elijah Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Sorry but this song works on so many levels: amazing lyrics, marvelous vocals, daunting music: everything is so dramatic and perfect. Why oh why it is not even released according to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I originally was convinced it was pulled to serve as a Spotify or Itunes exclusive. Now I wonder if it might surface as a b side to Ghosttown or whatever the third single is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtzlplk Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 hopefully they will use it as an "album only" b-side... but this is Interscope, it seems too much to hope for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leebert Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 While I love the song, the lyrics are quite dark. It feels like M reflecting on her career and acknowledging to an extent that she's perhaps no longer the music force she once was in terms of sales and charts. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but the whole 'your queen's been slain - she'll never rule again' seems to be almost admitting defeat, making way for the new, albeit inferior, pop tarts! I also think this is the exact reason she didn't include it seeing as this album is almost a reassertion that she's far from finished. Maybe in the end she felt it didn't fit the triumphant message of Rebel Heart. Just my theory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVC Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It's BLAND! are you kidding me? I actually am really satisfied with all the tracks chosen for their respective editions. The fillers and "not so strong" tracks were cut from the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ai Papi Si. Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I don't think it's about that. I think it's a similar theme to Ghosttown, just minus the love story part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reQuiem4adream Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It's about a damn chess piece it's not her "I'm gonna give up" song (like she ever fuckin would) Is it? Now that makes sense! Perhaps she's waiting for her first week sales number. If RH doesn't make it to #1, she'll release this track officially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leebert Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I can see the chess analogy but I stillI think the meaning is ambiguous and purposefully so. Hence people have different interpretations. Thats the beauty of art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo94 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I will not hear these vile words uttered about the masterpiece Queen The reason why it's not been officially released, is clearly they were worried that too many would gag on its amazingness and injure themselves. Therefore they wanted to prevent madonna being sued for damgages. Obvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLVCPR Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Seems like it was a song written for W.E. after the fact. Maybe that's why she didn't feel it was an appropriate addition. Also, it does feel like a sister to Ghosttown, and not as strong melodically or vocally, and so adios Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
