George Michael - One More Try

Anyone else agree this is one of George's shining moments? One of his best songs by far, ive caught myself hearin this lately, and although the words are very true, its just a very beautiful honest song. congrats george. lets hope for simular songs in truth on his next album.

great song!! he's an amazing vocalist... i can't wait to hear his new album.

My favorite vocals from him are probably Jesus to a child. Boring song, but beautiful vocal performance.

Was just listening to this the other day...He put his heart and soul into the vocals on that one...You can tell by listening...He said in his liner notes for Faith that the songs were the results of some things he had experienced over the course of two years prior to that album Faith coming out. It definitely sounded as if he was aiming this one at a certain someone...

Sorry Justin...George Michael is the original funky white boy.

Great song! thumbs up! It even topped the R&B charts back in the day with this. He might've been the first white artist to do it too. So he was a hit with the Pop audiences and the Soul audiences too.

Great song but I still gotta go with A Different Corner of The edge of Heaven album (Wham)...As great as the Faith album was I think Listen without Predjudice is his shining moment. Waiting for the Day still takes me back to a "moment" and will be my GM song...

Waiting For That Day Lyrics

So every day I see you in some other face
They crack a smile, talk a while
Try to take your place
My memory serves me far too well

I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myself
You're a fool boy
Why don't you go down
Find somebody
Find somebody else
My memory serves me far too well

It's not as though we just broke up
It's not as though it was yesterday
But something I just can't explain
Something in me needs this pain
I know I'll never see your face again

C'mon now
I've got to be strong now

Now everybody's talking about this new decade
Like you say the magic numbers
Then just say goodbye to
The stupid mistakes you made
Oh my memory serves me far too well

Don't you know that
The years will come and go
Some of us will change our lives
Some of us still have nothing to show
Nothing baby
But memories

And if these wounds
They are self-inflicted
I don't really know
How my poor heart could have protected me
But if I have to carry this pain
If you will not share the blame
I deserve to see your face again

C'mon now
You don't have to be so strong now
Come back

Come back to me darling
I will make it worth your while
Come back to your baby
I miss your kiss
I miss your smile
Seems to me the peace I search to find
Ain't going to be mine until you say you will
Don't you keep me waiting for that day
I know, I know, I know
You hear these words that I say

You can't always get what you want

George rules! He is a truly talented man. I love all his music! "Waiting for the day" is my number 1 favourite from him.

It's okay. I think I'd like it a lot more if it was either remastered or re-recorded. Something about the sound just isn't quite right. confused
