Guest Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I don't think that song is about America at all. It's about the individual finding it's own true place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 No one's telling you how to live your life But it's a setup until you're fed up You know its funny how you can listen to a lyric for years and not have it click with you about what it means until way later. Since this is from her American Life album I am guessing its aimed at America. How we are the land of the "free" (which she touched on in her recent speech) but how free are we really? The moment we are born we have all these expectations thrown at us by society. Go to school. Get good grades. Go to college. Get a good 9 to 5 job. Get married. Have kids. Consume a bunch of shit. Buy a bunch of shit Spend youre whole life paying off the debt from that bunch of material shit. And die. If you one day wake up and say to yourself, "This life is not for me" or you get "fed up" with the path that is already set for you, you get looked at like there is something wrong with you, (like you are the one with the social disease) or you get shunned. Suddenly you arent so free to live the life you would like to live. Least thats the way this lyric recently just clicked with me. It says alot really. She says 'won't let a stranger give me a social disease' which essentially means that she will continue expressing herself despite judgementalism from strangers. Immediately before that comes 'Why should I care what the WORLD thinks of me?'. It's really a song about Madonna putting up with small minded shit. Of course it's relatable to most people...

felipe1979 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 -"in disguiiiiiiise i can see it in your eyes, eyes, eyes.... baby, baby, babe...your an angel" from the extended version of angel -till death do us part, -the second chorus of love spent with a heavier bass line -"when did your name change from language to magic?" from i'm addicted -the rap in vogue -the last 2 minutes of incredible -the last chorus of frozen -the first instrumental intro of everybody -"in the windmills of my eyes, anyone can see...the loneliness inside of me" and the last "just a vacancy love don't liiiiive heeeeeeeeere anymore, live here anymore...."

futurelover06 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I Fucked Up "You wanna know how to make God laugh? Tell him your plans... We could've bought a house with a swimming pool Fill it up with Warhols, it would be so cool Could've gone riding stallions in the countryside With a pack of Great Danes racing eye to eye We could've toured the world in a private jet Run naked on the beach all soaking wet We could've climbed a mountain, seen a perfect sunrise Written our names across the sky We could've gotten drunk and driven on the Autoban We could've got ourselves arrested in Södermalm We could have lived life crazy 'til the day we die Instead I made you cry" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jan Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Skin, who is this man ? He is both hilarious and freaky at the same time. Another great Madonna song moment is the spoken word section of Rain and the crescendo that leads into "Here comes the Sun" . Rain has gorgeous lyrics such as Dark skies bursting in the perfect sky, you promised me when she said goodbye and the classic "for the first time, I can hear my heart sing" Beautiful lush song that is so under-rated.

Phantom Pain Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The bridge to Deeper and Deeper, "Someone said that romance was dead and I believe it instead of...," - the album is filled with fantastic bridges, but I wanna shout this shit out my window whenever I hear it. In Rescue Me, "Ooh ahh, ooh ahh, love is understanding" - It's dripping wet sex. I love that part. "Thieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeefff of Heaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrheaaaarheaaaarheaaarheaaarhear-ttttttts......, BITCH!" - Oh, and how she belts "BY MY SELFFFF!" at the end of Oh Father. these are all fantastic and some of my favorites as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightcutter Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The overlapping vocals on Who's That Girl's last choruses. 'Instead of spring it's always winter...' from Love Tried To.. 'Live out your fantasy here with me..' from Into The Groove. 'Now what could be better than a home cooked meal..?' with the sleazy background saxophone from Where Life Begins. 'You can't stop me now...' the bridge from Gambler. 'Maybe we were meant to be together...' the bridge from Physical Attraction. The entire intro and first chorus to Express Yourself. Just amazing. All of Bad Girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drunkbysix Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 "Quicker than the ray of light then gone for, someone else will be there, through the endless YEARSSS AH AH AH H AH AH AH AH AWWWWWWW!" "she's got herself a unviverseeeeeeeeereee-AND I FEEL!" "Don't think of yesterday and I don't look at the clock I like to boogie woogie-UH UH" "Maybe we were meant to be together, even though we never met before" the awesome thing about this lines is the harmonies and power of the background singers joining her!
