Only complaint is that it gets a bit repeatative near the end with the choir singing come alive come alive to infinity. Every time I am thinking it is finished there comes more: come alive come alive... Forever. But yeah great song. The story behind the percussion was very interesting this! for some reason i just noticed that the other day.

justinian Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Well, I rise and future and come alive are the songs I haven’t managed to get into ...yet...Anyhow, I have the rest of the album to make my own choices....for the singles and I’m also getting used since mdna. Otherwise said, I would have loved to get crazy and/or looking for mercy and/or i don’t search, i find and/or even killers who are partying....
SOON Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 The outro is one of my favorite moments in the album. I’m usually walking down the street when I’m playing this song. I love the way the fade out echoes and vibrates through me. Stunning!
stevenflowers Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 It's probably my favourite track on the record, love the ethinc percussions and the uplifting vibe of the song... i can't believe many fans don't like it or consider it just a filler, to me is part of the real core of the album (from track 5 to 10 roughly).

Flip The Switch Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 Great song (despite the fact she sounds a bit bored, like she was laying down while she recorded this) the outro is amazing. Reminds me of Enya.

Reminds me of Enya. Flip the Switch, I know. I do love this song but actually feel that her vocals are a bit off in this. For the first time ever, she sounds nasal to me in this. Madonna never sounds nasal so a bit of a shock.

That ending absolutely vibrates through you with some good headphones on....one of my favorite moments on the album.....then it goes right into the exquisite EO. I listen to MX frequently on walks and CA always makes me get some pep in my step, it's the perfect soundtrack to a beautiful sunny day (I know that sounds cheesy...lol...but it's so true).

Madonna never sounds nasal so a bit of a shock. She sounds kind of raspy, right? It's very different, but I actually think it adds to the song's vibe. For the pre-chorus, she switches to that soft, high and almost innocent tone which is a great contrast. Many people complained about the autotuned vocals on Madame X, but what I really love are her diverse vocal deliveries. My fav section is Killers - Crave - Crazy - Come Alive - Extreme Occident. For each song she chose a different vocal style. Amazing!
Guest Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 I would love this song to have a video at any point.I can´t imagine remixes, but...the song is great

She is singing in many vocal styles, so it's maybe just new and unusual. I love the newness of it. 14 hours ago, Illuminati said: She sounds kind of raspy, right?

Illuminati Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 What are the real lyrics during the chorus? I'm not sure about the part that starts with: "They say be all I can be..." if that's correct to begin with...

I love that chorus, I wish it would last for hours, it’s so celestial.

strictmachine Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 This song always sounded like total filler to me but I can totally appreciate it for the instrumentation and the meaning behind it all.

Kelmadfan Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Even though Future is my favorite, Come Alive has been playing over in my head for a while now.
Andyrs Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 What do you think of this video montage? I love it!!
HolidayGuy Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Still a top track from the album for me. However she sounds, no doubt it's intentional- look at the other MX tracks. For this one, it's almost like a "This is me, deal with it" way she's singing, particularly the verses (except for the peace/see parts, which is a different vocal approach).
Nick Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 At first wasn't into this track, but like it quite a bit now.
boy skeffington Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 The live version of this song completely elevates the song. She sings it SOOO well onstage. I wish it were a single now.
sillynate Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Is she singing about smoking weed at the beginning? I’m in the sky where I oughta be at (she’s high?) Rocket ship taking off in that is the rocket ship line a reference to this song?
Mr.X Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) The choir is one of the highlights of the song. It actually emphasizes one of Madame X's qualities : discovering another culture thanks to music. Actually, Madonna was inspired by gnaoua music from North Africa. Qraqebs (percussion instruments) are also used during the song. What do I think about the song? It's moving. When the choir sings at the end, I get moved. I just can't help it! Imagine Madonna making such a beautiful song after all those years! An artist. Edited December 2, 2019 by Mr.X
