Silent night book hodges12/10/2023 ![]() ![]() Jane found out about her and got rid of me. But I started another relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. The whole idea of "Careless Whisper" was the first girl finding out about the second – which she never did. And I remember my sisters used to give me a hard time because they found out and they really liked the first girl. I thought I was being smart – I had gone from being a total loser to being a two-timer. So I went out with her for a couple of months but I didn't stop seeing Helen. "And the girl who didn't even see me when I was twelve invited me in," he noted. Michael observed that after he stopped wearing glasses, he began getting invited to parties. She invited me in one day when I was waiting for my lift and I was. By this time she was that much older and a big buxom thing – and eventually I started seeing her. Then we played a school disco with the Executive and she saw me singing and decided she fancied me. It was a few years later and I looked a lot different. And one day I saw her walk down the path next to me and I thought – now where did SHE come from? She didn't know it was me. She had moved in right next to where I used to stand and wait for my next-door neighbour, who used to give me a lift home from school. It had just started to cool off a bit when I discovered that the blonde girl from Queensway had moved in just around the corner from my school. "A few years later, when I was sixteen, I had my first relationship with a girl called Helen," Michael continued. My sister used to go and do what she wanted when we got to the skating rink and I would spend the afternoon swooning over this girl Jane." I was a fat boy in glasses and I had a big crush on her-though I didn't stand a chance. "There was a girl there with long blonde hair whose name was Jane. "When I was twelve, thirteen, I used to have to chaperone my sister, who was two years older, to an ice rink at Queensway in London," he explained. I worked on it for about three months in my head." I remember I was handing the money over to the guy on the bus and I got this line, the sax line. With 'Careless Whisper' I remember exactly where it first came to me, where I came up with the sax line. I have always written on buses, trains and in cars. Michael wrote, "I was on my way to DJ at the Bel Air when I wrote 'Careless Whisper'. Michael explained in his autobiography, Bare, that he conceptualised "Careless Whisper" based on events from his childhood. In 1981, Michael was working as a DJ at the Bel Air Restaurant in Northwood, London near Bushey, Hertfordshire. Problems playing this file? See media help. The song later achieved popularity on social media, mainly due to the saxophone riff being used as a popular internet meme. It became a commercial success, topping record charts in at least ten countries and selling about 6 million copies worldwide-2 million of them in the United States. A contemporary pop song with R&B and soul influences, it features a prominent saxophone riff composed by Michael and played by Steve Gregory.
