Breakfast club/Emmy

[dead or alive 10,425]

I am lost concerning the Breakfast club group and Emmy. Could someone say the titles for each group?

[Enrico 15,823]

The confusion comes because she brought to Emmy some of the songs she wrote for Breakfast Club, mainly Simon Says, Trouble and Hothouse Flower. Have you seen the documentary?? It really helps to understand.

Maybe @Bermucan help and clarify more... see his thread:

This list is not complete but is made to give you an idea.

 

BC SONGS

Shamrock Reel + Dan Girloy Bedroom tape

Tell the truth

I got trouble (Roll over it)

Over and over (Again and again, Moving along)

Hothouse flower

Simon says

Nobody wants to be alone

Oh oh the sky is blue

Cold wind (unreleased with Madonna's vocals)

Born to be a dancer (unreleased)

Danny's sing

Letter to daddy

Love express

 

PRE EMMY

(Could it be "Madonna and the sky" group with Gary Burke)

Source: Tape 1979 + MIA Shine a Light cd single

Not running from the city (instrumental only)

All my love

Shine a light (Hear me)

Little boy lost

Safe neighborhood

I'm a Prisoner (unreleased)

 

 

EMMY

Recording: Emmy First time out of Manhattan + PreMadonna

Love for tender

No time for love

Drowning

Bells ringing

Best girl

Nobody's fool

Do you?

Laught to keep from crying

This is great.  The cool thing, many of these songs are found on Youtube and have been passed around for years now.

Especially for Hothouse Flower, we can hear the original treatment in the Shamrock reel, and then the Emmy version featured in the doc In artificial light, and then we have the live recording from the Emmy period.

But we need to fill the gaps and to have the acoustic tapes from 1979 would help to better understand the transition from BC to Emmy. I am desperately trying to find this material but it's locked in the hands of collectors..

Those acoustic tapes would be interesting to hear.  We'll probably never hear those.  But who knows?

Damn these titles and the themes they imply are so her. She may have reinvented her image a thousand times but her themes have been forever the same.
