Lyrics
Take my life
Time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognise
People I care for
Take my dreams
Childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyse
Please just be there for me
The things that I know
Nobody told me
The seeds that are sown
They still control me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is I cannot seem to get my eyes open
Take my hand
Lead me to some peaceful land
That I cannot find
Inside my head
Wake me with love
It's all I need
But in all this time
Still no one said...
If I had not asked
Would you have told me
If you call this love
Why don't you hold me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is I cannot seem to get my eyes open
Give me something I can hold
Give me something to believe in
I am frightened for my soul, please, please
Make love to me, send love through me
Heal me with your crime
The only one who ever knew me,
We've wasted so much time
So much time - Hudba
Lots of people dont know that George played most instruments in his songs, ( mainly keyboards/synths). Last Christmas he played ALL the instruments, most of it was performed on a Roland Juno 60. He was a very talented musicain as well as having one of the best male voices on planet earth.
he had the best male voice on this planet and still has to this day and many many decades to come
Would like to know what the instruments are in this masterpiece if you know please?
@@heathermozart22 Older a masterpiece? Is decent but far from a masterpiece
Very true wrote the music played the instruments mixed everything sang and took old music and blended with his own style
Mñ
If you don't like this song or at least appreciate this man's talent then what do you like?
He is LEGENDARY ❤
I am 73years old and I still love listening to george sing he was a genuine man who had a beautiful soul and he was generous to people he didn't even no he was certainly a special man God bless RIP xxx
Never a truer thing said.A great humbie and generous person ❤
George Michael's voice is like warm blanket covering your soul 💝
So perfectly stated...
Those were some beautiful words...
His voice is out of this world! ❤️
Voice of a Angel 💕💕
@@lindalang5030 💯 his voice is like liquid platinum.
A beautiful man ❤ and great Artist i miss you 😢
There's a liar in my head, there's a thief upon my bed but the strangest thing is...I cannot seem to get my eyes open.
RIP George - greatest male singer of all times.
He's up there but greatest is a bold statement
@@80steen44 It is a matter of opinion but honestly can you please tell me who else sang, wrote, produced and played all their own instruments on their own albums? I can name one, Remy Shand, sadly he only released one full EP. And honestly, who else has/had a voice like George's? Even live the man never missed a beat, never missed and note and never sang off key. His voice was as good in his 50s as it was in his 20s, almost NO singer can say that, they mostly all sound like crap as they age.
@@mstyles2667 Prince, and far more often and far more instruments and had an incredible voice. I actually prefer George but the comment only said singer though
Definitely
I read something recently that said how can you miss someone if you never knew them........ George said 'if you want to know who I am listen to my music'...... I miss you George & all the music that should of been X
This is one of George's greatest non-single album tracks ever.
Scratch that, this is one of the best songs of all time. An underrated gem that not many people know about. 💖
I’ve been a George fan for years after I borrowed an album from a 9 yr old. Ha ha.. What an amazing voice and I was blessed to see him in Toronto in 2008. So many great songs, the strangest thing being one of many. But I always seem to refer to kissing a fool when I’m trying to turn someone on to his music. I miss him terribly.
Do you think he is talking about anyone in particular? I do
Very logical Brent
Totally agree ❤
@@loriturnbull1487I heard it was about his ex who died of aids 😢
What a beautiful voice!
What a beautiful song!
What a beautiful man you were!
demain c'est son anniversaire .. le mien aussi et je pense toujours à lui :-(
Im now 54, loved GM since careless whisper came out and he went solo... played his music ever since, I pass his house in Goring most days going to work and blast out his tunes when I pass... RIP George you are so missed and thank you for the Music.
This album is astonishing
my favorite for 24 years. it has been challenged 3 times, but still is my number 1 album of my life.
Without a doubt his best album.
@@rubberchicken5670 Yes it is!!! I still play it like it just dropped!!!
It's one of those rare albums where an artist bares their soul. Completely shows you their inner self with musical genius. I look at this as his coming out album. I didn't like it at first when released. I bought Jesus to a Child single. Couldn't get into the album.. it was a cassette tape. Aoni listened to it over and over until I got it... It took 3 or 4 listens. The best music is usually the stuff that doesn't immediately grab you. This album has followed me throughout my life. It is deeply deeply melancholy which can be a tad dangerous for me. I had some beautiful times listening to this with my first true love in bed. But this was George's breakthrough. Doing what Sony would not allow musically. He truly was free. He questioned his freedom many times. But this album was his release. I don't really buy gay literature or magazines but I recall Gay Times doing a survey on gay male favourite albums. This was voted as no 1. I am unsure if you need to be a gay male to get the deepness and relate to certain lyrics. I just know I can relate. Peace G M. x
@@olderloverxx um what ?! Nope you dont need to be gay to love George Michaels music or the album "Older" lmao
His voice is smooth like silk! Sensuality, Sensitivity and Wisdom are spilled on all his songs.
Absolutely
Ethel Cuadros Excellent Way to Describe his Astonishing Voice!! Your words are Perfect!!
Wow !
Well said.
Too Bad George Michael & Sade NEVER Did A DUET! :(
Rob Lamberti & Sade Would NOT Work for me!
The Best Vocal in History of Music
Detrás de Freddie Mercury
La mejor voz es de Freddie
@@pepelolo8696 Freddie is great but George Michael has a voice that sounds like it has 1mill dollar worth of studio effects singing live and dry. And the songwriting it 2 good 2 ve just on mans but ill be damned they are HIS tunes!
Whitney Houston would have something to say about that
@@WOODBINEMAN99 Whitney was a performer. Not an artist. She sang with great technique but zero passion because she never wrote a note in her life. Comparing her to George is like saying the BSB were in the same arena as Leonard Cohen.
If you call this love why don’t you hold me?
Only george could write and sing this powerful song
Im with you
I love all the instruments and the violin wailing in the backround
The man himself was amazing
This track is the best one from his greatest album. In my humble opinion, only A Different Corner and Cowboys and Angels even come close in lyrical power. “Take my life, time has been twisting the knife”. X
One more try
Forever a masterpiece...RIP George, you are gone but your songs will live forever ❤
The master of elegance
When I bought the "older" album in 1996 this song hit me instantly, so deeply emotional and touching.
In 2019 still one of my favortites. I miss you george😪
And my
It did me too. Personally think this should of been another No 1 for him
Me too
Послушав один раз его песни, была влюблена в его прекрасный и неповторимый голос!!! 😍💓👍👍👍
Same same.. ALWAYS .. 16teen yr old ;)
This song has so such emotional depth, exploring themes of self doubt, disillusionment and the desire to find solace in a life of chaos.
His voice is out of this world! ❤️
Ethereal..
Beter dan,God
It literally is!
A voice that can and will take into deep blue waters
I'm 34, female and I guess I was the only George Michael fan in my class (a German college). I doubt that the others even knew about him. I once dedicated an art project to him at school depicting his face in the shadows like on one of his album covers. I guess my young grandma influenced me on listening to George. I still love, play and sing to his music.
❤ Ich liebe ihn immer noch.
Играй и не останавливайся ❤
Great taste my dear !
I still love You GM
I miss you my love. You give me so much hope, tender and understanding. In my darkness days you was there next to me. Thank you.
You can really hear the Greek influence on this one.
It's just scary how great he is. We were blessed with him and his music. Makes me sad.
He just wanted someone to honestly love him. I wish he could have been a father. ❤️ ct/tx
exactly the same. i'm heartbroken
Greek and Jewish talent one of a kind
And Klingon... He was a genius, but your comment is ridiculous...
@@zodiacthefirst3781 Thanks for making me laugh!!
I am 57 since high school i started to become a fan off george Michael's music.
What a sensual voice george Michael on beautiful music
When I start listening to him, I can't stop
I'm 27. This album was my whole childhood. My parents enjoyed his music and now I do. Love these memories
Same... I remember those roast afternoons. Gold times.
George michael was my friend I cried when he died
rakesh Naik oh I soooo cried wen it hit social media Christmas Morning 2016 I just went to the bathroom & really wept & wept,!!!❤️U George Michael!!!
It's such a shame we can only have memories, now.
where bouts u based? my first foreign casette as i was a 9 yrs old kid
This is a masterpiece! Brilliant note and effortless voice.. RIP George Michael
Yes, the modern chords (dissonant) and chord progressions are something you really don't hear too much of in these modern days. He knew how to compose music very well.
One of the beautifulest songs ever
Still so sad to think he’s gone. He had so much more to give...😞
Im drawn to this track , even though i cant possibly choose a favourite track , i love George and my only consolation is we still can hear that beautiful voice , this man was heaven sent (and heaven stole ❤️) 😭😭😭😭😭 xxx
This song at least deserve more than 50 million views.. simple amazing
well said.
George begleitet mich seit Jahrzehnten und es war ein Schock als er verstorben ist, aber ich höre nach wie vor seine Musik, seine positive Stimmung; seine Einzigartigkeit......er fehlt unheimlich
This album is so refined and shows a maturity not seen in the music biz these days. A very adult George Michael.
Long story short. I was in a fucked up place. This album saved my life. R.I.P. George..
first time hearing this song.... I love when I hear a song for the first time and immediately fall in love with it.... such a lovely melody..
how I felt and feel towards music
everyone of them
Most of his songs are timeless, i'm just 17 and started listening him only 9 months ago, but i'm sure i will be listening to his music for a very long 🥺
One of the most talented singers to have existed ... I had the chance to see him a few years ago in concert and he was flawless ... superb talent! The Older Album is my favourite.
@@mop714 unfortunately i’ve never met him, but it doesn’t matter, i love him, and no doubt he is genius👑
@@attackontitan_fan06 Of course ... I did not either ... my friend treated me to a concert for my birthday and it was George Michael, just about 4 years before he passed away. RIP
@@mop714 I miss him so much, he’s the greatest man🥺💔
@@attackontitan_fan06 He is of my generation and era, and along with David Bowie and Prince, it was quite shattering when all these guys passed away at a similar time. GM had a heart, he did so much for individuals and charities anonymously.
A spark of God was so obvious in you , now you are one with te holy flame , thank you George for your love
Floris Veldriet beautiful words!
Terrific Hypnotically Enchanting eastern style beautifully crafted dreamy song ........
I'm glad someone else gets the eastern vibe from the backing track...
I said that to a few folk & they didn't get my point..
Love this song.💜 & GM
As always Amazing..🎵
I just read, that the album Older didnt generate such an excitement in the US, like it did in UK (and Europe I d say).. No wonder, in the US quality music was never massively appreciated, they love Big Hits and Big Shows... George was an artist for fine ears... The Voice rest in peace ❤️
The problem was that the American pop music scene changed so much and he hadn’t released any new music in four years, which is a long time in American music. The music on the Older was considered more slight and less catchy than what Americans had long known him for. I also think people were also put off by his caesar haircut and goatee, that they likely found it too much of a gay stereotype. What helped the Older album do better in the UK and Europe, which had a different record label, were the remixes and B-sides on the singles and the fact that so many singles had been released. The promotion in Europe helped the album.
Eternal and fabulous George…
George Michael And fredie mercury the have the Best voice rip
Now they're making music in heaven.
both lyrics and melody are so close to perfection, astonishing
Missing him so bad
I’m on my seventeenths and I still falling in love with his song, although he’s been gone for so long ! I’m still enjoying his singing and missed this wonderful singer ! You left too soon .
Miss him so much. beautiful man, beautiful voice
Yes!!!
Yess
I feel the same as U do. I met him in his Rehab
I wish George knew how much he was truly loved, he was amazing. I feel he was god fearing at one point about his sexuality, for which he shouldn't have, & if Almonzo had survived I think George would still be with us I think that lossing his love just crushed his heart so much, more than we could ever imagine.
We loved you then George, we love you now & we always will. Ur Memory & Music will live forever. God bless you & all ur loved ones with u. What ever ur sexuality it never mattered & never will u was a beautiful strong Man. You will always be missed.
Ponekad su reci suvisne treba samo slusati ovu predivnu muziku i prepustiti se magiji koja te obuzme i osecaj je fantastican
Of all the beautiful songs he has written and sung, to me this is the epitome of his artistry. Sublime is the only fitting word to describe this gem. George Michael, you have been loved.
Couldn't agree more .. utterly beautiful
G. Noah K. New
Couldn't have said any better, tastefully worded
totally agree. this is one of my favourite george michael songs. it has a subtle dark magic about it.
So haunting. I get the feeling he was afraid to love again. I've been betrayed so this song resonates with me.
Like to keep lyrics at top
Strangest Thing
Take my life
Time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognize
People I care for
Take my dreams
Childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze
Please just be there for me
The things that I know
Nobody told me
The seeds that are sown
They still control me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is I cannot seem to get my eyes open
Take my hand
Lead me to some peaceful land
That I cannot find
Inside my head
Wake me with love
It's all I need
But in all this time
Still no one said
If I had not asked
Would you have told me
If you call this love
Why don't you hold me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is I cannot seem to get my eyes open
Give me something I can hold
Give me something to believe in
I am frightened for my soul, please, please
Make love to me, send love through me
Heal me with your crime
The only one who ever knew me,
We've wasted so much time
So much time
Leonard Substantia 。
Спасибо . Мне очень нравится эта песня . Это чудо .
Just a God given natural talent to create beautiful music
This album was part of my transition in to adulthood. So heavy.... Love you. Miss you George.
All of his songs touch your heart..i can't describe how much I love him
Hi Erika
same erika.
The jazz side of George was his true voice. Reminds me of days just listening and loving the words and that wonderful feeling that takes you over. RIP my friend.
i miss you george
Rest In Peace, Mr. George Michael 🙏😔
God I love this song and Album, miss you George, forever, I can only imagine what other classics you would have created for us all ❤😥
One of the best singers and Song writers of all time... This is one of my favorite albums of all time... Shame he was taking to soon... But he will live on forever true his music...
We missed you George. We really missed you………!!!! Your breathy voice was just magical..😞
Older immortal album immortal George and his immortal voice
Forever George Michael !
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
People.. What a voice he had, nobody came close in history.. Best voice ever, no doubt
His life was a sad slow song nobody can forget or wanna forget just cherish the moment to hear his voice don't ask where his soul is I'm guessing with his mom's he missed her to much to be anywhere but heaven .... fareal
George michael voice is like warm blanket covering your soul
This is just too good to be real. Thanks GM for all your beautiful songs.
Such a hugely talented man. He said his lyrics & music were his life if you wanted to know the real him, just listen. This album got me through the break up of a 5 year important relationship. I never actually meet but our paths crosse. He was a god send, if I was religious.
I love everyone who loves this song.
He was just the best.
Happy birthday, George ❤
No one will create music like George did ever again I love you brother.
Not in my lifetime. But I find consolation in his voice ... music, interviews, concerts. Thank god for CZcams.
Sleep tight gorgeous 💕 always alive in our hearts x
Hi Sue
In my memory forever ♥️😞
stupenda .......

Hai regalato all'umanità melodie inestimabili, che hanno accompagnato come colonne sonore la nostra vita, è stata una medicina per il nostro cuore. George, non sei morto, la tua musica è eterna e rivive in noi e in chi avrà il giusto animo per poterla cogliere ed apprezzare. RIP
Very strong...your world's
This song is so sensual It actually makes love to you, only George or Freddie Mercury had that ability to sing this way....
George died too soon ...he is irreplaceable ❤
Take my life
Time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognise
People i care for
Take my dreams
Childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyse
Please just be there for me
The things that i know
Nobody told me
The seeds that are sown
They still control me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is i cannot get my eyes open
Take my hand
Lead me to some peaceful land
That i cannot find
Inside my head
Wake me with love
It's all i need
But in all this time
Still no one said...
If i had not asked
Would you have told me
If you call this love
Why don't you hold me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is i cannot get my eyes open
Give me something i can hold
Give me something to believe in
I am frightened for my soul, please, please
Make love to me, send love through me
Heal me with your crime
The only one who ever knew me,
We've wasted so much time
So much time
Thank you for the beautiful words. Vote for George, Rock and hall of Fame 2023 US. Best to you.
This is my fave song of his all time and it's on my 247 playlist thanks georgy x
Sadly he did say those words to his first true love as he had reunited with her before he was passed. She had reminded him that their promise long ago before they had separated.
He was so talented great voice of all time ❤❤
Love this man 💖💖💖 you are missed George
We ALL miss him DEARLY. He WAS (1)☝️AMAZING MAN G.M😎😎
This song made in heaven
Misha Vish
He was indeed singing to the universe. His songs are prayers. 🙏
@@yogssoulmate9735 Your observations, so powerful & so true
@@LillianaBMS ❤
@@yogssoulmate9735 Same to you! I read your earlier commentary, thank you and I mean it from my heart! The later collections of masterpieces have been my honor to discover much later in my life, post the MTV 80's songs which, of course, everybody loves and remembers. He catches you initially with the layered musical compositions. Then the more one pays attention to the lyrics, the carefully selected words, this completes the path of the discovery. And as you stated so brilliantly, his songs have indeed become like prayers to the universe.
Every listening experience for me generates discovery! Both lyrically and musically. Genius. The balance between lulling one with these delicious melodies yet intriguing with these deeply touching lyrics, unveiling his commentaries on the complexity of life itself.
When one revisits the entire catalogue, one can only begin to piece together the understanding of the lyrics that are not just simple songs with terrific hooks, there is such incredible depth to the catalogue, they are, as you have said, prayers to the universe. Bringing connection to this complex human experience.
Sorry to drone on, but I find his lyrics to be powerful poetically. Even the most admirable and complex musical rock artists out there ( Led Zeppelin, ie) don't approach when it comes to the depth of the lyrical connection...
And this is where GM surpasses and soars...by letting us penetrate Yog's world, our world, life itself. Brilliant gifts to us :)
is
RIP George 😥🙏 Greatest male singer of all times.
GM magic!! This song is spellbinding!!
Older is such a great album..I loved his personality his honest self disclosure he felt comfortable with himself and therefore with everyone else…thru his whole self, his lyric, and music he gives us a peak.. he had passionate interest in experiencing, in living, in relating to people. If he had any fears his character and temperament obviated such fears…George is Golden in every way!
I love this. One of my definite faves from George’s later eras. It’s so ethereal. Calming, yet seductive and mysterious...
my fav too. love this album
A bit like George himself ... soulful.
My fav álbum!!!!
Perfect words you choose to describe this song 🙌
same
Thank you for your music George.
Michael said thx!
My mum and dad played this album on repeat.❤
My morning starts with your music ....A terrific voice your music will be enjoyed by our coming generations ...you have left legacy behind....timeless collections
this albums has absolutely everything.
perfection
This album is amazing, during the whole piece George only whispers. Astonishing
Are you struggling to get out of that dark hole you find yourself in? Have you tried, meds, doctors, group therapies and nothing seems to work? Has your family and friends given up on you? Don't worry, George Michael hasn't. Listen to this album and I guarantee you it'll help find your light again.
Omg,so true.I m 23 years old and after my breakup,i was just so much devastated that i tried to commit suicide..i tried everything to cope up with this situation..But nothing worked..Then one day i discovered George and the rest is history... I always think it was a blessing from Almighty who helped me to find out George Michael's music so that i could breathe again..i can't stop loving this man...i will always love him till my death...❤️
Yes!! Completely agree. This album makes me feel so alive, and George gives me such a sense of belonging
A voice as smooth as a bar of galaxy chocolate ever missed x
Thank you j,m for your music and the master pices you😔have left us all so that we can still here your voice god be with you j,m we lv you 🛸
Quelle voix, douce, puissante sans parler de la musique. Je ne lasse pas de l`écouter
This song just makes so much sense to me. George understand every emotion we go through in life. We all can relate to every song George wrote. Truly amazingly gifted he was and God willing he will never ever be forgotten. X
I will never ever forget him and his songs.
His lyrics were so relatable. Words can not do justice to what George's music means to me.
What a pleasure to be blessed with your music George. Always in miy mind George ❤️
Spot on !!!!
He was a healer x
Such a beautiful song ❤
I just watched the channel 4 documentary today called George Michel : outed.... Was so upsetting to watch. Bless George shame what the tabloid, press and public did and said about u. But your true fans love u so don't worry x
