Mooncrown11 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Artwork by Oscar Marquez "You'll See" You think that I can't live without your loveYou'll see,You think I can't go on another day.You think I have nothingWithout you by my side,You'll seeSomehow, some wayYou think that I can never laugh againYou'll see,You think that you destroyed my faith in love.You think after all you've doneI'll never find my way back home,You'll seeSomehow, someday[Chorus:]All by myselfI don't need anyone at allI know I'll surviveI know I'll stay alive,All on my ownI don't need anyone this timeIt will be mineNo one can take it from meYou'll seeYou think that you are strong, but you are weakYou'll see,It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat.I have truth on my side,You only have deceitYou'll see, somehow, someday[Chorus2:]All by myselfI don't need anyone at allI know I'll surviveI know I'll stay alive,I'll stand on my ownI won't need anyone this timeIt will be mineNo one can take it from meYou'll seeYou'll see, you'll seeYou'll see, mmmm, mmmm This absolutely beautiful new song from her Something To Remember ballad compilation, her first collaboration with songwriter David Foster, finds Madonna scorned but not defeated. Her voice is so strong and confident on this song and was one of the first examples of the positive effect her vocal training for Evita had on her singing. I don't think many people (aside from her diehard fanbase) thought she was capable of delivering such a powerful and moving performance. Lyrically it speaks of being deceived by someone you thought you could trust but instead of crumbling, she rises up even stronger. I think all of us have had someone (or many someones) in their lives that they would love to have sung this to. It's a kind of bitter revenge song but it's a very classy one and I think she pulls it off with ease and tremendous poise. Favorite Lyric: It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat Favorite Musical Part : The Spanish guitar Favorite Vocal Part: Her upper register when she sings "I don't need anyone at all" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 This is my mother's favorite Madonna song. My feelings about this song stem through her. I remember when I first played it for her in 1995. It brought tears to her eyes. To this day, whenever we're together, we listen to it. She's never said it, but I know that when she hears it, she thinks about my dad. My mom is an awesome strong lady. I love her! You think that you are strong, but you are weak... It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat. I have truth on my side, You only have deceit You'll see, somehow, someday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt420 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I still remember how I felt after hearing this song for the first time. I was listening to the radio and the dramatic intro immediately got my attention. Then the voice kicked in and I realized this is a new Madonna song. Omg I was stunned!! I had no idea she was capable of pulling off a vocal as powerful as this. The "you think that you are strong but you are weak....." part nearly brought tears to my eyes. Her voice was just so perfect! The wait til Evita seemed to drag after this. I was so ready to hear a full album with this "new voice". On a side note, this time of year always reminds me of this song. That video with the leaves and just the overall sound/vibe of the song is very fall/winter.

Beautiful vocals, inspiring lyrics and such a strong and gorgeous melody. Love how Madonna sings this. Topping it all off, how about how she beautiful she looks in the video clip. I always say that Madonna does vintage glamour and beauty betting than any current star and this video proves it. Plus, love the scenes of Autumn, my favourite season. Madonna ballads are always something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madonnasuperfan01 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 This song is one of the rare Madonna songs that created such strong emotions from me that i almost cried when i listened to it the first time. Everything is perfect about it: the lyrics, the melody, the VOCALS,... Everything. One of her most perfect songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 This is a timeless emotive beauty, both the song and the video. I think it's strange that it sort of exists in the background? I really hoped it would be a part of RHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
material_boy Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 This has always been a bit too Celine Dion for my taste, but I do love that Spanish guitar. That Drowned World arrangement, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVX Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 One of her best songs EVER, deffo in my Top 10. Sadly it seems to be a bit forgotten, even by Madonna herself. I hope she performs this again someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 She performed this on selected US dates on the Drowned World Tour and it was glorious! I was lucky enough to hear her perform it at one of her Boston shows and it was indeed grand! I think it has become one of those forgotten hits. Of course "Who's That Girl" fell into that category too and then suddenly reappeared in the current tour. So maybe we'll hear it again live someday...
