I also thought this look with the shoulder length honey blonde hair brought out her natural beauty more than the short, white blonde hair. She's wearing the same look in the Material girl video, plus dressed in formal wear, and she looks stunning. Wish they'd picked a better dress for her to wear for this video, but the video was reflecting the theme of the movie, so I get it.
@@MsCanadian26 agree, I knew her as a teen, and followed her career until Madame X. She is not the person I was admiring anymore. Plenty to discover or rediscover from the past: William Orbit collaboration on Ray of light, Mirwais on Music, concerts I've enjoyed: Blond Ambition Tour, Erotica. Dropped it when she moved to stadiums... best regards from Paris France !
I'm 45 now. I remember playing this song in my walk-man on my way home from a beach vacation that we took every summer. I was always so sad when we left. It was the only time and place when my parents didn't fight. My favorite song ever by Madonna. It really helped with my depression at such a very young age.
Hi Liz I have suffered e xtreme depression severe anxiety and bipolar issues.I was able to get bye with good education and became quite successful ,but I long for the 1980s and especially Madonna.
The power of music is amazing. This song reminds me of long road trips with my older brother. For some reason it feels like it was rainy a lot of those days
You’re sweet . I’m around your age . My ex looks like Madonna in this video . She is half my age . So this song haunts me . My parents didn’t get along either even on vacation but I think we both turned out ok even though it’s so sad when your parents aren’t close

This beautiful song almost makes me cry every time I hear it 😢. Brings me back memories of the good old days when my beloved parents were young, healthy and alive too . The 80s and 90s will always be unforgettable.
To me, this is Madonna's best song, period. The melody, music arrangements, accurate music transitions, but especially by the amazing job Madonna did with the lyrics. Amazing songwriter.
+Bob Silver Cars sucked, people smoked everywhere, hairstyles were terrible and you never knew who you would get when you called on a phone. But we were 30 years younger. That probably outweights all of that.
Cellphones and internet is used to communicate with your friends and loved ones far away but .... It became TOO much for now... you could see other malicious websites that is not safe for children.. and SO many things.
@dennis adams: Yes they do. But not in the public way. Go listen to Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson, Black Field, No-Man, Storm Corrosion). Thank me later ;-D
When I had my first job and bought a walkman (well, a General Electric knockoff), True Blue was one of the first cassettes I bought (at Kmart); the cassette itself was made of clear plastic, and oddly enough, smelled like grapes. I'd listen to that song many times on that tape, along with some Huey Lewis and the News (Do you like Huey Lewis and the News? ;)
@@melissaparks6290 this was when she was in her prime before she got full of herself and let it all go to her head. There was few female artists who were on her level at this time. Maybe Whitney Houston
This song really is imo Madonna's finest. It has a mysterious and vulnerable feel, along with beautiful melodies and arrangements. A great vocal too ❤️
I like this because this is telling a story, and it comes from the depth and shows angst of a woman who has gone through a hard heart-break. Of course, men can relate to that happening to them, as well. She also says she now understand where beauty lives. She's beginning to mature and can see different possibilities that the younger version couldn't see, and that she is rising above it all. I love this song, too. I could agree that it's Madonna's best song.
Extra bittersweet for me...I grew up in the area where this movie was filmed.The opening scene is the way the "old" Franklin Tennessee and surrounding area looked. My Grandmother lived just a few blocks from the square.As a child we would walk uptown to shop. I grew up swimming in the rock quarry that the swimming scenes were filmed in and was on medical standby the days they filmed. The 80's and the music were special. This song takes me back....
@@1olddirtroad that’s so awesome! I love At Close Range. Underrated film with great performances by Sean Penn and Christopher Walken. The music and this song is the best thing about it. Is that square still there today?
@@bleep77 It is but is slightly different...the area has grown so much. The tractor sales company seen in the movie is gone. Lots of new upscale businesses and restaurants downtown now.The Williamson County Courthouse is still there."Chip" the monument in the square is under ''Cancel Culture" attack. Its still a nice place but very expensive to buy houses and land. Thanks for posting this song!
As a kid, Madonna was all over MTV. She seemed fun and talented, but when this video came out, I was stunned by how beautiful she is and what an emotive, beautiful voice she has.
Same 👊 and it didn't hurt to have had a major crush on her back then , and still to this day . And at the time we had to hide the fact that we liked some of her music lol. Rock on Man 🤘👊
@@bryansanchez8448 At Close Range is the name of movie was released in 1986, if I recall , but I know that the movie is based on real life events that took place In Kentucky. Which definitely makes it a real sad movie.
"Live to Tell" is the story of my life. I have listened to it a thousand times, and I have yet to get through it without crying. I know she lived it! So did I, and likely many others. But only she had the talent of soul to write it down, and set it to music in this deeply touching way. What an artist she is! I love her!
@@jasonchapman2047 lol. She probably latched onto the part where "a man can tell a thousand lies" and thought "Yes! that's all my relationships ever!" Insta-feminism.
I don't know what it is with the 80's, but the music really has a distinct sound and feel. An air of mystery and complexity in sound that we sadly no longer hear that often these days.
I say the same about the music of the mid 60's through the late 70's. Our youth has a lot to do with they way we listened to music and the memories we have attached to that music. That creates a VERY strong bond and it becomes our "Nostalgia". But, like one person said, Patrick Ray Leonard use of the more modern Keyboards, which were Synthesizers, made a difference. And like he said, you can hear it in this song. I think the use of the "Synthesizers" and the "Electronic Drum Machine" was by far the biggest difference in the music of the 80's. There was a bit of it in the 70's but it was certainly an 80's style. What followed was new genre's of music, Synth Music, Techno, Electronic Dance Music, Disco, etc... I wasn't a fan of that style so it was easy for me to pick up on the change in music. It's simply because I didn't grow up with that music. I was more of a Zeppelin, Stones, Pink Floyd, CCR, Rush, the list goes on, kind of fan. Because it's what I knew. But there were a few of Madonna's songs I liked. This being one of them. And I think her album "Ray Of Light" is amazing.
@@zdenekburian-bc9hm Spot on. Synthesizers and I would add the use of the Drum Machine. The use of it in this song sounds good. Those 2 things, in my opinion was the 80's rolled up in a musical package. But a little Synth and Drum Machine can go a long way. And that's just my fan of 67-79's music opinion. I think music will ALWAYS be a generational thing. It's just the way of things. : >)
A few years ago I almost got in a fight with someone who said that Lady Gaga was better than Madonna. I am hard rock fan but I really like a few songs by Madonna and this one is my favorite by her. As for Gaga, it isn't close. Don't like a single song by her.
I would say that Lady Gaga is hugely influenced by some of the great songstresses of the 70s and 80s,but has shown a keenness to experiment,something that is far too scarce in mainstream music nowadays,and an appreciation of the art of music. She hasn't produced anything I know of to hold a candle to this yet,though.
I am privilege to have grown up in the times and likes of Madonna, Laura Branigan, Cindy Lauper when music was pure and good and authentic. This is one of Madonna's crowning jewels in her illustrious cabinet of wonderful, wonderful timeless classics. The pure unadulterated simplicity of 'Live to Tell' and the deep emotions it evokes goes on to say this one song is Madonnas heart and soul poured out in intricate melodies, hauntingly beautiful and heart warming!
@@kuuttinen I wish I could go back as well. The eighties and 90's were the greatest for music and movies. Great guitarists and voices, Terminator, Rocky, Rambo, they don't do 80's lifestyle anymore. It's all gone. The music and actors of today are no comparison to the 80's. These people don't know what they missed out on.
All of these women influenced me musically! I had the True Blue CD in my walkman at all times :) I was unfortunately born way too late, but luckily my parents were in high school in the 80s and I inherited their music tastes instantly
Madonna’s song writing skills are so underrated. This song lyrically is a poem. Her vocals shine and radiate the emotions perfectly. Total masterpiece!
@@amberl4053 Yes, she did, in an article years ago I remember Patrick Leonard, the composer of the song said I guess, she sat and wrote the lyrics one time, and sang and recorded it for one time. Madonna wrote the lyrics of almost all of her songs, you can check this out, they're from her heart, she's not just a singer but an amazing songwriter.
I dedicate this song to all who live to tell the truth. Even though it is difficult, it is worth it to keep your heart pure, full of love and light ✨❤️✨
As a songwriter, this is the greatest song she ever wrote. And I believe she wrote this is minutes. People don’t give her enough credit. She’s an excellent songwriter.
Hits you hard. Sums up the 80s, was in high school aged 14 when this was out! Amazing memories. I always tell my son to cherish every minute of his youth. Best days!!
Me too, 14 in 1986 Class of '89. I'm a metalhead and I love this song and the movie. I don't have any kids but every single day I wish I could go back to the '80s. Best days especially 1986.
I might be critized by some hardcore Madonna fans… but in my humble opinion.. this was the top of her game. Musically and in terms of her beauty… was a beast! What a stunning woman!
I dont know if would apear another madonna now aday,man she was themost spectacular singer I can remember. Still she is able to comp..music yeah real music not trash like now aday we hear. I just lisent her musical poem and go back in times just to remember such nostalgia,,it was fantastic or it is fabuluos to remember
Live to Tell is part of her “True Blue” album, which was, when it came out, her best-selling album (her best-selling album is 1990’s “The Immaculate Collection”, which is basically a greatest hits album). In general, her True Blue album got big praise, one of reasons being Madonna’s voice and how it was stronger and less bubbly than it was before. In this era, Madonna showcases her versatility so well, and that’s one of the reasons why I personally think this was Madonna’s “height” if you will :D
Out of the fantastic career that Madonna had and all the great music this icon has put out I can honestly say ''Live to Tell'' is my absolute favorite..I love Madonna
Yeah what's haunting about it is that this guy is real and I know because I have been on a maximum security AKA the hole for three years with this nut and he doesn't care or recognize what he did bottom line it's all true
This animal can't hold a candle to Google Facebook and the developer's trust me on that do you ever think we will get to see any one of them scumbags with there fake privacy policy in a dungeon like the mohawk at camphill
It's a long story what's haunting about this song but yeah your right about that someday I will tell you what it is that is so haunting about it but you will just have to trust me I know what is haunting about it so you got good instincts
Captivating beauty, isn't she? And you can tell how she loves to sing about love. I haven't seen Sean Penn look that young in a long time! She took a long time to over him, I remember.
@@dougsfavorites2578 "At Close Range" is basically forgotten. It's never played in syndication on any of the major cable or streaming networks. It's like you have to "know about the movie" to search it out and see it.
@@kevinraval1625 1. Live to Tell 2. You'll See 3. Take A Bow My top 3 Madonna songs. And I'm not a Madonna fan, at all, really. Grew up on her music because I'm a Millenial, but those 3 songs are stellar.
I'm a Rock guy through and through, but the sheer talent of Madonna never ceases to amaze me. Detroit's finest is kind of the female equivalent to Elvis. She is beyond legendary. I remember seeing the movie, At Close Range, and this song just gripped me, it still does. An accomplished drummer and guitar player as well as a great songwriter. And, oh, that voice.
I never forgot a time when madonna was promoting the album american life on MTV... and the song has a kind of "rap" in the middle, which talks about prejudice and illusion, etc... At the end of the song someone from the audience compared her to the eminem, and she replied...."I was born in detroit first...."
This movie, At Close Range, is based on a true story. Madonna and Sean Penn were married when this movie was released. Michigan proud for sure, Madonna 💕
Ric. Same man, at the time listening to Metallica. Maiden and the usual suspects, Madonnas True Blue got spun a lot. Still sounds fresh today. Today's popular music has nothing on this. This song stomps on anything these modern hacks produce.
@@ricenglish4556 Absolutely Ric. And at a time when some of these current artists sample. Borrow and downright steal other artists melody lines. Bass lines and whatever else they could take some cues from Madonna and learn to write their own catchy hooks.
@@brawlmania3a foto de pessoas (artistas e anônimas) que apareceram no show durante essa música, foram pessoas que morreram de AIDS.

Sugiro que pesquise sobre para entender melhor. Enquanto muita gente virava as costas por puro preconceito ou medo. Ela estava de alguma ou várias maneiras, lutando pela existência dessas pessoas. Ela.perdeu pessoas muito queridas para a AIDS. Observe que no final da apresentação, ela segura um balão vermelho. O vermelho simboliza a luta e conscientização contra a disseminação e preconceito do HIV. Algo assim...
One of the best songs ever written: "If I run away, I'll never have the strength to go very far how would they hear the beating of my heart" ... "a man can tell a thousand lies" every word in this song!!!
This song brings back memories. I was 8 years old in hospital after having open heart surgery and i would play this song over and over. The true blue album is a very special album to me and live to tell is a special song. Madonna is just the best ❤
This is incredibile and beautiful song , from True Blue album , only Madona can do This . Thank you so much Madona for your activity and your work , Madona you are The great artist and musician !.
I would like to see Madonna and Sean Penn back together. Everyone knows they still love each other. M's True Blue album was inspired by and dedicated to Sean. M made great music when they were married.
@tony congliano seems to be a common theme I hear now for those of us who grew up in that era , it seems like another world that just remains golden in our minds speaking for myself at least. Keep 80's music alive. Cheers mate. 🤘😎 .
SDC 8388 I have a problem with people tagging this song as a ballad. This song is too epic to be considered just a ballad. Is more like a power pop or a pop rock to me.
Here I am listening to this amazing song at 3am…It takes me back to a time when life was different. I wish I can go back and relive those times. All we can do is reminisce my friends.
She sang this beautiful song last weekend for her comeback tour in london and paid tribute to the loved ones and people who died of aids while singing this song. 😢😢😢I couldnt stop crying from watching it. the most striking and moving performance ever. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 thank you madonna. her dance teacher who made her go to ny to pursue her dream, will be very proud of her in heaven now. Lets remember and honor them 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 the queen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Remember there is a cure for AIDS. Found and proven in the 90s. Read "Virus Mania", 2020. The short of it is: Good food, no junk food, clean water, no more alt lifestyle, no poppers or other drugs. Heals the immune system.
"It was kind of inspired by the movie and family secrets (At Close Range) and the things that make you who you are, but you don't necessarily want to share” - Madonna
I don't know why I am answering but I love this song too and I almost passed away on Feb 29 2024. Glad I survived. I hope your Dad had a good life, man. You gotta enjoy every minute! Even the bad times have value!
I wasn't a teen then I was little, but I do remember how good it all was then people seemed much more 'human'.Society today seems so robotic and contrived.
StarlightShadowDancer Oh no, of course. That's one of the things I hated about watching Stranger Things. Despite being a great show (As well as taking place the year I was born) it just reminded me of something we'll never have again. There were no smart phones, or internet, family shows had some kind of lesson and not an agenda, being American was a point of pride. Anyhow... I imagine watching that show is like being with the prom queen back in high school and remembering how great she was, then showing up to the ten year reunion where she has three kids with three fathers, on her third shitty marriage and is seven months sober and clean from a heroin addiction. Yet you see her yearbook photo and walk down memory lane with her... then see her as she is now. Or for a woman to do the same with the Quarterback. The contrast is just... too much.
Fun fact, her “True Blue” album still remains one of the best selling albums of all time. Three different songs from the album were number one hits on the US Billboard 100: “Live to Tell”, “Papa Don’t Preach”, and “Open Your Heart”. If RUclips existed in the 80’s a lot of her songs would’ve had hundreds of millions of views! And Madonna is still awesome in 2024 :)
@@felipeserrato6271 I didn’t exist during that era lol. But luckily I had a mother who grew up in the 80’s; so as I grew up, 80’s music in the house and the car was extremely common! It caught on to me so much, and that’s why I adore 80’s music (it would get my vote for the best decade for music), including Madonna :D
My absolute favorite song from Madonna! Here shows Madonna impressively how good she is. Perfect voicing and song arrangement. You can't do better than that. It's not without reason that this song is still played everywhere today. When the song came out I was 14, time flies.
I don't know who was behind this era of her music - but it was some truly classic melodies. Even if the pop prior and pop later of her music falls off, the songs she made in this part of her career will forever be timeless.
I have to agree, this is Madonna's best song ever. The percussion beat emphasises the the power of the lyrics. And as a few have mentioned, her lower register is just so stunningly beautiful. An exceptionally talented lady, if somewhat controversial. But hey, don't be scared to challenge the establishment.
@@snowflake8629 Some of her very suggestive performances and dress styles that she used. And I'm not criticising, purely commenting on the way it was reported by some of the media.
@@snowflake8629 watch Madonna truth or dare and you will see, she refused to change her art style and performance in Canada, and almost got arrested, from her like a virgin performance, all the croach thrust and stuff, was very sexual, but that was her style, mad respect to Madonna for not compromising.
This is one of those songs that has cross generational appeal, I know from experience. I grew up on this song because my mom had it on cassette. I have it on my driving playlist and now my 16 year old son is nuts about it. Great tune!
This is by far Madonna's best song of her career, hands down, and one of the very best pop hits of the 80's! The lyrics and music are haunting and brilliant, and they cut deep. The song was so breathtaking that Sean Penn, Madonna's husband at the time, handpicked it as a soundtrack song to his 1986 underrated crime drama At Close Range that co-starred Christopher Walken, which I recommend everybody see.
This song came out when I was in the midst of a personal crisis. This is going to maybe sound a bit lame, but frankly, it helped me deal with the feelings of hopelessness I felt at the time; especially the bridge.
I can’t even explain it, but this song has such a powerful gut-wrenching feeling that makes my eyes well up with tears. I probably heard it through my parents as a child because they were both madonna fans- but it has a strong overwhelming nostalgic feeling to it.
I'm just playing with ya bc I totally agree but what about metallica?...not pop so.. different? That's cool. Anyway, I do recall that she held the crown, madonna...cyndi lauper, Deb gibson, others...didn't match up... Unless you want to go whitney about it.. that's where opinions kick in, haha.

I like this because this is telling a story, and it comes from the depth and shows angst of a woman who has gone through a hard heart-break. Of course, men can relate to that happening to them, as well. She also says she now understand where beauty lives. She's beginning to mature and can see different possibilities that the younger version couldn't see, and that she is rising above it all. I love this song, too. I could agree that it's Madonna's best song.
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
When life was more simple more pure less media i agree
Yep. Best time ever.
Extra bittersweet for me...I grew up in the area where this movie was filmed.The opening scene is the way the "old" Franklin Tennessee and surrounding area looked.
My Grandmother lived just a few blocks from the square.As a child we would walk uptown to shop.
I grew up swimming in the rock quarry that the swimming scenes were filmed in and was on medical standby the days they filmed.

@@1olddirtroad that’s so awesome! I love At Close Range. Underrated film with great performances by Sean Penn and Christopher Walken. The music and this song is the best thing about it. Is that square still there today?
@@bleep77 It is but is slightly different...the area has grown so much. The tractor sales company seen in the movie is gone. Lots of new upscale businesses and restaurants downtown now.The Williamson County Courthouse is still there."Chip" the monument in the square is under ''Cancel Culture" attack. Its still a nice place but very expensive to buy houses and land.
Thanks for posting this song!
This song is for song when we were,going together!!!!
As a kid, Madonna was all over MTV. She seemed fun and talented, but when this video came out, I was stunned by how beautiful she is and what an emotive, beautiful voice she has.
She gets better with age.
Everyone is beautiful when all the right angles and makeup are applied.
Speaking as a mathematician, she looks spectacular at many other angles besides right angles -- just sayin' 😀@@merlinambrosius2554

One of her best ballad ever and one of the best ballad of the 80's
One of the best ballads ever like top 10
Im 49..a metal head..but this is the best madonna song..and at close range is one of my fav movies
Same 👊 and it didn't hurt to have had a major crush on her back then , and still to this day . And at the time we had to hide the fact that we liked some of her music lol. Rock on Man 🤘👊
same...
Daddy daddy give me something..great flick
this would make a cool metal cover
Same! You are a man of good taste.
This song will never age. It's one of her most beautiful songs. The production, her vocals,.the lyrics. Ahhhmaaazing
omg, 37 years later! this never gets old, one of her greatest
🙏
Facts 💯
WOW, hard to believe it's been that long. I've seen this movie a dozen times. Stunning performances by the Penn brothers.
2023.. and it still carries that nostalgic haunting vibe...
Real music never dies.
What movie is this from
@@bryansanchez8448 At Close Range is the name of movie was released in 1986, if I recall , but I know that the movie is based on real life events that took place In Kentucky. Which definitely makes it a real sad movie.
@@rare_wulf9358 thank you it looks like a good movie
Good Gold The Madonna!
"Live to Tell" is the story of my life. I have listened to it a thousand times, and I have yet to get through it without crying. I know she lived it! So did I, and likely many others. But only she had the talent of soul to write it down, and set it to music in this deeply touching way. What an artist she is! I love her!
Live to Tell was written for the movie at close range based on true story about a father who killed his son's you live that wow interesting
@@jasonchapman2047 lol. She probably latched onto the part where "a man can tell a thousand lies" and thought "Yes! that's all my relationships ever!" Insta-feminism.
@@jasonchapman2047Infelizmente indiretamente isso as vezes acontece
I don't know what it is with the 80's, but the music really has a distinct sound and feel.
An air of mystery and complexity in sound that we sadly no longer hear that often these days.
it's because we were young
but yes, i agree
That sound is given by the keyboards of the 80 years,in this song is the keyboardist:Patrick Ray Leonard 👑💞💕💝
The 80s were the peak of the music industry. Then only repeats. remixes and so on.
I say the same about the music of the mid 60's through the late 70's. Our youth has a lot to do with they way we listened to music and the memories we have attached to that music. That creates a VERY strong bond and it becomes our "Nostalgia". But, like one person said, Patrick Ray Leonard use of the more modern Keyboards, which were Synthesizers, made a difference. And like he said, you can hear it in this song. I think the use of the "Synthesizers" and the "Electronic Drum Machine" was by far the biggest difference in the music of the 80's. There was a bit of it in the 70's but it was certainly an 80's style. What followed was new genre's of music, Synth Music, Techno, Electronic Dance Music, Disco, etc... I wasn't a fan of that style so it was easy for me to pick up on the change in music. It's simply because I didn't grow up with that music. I was more of a Zeppelin, Stones, Pink Floyd, CCR, Rush, the list goes on, kind of fan. Because it's what I knew. But there were a few of Madonna's songs I liked. This being one of them. And I think her album "Ray Of Light" is amazing.
@@zdenekburian-bc9hm Spot on. Synthesizers and I would add the use of the Drum Machine. The use of it in this song sounds good. Those 2 things, in my opinion was the 80's rolled up in a musical package. But a little Synth and Drum Machine can go a long way. And that's just my fan of 67-79's music opinion. I think music will ALWAYS be a generational thing. It's just the way of things. : >)
One of her best songs. An underrated gem.
I think this is her best vocal performance
she was a beauty back then and up until she transformed into a monkey!
Underrated?😂🙄
kind of .. underrated ..
Those synths gives me the chills. The 80's had the best synth sounds IMO.
2:47 is where I got chills
Meteorotaki true true , amazing and haunting sounds
right??!!!
FM synthesis, gave us all those bright and sparkly bell sounds
Meteorotaki it's my favorite part of the song as well
Absolutely one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever...the music today doesn't even come close 💗
A few years ago I almost got in a fight with someone who said that Lady Gaga was better than Madonna. I am hard rock fan but I really like a few songs by Madonna and this one is my favorite by her. As for Gaga, it isn't close. Don't like a single song by her.
❤every time I listen to this song my heart beats too hard.
Well written, Dayna...from one 'hauntingly beautiful' to another. Yeah...I had ta go there. 😏
I would say that Lady Gaga is hugely influenced by some of the great songstresses of the 70s and 80s,but has shown a keenness to experiment,something that is far too scarce in mainstream music nowadays,and an appreciation of the art of music. She hasn't produced anything I know of to hold a candle to this yet,though.

Amo Madonna ❤
I am privilege to have grown up in the times and likes of Madonna, Laura Branigan, Cindy Lauper when music was pure and good and authentic. This is one of Madonna's crowning jewels in her illustrious cabinet of wonderful, wonderful timeless classics. The pure unadulterated simplicity of 'Live to Tell' and the deep emotions it evokes goes on to say this one song is Madonnas heart and soul poured out in intricate melodies, hauntingly beautiful and heart warming!
I agree. If I had the chance to go back to the 80's I would. I miss the 80's/90's every day.
@@kuuttinen I wish I could go back as well. The eighties and 90's were the greatest for music and movies. Great guitarists and voices, Terminator, Rocky, Rambo, they don't do 80's lifestyle anymore. It's all gone. The music and actors of today are no comparison to the 80's. These people don't know what they missed out on.
All of these women influenced me musically! I had the True Blue CD in my walkman at all times :) I was unfortunately born way too late, but luckily my parents were in high school in the 80s and I inherited their music tastes instantly
Same ❤
Eu também, mas para nossos pais a música não era pura e nem Madonna😅😅😅❤❤❤
In my opinion, this is her best song ❤️
I agree wholeheartedly. She's done some AMAZING records but this one seperates itself across the board
so beautiful
Im an 80's Kid. Love all her slow songs the best. 80's ROCK.....
I couldn't agree with you more. This is the best song for me. Better than her Crazy For You.
I agree!
Best Madonna song ever. shows her true talent
Agree, she isn't the greatest singer but her invocation of emotion in this song (and many others like Oh Father) keep me in tears ❤️
So young! It blows my mind to think that this was 38 years ago. I also love Bill Frisell's instrumental version of this great song.
One of her best ballads. Madonna truly knows how to write and produce a ballad.
This is one my favourites of her songs. It may be my favourite of her slower tempo ones.
SHELL
Madonna has written like 50 amazing ballads. #ballad_queen
This is a ballad but also has a BPM of 112. Madonna ballads always have high energy.
I think it's her best but Patrick Leonard wrote this song, most of the songs she has are written for her, not by her.
Madonna’s song writing skills are so underrated. This song lyrically is a poem. Her vocals shine and radiate the emotions perfectly. Total masterpiece!
I didnt know she wrote this. Love her for it
@@amberl4053 Yes, she did, in an article years ago I remember Patrick Leonard, the composer of the song said I guess, she sat and wrote the lyrics one time, and sang and recorded it for one time. Madonna wrote the lyrics of almost all of her songs, you can check this out, they're from her heart, she's not just a singer but an amazing songwriter.
That is all true
She's a legend!!..
@@amberl4053 this song was to her ex husband Sean Penn us 80s babies know
Madonna is one of music history's supertalents.
Madonna is arguably the most successful female artist of all time.
Christoper Walken n Sean Penn amazing
I dedicate this song to all who live to tell the truth. Even though it is difficult, it is worth it to keep your heart pure, full of love and light ✨❤️✨
От таких как ты учишься лжи,злобе и предательству
Beautiful comment
❤❤❤❤❤ very well said I love every word
Absolutely
Jesus is the way, the TRUTH and the life
As a songwriter, this is the greatest song she ever wrote. And I believe she wrote this is minutes. People don’t give her enough credit. She’s an excellent songwriter.
Ecxept she didn't write it, she co-wrote it. Which means she didn't write it.
She wrote the lyrics. Leonard wrote the music
Average lyrics/vocals... good musicianship/production.
Agreed. This is her best. Gorgeous song.
the best song remains " The power of goodbye"
Hits you hard. Sums up the 80s, was in high school aged 14 when this was out! Amazing memories. I always tell my son to cherish every minute of his youth. Best days!!
I graduated high school in 1986 the year this song was released.
Graduated 1989... Well said and couldn't agree more. I told my high school aged son something similar a few weeks ago.
Me too, 14 in 1986 Class of '89. I'm a metalhead and I love this song and the movie. I don't have any kids but every single day I wish I could go back to the '80s. Best days especially 1986.

Madonna is Awesome
I might be critized by some hardcore Madonna fans… but in my humble opinion.. this was the top of her game. Musically and in terms of her beauty… was a beast! What a stunning woman!
I dont know if would apear another madonna now aday,man she was themost spectacular singer I can remember.
Still she is able to comp..music yeah real music not trash like now aday we hear. I just lisent her musical poem and go back in times just to remember such nostalgia,,it was fantastic or it is fabuluos to remember
You are not the only one to think this.
This is one of the amazing ones.
Live to Tell is part of her “True Blue” album, which was, when it came out, her best-selling album (her best-selling album is 1990’s “The Immaculate Collection”, which is basically a greatest hits album).
In general, her True Blue album got big praise, one of reasons being Madonna’s voice and how it was stronger and less bubbly than it was before. In this era, Madonna showcases her versatility so well, and that’s one of the reasons why I personally think this was Madonna’s “height” if you will :D
Agree with you totally this is her coming to the fore of her talent.
Madonna in the 80s was so awesome. She had so many great songs out then. This song is so beautiful ❤️❤️
...and 90's as well (Vogue, Rain, I'll remember, Take a Bow, You'll See, Frozen, The Power of Goodbye, Ray of Light, etc)
And she's so pretty back then.
@@fearnobodyandtrustnoone Still pretty
@@debrawarriner5211 naa...too many surgeries done to her face nowadays. I like natural beauty.

Mine too 🎼💥
Madonna’s greatest song. Haunting and stands alone.
Kevin Cosgrove: Absolutely!

I agree with this
One of Madonnas best songs. I live to tell.
Yup realy i love listening it
There's something hauntingly beautiful about this song...chills
Yes, the lyrics, the music arrangement and of course, Madonna's vocals
Yeah what's haunting about it is that this guy is real and I know because I have been on a maximum security AKA the hole for three years with this nut and he doesn't care or recognize what he did bottom line it's all true
This animal can't hold a candle to Google Facebook and the developer's trust me on that do you ever think we will get to see any one of them scumbags with there fake privacy policy in a dungeon like the mohawk at camphill
Oh my girl right ! I love it
It's a long story what's haunting about this song but yeah your right about that someday I will tell you what it is that is so haunting about it but you will just have to trust me I know what is haunting about it so you got good instincts
Captivating beauty, isn't she?
And you can tell how she loves to sing about love.
I haven't seen Sean Penn look that young in a long time!
She took a long time to over him, I remember.
Over 35 years later and this song still rips open old wounds.
Truth 😢
So true!
Ain’t that the truth...
I hadn’t heard it since i was little kid. Heard it at a xmas party. I was like oh shit, I forgot about this song
Micha: TRUE fact!!!!!!!
This is without doubt her best song ever
Cant agree more
It’s #2 for me. Take A Bow is #1.
She wrote for Sean Penn who was her husband at t h e time. Good movie "At Close Range"
@@dougsfavorites2578 "At Close Range" is basically forgotten. It's never played in syndication on any of the major cable or streaming networks. It's like you have to "know about the movie" to search it out and see it.
@@kevinraval1625 1. Live to Tell
2. You'll See
3. Take A Bow
My top 3 Madonna songs. And I'm not a Madonna fan, at all, really. Grew up on her music because I'm a Millenial, but those 3 songs are stellar.
I'm a Rock guy through and through, but the sheer talent of Madonna never ceases to amaze me. Detroit's finest is kind of the female equivalent to Elvis. She is beyond legendary. I remember seeing the movie, At Close Range, and this song just gripped me, it still does. An accomplished drummer and guitar player as well as a great songwriter. And, oh, that voice.
I never forgot a time when madonna was promoting the album american life on MTV... and the song has a kind of "rap" in the middle, which talks about prejudice and illusion, etc... At the end of the song someone from the audience compared her to the eminem, and she replied...."I was born in detroit first...."
This movie, At Close Range, is based on a true story. Madonna and Sean Penn were married when this movie was released. Michigan proud for sure, Madonna 💕
Ric. Same man, at the time listening to Metallica. Maiden and the usual suspects, Madonnas True Blue got spun a lot. Still sounds fresh today. Today's popular music has nothing on this. This song stomps on anything these modern hacks produce.
@@andrewmorrow6982 -- Good ears, Andrew. No matter what type of music, you still have to put notes together and make a melody.
@@ricenglish4556 Absolutely Ric. And at a time when some of these current artists sample. Borrow and downright steal other artists melody lines. Bass lines and whatever else they could take some cues from Madonna and learn to write their own catchy hooks.
One of her best songs, lyrically and musically. "The Celebration Tour" reignited my love for this song. A masterpiece.
I have always felt a personal connection with Madonna. She puts a great deal of energy into her shows which relects her pride in her work.

Alguém sabe de quem eram aquelas fotos que aparecem durante o show dela nesse ano? Fiquei sem entender
@@brawlmania3a foto de pessoas (artistas e anônimas) que apareceram no show durante essa música, foram pessoas que morreram de AIDS. Ela faz homenagem a essas pessoas, pois durante a Pandemia de AIDS na década de 80 e 90, ela foi a única (até onde sei) que estava do lado da comunidade LGBTQIA+ ela colocava informações, tipo uma cartilha de como de previnir do HIV no seus cds ou discos. Sugiro que pesquise sobre para entender melhor. Enquanto muita gente virava as costas por puro preconceito ou medo. Ela estava de alguma ou várias maneiras, lutando pela existência dessas pessoas. Ela.perdeu pessoas muito queridas para a AIDS. Observe que no final da apresentação, ela segura um balão vermelho. O vermelho simboliza a luta e conscientização contra a disseminação e preconceito do HIV. Algo assim...
Her best song by a mile. Hits me in the feels.
You are so right

One of the best songs ever written: "If I run away, I'll never have the strength to go very far how would they hear the beating of my heart" ... "a man can tell a thousand lies" every word in this song!!!
I read your comment at the very moment that part of the song played!
And her voice as she sings it. Gives me chills every time
Interesting that you emphasized the lyric...”a man can tell a thousand lies”. Not all men are liars. Just saying. ✌🏻

@tony congliano seems to be a common theme I hear now for those of us who grew up in that era , it seems like another world that just remains golden in our minds speaking for myself at least. Keep 80's music alive. Cheers mate. 🤘😎 .
In my opinion, this is Madonna's best ballad. Also, "At Close Range" is one of the most underrated films of the 1980's. I highly recommend it.
SDC 8388 I have a problem with people tagging this song as a ballad. This song is too epic to be considered just a ballad. Is more like a power pop or a pop rock to me.

Spanish Eyes is also good.
Totally agree on both counts!

Oh no, of course. That's one of the things I hated about watching Stranger Things. Despite being a great show (As well as taking place the year I was born) it just reminded me of something we'll never have again. There were no smart phones, or internet, family shows had some kind of lesson and not an agenda, being American was a point of pride.
Anyhow... I imagine watching that show is like being with the prom queen back in high school and remembering how great she was, then showing up to the ten year reunion where she has three kids with three fathers, on her third shitty marriage and is seven months sober and clean from a heroin addiction. Yet you see her yearbook photo and walk down memory lane with her... then see her as she is now. Or for a woman to do the same with the Quarterback. The contrast is just... too much.
Good time to be 35-ish too.
Fun fact, her “True Blue” album still remains one of the best selling albums of all time. Three different songs from the album were number one hits on the US Billboard 100: “Live to Tell”, “Papa Don’t Preach”, and “Open Your Heart”. If RUclips existed in the 80’s a lot of her songs would’ve had hundreds of millions of views!
And Madonna is still awesome in 2024 :)
ta la dentro mano do ceu
At that time I visiting Mexico and you could hear all them songs over there
@@felipeserrato6271 I didn’t exist during that era lol. But luckily I had a mother who grew up in the 80’s; so as I grew up, 80’s music in the house and the car was extremely common! It caught on to me so much, and that’s why I adore 80’s music (it would get my vote for the best decade for music), including Madonna :D
MTV was there and it generated a lot of big hits.
Concordo
My absolute favorite song from Madonna!
Here shows Madonna impressively how good she is. Perfect voicing and song arrangement. You can't do better than that. It's not without reason that this song is still played everywhere today.
When the song came out I was 14, time flies.
Ja
I love this one and Frozen
and 'Dear Jessie'
Yeah man , absolutely without a doubt .
How about "Oh Father"?
I don't know who was behind this era of her music - but it was some truly classic melodies.
Even if the pop prior and pop later of her music falls off, the songs she made in this part of her career will forever be timeless.
Madonna's best song. Ever.
written and produced by Madonna and Pat Leonard and recorded the vocal in just a couple of hours and thought it would be sung by someone else!
Don't forget Take a bow
Cherish is
This Hung Up Spotlight and White Heat are probably my top favourites
Yes!!
Simply the BEST song she ever recorded. This comes from a hardcore Madonna fan.
Can't agree more.. I think her no 1 song and no 1 album
Oh Father.
Burning up.
It is one of her best. I always go back to Take a Bow as her best but it’s all good music.
This Hung Up and Spotlight are my favourite songs from her
I have to agree, this is Madonna's best song ever. The percussion beat emphasises the the power of the lyrics. And as a few have mentioned, her lower register is just so stunningly beautiful. An exceptionally talented lady, if somewhat controversial. But hey, don't be scared to challenge the establishment.
Ooh how was she controversial?
@@snowflake8629 Some of her very suggestive performances and dress styles that she used. And I'm not criticising, purely commenting on the way it was reported by some of the media.
@@snowflake8629 watch Madonna truth or dare and you will see, she refused to change her art style and performance in Canada, and almost got arrested, from her like a virgin performance, all the croach thrust and stuff, was very sexual, but that was her style, mad respect to Madonna for not compromising.
SHELL
One of Madonna's best songs
Easily the best she's done.
This is one of those songs that has cross generational appeal, I know from experience. I grew up on this song because my mom had it on cassette. I have it on my driving playlist and now my 16 year old son is nuts about it. Great tune!
Same with me but I am twelve
Probably would have never heard this song again if it wasn't for RUclips. Great things from the past 😊
It's great that kids are gettiing into the music us Adults are into. Variety is the spice of life!
This is by far Madonna's best song of her career, hands down, and one of the very best pop hits of the 80's! The lyrics and music are haunting and brilliant, and they cut deep. The song was so breathtaking that Sean Penn, Madonna's husband at the time, handpicked it as a soundtrack song to his 1986 underrated crime drama At Close Range that co-starred Christopher Walken, which I recommend everybody see.
This song came out when I was in the midst of a personal crisis. This is going to maybe sound a bit lame, but frankly, it helped me deal with the feelings of hopelessness I felt at the time; especially the bridge.
Wil Manric not lame at all ❤️

This song is so beautiful but haunting for me at the same time. It speaks to the ending of something you thought would always be there
a woman can to been there
Great fuckin call Michael. So true
Yes...so true...Michael
Said perfectly
Stream Madonna
I can’t even explain it, but this song has such a powerful gut-wrenching feeling that makes my eyes well up with tears. I probably heard it through my parents as a child because they were both madonna fans- but it has a strong overwhelming nostalgic feeling to it.
Fast Car has a similar effect on me
Sa me things
Same here ...I wish to go back in time...be with both my parents
I know how you feel it just life your sprit.
I listened to this song so much on 2015.
Can we go back to the 80's 🤞🤞
Yus
No doubt!..80s the best of era music
I wish I could....
I wish, these times are horrible 😢😢
Movie was Great. Madonna singing song from MOVIE Perfection❤
80s could never been the 80s without Madonna. She was the 80s.
I agree 💯👍
Agree , But you can't leave out Michael Jackson.. he was the "80s. " On the male side
The 80's would have got along without her, she was just a blip on the 80's. 80's kids made the 80's.
I'm just playing with ya bc I totally agree but what about metallica?...not pop so.. different? That's cool. Anyway, I do recall that she held the crown, madonna...cyndi lauper, Deb gibson, others...didn't match up... Unless you want to go whitney about it.. that's where opinions kick in, haha.
Her impact and importance will be studied by future generations. The greatest artist of all time
