LOVE LIVES ON


I would agree that this song is SAD and deals with FORCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, but i would definitely disagree with the comment that it is HOPELESS.

This song deals with the narrator's response to the FUSION OF TWO HEARTS: Her response is to see this as a liberation. To surrender control is to fall free. Yes perhaps there is an analogy here to be drawn with death but it also could be about a union found, so long after a wilderness or dark solitude (thus the somber soundscape, perhaps an echo from a previous time)


i prefer to see 'falling free' as the powerful freedom to excel to our zenith when we have surrendered our hearts to love. The solemn ending for me is the realisation that live will end, but love never dies.

SADNESS in not synonymous with HOPELESSNESS (wonder what sheila thinks ?)

thank you madonna
