Guest Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I'm currently putting together a photography book for my lovely new coffee table. It's 12x12 (LP size) and it's focusing on her discography. I'll have front and back pics of each of her albums. Then, I'm also including a picture of her, from each era, next to the respective album. And, with the 'era specific' picture, I'd like to include a caption. It has to be a lyric from an album. I keep going back and forth with my ideas and I can't settle on which lyric goes best. For example.... for the True Blue era I have used "I have a tale to tell..." I want short, memorable, reflective lyrics to describe each era. What lyrics do you like best? Do you like what I've picked for True Blue? Would you have picked something different? The only ones I've settled on are the Music and TB eras. For Music I picked "Many miles, many roads I have traveled..." What lyrics have I missed? Give me your opinions. Rebel Heart is impossible for me. I cannot decide on which lyric to use, so I need lots of opinions here. I've come with. "Shine your light like a beautiful star..." "I'll be your fire when the lights go out..." Thanks all.

anastaza Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 "I'm not afraid to say I hear a different beat..." for the LAV era? I've always loved that one and it's definitely very true about her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbatal Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 What a beautiful idea. for the first album I would choose "I'm not afraid I have no shame I'm on fire " from Burning Up or some line from Holiday, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jan Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Love this Webo Girl Here are some suggestions of lyrics that I personally love You try to criticise my drive, if I lose I don't feel paralysed - Over and Over No risk, no glory - Survival Stong inside but you don't know it - What it feels like for a girl Creation comes when you learn to say no - The Power of goodbye I'll stand on my own - You'll see Through the darkness somehow I survived - Rebel Heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemo64 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 What a fantastic project you've embarked on! For Rebel Heart, there are a lot of good ones. I like this one in particular: "I won't apologize for being myself" - Beautiful Scars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jan Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 So many great lyrics from Madonna over the years. Another one I love from the Rebel Heart album is this gem from Borrowed time. " So let's live each moment like our time is only borrowed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrolla Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Unlike the others I'll do anything, I'm not the same I have no shame (Burning Up) who am I, to decide what should be done? (WOAM) I've had to work much harder than this, for something I want, don't try to resist me (OYH) do what you like, say what you feel, you know exactly who you are (BGO), don't stop me know, no need to catch my breath, I can go on and on and on (GITM) happiness lies in your own hand, it took me much to long, to understand, how this could be (Secret) forgot exactly what I asked for, wanted it so badly, running rushing back for more, I suffered fools, so gladly, and now I find, I've changed my mind (DW) turn to stone, lose my faith, I'll be gone before it happens (Gone), tell me everything I'm not, but please don't tell me to stop (DTM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrolla Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 now I can tell you the place that I belong, I know it won't last long, the lights they will turn down (LIWB) I wonder if I'll ever know, where my place is, where my face is (SG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabyDietrich Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 What a cool project. Hmmm... this is tricky but I'll try to contribute a few ideas. Bedtimes Stories: "Express yourself, don't repress yourself" Hard Candy: "Dancing makes me feel beautiful" MDNA: "There's only one Queen, and that's Madonna" or "I'm gonna be okay, I don't care what the people say" What a fantastic project you've embarked on! For Rebel Heart, there are a lot of good ones. I like this one in particular: "I won't apologize for being myself" - Beautiful Scars I like this one for RH too!

qans1990 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 What a great idea for a project!! The line(s) I always think of for: ROL: and now I find I've changed my mind... this is my religion Music: when you open up your mouth to speak, could you be a little weak AL: I guess I'll die another day, it's not my time to go RH: so I took the road less traveled by, and I barely made it out alive The others are a bit tougher for me...
