Shane Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 The first time I listened to this one-two punch, I swear I cried. They were two of the most beautiful ballads I had ever heard, and it was as though Madonna was combining the Music album with 70s era Joni Mitchell. But which of these gems is better?! Discuss ...

Guest Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 American Life is seriously one of the best records ever recorded. And these two songs are two strong reasons why. I love both. It depends on my mood. I'd say Intervention is more my favorite at the moment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Gold Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Nothing Fails. the guitars, choir, her voice, the electronic beeps. It is such an amazing song. such a shame it didn't get a video even though it was a single Edited February 22, 2014 by LeooAyala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsaacHarris Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Nothing Fails. Is it even a question? I still get so many goosebumps from her voice. It was not a chance meeting. Feel my heart beating. You're the one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shine Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'm totally unable to say which one is my favorite. Besides, it's kind of a trilogy to me with X-Static Process : the 3 songs back to back are 13'32" of pure bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in the lovely Easy Ride, and you have a work of epic proportions, joining Erotica as her overlooked masterpiece. Yeah, that's right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's right! I guess it's not surprising to say that these 2 albums are on top of my list. Anyways, if I really HAD to stick to the rules and pick a song, I'd go with Intervention - solely based on its frustratingly short rendition in Re Invention Tour : i want more !

Guest Xanthium Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Nothing Fails. Intervention is a little too repetitive at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick00 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Two of my all time favorites from M, but like Intervention just a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Intervention. Was never a fan of the choir in Nothing Fails which seemed a little too pasted on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Both are superb. But I think Intervention has the edge. If only for the backing vocals M provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpb4uthink Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I too was emotionally exhausted when I first heard these two songs especially when the choir soars in Nothing Fails but when I first heard Intervention, it vibrated joy through my veins. I got that infectious tingling feeling that I got when I first fell in love. Ya, Intervention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Nothing Fails is my favorite song ever, I left mexico for a boyfriend in London, who didn't want a boyfriend when I got there, coming back to my family and friends... Dancing with them to peter rauhoffers mix of this song for almost a year in every afterhours, and realizing that Nothing Fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndvd25 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Both are gorgeous... Intervention is one of my fave M tracks. Luv the guitar on the middle part of the song. I remember I always listened to these songs when I finally found the love of my life during the AL era. The first time I commit myself to a serious relationship. Sadly a music video for NF never happened. I did recall the video was supposed to be shot at Jerusalem.

Guest Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 but when I first heard Intervention, it vibrated joy through my veins.. Same here. You've given the perfect description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icykiller Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 The first time I listened to AL Nothing Fails was THE song, you know. That one track that really got through my system. But with the years, Intervention has lingered on with me. I've grown and the song still is pretty much a part of my playlists, still now. So I'd choose Intervention. There's a certain warmth to Intervention, maybe it's the mother's love/protection theme of the lyrics, plus M's vocals. I love that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloane Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Nothing Fails by a million miles. The remixes are some of her best ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5iVe Elements Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 It's like you're making me choose between my mother and my father. I love both. But I'll go with Intervention. The lyrics are one of my ultimate favorites and that guitar. And someone said above the song lingers. It creeps in on you slowly and stays there.
