Stephen Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 I wonder if this song has something to do with the Anne Sexton poem "45 Mercy Street." Peter Gabriel has a song based off it. https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/45-mercy-street/ "In my dream, drilling into the marrow of my entire bone, my real dream, I'm walking up and down Beacon Hill searching for a street sign - namely MERCY STREET. Not there. "

Aries Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Like she did something wrong and she’s looking for mercy asking for forgiveness

ashtangi74 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 looking for mercy isnt a filler at all…..very beautiful, catchy and great vocals
Acediace Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 omg after all the jokes about Looking For Mercy.... Its the best LOL
FeTuoni Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 I knew LOOKING FOR MERCY was the song that Estere was singing !!!
Milosc89 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 It’s one of the best songs on the album! Amazing and emotional! Beautiful!
Plaything Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Who would have fucking thought that LOOKING FOR MERCY is the true highlight of the album???? OMG, I'm seriously shook right now. What a fabulous song!!!!
Herfaceremains Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Wow...Confused that Looking for Mercy was not conveyed as a major player on the album in the majority of reviews. One of her career highlights! Absolutely gorgeous ballad that will stand up there with her greatest! The longing, and the triumph! Flawed flawed by design, please please sympathize!
BangGangUK Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Looking For Mercy is quite the torch song...strings, synths and a big banging drum. 'Somebody to help me rise above'....sing it, M!
BangGangUK Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 'Hold my hand please, empathise' LFM is so moving.
luizotaviobarros Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Looking for Mercy... Could this be one of Madonna's best songs like EVER?
BangGangUK Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 It's giving me Oh Father vibes ..the vocals..the melody...the strings? hmmm.

Just shows how useless those reviews are, especially critics. Even the positive ones, somehow missed the mark. How many of them bothered to mention just how cosmic and spiritual and metaphysical this album actually is? Batuka alone gives me chills!

The “Somebody teach me...” part kills me every time. This is kind of what Madonna + Patrick Leonard might have sounded like in 2019? what a gem
Guest ditaluver Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 This song is sublime!!! Although it could be a minute shorter
