Die Another Day is not even a song... it's a clutter of production with cool strings and some pretentious nonsense ego talk over it.... and vocodered to talk about ego and spirituality? fakery to talk about honesty? LOL the irony ... I think the producer played a joke on her

While I adore this song for being cool and fun it;s completely misplaced on the album. It should have been a bonus track. While it can fit with the theme of the album it’s really weird listening to this after Mother And Father. Great song though. - @Bio

 

I absolutely agree with this comment, except for it being "cool and fun"

Cute. But forgettable. - @Antonio

If I could have given another 11, I would have given it to this song - @DevilHeart

Hauting song, sounds absolutely beautiful. Best song to cry to. It's also a nice closer. Like a plan on how to move on from the issues the album explores. Too bad her wishes lead her to go round and round just like a circle. There's not really a way she can live forever or know everything, unless she accepts the existent of a higher power, which she eventually does. In a way it sort of lifts you up from the ground and makes you think of the "after life" if there is such thing, freeing you from the album and leaving you with the desire of taking action and making a change.  - @Johny Wayne

Album closer, "Easy Ride" is worthy in its necessary summation of the album's message.   Like the last card in a Tarot reading, this track is the final overview.  She's defiant in who she is, where she's been and where it's going, round and round to home.  It's a fairly basic song until the chorus births the full life.  But it's the final minute or so that's deserving of 10 stars alone.  The strings break apart and the drum follows creating it's own unique jam session that's impossible not to bounce your head to.  In that final minute, the music ends up dancing to its own beat....much like Madonna and her American dream itself.   And she didn't have to change her name to get there either. - @MonsterJames333

I like this song but it’s such a disappointing ending for a brilliant album. I also don’t get what she means with the term "Easy Ride”. It’s weird that an album about the american dream finishes with a song about meritocracy being a good thing? Isn’t being white and coming from a middle class italian family considered an easy ride? Am I reading too much into this? Probably. But I just wish this album would have a greater ending. - @Bio

This is the track that sums up the whole vibe of the album. It's a song that is suited better for a live performance than a studio cut tbh cause it's too long. - @Dr Evil
