MICHAEL JACKSON

The “Giving Tree”, a tree in which Michael Jackson gets inspiration to write his songs.

“I called it my giving tree because it inspires me. I love climbing trees in general but this tree I loved the most because I climb up high and look down at its branches and I just love it… So many ideas. I’ve written so many songs from this tree. I wrote “Heal the World” in this tree, “Will you be there”, “Black or White”, “Childhood”. I love climbing trees. I think water balloon fights and climbing trees... those are two of my favorites.” – Michael Jackson
