loowee Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 In your opinions what are the songs that best represent their mother albums thematically/lyrically/musically? Some of her albums are pretty bipolar so it'd be fun to see what people will choose! Pick one for each only. Madonna: Burning Up. Like A Virgin: Dress You Up. True Blue: Papa Don't Preach. Like A Prayer: Oh Father Erotica: Deeper And Deeper Bedtime Stories: Survival Ray Of Light: Sky Fits Heaven Music: Don't Tell Me American Life: Nothing Fails Confessions On A Dancefloor: Jump Hard Candy: Incredible MDNA: I Fucked Up (Yes girl you did) Rebel Heart: Veni Vidi Vici Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnino Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Madonna: Burning Up (I'm on fire!) Like A Virgin: Material Girl True Blue: True Blue (Motown inspired synth pop and head over heels "in love" tone) Like A Prayer: Till Death Do Us Part (confessional tone with a keen pop sensibility) Erotica: Waiting (darker, moodier, defiant and yet hopeful -waiting- for love) Bedtime Stories: Survival Ray Of Light: Nothing Really Matters (looking back at her life and admitting she has changed because of her daughter) Music: What It Feels Like For A Girl ("when you're trying hard to be your best, could you be a little less..." It kick started her angry phase that culminated in AL. American Life: Nobody Knows Me (she was trying to show another side of her with that album, the Anti-Material Girl, in truth nobody knew like Guy knew her at the time) Confessions On A Dancefloor: How High (confessing her doubts on whether she should carry on and whether what she accomplished would matter when she's gone, all of it to the sound of disco) Hard Candy: Incredible ("I don't want this to end, I'm a losing my best friend...." Trying to make a party of what she probably already knew could not be fixed: her marriage) MDNA: I Don't Give A (listing all the reasons why she was to busy to care about Guy and other people think and too busy to come up with a decent tracklist) Rebel Heart: Beautiful Scars (she's acknowledging her flaws and asking us to accept her that way, this album is her most vulnerable and this track illustrates that. "Always been a rebel overcoming obstacles; I can't give you perfect but I can give you forever...") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeakMaker Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I have always found the first track of each album usually shows her mood and where she wants to go thematically and musically. Even a simple track like Survival in Bedtime Stories gives us a general idea of where she's at in terms of emotions and production wise. Sometimes we can have songs like Papa Don't Preach that can showcase the overall production of the album but thematically or lyrically is kind of far stretched or in the case of Rebel Heart she's giving away the lyrical content with Living For Love but production wise the track is not representative of the whole album.
