New Michael Jackson Video Filmed Yesterday

A video for "Hold My Hand, the first official single from the forthcoming Michael Jackson album, was filmed on Monday and will have a "heavenly" theme, according to TMZ.

The clip was filmed in an airplane hangar in Tustin, California, and involved a number of extras, several of whom were "die-hard MJ fans." The extras were asked walk into the darkened hangar toward a single bright light, which one source said was to symbolize a journey into heaven.

The report did not say whether Akon, Jackson's collaborator on the song, will be involved in the video.

Last week a previously unreleased video for Jackson's 2003 song "One More Chance" was posted on his official website. Michael, a collection of unreleased studio recordings, is slated for release on December 14.

“Let My Love Open the Door”

Pete Townshend | 1980

A peppy, hopeful love song, "Let My Love Open the Door" became a U. S. Top Ten hit for Pete Townshend in 1980, anchored by the kind of repeating synthesizer figures that he'd used in some of the Who's recordings in the previous decade. Although Townshend brushed the song off as "just a ditty" in Rolling Stone shortly after its release, in 1996 he revealed it was about love of the holiest sort. "It's supposed to be about the power of God's love," he remarked. "That when you're in difficulty, whether it's major or minor, God's love is always there for you."
