Vocals: Michael Jackson (distinguished by his bright, high-pitched timbre, characteristic vibrato, and dynamic "hiccups" or *staccato* style). Themes: Apocalypse (the sky falling, people dying, disease, loss, etc.). Instruments: Piano, violin, and synthesizers. The song and its instrumental arrangement are melancholic and convey a sense of solitude: a sad, lonely song.
