Crux Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Love Profusion still remains my favorite song from the AL album but it seems to be pretty much ignored by fans. I think it's a very underrated song. How do you guys feel about it? http://youtu.be/PgDFGubdxXk?list=PL2029AE3D990C57E1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaacHarris Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 One of my all time favorites, both video & song. She sounds so pretty on the chorus, especially with that ominous electronic vocal in the background. Cute lyrics, smooth beat, fun melody... there's something simply magical about the whole track.

IsaacHarris Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 She better incorporate it into an interlude or SOMETHING on the next tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I adore this track. Always did, from the first listen. A perfect pop song all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaything Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 It always felt like a hit single when I first got AL. Not sure what went wrong (Oh I know, the mess regarding NF/LP as the 3rd single ruined it for both amazing songs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crux Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm listening to it now and her voice sounds so beautiful. I just don't understand why it didn't do better. I love it. She better incorporate it into an interlude or SOMETHING on the next tour. Any sort of performance would give me goosebumps, but you can bet she's probably forgotten all about it by now....or pretends she has. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I am not a huge fan of American life. But Love Profusion is one of the songs I really LOVE on that album. The remixes were just okay. Wish she'd perform this live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yeah I'm gonna rehash this! The album should have been called Love Profusion, not American Life. I used to think it should have been called "Intervention", but now I like "Love Profusion" more. Although we got a great video for AL (original), it was a mistake to release it as a lead single, especially with the dismal flag background video. Singles should've been (not sure of the order): Love Profusion Intervention Nobody Knows Me if more were warranted, then Hollywood and/or Nothing Fails The problem with this album was it really had no identity. Who could really relate to the title track? I love love love the album as a whole. It's in my Top 5. But some tracks were better off shelved and it should've been marketed differently.... not "Bad ass Madonna hates America and fame". I know that's not what her intention was but I think that's what the general public thought, and a major contributor to its "failure". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madonnasuperfan01 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 It's DEFINITIVELY an underrated song. One of her very best ballads. It's one of the songs that i was in love with before becoming a Madonna fan, i've heard it a lot on the radio. That and Hollywood. I didn't knew it was Madonna but i loved those songs to death. So, when i became a fan and listened to her whole discography, i was really surprised to see that BOTH of those songs were from the same album! Damn the whole American Life album is so amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpb4uthink Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 A song that makes me smile. When she sings " there's too oo oo many options.... " I melt. Great vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VogueMusic Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I LOVE this song. I relate so much to those lyrics. It truly deserved to be a bigger hit. It has everything going for it that screams 'hit' single... ...not to mention that gorgeous video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mensch Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Amazing song, but I hate the video. I totally love Regina Spektor's cover of it too. This could've been a decent sized hit if promoted and/or had a better video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXL Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 It's amazing! It is such a warm and fizzy song and yet kind of melancholic The sound of the American Life album was astounding in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magom Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Ignored by fans??? Noooo way... It's love it by fans. Even some of my friends who aren't big Madonna fans looooove it. I think the time of AL life era made every song underrated, even the AL single itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johndvd25 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Oooh my fave song from AL! Luv the layers of sounds on this song and the back up singing of Mirwais! This could be a hit song off the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magom Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Every track on AL is perfection to me.. Love profusion just helped to make that album so damn amazing..... Yes!!! At that time I was angry that LP wasn't the second single, but at the same time I was so proud of that the album was loved by many of my hetero friends XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjc Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 In the UK if only it had been released just a little earlier then it would not have got lost with all the Christmas songs. Number 11 chart peak, so frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
