Love Song I just listened to one of Madonna's songs; Love Song which also features Prince. I think they recorded that song while they were dating, is that so?
Anyways I've always loved that song, but never understood why she never realesed it. Do you guys know anything about why? and what do you all think about the song? "Time goes by so slowly for those who wait" | |

I dont think it would have charted as a single. I love how its a bit daring and goes different places than most pop songs did back then, but it took a while to grow on me. | |

this one has always kind of left me surprisingly a little "ho-hum"... surprising because it's a collaboration between my two favorite artists/singers/performers/whatever.
i dunno. it's very cool, but it just kind of lays there for me. | |

i dunno. it's very cool, but it just kind of lays there for me. Me too. My idols together... sounds like they didn't want to step on each others toes. Great song, quite edgy for M in the 80s. My favourite part is the 'Time goes by so slowly...' great vocals and synths. A lost gem i guess. 3121... Don't U Wanna Come? |

a huge let down cause their voices sound so good together.
The song sounds like they "mailed it in" which is exactly what they did. They were never in the studio together IIRC. [Edited 3/29/09 13:36pm] | |

They were in the studio together at the outset, and then continued the collaboration by sending the recording back and forth. Madonna described the process in an interview here: http://allaboutmadonna.co...ummer-1989 Interviewer: You and Prince wrote "Love Song" together, which is a wonderful song. Did you and he work together or did he give you a track? Madonna: No, he didn’t give me a track. We sat down and just started fooling around. We had a lot of fun. What happened is that he played the drums and I played the synthesizer and we came up with the original melody line; I just, off the top of my head, started singing lyrics into the microphone. And then he overdubbed some guitar stuff and made a loop of it and sent it to me, and then I just started adding sections to it and singing parts to it. And then I sent it back to him, and he’d sing a part to it and add another instrument and send it back to me…it was like this sentence that turned into a paragraph that turned into a little miniseries. So it was great. It was a completely different way to work. And because of our schedules and everything, and he was in Minnesota and he likes to work there and I like to work here. So we kind of sent it back and forth. He’s great. He’s a real interesting…unique talent. Interviewer: And it was an easy connection from the beginning for the two of you? Madonna: Yeah, it was. We started out being real admirers of each other’s work. And, you know, we’re already successful so we didn’t have to prove anything to each other. We were on the same level. And I don’t think he’s had that same opportunity with other people that he’s worked with. Because generally he tends to dominate everything. .

But both Madonna and Prince are two of the most dominating people of the music industry, so it was probably too hard for him to rule over her  | |
