Pablo94 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Extreme Occident is also so good. This album is turning out to be
Wunderkind Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Haven’t heard it and will refrain from listening to more leaks aside from GC and IDSIF what's this song like?
BangGangUK Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Extreme Occident...way better than I thought from the initial teaser....the strings and piano are magical ....then the tribal drums come in

Sounds almost Bollywood meets Jay-Z Big Pimpin’ beats? I’m asking because I haven’t heard Extreme Occident yet.

Extreme Occident is from the initial album teaser video..but it goes off all tribal then she sings in Portugese(?) Looking For Mercy really is a surprise...those icy synths...wow!
T0pher Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 this song is definitely a highlight for me. love it so much, fits perfectly between Paradise and Easy Ride
jonur Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Extreme Occident is the heart of this album for me. Every album of Madonna's has a "heart" for me and for MX, it's this one. I can't even describe the way it hits home for me... ugh, love love love... all her songs/albums come out at the PERFECT time in my life. Thank you, M.
Crux Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 This is the only one that hasn't connected with me properly yet, but i'm getting there...slowly. lol I adore the "life is a circle" part.
elijah Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Strangely, I didn't think it sticks out when I heard it, but certain phrases and parts stick in my mind and I m hearing myself singing parts of it, though I haven't heard it too many times.
Guest dcbyebyebaby Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 I really like it but the "Life is a circle.." part would be better if it didnt just repeat the same line over and over.

Showdown Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 I think this shouldve been the album closer and not i rise

Actually I think that’s clever and it perfectly illustrates how life is a circle by repeating the same phrase

Its very common in music today to go to have a less "wordy" chorus. Just rather have more lyrics.
thelight Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Hoping the song outweighs the lyrics I heard in the clip e.g, rhyming “lost” then “cost” then ending the line with “lost”
FlyOnTheWall Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Wait. What did I just hear? I oddly think this is my fav so far.
Jairo Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Can someone post lyrics for this one? @robster maybe?
FlyOnTheWall Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 I went to the far right Then I went to the far left I tried to recover my center of gravity I guess I’m lost, I had to pay the cost The thing that hurt me most, was that I wasn’t lost. I came from the midwest Then I went to the Far East I tried to discover my own identity I guess I’m lost, I paid a handsome cost The thing that hurt the most, was that I wasn’t lost I WASN’T LOST No, I wasn’t lost, it was a different feeling A mix of lucidity and craziness But I wasn’t lost, believe me I was right And I’ve got the right To choose my own life Like a full circle Life is a circle, life is a circle (repeated several times) Portuguese language verse: Aquilo que mais magoa (what hurt the most) E que eu nao estava perdida (was that I wasn’t lost) Aquilo que mais magoa (what hurt the most) E que eu nao estava perdida (was that I wasn’t lost)
Kurt420 Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Love the way she sings the "but I wasn't lost, believe me" line.
