How accurate am I? Are all of those songs in the top 5?
#23 - LIVE TO TELL Average: 8.5694 - Highest: 10 (x12), Lowest: 5 (x2)
Writers: Madonna, Patrick Leonard Producers: Madonna, Patrick Leonard
During the recording of True Blue, Patrick Leonard was writing a theme for some random Paramount film, but ultimately they ended up rejecting it. Then he showed it to Madonna - she decided to use it for Sean's film At Close Range, and wrote the lyrics for it.
It was released as the lead single off True Blue, and it was a success - it was her third US #1, and it peaked at #2 in the UK. It also reached the top 10s of many countries.
She performed it live at The Who's That Girl Tour, The Blond Ambition Tour and The Confessions Tour - in the latter, she performed it hanging on a cross, which caused some controversy over the show.
Its video shows Madonna wearing a more mature look and singing "Live to Tell" in a dark room, while some scenes from At Close Range are shown.
For me, this is Madonna's best ballad. 10.
I feel outraged, this should have been #1 or #2, nothing less.
The eternal duopoly of ethereal masterpieces.
