I've always seen 'Future Lovers' as the song that introduces us to the heart of the album. After the carefree club bangers of 'Hung Up' and 'Sorry', the spoken lyrics calm us down and encourage us to listen to what Madonna has to say. We're told of a bigger, better, greater force; something like religion but not necessarily the same. As usual, the lyrics are ambiguous enough for us to form our own conclusions but, whatever the subject matter exactly is, it's a perfected state of being; a paradise. In fact, the song doesn't have to have such a deep meaning, it could be a description of the euphoria you feel when on the dance floor, with no worries of "administration, bills and loans", just seeking escapism in the music. And what music to find yourself lost in! The Donna Summer 'I Feel Love' sample feels much grander and polished than it did back in the 70s and is impressive even in comparison to the ABBA sample in 'Hung Up'.

 

Next Round: Tuesday 17 November

 

Round 05: Future Lovers (06/16; 37.50%)

Round 04: Like It or Not (09/15; 60.00%)

Round 03: How High (04/16; 25.00%, joint with 'Future Lovers', lost deadlock 08/13; 61.54%)

Round 02: I Love New York (04/16; 25.00%)

Round 01: Push (06/12; 50.00%)

Quite an easy choice in 'Get Together' for me now. Is somewhat lost between 'Hung Up' and 'Sorry' but, even as a stand alone song, it's the clear choice from that list.

It's between 'Let It Will Be' and 'Isaac' for me now but i went for the former.

 

I feel sick. :(

'Future Lovers' leaving before 'Isaac' is just plain wrong! What the hell?

'Let It Will Be' for me too.

 

the spoken lyrics calm us down and encourage us to listen to what Madonna has to say.

 

Right before what is lyrically the worst track on the album :lol:

 

Btw this is very random but my favorite lyric on the album is from 'Isaac'. ''Remember, remember, never forget, all of your life has all been a test''.

JESUS CHRIST, now we're going to lose the second best album track to SECOND WORST. I need to BUY YOU ALL NEW EARS.

How has this left ?

Poor 'Let It Will Be'. :( Still, if it keeps 'Isaac' in...

Someone voting for one of her best songs ever though.....

Issac
