Jackson's musical career began in 1967 as lead singer of The Jackson 5, when the group made their first recording with a local label before signing up with Motown Records in 1968. He made his first solo recordings in 1971 while still a member of the group. But it was Off the Wall (1979) which marked the start of his full-fledged solo career, and he formally parted with his siblings in 1984. In his solo career, Jackson recorded and co-produced the best-selling album of all time, Thriller (with worldwide sales over 100 million), received thirteen Grammy awards and charted thirteen #1 singles in the U.S. Throughout his four-decade career, Michael Jackson has been awarded numerous honors, including the World Music Awards Best-selling Pop Male Artist of the Millennium. He is also a double-inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1997, and in 2002 as a solo artist. He is also a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In the mid-1980s, TIME magazine described Jackson as "the hottest single phenomenon since Elvis Presley". He has had a notable impact on music and culture throughout the world while also tearing down racial barriers and paving the way for modern pop music.
From 1988 to 2005, Jackson lived on his Neverland Ranch property, on which he built an amusement park and private zoo for the enjoyment of economically disadvantaged and terminally ill children. In 1993 and 2003, separate accusations of child molestation that allegedly occurred in Neverland were made against Jackson, which drew intensely negative media coverage. While he was never charged for the first case, Jackson was tried and vindicated in 2005 of the latter allegation, but moved out of the US shortly thereafter. He later returned to Las Vegas in early 2007.
In the years following his acquittal, (2005-2009) Jackson made numerous public appearances including MTV Japan's VMA awards where he accepted the legends award; the World Music Awards where he accepted the Diamond Award for selling over 100 million records; James Brown's funeral where he paid tribute and delivered a sermon; and a fan appreciation event in Tokyo, Japan, where he greeted troops at US Army base Camp Zama. In early 2008, Jackson issued Thriller 25th Anniversary, a critical and commercial success that was the second-biggest selling album of 2008 with over 2.1 million copies sold worldwide.
On June 25, 2009, Jackson collapsed at a rented home in Holmby Hills in Los Angeles, California. The cause of death is currently believed to be cardiac arrest. At the time of his death, Jackson was scheduled to perform 50 sold-out concerts to over one million people, at London's O2 arena, from July 13, 2009, to March 6, 2010. During a press conference, Jackson made suggestions of possible retirement.
In the hours following Jackson's death, his record sales increased dramatically. His seminal album Thriller climbed to number one on the American iTunes music chart, while another eight made it into the top 40. In the UK, where Jackson would have performed less than three weeks after his death, fifteen of his albums occupied the top 15 spots on the Amazon music chart. Social music network website Last.fm also saw a dramatic increase in Michael Jackson plays per hour after the announcement of his death.
On December 10, 2010, a compilation album of previously unreleased material, simply entitled Michael, was released posthumously. Featuring guest performances by Akon, 50 Cent and Lenny Kravitz, the album was certified Platinum in 18 countries but received mixed reviews from most critics. This was followed in November 2011 by Immortal, a remix album; in September 2012 by Bad 25, a 25th anniversary reissue of Jackson's 1987 hit album Bad; and by Xscape, a second compilation album released in May 2014.

We've Got Forever
Michael Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forever
I'll plant you a garden
Of laughter and tears
With rain and with sunshine
Love will grow through the years
The dreams that we're dreaming
'Cause we've got forever
And forever is meant for so very few
We shall have music
We shall have rhyme
We shall have each other
One minute after the end of time
Oh, baby
Then we'll add up the pleasures
And treasure the sums
Caring is sharing
A cake and the crumbs
How lucky we are to be me and you
'Cause we've got forever
And forever is meant for so very few
We've got, we've got, we've got, we've got (me and you baby)
We've got, we've got, we've got (forever)
We've got, we've got, we've got
We've got, we've got, we've got (we've got a million tomorrows)
We've got, we've got, we've got (yeah, forever)
We've got, we've got, we've got
We've got, we've got, we've got
We've got, we've got, we've got (I know that we've got it)
We've got, we've got, we've got, we've got it
We've got, we've got, we've got (we've got it)
We've got, we've got, we've got
We've got, we've got, we've got
We've got, we've got, we've got, we've got
We've got, we've got, we've got (forever)
We've got, we've got, we've got
We've got, we've got, we've got (we've got a million)
The lyrics of Michael Jackson's song "We've Got Forever" are a beautiful love song that speaks more to the longevity of a relationship than the passion. The lyrics suggest that love, like a garden, needs to be cultivated over years – with both tears and sunshine – in order to grow and maintain a strong bond.
The opening line, "We've got forever" sets the tone for the song, implying that the relationship is eternal, and that the couple will always be together. The lyrics, "I'll plant you a garden of laughter and tears" suggest that the relationship will have ups and downs, but that there will always be love to navigate them.
The later lyrics speak more about the nature of the relationship the couple will have. The line "Caring is sharing, a cake and the crumbs" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the small things shared in a relationship are just as important as the grand gestures. The chorus repeats the idea of forever and sums up the sentiment of the song: "'Cause we've got forever, and forever is meant for so very few."
