These five minutes we got here are the music video for the George Michael song Careless Whisper and this one was released back in 1984, a very special year indeed also for me personally, which is why I am finally glad I found a "short film" from that year that really managed to impress me. It took a while. Michael was at the tender age of 20/21 here, but his voice sounds a lot more experiences. The tune is of course really well-known today and deserves to be used for better stuff than sleazy soft-core porn. And the song as a whole is truly catchy too, I totally enjoyed the listen here and yes it seems to get better the older it gets. This song is one of the main reasons why I am such a big George Michael fan. Did he have the greatest voice on the planet? Maybe not, but his voice sounds so unique and it really is one of a kind. Shame he had to die so early, but I truly hope he finally found his piece up there with all the others. And this list also includes Duncan Gibbins who sadly died at an even younger age than Michael and he is the director of this video. Semi-famous actress Lisa Stahl who you will see in here too is still very much alive luckily. Back to the video: I think the visual side fits well together with what we hear and it does not need to be on an equally extraordinary level like what you hear in order for these five minutes to become a tremendous success. There is also something really defining about 80s pop music in here and it's tough to point out what it is exactly. Just watch and listen for yourself as I highly recommend you to check it out.

George Michael on writing the song
livinglifing16 August 2017
I was on my way to DJ at the Bel Air when I wrote "Careless Whisper". I have always written on buses, trains and in cars. It always happens on journeys. With "Careless Whisper" I remember EXACTLY where it first came to me, where I came up with the sax line. I can remember very vaguely where I was when I wrote things after Wham! got off the ground--but with "Careless Whisper" I remember exactly the time and place. I know it sounds really weird and a kind of romantic thing to say--but I remember exactly where it happened, where I was sitting on the bus, how I continued and everything. I remember I was handing the money over to the guy on the bus and I got this line, the sax line: der-der-der-der, der-der-der-der. Then he moved away and I continued writing it in my head. I wrote it totally in my head. I worked on it for about three months in my head...

¿Who in the hell thinks that Careless Whisper is a sexual song?
in my point of view, this song goes more deep than only tooks love elements.
i love this song, it remembers me a lot of every single moment of my past.
Sorry! but i can't go with the idea who treat this song as a porn song.
that's completely wrong! i say it because, every George Michael song is nostalgic.
even every Wham! song too. George just have something in his beautiful voice.
i don't know how to describe it, but this song is a total masterpiece!
my favorite song of all time is this!
So sad that people uses this song for do sexual thing, when this song is more nostalgic and not so sexual, please people, listen to this song very carefully!
