Madonna Live To Tell (Instrumental Suite)

[@4BRicky]

Currently listening in bed at almost 3:00 a.m, feeling nostalgic even though this came out 12 years before I was born.

[@jkon1970]

1986. 16 yrs old. Saw this movie on HBO lying on my mom's couch at night time. Still one of my best movies ever. Own it on blu ray.

[@vaniljapulla]

Madonna + Patrick Leonard = perfection. Words fail me.

[@tremayne3]

+ DX7

[@gozzywozzy485]

yep, such a good collaboration. Oh Father was their masterpiece imo, but this track also very good

[@stevecamp06]

In my mind listening to this, it's 1986 again. One of the favorite years of my life. Beautiful.

[@0221serendipity]

Beautiful instrumental version. A classic.

[@chrisdalejr]

This version is my life

[@xanadukemet840]

this is so how I've always love to see Madonna, mature, sophisticated, growing, an nothing to prove, she doesn't need to hang with the young crowds ever, now why there are not many acoustic versions to her hits, got no idea, she's got plenty of em

[@walterortiz-nieves2480]

I concur although I feel this track was much better suited to have been included in the Like A Prayer album since it was just a mature heartfelt deep personal type of record in matching versus in being the in Pop album True Blue-And CHERISH should have been switched over as well. Just my thought point of view.

[@Juanee31]

This woman needs to start making this kind of music again..

[@moss8448]

it has a damn good feeling to it..this song does find myself at odd times having this sound echo in my head.

[@pericbowen4958]

For certain..a real masterpiece. 🌷🌹

[@nicksimon7364]

The music for this was Pat Leonard - she got his number...

[@fefemcgee3757]

i hate to say it but her voice diminishes most of the music. She had an amazing team writing songs for her and she mostly just played a character in the media.

[@MariahIsSkinnyFuckBlueLives]

@@fefemcgee3757 she's a talented songwriter and her vocals definitely improved in the 90s

[@jennifertaylor7688]

listen to this only with headphones or in your car alone!! and go to a place where nobody will bother you ...like the Delaware water gap? in winter where you bundle up and breathe in Crystal air and look up....up to the sky and smile ...or dance. spin around with a blanket over your shoulders...feel the music try not to fall

[@pearlalice94]

[@sashasiregar1238]

Why do people in the comment keep saying Madonna? This is made by Patrick Leonard, for the movie. The song "Live To Tell" was a collaboration between him AND Madonna.

[@jereykobalt8874]

Because Madonna made it famous. The songs are always pretty much known for who performed it. The credits often come in after the song is mainstream.

[@tickedoffnow]

God this is Beautiful

[@pablomonterorodriguez2410]

Sencillamente excepcional. Sin palabras para describir lo que se siente al escucharlo con los ojos cerrados. Madonna no es solo Madonna, es la musica que la acompaña.

[@jennifertaylor7688]

my favorite instrumental...just close your eyes put on your ear phones ..drown out the STATIC IN YOUR HEADS and light a candle in a dark room ..meditate on every note. like a Hawks wing stretching to turn to the left and then to the right. Just let go And LET GOD!

[@MrEXtraRaw]

@Blahbevava I had read somewhere that it was used because at the same time, one of the producers was doing some stuff for Michael Jackson's Bad album, which uses the D-50, but of course, released in 1987. I know there's a remix to this song, so maybe that's what they're talking about. Other than them getting their hands on an advanced D-50, judging by the release dates of the song, and the synth. I would have to also agree it's a DX7. But who knows.

[@JenniferTaylot1971]

Love

[@MrEXtraRaw]

@Blahbevava I had thought "Live To Tell" was made also with a Roland D 50 on the chords, while the bass was played on a Yamaha DX 7.

Minha tbm 😍 amor essa música e o filme tbm

[@wolverine7196]

Joek, Thanks for the reply. Without the music, you have nothing except the lyrics, i.e., no song. Any number of good female vocalists could have sang this song, it's like Don Felder of the Eagles who wrote the music for Hotel California, Henley/Frey came up with the lyrics and pretty much thought they owned the song till Felder took them to court after they fired him and he one his law suit. My point is this……without the music, the song doesn't exist so I'll always lean to a real musician…..I just picked up The River by Patrick Leonard, some great instrumentals, good music doesn't always require lyrics…. Let's just say we both enjoy the song…..

[@DanieleGittia]

me too

[@ElkundEklund]

AFAIK: 0:00-3:40 Main title from the Best of Hemdale compilation CD (1991). 3:40-5:45 Film excerpt with faint sfx extracted approx 45 minutes into movie. 5:45-7:30 Possibly another extract from movie. Also check out Patrick Leonard's excellent promo CD "Music for Moving Pictures". Although it only contains one more unreleased cue (Murder), this music is very much his style, prevalent on several tracks on this beyond-ultra-rare disc.

[@MrEXtraRaw]

As I told the poster 2mos ago, I read somewhere that a D-50 was involved but maybe it's on the remix I had heard of this song. But I do know a DX was involved. Yeah, I know analog synths were the norm' for the mid-80's. In particular, the Roland Juno which was usually used in conjunction with a DX until the D-50 became available for consumer purchase in '87. Is the pomo tape uploaded on here?

[@ElkundEklund]

I doubt the DX-7 had much to do with these score cues (as well as the D-50 which didn't even exist). I believe there are several instruments involved including a grand piano combined with analog synthesizers. Analog were the "conventional" synths at the time, especially for these kinds of sweeping sounds. Look up copies of KEYBOARD Magazine from the time - Patrick Leonard had a regular column where he explains his musical approach. BTW I have another short cue from a promo tape somewhere..
