Just a quick note on "I Want You"

It WAS slated to be the first single, the video came out, and then some drama ensued with Motown - cant remember but related to licensing and rights and stuff, and the single was scrapped and they moved immediately to "You'll See"

To be honest, I don't get all the hype this track gets. It's got a nice beat, sure, but it's not THAT great. It's got nice lyrics, but it's not ROL's most inspired moment. It's a nice, less abstract fun moment for the album, that sounds nicely done, but isn't much better than that. Top 50? Yes, I would however agree.

Truly underrated single, tbh. Even if it gets performed often, we forget about it all the time. A fantastic dance cut from a fantastic album, this was the first (and inferior) track to sample Vogue in it. It even has a flamenco break in it! I don't how they made it work, but yas! The most radio friendly thing from Erotica, I'm glad it went so far, but hasn't beat the title track.

This track alone was enough to make me reconsider 80's Madonna entirely. Her voice in this song is absolutely gorgeous, and the lyrics are everything that La Isla Bonita 2.0 should be. It's just so gorgeous, but it can't help but be outshined by the glossy dance numbers in her catalogue.

Now that I think, this IS the best from Evita. She's so into it, and her voice is delivering her best performance, possibly to date. It's a beautiful, romantic song from a fantastic musical. She did this song above and beyond justice, and I think it found its perfect place here.

Don't get me wrong, I adore this COADF track. The synths that come in after the first chorus are excellent, and the strings are really nice. The verse lyrics are fantastic, but the overall meaning of the song is a little difficult to grasp.

American Life's crowning achievement and best song. This stripped back folk song with the backing of a gospel choir is sweeter than a spoonful of honey. Madonna feels wonderfully natural here, and the result is awe-inspiring. Sadly, even with all the high rates, it wasn't enough to get it in the Top 30. So sad.

This song. The infamous one performance only Erotica single. I lover the lyrics here. The production is really nice. Her vocals deliver really well, but in the end, the song just isn't too special.

What a nice treat we got on Something To Remember. Great lyrics, nice, non-cheesy Latin feel, and GREAT vocals. This is post-breakup empowerment at it's classiest, tbh.

Another HeartBreakRound... I knew it from the start... baby please don't hurt me

So many beautiful ballads are going. But I knew.

This time I was scared to read....

:rip:

 

 

 

You'll see: the best empowerment song ever, it is paired now by Living for love.

 

Promise to try: I think there are many beautiful songs about death of a dear one, but they always say the same things. Take one of the greatest ever, Eric Clapton's Tears in heaven for instance. Madonna's song is so original, so deep, it says so many difficult things about forgetting and remembering. It is so sincere. In a certain way I am only a little unconfortable thinking of the use made in Truth or dare movie: I fear Christopher may be right... Can you show such a intimate moment as the visit to your mother's grave in front of the cameras? Still is one of the most touching scenes in the movie.

 

You must love me: so simple yet so perfect. The guitar rendition in S&S is simply awesome (even if sometimes it was slightly out of tune ). I've covered it many times and I can really feel it.

 

Spanish eyes: a beautiful songs about war and desaparecidos. One of M's most mature tracks.

 

Bad Girl: a nice ballad, fits perfectly in Erotica and gives a different side to the album. It would be nice to see it reworked acoustic and not electronic.

 

 

I'm in love with... Nothing Fails: one of the most underrated singles, not to make a proper video was a crime. But Madonna made a lot of mistakes in American Life promotion, and after the video withdrawn she seemed to have lost faith in the video format.... Also Hollywood and Love profusion are not that interesting. The original AL is pure perfection :clap:

 

Let It Will Be: I'm still confused with the title...

 

Deeper and Deeper: maybe Shep Pettibone was right and the Spanish break makes no sense, but it sounds so nice! And the Vogue citation is easy and cheesy but we all love it! And M knows it, so she reused the idea in Holy Water.... ooops!

:Madonna053:

 

 

I would have liked to hear Nothing really matters in the new tour, there were so many indiscretions about it being rehearsed... remember some posts a little too offensive? :mama010:

Yet the idea of the song is better explained in Drowned World and Rebel Heart, imo...
