'People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It's like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song. So, I stay in the moment and listen.' MICHAEL JACKSON (1958 - 2009) Dancing the Dream is one man's hauntingly beautiful, provocatively personal view of the world around us, and the universe within each of us. Whether his prose and poetry focused on creativity, the people that surrounded him, or the plight of the noble elephant, his observations and concerns all illustrated his belief that trust, love and faith are the foundation stones for a life well lived. Containing Michael Jackson's personal writings and over one hundred glorious photographs, drawings, and paintings from his own collection, this book is a must have for all fans of an incredible, inspiring man who died as he lived - dancing his dream. Review: Beautiful - Michael Jackson was very good with words, which is why the poems and other prose-like entries in this book are very melodious to read and are aesthetically pleasing. Not to mention that it isn't just a random bunch of words, the poems are insightful and meaningful. I will definitely recommend people to read this book, along with 'Moonwalk', if you wanna know about the man. The best way to get to know him is through his own words. There's hundreds of books written about him, but I don't feel like they are authentic sources of information. If you're gonna read about Michael Jackson, these two should be your first choice. Review: Great book - Awesome book

Beautiful. Outstanding.
This is not a book. It is a portal that leads you to Michael. You can meet him in the pages here.. he has revealed his heart and soul in it. Everything in this book has depth, you can see who he was on 2 levels - an innocent child with naive eyes and a wise old soul who has experienced God contact. Must read for true MJ believers. Michael was an angel..😇💫

'I keep on dancing and dancing...........and dancing, until there is only............the dance'. MICHAEL JACKSON.
Michael Jackson was a genius, an incredible man of many talents, from artist, dancer, choreographer, composer, singer, writer, and poet, as he shows so commandingly in this beautiful hardback book. I have bought it (and read it several times) to donate it to libraries, schools and hospitals to spread the knowledge about this amazing man, who was also Dr.Jackson with an IQ of 160, apparently to rival that of Albert Einstein! He was awarded an honorary degree for his humanitarian efforts in 1988 from the Fisk University in New York. Not only was he good to look at, so were his mind's creations to read. This becomes instantly obvious from his deep spiritual philosophies in his forty-six essays and stories interspersed with over ninety such attractive photographs of him in action, and drawings. Many cleverly constructed phrases included are well known now which come from some of his song lyrics and poetry, like 'Heal the World', 'Planet Earth' and 'Will You Be There?' He wrote this in 1992 when he was only 34, yet bravely explored concepts like Trust, Innocence, Courage, Love and God. I particularly loved 'When Babies Smile', 'Ecstasy' and 'Quantum Leap' with his brilliant use of language and rhyme; also 'Magical Child', 'Once We Were There;, and 'Are You Listening?' which lift me up and take me to another place. One person who had a very high regard for him was the late famous Elizabeth Taylor who called him The King of Pop, Rock and Soul' in the Introduction.. The only criticisms I have are in the Introduction where a sentence is printed wrongly, split onto two lines, and a misprint in ''Magical Child' Part 2' where a line ends in the word 'play' when I think it should be 'ploy' to rhyme with 'destroy'. Otherwise the work is breathtakingly inspirational, a perfect possession for anyone, fan or not.

michael jackson fan need
It's a poetry book, Michael Jackson said it was more revealing than his autobiography moonwalk. I think the estate needs to reprint/reissure it so it's accessible again to everybody. I was lucky to get a copy of this for $17 4 years ago and now it's in the hundreds thousands or completely unavailable

STUPENDO!
Cosa posso dire? Da fan di Michael posso solo dire che non so come non facevo ancora a non averlo. Il pacco è arrivato nei termini stabiliti ed è arrivato integro senza nessuna usura, anche perché il libro di suo è spesso e in un formato maggiore rispetto ai normali libri. Il libro in questione raccoglie pensieri e poesie di Michael ed è tutto in inglese. Un oggetto che non può assolutamente mancare ai fan del Re del Pop!

A avoir absolument! Sans hesiter !!!
Magnifique livre, écrit par Michael lui-même. Des photos magnifiques, ses réflexions sur la vie et le monde, ses poésies, dessins, etc. Si vous ne devez acheter qu'un ouvrage sur Michael, sans aucune hésitation, choisissez celui là! Un must have pour les vrais fans et pour tous ceux qui veulent vraiment découvrir qui était Michael Jackson en prenant les infos à la source! Un artiste phénoménal, flamboyant, plein de paradoxes. Un être humain exceptionnel, de détermination, de travail, de gentillesse, générosité, soucis de l'autre, humilité malgré une ascension fulgurante et une renommée planétaire. Une perte immense et un héritage artistique qui a tout révolutionné. Une étoile qui a illuminé nos vies, un ange qui est parti. RIP MJ.
