Larkspur Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 How many of Madonna's songs use the word light? I can name a few but just how many all through the beginning of her career till now have the word "light" in her song lyrics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkspur Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 I didn't have the time this morning to look through all her lyrics. A lot of her fans can name things right off the top. I was just curious. I can look through the songs but I thought it was an interesting topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 There's spotlight. And lucky star, that shines so bright. Her little star brights and she made that beautiful metaphor called Ray of Light. I like how she uses the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnox Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'd rather have had Supernatural on Like A Prayer than Dear Jessie.

Bill Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I don't know if I feel like it belonged on the album, but it certainly my all-time favorite B-side. I always wished there was a video for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can look through the songs but I thought it was an interesting topic. Im curious to know why you were curious about this word? Is it because she talks about The Light in I'm Gonna Tell A Secret and you want to see many times she makes reference to 'The Light'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
