Blackout19 10,448 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 This is one of my favorite songs from Madonna, of all time. I love the music video too. When it was released I though that the song will become one of the biggest songs from her. Her Grammy performance it was so gooood. Vino cu noi în bucătărie, adu cu tine și o farfurie.

River 104,863 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 It's not a bad song, but not a single worthy, it's kind of a mid-album filler I could play the moderator, I can ban you, die sis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruelty 5,887 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Reposting my review of L4L from last year’s Madonna rate, because she deserves it: UP! UP! UP! UP! This was about the time I became a Madonna fan. Honestly, asking my parents if I could use their Amazon account to buy Rebel Heart felt like coming out (they knew. Oh, they knew!) So maybe there’s some bias with my score of 9, but on the other hand: what a song! Sticky house bass, jangly 90s piano, euphoric choir: this combination cannot fail. After a couple of dodgy lead singles, Living for Love excels by simply being a serviceable bop: simplistic rather than simple, trend-chasing without being try-hard, impactful without relying on a feature. It doesn’t the break the mould, but it doesn’t need to. It’s Deeper and Deeper via Like a Prayer, 1990 via 2015, and it couldn’t be a more exuberant ride. This song provides the ‘heart’ in ‘rebel heart’; it’s both a breakup song and an optimistic paean to the power of love. In itself, that combination is rebellious, as Madonna acknowledged: “lots of people write about being in love and being happy or they write about having a broken heart and being inconsolable. But nobody writes about having a broken heart and being hopeful and triumphant afterwards. So I thought, how can I do this? I didn’t want to share the sentiment of being a victim. This scenario devastated me, but it just made me stronger”. After two failed marriages (see ‘Till Death Do Us Part’ and ‘Love Spent’) and countless long-dead relationships, how much must it take to keep believing in love? But, of course, Madonna will. This is a song about how there’s ALWAYS a reason to fight to carry on. And speaking of carrying on… now we must mention the Radio 1 ageism row. The Madonna ageism row is a spat so vicious it has its own Wikipedia page, provoked by BBC Radio 1’s refusal to playlist the single. Madonna alleged (correctly, tbh) that this was because of her age (56 at the time), and things snowballed from there. (I notice that she didn’t bother causing a fuss when Radio 1 snubbed Give Me All Your Luvin’; this is because she has correctly identified that that song is rancid). Rita Ora stuck her Covid-riddled oar in the water, Radio 1 had to thoroughly explain themselves, and ultimately M had to deign to visit our hellhole island (and get yanked down a staircase, no less!) in order to get the song in the charts. There are serious points to be made here about music industry ageism and Madonna’s evident keenness to keep up with her younger peers, but- hang on? Did I mention getting yanked down a staircase?! Ah, the Brits. The Brits. The gay NIGHTMARE of the Brit Awards! The memories. The trauma. The story is simple enough—a bow was tied too tightly on M’s cape, meaning she couldn’t remove it before the dancers dragged it down the stairs, taking our Queen with it. But NOTHING compares to watching it happen on the night. The CRACK as Madonna’s titanium exoskeleton hit the floor. The collective gay gasp, depleting the atmosphere of oxygen as everyone thought for a second that she might have just died. The euphoria when she got right back up and finished the performance (proving, much like fellow cape-wearer Count Dracula, that she is one of the undead). Truly it was our Second Coming of Christ, but with sequins. I'm gonna carry on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miichael 1,149 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Oh absolutely it deserved to be a big hit, but let's also not forgot "Ghosttown" aka one of her best songs since 2000 Born This Way Ball - 20/6/12 | artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball - 30/8/14 | LA To The Moon Tour - 2/4/2018 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
