What's the best track on Madonna's Erotica album? I'd have to say "Deeper And Deeper". A subtle song about homosexual love, it's very well-written and has an incredibly dense production that just envelopes you and doesn't let go. The Latin flavourings on the instrumental break and the voice-only final line (when you least expect it) are also great touches. Her vocals are particularly strong on this track. Anyone remember the video for this? Very, very bad and very, very weird.
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper Sweeter and sweeter and sweeter and sweeter [Chorus:] I can't help falling in love I fall deeper and deeper the further I go Kisses sent from heaven above They get sweeter and sweeter the more that I know When you know the notes to sing You can sing most anything That's what my mama told me Round and round and round you go When you find love you'll always know I let my father mold me [Bridge:] Daddy couldn't be all wrong (Not gonna let you slip away, I'm gonna be there) And my mama made me learn this song (You're gonna bring your love to me, I'm gonna get you) That's why [chorus] The deeper I go All is fair in love she said Think with your heart, not with your head That's what my mama told me All the little things you do Will end up coming back to you I let my father mold me [bridge] [chorus, repeat] Someone said that romance was dead And I believed it instead of remembering What my mama told me Let my father mold me Then you tried to hold me You remind me what they said This feeling inside I can't explain But my love is alive And I'm never gonna hide it again [bridge] [chorus] Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper Never gonna hide it again Sweeter and sweeter and sweeter and sweeter Never gonna have to pretend [repeat] You got to just let your body move to the music You got to just let your body go with the flow Falling in love, falling in love, falling in love I can't keep from falling in love with you You know there's nothing better that I'd like to do A close second would be "Bad Girl", which is only enhanced by its cinematic video.

Rain. Great clip and since Lost in Translation is out, I guess she had some of Murray's 'Lat Pack' moments.

One of my favorite Madonna songs ever. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

While “Erotica” has many great tracks, I would have to go with the very underrated “Words”, a Indian (as in the country) influenced dance track where Madonna takes on her critics that lie or perhaps falls in love with a man (woman?...it was “Erotica”, after all) that uses words to seduce her. The funky jazzy “Secret Garden”, with it’s Madonna’s little voice sounding very girlish singing that sweet chorus, is also one of note. | |

The uptempo songs on this album are edgy and innovative,but my favorite track is the somber "Bad Girl".This is an outstanding track,and the lyrics find Maddy letting down her guard and showing a little vulnerability ("I'm not happy when I act this way" she admits).You can hear the pain and desperation in her voice as she sings "I can't bring myself to let you go".Musically,this song is gorgeous,with elegant,lush orchestration.And I'm really starting to think that the video for this song is her best,most interesting video.It could have almost been made into a really good movie! I'm thrilled that she might be performing this song on her upcoming tour.
"Bad Girl" (written by Madonna and Shep Pettibone) Something's missing and I don't know why I always feel the need to hide my feelings from you Is it me or you that I'm afraid of I tell myself I'll show you what I'm made of Can't bring myself to let you go Don't want to cause you any pain But I love you just the same And you'll always be my baby In my heart,I know we've come apart And I don't know where to start What can I do,I don't wanna feel blue (chorus) Bad Girl,drunk by six Kissing someone else's lips Smoked too many cigarettes today I'm not happy when I act this way Bad Girl,drunk by six Kissing someone else's lips Smoked too many cigarettes today I'm not happy,I'm not happy Something's happened and I don't know why I fall apart everytime you hand your heart out to me What happens now,I know I don't deserve you I wonder how I'm ever gonna hurt you Can't bring myself to let you go Don't want to cause you any pain But I love you just the same And you'll always be my baby In my heart,I know we've come apart And I don't know where to start What can I do,I don't wanna feel blue (chorus) Bad Girl,drunk by six Kissing someone else's lips Smoked too many cigarettes today I'm not happy when I act this way Bad Girl,drunk by six Kisisng someone else's lips Smoked too many cigarettes today I'm not happy when I act this way I'm not happy,I'm not happy this way I don't want to cause you any pain But I love you just the same And you'll always be my baby In my heart,I know we've come apart And I don't know where to start What can I do,I don't wanna feel blue (chorus) [This message was edited Tue Apr 27 5:33:17 2004 by DavidEye] | |

Sorry to go slightly off-topic,but....
A demo version of "Take A Bow" has just surfaced.Recorded in 1994,this is an early version that doesn't feature Babyface's vocals.You can hear it by clicking this link... http://madonnawebforum.co...abdemo.wma Maddy sounds great on this version.

He's always worked well with her (Express Yourself, Oh Father, Vogue, and Bad Girl). I have to say I think Oh Father is a more compelling video than Bad Girl, though, probably because it's more personal (remember her mother's lips sewn up by the mortician? Great imagery). It's absolutely beautiful. [This message was edited Mon Apr 19 4:57:42 2004 by VoicesCarry] | |

It's absolutely beautiful. "Oh Father" is a hauntingly beautful song and video.Imo,Madonna has more outstanding videos than any other pop artist,male or female. | |

That song shuts up anyone who only thinks Madonna writes songs like "Angel" and sings songs like "Material Girl". [This message was edited Mon Apr 19 6:48:07 2004 by VoicesCarry] | |
