The challenge looks simple enough but in reality it’s anything but that. For the first category alone, there are so many choices. Till today, the whole You Can Dance LP is my go to when I work out and boy, do I love to blast the music loud when I work out. Of course there are times when I’m relaxing in my man cave and I would full blast music like Hearts’ If Looks Could Kill. Among the many Madonna songs that I love blasting when working out, relaxing in my man cave or simply taking a long drive, these are the main contenders for this category:

Beat Goes On

Heartbeat

Best Night

Hold Tight

Impressive Instant

Sky Fits Heaven

Girl Gone Wild

Animal

After much consideration, the winner is Hold Tight.

Hold Tight is reflective and somber. Them booming military drums is LIFE! I love the euphoric tribal chorus, atmospheric keyboards, military drums and flourishes of pastel electronics. And I love the effect of Madonna's voice on "Everything's gonna..." It almost sounds like she's right behind you. With the lyrical message on love triumphing through tough times by holding onto one another and being strong, blasting this song helps feed my soul.

We live with no limits

We'll dance in the middle of the freezing rain

With you and I in it

Survive the eye of a hurricane

Together, we're gonna make this better

We're gonna be alright tonight

Hold tight, as long as you're by my side

Hold tight, everything's gonna be alright

Only love, only love tonight

Like stars, we're burning so bright

Hold tight, everything's gonna be alright

A Madonna Song that is for the Shower.

I look at this in 2 ways:

1. A Madonna Song that I like to sing in the shower

2. A Madonna song that is water themed with different symbolisms.

For the first, I have no definitive answer as any Madonna song is good for my shower singing.

So I’ll go with the second option as it narrows down the list tremendously. 

The contenders are:

Rain

Swim

Wash All Over Me

Winner: Rain

My interpretation: This was my favorite the first time I listened to the Erotica album. I love her evoked emotion in this song. I identify the water with love, a purifying force that takes away sorrow and pain, but at the same time it brings hope for the future. I love the lyrics as they create beautiful and vivid spiritual images as well. It implies hope as turbulent elements associated with rain such as thunder eventually clear and produce clarity and happiness. This song captures this as well, notably with orchestral stabs that invokes crisp lightning bolts, and a surging bridge segue driven by what sounds like electric guitar snarls. After this brief hint of strife, the song clears up again: Madonna trills “Here comes the sun” several times, a signal that the clouds have parted, the storms are gone, and what’s left is a glorious sense of renewal. 

Of course, there’s a carnal interpretation of the song which I’m not going to delve in.

Rain is what this thunder brings

For the first time I can hear my heart sing

Call me a fool but I know I'm not

I'm gonna stand out here on the mountain top

Till I feel your

Rain
