Madonna Topp 50 #45
(I'm Breathless, 1990, Madonna/Patrick Leonard)
Från den ganska sugiga filmen Dick Tracy kom åtminstone en hel massa bra musik. Den underbara balladen Something To Remember fick fem år senare ge namn åt Madonnas suveräna balladsamling. Det jag bäst gillar i låten är utöver texten den dova melodin och de höga tonerna som Madonna verkligen vill men inte riktigt kan ta. Jag är en sucker för ballader om brustna hjärtan. Jag är kungen av brustna hjärtan. Hade produktionen inte varit så "jazzig" hade denna låt hamnat betydligt högre upp på listan.
Seems I've played the game for
much too long I let people buy my love and I
Never got to sing my songs for you
I had all my bets laid all on you
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose
In the game of love you pay your dues
Say that happiness cannot be measured,
And a little pain can bring you all life's little pleasures
What a joke
I was not your woman,
I was not your friend,
But you gave me something to remember
No other man said "love yourself"
Nobody else can
We weren't meant to be,
At least not in this lifetime,
But you gave me something to remember
I hear you still say; "love yourself"
I had all my bets laid all on you
Set your stakes too high,
you're bound to lose
In the game of love I've paid my dues
Guess I'm waiting for my place in your sun,
Wish I had the chance to know you and it wasn't stormy weather
What a shame, who's to blame?
