Appreciation Toward “One Day in Your Life” by Michael Jackson

Appreciation Toward “One Day in Your Life” by Michael Jackson

Lyrics:

One day in your life

You'll remember a place

Someone touching your face

You'll come back and you'll look around, you'll

One day in your life

You'll remember the love you found here

You'll remember me, somehow


Though you don't need me now


I will stay in your heart


And when things fall apart


You'll remember one day






One day in your life


When you find that you're always waiting


For a love we used to share


Just call my name, and I'll be there






You'll remember me, somehow


Though you don't need me now


I will stay in your heart


And when things fall apart


You'll remember one day






One day in your life


When you find that you're always lonely


For a love we used to share


Just call my name, and I'll be there





The man told in this story is a romantic man, he keeps waiting for his woman who has left him alone. As he believes in one love, the woman, but actually he is in an endless waiting, almost useless. He is not good, logically, but he is very good in love point of view. I dislike that man in this song because there’s proverb states: “Love will find you if you try to.” If the man just waiting for her without any effort, he will get nothing.



The story happened at their special place. It can be the place where they were first meet or the place where they find their love. That is a memorial place. I like the setting. Because it seems the place has deep impression for them. As a listener, I can imagine how great, wonderful, and beautiful the place which is described in the song. I also can feel the happiness of that place.


The story in the song can be good thing and bad thing. One of them is waiting another and shown his greatest love. He loves her so much. It said good thing because the man shown his loyalty for the woman. But that good thing has a negative side. It is the blindness of the man. We think it is not a true love because the love is just from one side (the man).



The story is reasonable. This song illustrates a love story that we think of it really rare to occur in our life. A man that still depended and thought for a love which had made his heart broken. I estimate that the man was left by the woman because of something. The things could be the third person or probably the woman thought that the man was not the right one. However, he said that the love for the woman would stand still in her heart.

This song is figurative. The lyrics distinguish invisible meanings. There are many simple sentences but they show complicated aims. The song writer identified what the man in the story felt, about his feeling, his struggle to take his love back. If we can catch the meanings of the story, we will be sympathetic to the man as his heart still went on although the girl has made him disappointed. We will judge the man a good man, but in another case we find him as a stupid man since he was trapped in a vague love for the woman.

Event in the story that very important is: “And when things fall apart, you’ll remember one day …” because it is really full of meaning. It describes the character of woman who really hard to touch her heart. That’s why the writer make parable that the woman will be remember one day just when things fall apart.

The event in the story that very important is when they were still together. They had great love and when they spend their time at their special place.
