Bluer Than Blue

Michael Jackson · Other Songs - Michael Jackson

After you go

I can catch up on my reading

After you go

I'll have a lot more time for sleeping

And when you're gone it looks like things

Are gonna be a lot easier

Life will be a breeze, you know

I really should be glad

But I'm bluer than blue

Sadder than sad

You're the only light

This empty room has ever had

Life without you is gonna be

Bluer than blue

After you go

I'll have a lot more room in my closet

After you go

I'll stay out all night long if I feel like it

And when you're gone

I can run through the house screaming

And no one will ever hear me

I really should be glad

But I'm bluer than blue

Sadder than sad

You're the only light

This empty room has ever had

Life without you is gonna be

Bluer than blue

I don't have to miss no TV shows

I can start my whole life over

Change the numbers on my telephone

But the nights will sure be colder, and I'm ...

Bluer than blue

Sadder than sad

You're the only light

This empty room has ever had

Life without you is gonna be

Bluer than blue

Bluer than blue

Bluer Than Blue

Michael Jackson's "Bluer Than Blue" stands as a poignant exploration of grief and loss, delivered with his signature vocal precision and emotional depth. Released in 1992, the track serves as a companion piece to the iconic "Earth Song," both appearing on the "HIStory" era discography. While "Earth Song" addresses environmental destruction, "Bluer Than Blue" delves into the personal sorrow of a father mourning his son, reflecting the artist's own experiences. The song's haunting melody and Jackson's raw delivery created a powerful moment in his later career, reinforcing his reputation as a master of emotional storytelling. It remains a significant song in his catalog, showcasing his ability to blend pop sensibilities with profound social and personal commentary.
