Unforgettable song from Madonna! Leads us to a journey through time, where the beauty of the song was more, much more than art! Hugs renovated! (Inesquecível canção de Madonna! Leva-nos à uma viagem no tempo, onde a beleza da canção era mais, muito mais do que arte! Abraços renovados!)
This has to be my favourite Madonna ballad...the music and the lyrics are epic...Madonna gives a tremendous performance....but the main reason that this song is in my heart is that the lyrics truly describe me...i've experienced deceit and broken promises...lies so easily told...but I listen to this song,I cry at first,but then I get strong,thinking that I can go on...I MUST go on
i was 10 when this was a hit my aunt and my mother loved this song and i knew it was special too just by the musical composition if nothing else. my aunt and mam are both dead 21 and 16 years from cancer but this reminds me of a certain day back in 1986 when they were both in the kitchen of my house and i was out palying with my cousins we had baloons and bubbles and this tune was on all the radio stations in ireland
@1860george Irish people are awesome. I'm from Cape Breton Nova Scotia. Many Irish/Scottish settlers here came from Ireland and in the military unit I'm in we honor that by wearing Kilts. Also Sheamus is my favorite wrestler for Wwe right now and he's from Ireland.
This is before my time but I love this song so much. Madonna is brilliant. Can't wait for her next album and I hope it has some great gems like this one.
This song was popular when I found my first love (1985). Even though we split up 2 years after we met, I still think of Jill when I hear this song. This song warms me all over because of the connection it has with me and Jill and what it meant at the time.
This on the CT. Stunning. A masterpiece (the cross performace) While it is seems a bit provocative to me that performance on the cross screams humanity
The first time I heard this song was at 4 am on the radio show magic 107.7 . I listened to the lyrics and it just sent a chill down my spine. I spend a HR trying to find this song. And when I did, The repeat button was on all the time! I love you Madonna! #1Fan!!!!
LIVE TO TELL - Still sounds so good. I remember I was driving to Cornell University with the newly purchased TRUE BLUE album, truly the only relief for a desolate drive from Eastern Central Jersey to Upstate New York. There were even mild recollections then with Bill C and Holtie. Holt loved his mother too much. Bill knew he was wrong even then. The presidency was the only thing he was concerned about.
This is, one of four songs that had me, both heart and soul! This was also the first of many songs I learned the entire lyric to. I listen to this song when I'm extremely happy or extremely sad, I've never had an in between. It's in my opinion one of her deepest and saddest songs because I know the greater meanings behind this kind of love. My first real love forced me into falling for Madonna because she pushed me away, so far away... Into the dark I was hurled! But, Madonna came to the rescue!
Why am I listening to this song at 7:00 in the morning? Too many shootings around here. It's scary. Not the same city it used to be. That's why I'm listening to this song.
@MrPacquiaomayweather You kinda need to chill on that racist stuff.People that hate die quicker.Life is short.Make peace with yourself.And that guy you called a nigger.
@MyFightingSpirit ihoneslty cannot believe Madonna can outdo this masterpiece,especially after the ICONIC Confession tour performance! if she does however the song will be crazy beautiful :)
@messyblondemid90s: There's a few different meanings; I'm not completely sure. In one interview, Madonna claimed that when she wrote the lyrics, she was thinking about her relationship with her parents.
This song evokes in me beautiful, reflective melancholy that helps me view my life and where I am going on my never-ending journey. All songs make a play for our emotions and imaginations, regardless of time, space, culture, religion, etc. It really boils down to the individual's choice. Personally, I treasure this song for its instrumentals, lyrics, and the fact the Madonna's voice lends a somber air of welcome seriousness.
I still LOVE this song from 1986....even though I was going through my first breakup while this song was a hit. It reminds me of Jill........this song is the only thing that reminds me of Jill. Btch :-)
Every decade Madonna has made one Epic Ballad: In the 80s "Live to Tell", In the 90s "Drowned World/Substitute For Love", In 00s "Paradise(Not For Me)". She is a true prophet!!
This is a truly soul illuminating ballad - written truly from with her heart, mind and spirit. It also portrays her innermost feelings of her life experiences from the past, present and even her then first love - Sean Penn.
