| TRUE BLUE Standout tracks - Papa Don't Preach, Open Your Heart, Live To Tell, True Blue, and La Isla Bonita. (In my opinion the album's best songs) 1. Papa Don't Preach - This is one of Madonna's greatest tracks of all time. It proves she can sing songs that make sense with a strong message. The song has anti-abortion lyrics and is accompanied with a video where she plays a pregnant sixteen year old. I think this song was probably about Madonna's father disapproving of her marrying Sean Favourite line: "But I've made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby." **PAPA DON'T PREACH MIDI FILE IS AVAILABLE BY CLICKING HERE** 2. Open Your Heart - This is also a fantastic song! Great to sing along to and dressing up as Madonna (when she was on the Blonde Ambition tour with the pointy bra), of course this applies to the girls. This song was a grower for me, I liked it first, but now I love it! Favourite line: "I think that you're afraid to look in my eyes." 3. White Heat - A good introduction and great lyrics. I loved the performance on Who's That Girl? tour, that was class! Favourite line: "I don't want to live out your fantasy, love's not that easy. This time you're gonna have to play my way, come on make my day." 4. Live To Tell - Written by Madonna, this track proves she can write a song that makes sense and that she has got something to say. The beat in it is quite powerful with Madonna's vocals. The video suited the song very well. Favourite line: "The light that you could never see, it shines inside you can't take that from me." 5. Where's The Party? - The party is on this track! Good to dance to and Madonna sounds fantastic. Favourite line: "Couldn't wait to get older, thought I'd have so much fun." 6. True Blue - The very cute title track with a fifties-style twist. This song sounds like she is singing about Sean, which I am quite sure of. Very catchy, good to sing along with, if you are very much in love. Great video, as well. Favourite line: "No more sadness, I kiss it goodbye, the sun is bursting right out of the sky, I searched the whole world for someone like you." 7. La Isla Bonita - The Beautiful Island. A fantastic track, where loads of people get their inspiration from. Examples include Geri Halliwell on Mi Chico Latino, Tina Arena on Sorrento Moon (I Remember), Deetah on Paradiso Rico, and so on. Madonna looked great in the video with her red dress. Favourite line: "Where a girl loves a boy and a boy loves a girl." **LA ISLA BONITA IS AVAILABLE IN MIDI FORMAT BY CLICKING HERE** 8. Jimmy Jimmy - Is this song about Sean? Nice and neat. Favourite line: "Why oh why, do fools fall in love with a fool like you?" 9. Love Makes The World Go Round - Great song with great lyrics. A good ending to this brilliant album. Favourite line: "Make love not war we say." Overall - An excellent album recorded in Madonna's blonde bombshell period. Any Madonna fan will love this album. Go and buy it! |
