MLVC82 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 It's perfection. the words. the voice. the hook. the piano. LIVING FOR LOVE!!!!!
Crystal Coffin Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 The demo and the final version, both are great. I love '90s house, so I have no reason to not love this A very powerful song.
Nonoka Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 YES. Still need to get used to the altered sound after the chorus. But it's out of question that it is, in any way, AMAZING. Living For Love > This planet!!!
MLVC82 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 the more you listen to it the better it gets.... and she's SINGING!!! i mean really SINGING!!!! not EVITA singing.... RESCUE ME/DEEPER and DEEPER singing!!!!
Michael. Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Sorry I can't. "Living for laaaarrrrrrrvve" It's all I hear and I find it irritating. It's the only one of the 6 I don't like. Yes I know! I'm a terrible fan! I don't know what I'm talking about.
johndvd25 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Classic Madonna! Best first single in years!
billiejean Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Love the 90s sounds. This is really great.
Andra Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 It's so fucking amazing and can you imagine the choreography for this!!!! it's gonna be iconic
Elysium Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Living for Love is SUPERB! It's got ANTHEM written all over it.
MLVC82 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 Living for Love is SUPERB! It's got ANTHEM written all over it. it's an ANTHEM personified.
pallino89 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I like this song but I repeat I don't think that it could be a strong first single. For sure is her best first single since the last 5 years
MLVC82 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 First you love me and I let you inMade me feel like I was born againYou empowered me, you made me strongBuilt me up and I can do no wrongI let down my guard, I fell into your armsForgot who I was, I didn't hear the alarmsNow I'm down on my knees, alone in the darkI was blind to your gameYou fired a shot in my heartTook me to heaven and let me fall downNow that it's overI'm gonna carry onLifted me up, and watched me stumbleAfter the heartache, I'm gonna carry onLiving for loveLiving for loveI'm not giving upI'm gonna carry onLiving for loveI'm Living for loveNot gonna stopLove's gonna lift me upLove's gonna lift me upI could get caught up in bitternessBut I'm not dwelling on this crazy messI found freedom in the ugly truthI deserve the best and it's not youI picked up my pound, put it back in my headI can forgive, but I will never forgetTook me to heaven and let me fall downNow that it's overI'm gonna carry onLifted me up, and watched me stumbleAfter the heartache, I'm gonna carry onLiving for loveLiving for loveI'm not giving upI'm gonna carry onLiving for loveI'm Living for loveNot gonna stopLove's gonna lift me upLove's gonna lift me upLove, love lift meLove, love lift meGod forgive meI'm gonna carry onLove, love lift meLove, love lift meGod forgive meLove's gonna lift me upLove, love lift meLove, love lift meGod forgive meLove's gonna lift me upUp, up, upDon't leave me out, out, outLove's gonna lift me upLiving for loveLiving for loveI'm not giving upI'm gonna carry onLiving for loveI'm Living for loveNot gonna stopLove's gonna lift me upCome on, come on, come onI need you toLift me up up upCome onLift me up lord
Prox Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I dont like it very much. I feel it like outdated and very mainstream. Although the voice is great I would have picked up Devil as first single.
Nessie Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I dont like it very much. I feel it like outdated and very mainstream. Although the voice is great I would have picked up Devil as first single. Well... thats usually the point of a lead single lol
whyme? Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 It's definitely an "anthem" song, but it's not strong enough to be a hit. The melody is not gonna get people hooked on it.
whyme? Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Well... thats usually the point of a lead single lol No it's not. Frozen, Music and Hung Up were huge number one songs - and they were not mainstream for their time at all.
Nessie Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 It's definitely an "anthem" song, but it's not strong enough to be a hit. The melody is not gonna get people hooked on it. She should have the balls to release REBEL HEART as the lead single or JOAN OF ARC. Enough of playing safe... she has to make a statement!
whyme? Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 She should have the balls to release REBEL HEART as the lead single or JOAN OF ARC. Enough of playing safe... she has to make a statement! Agreed:) She went the "safe" way with Give me all your Love and that went nowhere. At the end of the day, getting a hit will never be easy. As long as the songs read well for a concert (which these do), i'll be happy.
MLVC82 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 It's definitely an "anthem" song, but it's not strong enough to be a hit. The melody is not gonna get people hooked on it. it's an anthem...and the chorus is already in your head.
Shane Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I think the pound listed in the lyrics above might actually be crown.
Guest Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 First you love me and I let you in Made me feel like I was born again You empowered me, you made me strong Built me up and I can do no wrong I let down my guard, I fell into your arms Forgot who I was, I didn't hear the alarms Now I'm down on my knees, alone in the dark I was blind to your game You fired a shot in my heart Took me to heaven and let me fall down Now that it's over I'm gonna carry on Lifted me up, and watched me stumble After the heartache, I'm gonna carry on Living for love Living for love I'm not giving up I'm gonna carry on Living for love I'm Living for love Not gonna stop Love's gonna lift me up Love's gonna lift me up I could get caught up in bitterness But I'm not dwelling on this crazy mess I found freedom in the ugly truth I deserve the best and it's not you I picked up my pound, put it back in my head I can forgive, but I will never forget Took me to heaven and let me fall down Now that it's over I'm gonna carry on Lifted me up, and watched me stumble After the heartache, I'm gonna carry on Living for love Living for love I'm not giving up I'm gonna carry on Living for love I'm Living for love Not gonna stop Love's gonna lift me up Love's gonna lift me up Love, love lift me Love, love lift me God forgive me I'm gonna carry on Love, love lift me Love, love lift me God forgive me Love's gonna lift me up Love, love lift me Love, love lift me God forgive me Love's gonna lift me up Up, up, up Don't leave me out, out, out Love's gonna lift me up Living for love Living for love I'm not giving up I'm gonna carry on Living for love I'm Living for love Not gonna stop Love's gonna lift me up Come on, come on, come on I need you to Lift me up up up Come on Lift me up lord it seems some lines are missing in the bolded part great lyrics and great song (even if something is missing from a first listening, don't know what)
loowee Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 She should have the balls to release REBEL HEART as the lead single or JOAN OF ARC. Enough of playing safe... she has to make a statement! It hasn't been confirmed Living For Love is the first single though. The lead single was supposed to be released on Feb 14th. And now we know that new music will be released on Feb 9th and that is likely to be the real first single according to the original schedule.
luin Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I wonder if anyone else thinks the melody of LFL is identical to Nothing Fails? I can sing it on top of it. And both have gospelly choirs
Nonoka Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Did anyone else notice the very last seconds of the song are cut off at the end? It ends abruptly and jumps right to Devil Pray. Hope they fix that. Other than that, I've listened to this final version a couple of times now and can OFFICIALLY confirm it is just as good as the demo. Which means it is a song of LIFE!!!
jonski43 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 It hasn't been confirmed Living For Love is the first single though. The lead single was supposed to be released on Feb 14th. And now we know that new music will be released on Feb 9th and that is likely to be the real first single according to the original schedule. But in the UK iTunes LFL is scheduled separately for this Monday and it says it's a single.
