheal Jackson家族的第九个黑人成员。父亲约瑟夫是一家钢铁厂的吊车工,有一双能娴熟摆弄吉它的手。母亲凯瑟琳能唱许多早年的流行歌曲。父亲不在家的时候,孩子常从壁橱里拿出父亲的吉它学着弹唱,居然将父亲弹的曲子一首首全部都学会了。约瑟夫发现了孩子们的天赋,于是他买来了吉它、贝斯、音响放大器等乐器及设备,组建了一个家庭乐队,由嗓音优美的Micheal担任主唱。这个家庭乐队就是后来的 “杰克逊五兄弟”(Jackson Five) 1971年10月,13岁的Micheal Jackson推出了他很快成为热门歌曲的首支个人单曲《必须成功》(Got to be There),这是他单飞的起点。 1978年,Micheal Jackson的全新个人专辑《墙外》(off the Wall),在不到一年的时间内就销出的1100万张,并在流行歌曲排行榜上一直停留了五年。 1982年11月,Micheal Jackson的新专辑《颤栗者》(Thriller)更使许多流行乐坛的纪录被推翻。 1985年3月,由众多名星参与的慈善义演《天下一家》(We Are the World)及其影带在全球推出。成为音乐界最为轰动的事件。这次义演是Micheal Jackson参与发起的。他因而成为具有强大影响力和号召力的“文化大使”。
I'll be there

When you and I first met
We were so inseparable (So inseparable)
And on that last day I left
Thinkin we'd need a miracle (Need a miracle)
Cause every little word that you said to me
Became the biggest pain in my heart
And all my pride making me pretend
You'd be so happy that we're apart
You just don't understand
You just don't understand
You got to be there for me
You hold my heart in your hand
You got to be there for me
You just don't understand
nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah
So far down this road
I'm not sure we can repair (Sure we can repair)
And each and every time we be on the phone
We both actin like we don't care (Actin like we don't care)
It would be so sad to me
To be the one that got away (One that got away)
And it hurts just as much to see
To see the feelings we have decayed
Decay in front of our eyes
You just don't understand
You got to be there for me (You)
You hold my heart in your hand
You got to be there for me (You just don't understand)
You just don't understand (oh no no)
You just don't understand
You got to be there for me (You got to be there yeah)
You hold my heart in your hand
You got to be there for me
You're all that I have
You don't understand

尽管他的生活和他的音乐(当然还有他的那张脸)在过去的十年间都有些混乱,但Jackson对流行音乐所做出的贡献却是不可磨灭的。在那个黑人和白人观众都只知道坚守着自己一贯的聆听习惯而不肯相互欣赏的时候,《Off The Wall》,特别是《Thriller》这样的专辑无疑是成为了融合不同乐迷的良药———是杰克逊让这些坚守自己小圈子的人们走到了一起,或许对他来说,这才是音乐生涯中最值得引以为傲的荣耀。
