It's not about pedophilia guys. When a woman finds a man that can be ALL she needs because she did not have a true Father figure in her life, this man takes that place in her life. Unfortunately, there are a LOT of people searching for that unconditional love they never had. It's not meant to be "weird", it's meant to be reassuring for her that she can be ALL she can be because he will be everything she needs - emotionally. 💗

@sadfaery Год назад

It's still creepy. It makes me think of my niece, who was s*xually abused by her stepfather from the ages of 12-14 and then ended up getting pregnant at 17 by a guy 4 years older than her who she described as being like a father figure to her. Although I found the lyrics to this creepy long before that.

One of the calling cards of a great songwriter, a talent George Michael possessed in spades, is having the ability to pen lyrics that are nuanced. The song “Father Figure” is a declaration of unconditional love and a promise that I’ll be all you need if you’ll just open your heart to me. The title and lyric ‘father figure’ isn’t meant to be taken literally, it’s a metaphor. “Father Figure” is an absolute classic!

It’s so so good. It was released as part of short LP and as a single, where it even got Queen on the charts in the US. It got tons of airplay during the age of Nirvana. It gave me goosebumps every single time I heard it. ❤️

@rvzomeren01 Год назад

In his documentary Freedom he tells that at that Live-Aid performance he recently found out that his lover also had HIV. So George Michael had to sing about having someone to love, on a tribute to someone who died of HIV-Aids, while having just found out his lover is probably going to die soon.......

@rosamiller8687 Год назад

I really feel that the current generation is not exposed to enough poetry in lyrics. Musicians of the past seemed to possess different writing chops. it just was a different era for song writing. Most of those lyrics are not to be taken literally. There is a meaning behind all of it. George wrote about an all consuming love . Nothing in appropriate. The li ne, "put your tiny hand in mine" is just a woman's delicate smaller hand in a man's. George was a exceptional songwriter. He won several song writing awards and was honored by being the most played artist for 20 years straight on British radio.There's a reason this man has sold over a hundred and twenty million records.

Hard to believe you've only done George four times, his is a catalogue you need to dive deeper into!

Another great artist we lost too early.

When he says, "the eyes of a child", he means, without the cynicism of an adult who is expecting to be lied to and hurt. Also, "sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime", you'd have to remember that at this point, he wasn't out as gay, which is still a crime in some places, sadly.

Amber for Female Friday check out Aretha Franklin’s duet with George Michael “I Knew You Were Waiting”. For J looking for an uptempo track, George’s massive hits “Freedom 90”, “Fastlove” or his first big hit as a solo artist “Faith”. He covered Elton John’s track “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me” and Elton was in the live concert video version of the song duetting with George while playing piano. My goodness, you guys are at the beginning of diving into George’s catalog! His collab with Queen on “Somebody to Love” is amazing and “Monkey” is pure 80s dance/pop at its best. I was fortunate to see him in concert twice at Madison Square Garden and the shows were a blend of pop, R&B, soul and dance. Such energy and talent! The crowds were wild for him and after dancing my tush off all night, I was thoroughly spent by the end of those shows!!😅❤😊

@murraytown4 Год назад

You don’t do enough George Michael. His last album - Patience - was priceless. Listen to Precious Box - probably my favourite song of his. It’s a long track but is an extremely poignant and haunting story of isolation, loneliness and shallow and rampant excess. This is one of George’s most up tempo and danceable tracks but that belies the song’s darkness and melancholy. It’s very frothy but deep. It’s very 2000s, with its house and electronic vibe. John and Elvis are Dead is a wonderful tribute track, along with Amazing.

One his his best and most atmospheric songs, along with ‘Jesus to a child’. The lyrics have depth and can be misinterpreted. The Gospel influenced chorus is genius. There was always much more to George than the simple singalong pop compositions of Wham. R.I.P ❤❤

Father Figure is one of the first songs I heard from George Michael maybe a decade ago. It's such a unique song and he hooks you the minute you hear the music and his voice. I did a deeper dive on George Michael after hearing this and have been a huge fan ever since.

George is one of the best. You can't go wrong with songs from his Faith album. It won many awards in including the AMA R&B album of the year.Also, he did several duets with strong female voices, Aretha, Mary J and Whitney!

No matter what musical genre each of us prefers (mine is Heavy Rock) here in the UK we all loved George Michael.

George has a great voice, give One More Try a whirl

You guys are weirded out by the sentiment he’s conveying, and that’s exactly the point, it’s supposed to be uncomfortable. The relationship isn’t built together as a partnership, he wants to be the only one to build it, the father figure. This is probably the best song he’s ever written, so poetic and heartbreaking.

This is my favorite George Michael song, and it's not even close.

My absolute favorite GM song. Moody, vibey, dark. Just love the whole thing and the video is really well made and tells a disturbing story.

What a wonderful voice and a great man! He definitely was a loss to the world and he could write and sing amazingly.

@blackwolf6082 Год назад

Love the vibe of this song and the music

Guys, maybe to understand what the father figure has to do with the song, you would need to dig a bit in psycology and what influences our choice of partners during our entire life. Hint: Oedipus complex to start. Only a genius like GM could bring this kind of subject to a song. It is not for nothing that he’s know as one of the best songwriters of last century. Not to mention that his vocals absolutely kills.

I honestly believe a lot of them were about men but he cloaked it well. Teacher, etc. until he finally was outed and handled that spectacularly well. I love fast love/older.

@thereseelizabethries1083 Год назад

Absolutely

I saw WHAM twice and George as a solo artist once. When he came to Chicago, they mentioned it on all the TV stations that weekend. He was just PHENOMENAL!! I'm grateful I got to see him (them) in concert. My Mom loved him too!!

This song made a lot more sense when he finally came out. I invite you to take into consideration how old this song is and what it was like for gay male celebrities (and the lgbtq+ community) back then. There are lyrics in this song which seem weird today, but back then it was part of a subculture the gen pop never even thought existed. We have slang today which wouldn't have made sense back then as well. Things evolve though. Back then, there was no alphabet mafia. There were gays and lesbians. So this song, while some of the terminology has dated it, is just another song about love.

George Michael was such a greatly talented singer and song writer! I still listen to George because he can sing his arse off! Great singer and song writer! I wonder if he will be voted into the Rock & Roll HOF! I say yes he should be!! I also enjoy the videos with the nice looking model's!

Father Figure is my favorite George Michael song. I love the sinewy, sensual aspect of the music and little keyboard phrase in the minor key. The song has an aura of mystery about it. The title is not to be taken literally. Since I Am not a parent I never considered that point of view. The singer is a wise and gentle soul who is in love with someone who has suffered and been betrayed, who is therefore fragile. Reluctant. He is offering safety, faithfulness and stability, which are qualities one might find in a father figure. Someone who will create something warm and sacred. He conveys this with the light and breathy delivery of the lyrics in the verses. He's attempting to encourage rather than deduce. It's quite beautiful. My other favorites from that era were Faith and the spectacular Freedom 90 whose video was a sensation. Also there's I Knew You Were Waiting, a duet with Aretha Franklin.

Another great George Michael solo song is 'Too Funky' :)

George Michael and Aretha Franklin, I Knew You Were Waiting. You’ll love it!!❤

George is up for public nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. A great voice and undeniable talent who deserves to be there with the other greats. You can vote for him at the Hall of Fame Web page.
