Few things in this world anger me more than hearing the intro to Like a Prayer, only to have it reveal itself as that aweful house music version. Its a let down every single time. The original is a thing of beauty.

This is what you want...This is what you get.

September 7, 1990 - Rare photo, Madonna and dancers perform "Vogue" in 18th century French dress at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, California, to benefit APLA (AIDS Project Los Angeles), the day AFTER the more famous MTV Video Music Awards performance of the song. She was honored at the event with the Commitment to Life Award for her work in the AIDS crisis. Photo by Vinnie Zuffante.

And that one I posted(another reason why those early 90s the 80s and 70s etc were such a great time) that this show was like a hit in run show, it wasn't even the MTV performance. It was done at a theater

Love Song

Je suis prete. Est-ce que vous etes pret, aussi?

Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind
Oh no baby my love isn't blind
Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind
Don't go givin' me one of your lines

Say what you mean, mean what you say
Don't go and throw our love away
God strike me dead if I did you wrong
This is not a love song

Are you just being kind
Am I losing my mind

Time goes by so slowly for those who wait
And those who run seem to have all the fun
But are you wasting my time -- she's so fine
Are you just being kind

Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
That's how I feel, don't fog my...

Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
That's how I feel, don't fog my mind

Mean what you say or baby I am gone
This is not a love song

Are you just being kind
Am I losing my mind

Love song, love song
Don't try to tell me what your enemies taught you
I'm gone but I just want you to know
That this is not a love song that I want to sing

Love Song is the third track on Madonna's fourth album Like A Prayer. The track was co-written, co-performed and co-produced by Prince.

Basic tracking took place on 13 March 1988, at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

The project was initially titled Daisy Miller to disguise the artists working on the track (there was a lot of media speculation about Prince and Madonna working together and possibly being linked romantically).

Madonna and her musicians worked on the track later in 1988, and Prince added additional overdubs in mid-November 1988 at Paisley Park.

Madonna - co-lead vocals, additional synthesizer
Prince - co-lead vocals, all other instruments, except where noted
Other musical personnel not known

I could never get into love song though I tried to like it. I’m glad that they got to work together though

Def more of Prince song than Madonna imo. Love Song reminds me of 'It' with its simplicity.

I love It, but I thin Love Song is a much better song. And yes, much more a Prince song than a Madonna one.

She was takin' credit for the "off" Princey-sounding style of "Love Song" in this interview from '89. Claimed it was due to her playing keyboards:

By Alien Means - Prince Vault

By Alien Means

Unreleasedsong.jpg
Song details
Performer: Prince
Writer(s): Prince (assumed)
Producer(s): Prince (assumed)
Live Appearances
First and last live appearance:
  • This track is not believed to have been performed live by Prince
Performed regularly on tour:
  • none
Performed occasionally in shows:
  • none

By Alien Means is an unreleased track recorded at some point in 1988 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (the song was filed for copyright registration on 12 October 1988). Prince submitted the track to Madonna for inclusion on her fourth album Like A Prayer (which featured Prince on other tracks), but she turned it down, and it is unlikely that she ever recorded vocals for the track.

The track is ambitious, alternating between a slow, wistful melody and a monotonous vamp. The lyrics ask young people not to commit suicide, saying "don’t go out by alien means". The song remains unreleased.

In 1991 Prince re-used its music to update the also unreleased song Crystal City Cry intended for Ingrid Chavez.

Till Death Do Us Part

Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change, but it won't,
'Cause you don't love me no more
You need so much but not from me
Turn your back in my hour of need
Something's wrong but you pretend you don't see
I think I interrupt your life
When you laugh it cuts me just like a knife
I'm not your friend, I'm just your little wife
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change, but it won't, if you don't
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change, but it won't
'Cause you don't love me no more
They never laugh, not like before
She takes the keys, he breaks the door
She cannot stay here anymore
He's not in love with her anymore
The bruises they will fade away
You hit so hard with the things you say
I will not stay to watch your hate as it grows
You're not in love with someone else
You don't even love yourself
Still I wish you'd ask me not to go
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change, but it won't, if you don't
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change, but it won't
'Cause you don't love me no more
He takes a drink, she goes inside
He starts to scream, the vases fly
He wishes that, she wouldn't cry
He's not in love with her anymore
He makes demands, she draws the line
He starts the fight, she starts the lie
But what is true, when something dies
He's not in love with her anymore
You're not in love with someone else
You don't even love yourself
Still I wish you'd ask me not to go
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change, but it won't, if you don't
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change, but it won't
'Cause you don't love me no more
They never laugh, not like before
She takes the keys, he breaks the door
She cannot stay, here anymore
He's not in love with her anymore
He takes a drink, she goes inside
He starts to scream, the vases fly
He wishes that, she wouldn't cry
He's not in love with her anymore
He makes demands, she draws the line
He starts the fight, she starts the lie
But what is true when something dies
He's not in love with her anymore
She's had enough, she says the end
But she'll come back, she knows it then
A chance to start it all again
Till death do us part

I know, even the dancers have NO recollection of the performance at the AIDS benefit the following night, hte only way to differentiate between this and the mtv performance is the lighting: MTV: very bright, AIDS benfit: very dark.

By far my biggest disappointment in music ever ... my two fave artists of all time come together and Love Song is the result ... eugh sad Just think what an amazing funky dance track the two of them could have come up with.

On another note, LAP as an album is so overdue a remaster of SE release. Still gutted they stopped at True Blue with the re-releases.

I always liked 'Love Song' because it's so different. They clearly didn't want to create the biggest hit single of the 80s, they wanted to created something more leftfield. I love M's voice on it, and the 'time goes by...' section is gorgeous!

Promise to Try

https://www.youtube.com/w...ZrwjCDuNCY


Madonna - 05. Promise To Try

Little girl don't you forget her face
Laughing away your tears
When she was the one who felt all the pain

Little girl never forget her eyes
Keep them alive inside
I promise to try, it's not the same

Keep your head held high, ride like the wind
Never look behind, life isn't fair
That's what you said, so I try not to care

Little girl don't run away so fast
I think you forgot to kiss, kiss her goodbye

Will she see me cry when I stumble and fall
Does she hear my voice in the night when I call
Wipe away all your tears, it's gonna be all right

I fought to be so strong, I guess you knew
I was afraid you'd go away, too

Little...

Little girl you've got to forget the past
And learn to forgive me
I promise to try, but it feels like a lie

Don't let memory play games with your mind
She's a faded smile frozen in time
I'm still hanging on, but I'm doing it wrong
Can't kiss her goodbye, but I promise to try
