Guest Borderline Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 This is just an utterly amazing song! It truly seems that she's going for a music festival vibe with all of the tracks... loads of sing-a-long melodies that slay! <3
XXL Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 This is just an utterly amazing song! It truly seems that she's going for a music festival vibe with all of the tracks... loads of sing-a-long melodies that slay! <3 MELODY CICCONE is back !! Love her
vocalism Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 What am I missing here? I'm listening right now and I'm still not into it. I can hear the Ryan Tedder sound - maybe that's what's bothering me. Sounds like something Beyonce or someone else would do. I do think it would make a good single for that reason.

I guess it's a good thing I don't listen to Beyonce because I love Ghosttown and don't connect it with her at all.
MCHL Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 I don't want to be crucified for this but my first thought on Ghosttown was "Wow, this would fit right in on the new Taylor Swift album":x Don't get me wrong I LIKE it but...

humanracin Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Ghosttown just gets better with each listen, one of Ms best songs in quite some time. The only new song I like more so far is Devil Prays, but it's a close race with Ghosttown now...
Phineaspoe Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 That's like saying that Live to Tell isn't strong enough because it resembles [insert 80s song here]. Who cares? It's a good song. It's a great song. The lyrics have that mystical quality that's only Madonna's. And she's singing it like her life depends on it. That's the connection right there.
Sjewell88 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 What's so amazing about this song is Madonna's delivery! What hater would dare say she can't sing after listening to this vocal?
Lymon Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Ghosttown is absolutely one of her best ballads in YEARS. Obsessed with it.
Matt Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 This song deserves everything it can get. It need exposure. Everybody needs to hear it many times.
Shane Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Does anyone else think the way she sings "I know you're scared tonight" is the best thing of our lives.
Kim Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 What am I missing here? I'm listening right now and I'm still not into it. I can hear the Ryan Tedder sound - maybe that's what's bothering me. Sounds like something Beyonce or someone else would do. I do think it would make a good single for that reason. Oh of course YOU would be the first one to serve up something negative about this sublime song. BOLT!
Mooncrown11 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 I echo what everyone else has said about this amazing song-it's beautiful and her voice is amazing- love that she is exploring her lower register again. And that melody and the bridge
Shane Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 As everyone knows, I love Madge the Balladeer. This is a stupendous song in the classic Madonna ballad mold, but also sounds fresh and different. That is one of her gifts: her songs always sound like no one else, while also sounding quintessentially Madonnaesque. If there is at least one other ballad on the album of this caliber, I will die.
Guest CzarnaWisnia Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 This song seems to illustrate the special tone of the album so far, to me, that mix of disappointment and hopeful/confident longing for the future, like the look she has on the album cover: she's wrapped and constrained (with the past/present) but perfectly calm, looking up in a kind of daze to some kind of knowledge that it'll all be ok.
DIRTY PIG Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 definitely should be a single. im so impressed with this music, its just so good! i did not get that feeling with HC and MDNA.
strictmachine Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Definitely the most "generic" sounding to me, I could easily hear Katy perry or any other pop tart singing this, but it is an absolutely flawlessly produced example of what all those wannabes try to be!
kokot Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Love this song. Was this produced by one of the guys from One Republic?
luin Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 If there is at least one other ballad on the album of this caliber, I will die. There is! It's called Joan of Arc
frzndrwnwrld Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 I don't want to be crucified for this but my first thought on Ghosttown was "Wow, this would fit right in on the new Taylor Swift album" :x Don't get me wrong I LIKE it but... I think you are confusing Ghosttown with Messiah. *raises shield*
Guest eroticerotic Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 um....i think that's the point of the album. Madonna can do what is current and get away with it and add more to it due to the fact she is Madonna, and her age, and still feeling creative. It's the ultimate milestone in my opinion!
Crystal Coffin Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 What am I missing here? I'm listening right now and I'm still not into it. I can hear the Ryan Tedder sound - maybe that's what's bothering me. Sounds like something Beyonce or someone else would do. I do think it would make a good single for that reason. Could you please shut the fuck up and go away for 5 weeks? Thanks.
svperstar Posted December 21, 2014 Author Posted December 21, 2014 I have returned to this one over the course of a whole day more than the others. It's clearly going to be an album highlight. I already picture this being on the next tour -- her sitting on the steps, just her and her audience, and us all singing the lyrics back to her.
Msig Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Definitely the most "generic" sounding to me, I could easily hear Katy perry or any other pop tart singing this, but it is an absolutely flawlessly produced example of what all those wannabes try to be! I get your point. It is a bit generic in its sound, but the lyrics and the way Madonna delivers them makes it very Madonna-esque.
mad4mad2 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Out of this mad mad world! Love this song like alot!
