Guest Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 i know everybody will laugh behind me...but listening to the song tonight on the way home in my scooter, i made an association with Edith Piaf (maybe it was the 4 hours reharsals ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illuminati Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 One of the best songs on the record. The vocal delivery is one of her best! It's such a strong track with a perfect arrangement. Btw did you notice that the repetition of the second thorus has been chopped when you compare it with the demo? You can even hear her sing "and" around the 3:00-minute mark, but then it's cut.

swimtoshore Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I really like this - more with each listen The vocal is great - so raw with emotion! The chorus just blows the roof off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runa Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 This song deserves to be lavished with praise, and I have no problem bumping the thread repeatedly tbh. Ice cold, spine chilling, amazing vocal performance from the one true Queen. I knew you would like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I knew you would like it! You know me so well! One of my favorite all time vocals of hers tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Amazing. I love the Brahaim on Blast tracks. So honest and so emotional. This one is well crafted from beginning to end. I'm loving these lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm loving these lyrics.Absolutely! Back to work for me tomorrow after a week of Madonna, so I'm just sitting here bumping song threads so we can worship again "I curse the day we met."

Phineaspoe Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Don't tell Living for Love, Ghosttown, Devil Pray, Body Shop, Beautiful Scars, Borrowed Time, Rebel Heart, WAOM, Messiah, Inside Out, S.E.X., Joan of Arc, or Best Night... but I think this is my favorite song off the album...

mlcr Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I have been hounding Guy with tweets that this should be a single even if a Bside(doubleA side) seeing the length. I want people to hear this song. This is a feminist anthem as good as any we have had in the last 10 years. It's my most listened to track off the album. It's the lyrics I first learned. I just love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I am discovering new things in each song as I continue to enjoy Rebel Heart. It strikes me how different Madonna's voice sounds on Heartbreak City from Wash All Over Me, yet both vocals are completely Madonna. She has an edge of bitterness on this track that is so powerful. I like to picture her before recording each song, getting herself prepared for the specific type of vocal she is about to deliver. What an artist.

Andra Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I CURSE THE DAY WE MET! It's gonna be amazing when she performs this on tour, I'm trying to envision it, her alone on stage, kind of like the LAV/l\Love Spent MDNA performance, it must be really theatrical You said I was your queen I tried to give you everything And now you want your freedom You got just what you came for A bit of fame and fortune And I'm no longer needed *falls down to her knees* You said it was over Wanted it to end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adreeyen Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 If I had one complaint about the whole Rebel Heart album as a whole, it would be that the line "And I still feel shitty" was taken out of this song. It's even more perfection now tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 This seems very anchored by her vocal. The drums and the male background vocals are nice flourishes, but it's relatively sparse overall, and the melody line is basically carried by her vocal. I also love the contrast in her vocal here compared to the other ballads GT, WAOM, and Messiah. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also love the contrast in her vocal here compared to the other ballads GT, WAOM, and Messiah. Love it. this is what I meant by vocally taxing, she has to be at full vocal force, with emotion behind it, for the song to work. On Ghosttown, although the vocal is prominent, has a much softer style during the verses, and has backup on the chorus. I mean it could still work, she did it with LAV last time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
