Hello dear friends.

I hope you are all in good health, I am getting better and I feel more encouraged and liberated with God's favor.

They say that staying away from people who produce bad vibes helps your health and strengthens the immune system, I think they are right because it is something that I am applying for a couple of months and it works for me.

This song by Michael Jackson is an icon in the history of music, belonging to his second album as a soloist, is a single that consecrated Michael Jackson as a star at such a young age, after his departure from the band The Jackson Five.

Personally I associate it with friendship and brotherly feeling, empathy between human beings, although this theme is associated with rats, this is because it was the main theme of a movie Willard which talked about a rat, to be brief about the story of the film, it was about a boy who raised these animals in a cage and discovered that the animal ate his children. The lyrics of the song talk about a deep friendship, but it is only that it was chosen as the theme of the song, since the composer was not thinking about the movie as such, they are not related in that aspect, however, the choice of the song is because of the relationship of friendship that the main character has with the killer rat.

Being a fan of the music of the 70's and 80's, especially Michael Jackson, I make this small tribute not only to this great singer who has left us a great legacy, but because it is important to highlight the value of friendship. Personally, I am a very loyal friend, very grateful to the people who reach out to me, who listen to me and help me, who push me and lift me up in my falls and bear my mood swings. I am very selective, my circle that I consider true friends, those who are intimate and trust your things, is very small, but like any person, I am a friend of friends and I respect each one, so if there is a friction between one of them I demand that my decision is respected and I do not interfere in their dispute, unless I consider that one of the two is right and the other has a bad behavior.

Who does not love the songs of this singer? I always admired him because I knew he was a person who suffered a lot in silence and used his music as a form of catharsis, it was a way of escape from his pain. I not only identify with many of his songs but also with some aspects of his personality, quiet, simple, humble, sweet, nervous, kind, among others.

My husband is a big fan of this singer and asked me to dedicate it to him, I admire seeing his face with his eyes watering with emotion after my interpretation.

Hola queridos amigos.

Espero estén todos de buena salud, yo voy mejorando y me siento más animada y liberada con el favor de Dios.

Dicen que alejarse de las personas que te producen malas vibras ayudan a la salud y fortalecen el sistema inmune, creo que tienen razón pues es algo que estoy aplicando desde hace un par de meses y me funciona.

Esta canción de Michael Jackson es un ícono en la historia de la música, perteneciente a su segundo álbum como solista, es un sencillo que consagró a Michael Jackson como estrella a tan corta edad, a su salida de la banda The Jackson Five.

En lo personal la asocio con la amistad y el sentimiento fraternal, la empatía entre los seres humanos, a pesar que este tema es asociado con las ratas, esto se debe a que fue el tema principal de una película Willard del cual hablaba de una rata, para ser breve sobre la historia de la película, se trataba de un niño que criaba estos animales en una jaula y descubrió que dicho animal se comía a sus hijos. La letra de la canción que habla de una amistad profunda, pero es solo que fue elegida como tema de la misma, ya que el compositor no estaba pensando en la película como tal, no guardan relación alguna en ese aspecto, sin embargo, la elección de la misma es por la relación de amistad que tiene el protagonista con la rata asesina.

Siendo fan de la música de los 70 y 80, sobre todo de Michael Jackson, hago este pequeño tributo no solo a este gran cantante que nos ha dejado un gran legado, sino porque es importante resaltar el valor de la amistad. En lo personal soy una amiga muy leal, muy agradecida con las personas que me tienden la mano, quienes me escuchan y me ayudan, quienes me impulsan y levantan en mis caídas y soportan mis cambios de humor. Soy muy selectiva, mi círculo que considero de verdaderas amistades, esas que son íntimas y confías tus cosas, es muy reducido, pero al igual que cualquier persona, soy amiga a de amigos y respeto mucho a cada quien, por eso, si existe un roce entre uno de ellos exijo que sea respetada mi decisión y no me inmiscuyan en su disputa, salvo qué considere que uno de los dos tiene la razón y el otro tiene un mal proceder.

¿Quién no ama las canciones de este cantante? siempre lo admiré pues sabía que era una persona que sufría mucho en silencio y usaba su música como forma de catarsis, era una vía de escape a su dolor. No solo me identifico con muchas de sus canciones sino, con algunos aspectos de su personalidad, callado, sencillo, humilde, dulce, nervioso, bondadoso, entre otros.

Mi esposo es muy fan de este cantante y me pidió que se la dedicara, admiro ver su cara con los ojos aguados de sentimiento tras mi interpretación.

Mi video.gif

In the video I added some bloopers, it wasn't easy at all, I really don't know why I couldn't pronounce the first stanza well, I think it was because of my dyslexia, which after the last few attacks I've had has become a bit intense. If normally now I am a disaster in my language, I apologize for being a disaster in English, my intention is to pay tribute to the singer, to the beautiful feeling that this song gives us, to share a moment for eternity and to provide you with information about this piece of music.

Ben, performed by the late Michael Jackson, is a song written by Walter Scharf and Don Black, whose release belongs to his eponymous album whose release took place in 1972, although other references say it was at the end of 1971, just after his 13th birthday. He marked a success as a soloist at the age of 14, although he was already enjoying great success in the family musical group, he was undoubtedly the voice that stood out the most.

Michael, makes the allusion of the feeling towards a pet in the theme of the song, that runs from here to there, that is why in the album cover, he appears with a white dove in his hand (nothing to do with the rat of the movie in question).

En el vídeo agregué algunos bloopers, no fue nada sencillo, realmente no se por qué razón la primera estrofa no podía pronunciarla bien, creo que era por mi dislexia, que tras los últimos ataques que me han dado se ha puesto algo intensa. Si normalmente ahora soy un desastre en mi idioma, pido disculpas ser un desastre en ingles, mi intensión es hacer tributo al cantante, al sentimiento lindo que nos produce esta canción, que compartamos un momento para la eternidad y proporcionarles datos sobre esta pieza musical.

Ben, interpretada por el ya fallecido Michael Jackson, es una canción escrita por Walter Scharf y Don Black, cuyo lanzamiento pertenece a su disco homónimo cuyo lanzamiento tuvo lugar en el año 1972, aunque en otras referencias se dice que fue a finales de 1971, justo después de cumplir 13 años. Marcó un éxito como solista a la edad de 14 años, aunque ya venía disfrutando de mucho éxito en el grupo musical familiar, sin duda era la voz que más resaltaba.

Michael, hace la alusión de el sentimiento hacia una mascota en el tema de la canción, que corre de aquí para allá, es por ello que en la carátula del álbum, aparece con una paloma blanca en la mano (nada que ver con la rata de la película en cuestión).

Behind his big afro style hair, very fashionable at that time and an attractive personality like a magnet, a sweet voice and a beautiful friendly smile, Michael Jackson was conquering our hearts, and there after all the difficulties that this singer could go through personally and with justice, we become sympathetic and we call ourselves friends of MJ, because in many cases unfairly accused by people who only wanted to enjoy at the expense of his fame, money and what he himself by his own means has achieved ... Many of us identified ourselves.

Talking about the musical style of this song, it belongs to the Pop R&B genre, became a hit, an immediate success which was first place in all radio stations, reached awards such as the Golden Globe in the category of Best Song and nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song.

After a long career of musical successes that consecrated him as the king of pop, I dedicate my interpretation, a simple cover with piano in the background, to reaffirm the values of friendship and remember MJ sweetly, may he rest in peace.

Tras su gran cabellera estilo afro, muy de moda en aquellos tiempos y una personalidad atrayente como un imán, una voz dulce y una hermosa sonrisa amigable, Michael Jackson fue conquistando nuestros corazones, he allí tras todas las dificultades que pudo pasar este cantante en lo personal y con la justicia, nos hacemos solidarios y nos hacemos llamar amigos de MJ, pues en muchos casos acusado injustamente por gente que solo quería disfrutar acosta de su fama, dinero y aquello que él mismo por sus propios medios ha logrado... Muchos nos identificamos.

Hablando del estilo musical de esta canción, pertenece al género Pop R&B, se convirtió en un hit, un éxito inmediato el cual estuvo de primer lugar en todas las emisoras, alcanzó premios como el Globo de Oro en la categoría de Mejor canción y nominada para un Óscar por mejor canción original.

Tras una larga carrera de éxitos musicales que lo consagraron como el rey del pop, dedico mi interpretación, un cover sencillo con piano de fondo, para reafirmar los valores de amistad y recordar a MJ dulcemente, que descanse en paz.

Lyrics

"Ben"

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
(You've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
(Here and there)
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
(Anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(You've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"

Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(A friend)
Like Ben
(Like Ben)
Like Ben
