Madonna Topp 50 #34

#34: "Easy Ride"
(2003, American Life, Madonna/Monte Pittman)

Sista spåret från American Life-albumet, den elektro-gitarriga balladen Easy Ride hittar ända upp till plats 34 på listan. Jag gillar stråkarna, den melodiösa refrängen och blandningen av electronica och gitarrpop. Synthslingan i slutet av låten ger mig rysningar.

I want the good life
But I don't want an easy ride
What I want is to work for it
Feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips
That's what I want for me

I want to know everything
Maybe someday I will
What I want is to find my place
Breathe the air and feel the sun on my children's face
That's what I want

I go round and round just like a circle
I can see a clearer picture
When I touch the ground I come full circle
To my place and I am home
I am home

I want to let go of all disappointment
That's waiting for me
What I want is to live forever
Not defined by time and space
It's a lonely place
That's what I want

I go round and round just like a circle
I can see a clearer picture
When I touch the ground I come full circle
To my place and I am home
I am home
