Got a little closer~ to a guy last night through the power of Madonna. He remembered me from a previous night out because i lectured him about Madonna for a while and i went on to do the same last night too :lol: i don't remember doing it the first time but i said that that definitely sounds like me :kink:

 

Anyway i have had 'Oh Father' in my head all morning. So achingly beautiful :(

Absolutely adore 'Oh Father', I think anyone could identify their own experiences with its lyrics, even if it doesn't match the song's actual meaning.

:lol: i literally judge everyone i meet on how much they like Madonna. I threw a diva strop at one last night because he said that Nicki Minaj was more iconic than Madonna :kink: (he was deliberately trying to wind me up looking back lol :/)

 

Completely agree about 'Oh Father'. I listen to it, and though i can't relate directly to the meaning behind the song, there are so many things i take from it about my own experiences. Such a true and honest song. The 'Like A Prayer' ballads are all lovely, 'Promise to Try' being the other big beauty.

Haha! :lol: But to be fair, that's not even something that's acceptable as a joke, never mind as a serious comment!

 

I think Like a Prayer was the album that confirmed Madonna as so much more than just a big pop act. It's pretty skillful to touch everyone's personal experiences in a song without just being generic about it. I think Madonna's always been at her best with these types of ballads. :wub:

Had a little boogie to Benny Benassi's mix of 'Celebration' last night when it surprisingly came on the TV! :dance: Sounded so good but I don't think anyone else took much notice.

Love Don't Here Anymore

 

Utter gorgeousness.

Great song !!.

I've been playing Take a Bow a lot recently.

 

Madonna's vocal on this is beautiful. I love M's ballads but is one in particular has such sweet sounding vocal mixed with the harmonies.

Plus I love Babyface.

Love Don't Here Anymore

 

Utter gorgeousness.

 

Which version? the 80's version of the 90's version or maybe both??

 

Papa Don't Preach is my all time favourite song. I listen to it almost every day. :wub:

Frozen. Maybe it's not her best vocally, but the music is perfection :wub: I always get goosebumps listening to it

Papa Don't Preach is my all time favourite song. I listen to it almost every day. :wub:

It's firmly in my top 3 from her now after i previously didn't rate it as highly. Had a very special meaning for me last summer as it was the song that helped push me to coming out to my mum :cry:

I am REALLY getting into 'Music' (album) this past week. I previously just used it for the singles, 'Impressive Instant' and 'Runaway Lover', but there are so many other gems creeping up on me now. She really should have released more as singles.

 

The biggest one to hit me is 'I Deserve It'. The fact it comes after the stupendous duo of 'Impressive Instant' and 'Runaway Lover' (two of her very best album tracks) makes that a complete 11/10 trio run.

 

 

:wub:

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! I went through a period last year where I was obsessed with the album too - I used to just pass it off as an album where she experimented a bit too much with auto-tune but it's so much more than that. 'I Deserve It' became one of my favourites too, along with 'Paradise' and 'Gone' - really intimate moments and they're stripped back enough to pay attention to the lyrics. I think Music now holds a place in my Top 5 Madonna albums.

It's climbing up for me too. Will never be able to touch my holy trinity of 'Confessions...', 'Ray of Light' and 'True Blue' but it's top 5 for me too i think. I'm not keen on 'Paradise', it's a tad TOO jarring and i need to be in the right mood for it, but everything else is sublime. As an album it's very cohesive.

Yeah, Confessions and Ray of Light remain untouchable for me too. I'd probably Like a Prayer in my Top 5 but haven't decided what could complete it!

 

I agree about being in the right mood for 'Paradise' but I find myself in that mood a lot anyway! :P Sounds particularly good when chilling on a night.

I've also become a bigger fan of Music over the last few months. Paradise is something I have to be in the right mood for, although the Confessions version was amazing. I'm with you Bal, I Deserve It is absolutely gorgeous, one of my favourite M album tracks.

 

I also think Don't Tell Me is her most underrated big hit single from the post-RoL era. Those guitar chords hook me instantly.

Agreed. I've been appreciating it a lot more in recent times. I think the fact it's so unique in her singles discography makes it more special, but that said it's the right route of music that Madonna could/should go down again at this stage of her career.

Isaac

 

*.* I adore this song so much. Easily in my top 5 Madge songs. Having a Confessions sesh, actually forgot how much I adored it back when it came out, could well

rise up the ranks and overtake MDNA soon enough for me.

I got the impression you didn't like Confessions but I'm glad to be proven wrong! 'Isaac' is perhaps my favourite non-single from the album (tussle between that and 'Let It Will Be') although I don't think I always liked it. I seem to remember be put off by the foreign vocals (Wiki tells me this is Yemenite language) I've grown to appreciate them and the song is perfection musically; I particularly like that drop around the 4:40 mark.
