A Place With No Name Michael Jackson – Here is a new song from the late Michael Jackson called “A Place with No Name” which samples America’s 1971 hit song “A Horse with No Name”. America’s current manager, Jim Morey, who was also Michael’s manager said:“The band was honored that Michael chose to do their song and they hope it becomes available for all Michael’s fans to hear.”
America's "A Horse With No Name""A Horse With No Name" was a song meant to compare the similarities and the beauty of the ocean to the desert. It gives a sense of a peaceful state of mind and was written to describe the artist's passion for xenophobic landscapes (as one of the members liked to visit the area around Vandenburg Air Force Base, California). America Sang, "The ocean is a desert with its life underground and a perfect disguise above", to explain that the ocean was much like a desert in the sense that both are barren, exposed to the sun, and uninhibited by (drinkable) water. The artist explicitly describes what he had seen on his journey, to convey the idea of wide open peacefulness, A sky with no clouds.
The launch, the second of three the base has scheduled for September, was the result of a team effort between the 30th Space Wing, the United Launch Alliance and the National Reconnaissance Office. [...]This evening's launch marked the 604th overall Atlas mission in U.S. history. The rocket carried a national security payload for the NRO.(USA-215)
It is significant to note that the NRO does not operate for the benefit of the US Government but for the British monarchy and Queen Elizabeth II.
Let’s talk instead about three other Laurel Canyon vocalists who will rise to dizzying heights of fame and fortune: Gerry Beckley, Dan Peek and Dewey Bunnell. Individually, these three names are probably unknown to virtually all readers; but collectively, as the band America, the three will score huge hits in the early ‘70s with such songs as “Ventura Highway,” “A Horse With No Name,” and the Wizard of Oz-themed “The Tin Man.” I guess I probably don’t need to add here that all three of these lads were products of the military/intelligence community. Beckley’s dad was the commander of the now-defunct West Ruislip USAF base near London, England, a facility deeply immersed in intelligence operations. Bunnell’s and Peek’s fathers were both career Air Force officers serving under Beckley’s dad at West Ruislip, which is where the three boys first met.
Is it correct in English to say: "without no name"?Shouldn't it be "with no name" or "without any name"?Doesn't "without no name" actually mean "with a name"? Just an off topic from a non-native English speaker... :oops:
Thanks for posting this song and video. I've always liked the song and I love Michael's version and the lyrics, it is beautiful.Every morning sun would rise Every night stars would come Every second we breathe oxygen I just wanna tell you there is A place with no name that's why I need you I always dream that I could fly up high But is just an imagination but you know That I'll be there for you just tell me that you love me [ From: You are not allowed to view links.

So, Andrea, Michael is actually singing: "Take me to a place with a name"? (we cannot interpret it as a "unnamed grave", I guess...) :?
I have been wanting to hear the full version as well. This was the best "full" version I could find. I love the dancing in this video too.[youtube:hfhul8ps]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbNUita8fn8&feature=related[/youtube:hfhul8ps]I always thought this song title was very interesting because it came out not too long after Michael "died". I always took this song to mean that he was in a place somewhere, without his own name, Michael Jackson, because to the world, "Michael Jackson" is dead. The song is technically called "A Place With No Name" (You are not allowed to view links.

Plus TMZ had released the snippet:Michael Jackson's Unreleased Song7/16/2009 10:55 AM PDT by TMZ Staff The song -- "A Place with No Name" -- sounds similar to the song "A Horse with No Name" released by the group America back in 1971. We're told several years ago America's manager gave his group's permission for Michael Jackson to record the song, "A Place with No Name" -- despite the similarity.America's current manager, Jim Morey, who was also Michael's manager in the late 80's and early 90's, tells us, "The band was honored that Michael chose to do their song and they hope it becomes available for all Michael's fans to hear."It's unclear when Michael recorded the song.

We're told Jackson particularly favored the name Omar Arnold.Here's how crazy it got: The L.A. County Coroner's office took Jackson's medical records from Dr. Arnold Klein last week. Law enforcement sources tell us, Klein used the name Omar Arnold on some of the files. We're told inside those files, the doctor refers to Jackson by his real name.In several cases where Dr. Klein treated Jackson under the name Omar Arnold, we're told he sent the singer to the Spalding Pain Medical Clinic in Beverly Hills, where he performed procedures on Jackson, who was given general anesthesia. But the files at Spalding referred to Jackson by an alias other than Omar Arnold. Our sources say the doctor who runs the surgery center made it easy on the Coroner and voluntarily handed over the files in question.Bottom line -- it's not that easy to track Jackson's treatment because of the phony names.You are not allowed to view links.
