Madonna - Live To Tell [Confessions Tour DVD]

This gorgeous masterpiece was performed 16 years later on the Confessions Tour as it's Madonna's most confessional song. First we hear tales of 3 dancers about how they survived tough times and how they ended up dancing professionally. Then, with some organ music, the most talked about moment of the show arrives: a mirrored cross emerges from beneath with Madonna hung up on it. She's wearing a red blouse and velvet pants with a crown of thorns on her head. The whole audience is amazed by that iconic image while she starts her sorrow rendition of the ballad. After the second chorus, the counter above her stops at 12 million (number of children in Africa who die of aids in a year), she climbs off the cross and sings the inspiring bridge as a beautiful acapella. She then takes off her crown of thorns and as the screens behind her show explosions, she lies down on stage as if she's dying, mirroring the fate of those who raise their voices but never get understood. It truly is one of the best performances of her entire career.

Life’s most important decision. The Bible is Gods way of communicating to us. The Bible says ..”These things I have written to you that you believe in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life.” - John 5:13 How can you know that you will be in heaven when you die ? 1. Admit that your a lost sinner For all have sinned and come short to the glory of God. - Roman’s 3:23 2. Realize the punishment for remaining a lost sinner is eternity in hell For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Roman’s 6:23 3. Believe Gods payment for your sin was Christ’s death on the cross But God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us - Roman’s 5:8 4. Realize that accepting Jesus as your Savior is the only way to a home in Heaven. Jesus saith unto him. I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me. -John 14:6 5. If you believe all the four previous four statements, you can have everlasting life in Heaven with Jesus by doing the following. That is thou shalt confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God raised Him from the dead, thou shall be saved - Roman’s 10:9 For whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved -Roman’s 10:13 God did not send His Son to condemn the world but to save it through Him - John 3:17 Say this prayer and believe in His blood 🩸 “Jesus I believe you are the Son of God, I believe You died to give me life. Forgive me for my sins and be Lord of my life . I will follow You. Amen Have faith in the blood sacrifice of Jesus .

@@dylanreyes7823 They do it for the shock value (and a very tame one, by the way). Madonna's performance has a deeper meaning and is shedding light on a very important issue. That's the difference between giving a lapdance to "the devil" or dancing with a nun's outfit to this.

[@PLATOON72]

Mark Pettigrew this means you don't understand so much about music STYLE. the music style of this version is pure progressive. Compare it to Marillion "She Chameleon", album Fugazi.

[@markpettigrew3482]

***** For five years, I worked at one of the largest record stores in the Boston area as a merchandise transfer clerk serving three branch stores. To do my job properly, I had to know about all music styles---although it's true that Marillion was not one of the groups with which I spent much time. In the Record Department, they held a contest to see which employees could accurately guess the names of the most Grammy Award winners. I came in second --- since my knowledge was more diverse than the knowledge of people who only cared about one style of music. Madonna is, and always has been, a Marilyn Monroe wannabe (in terms of her physical appearance), and a pop musician, in terms of her musical style. Nothing can change my mind about that one.

[@markpettigrew3482]

***** Actually, now that I'm re-listening to the first track, I can see where you get the prog rock idea. She still sounds like a pop music singer for the vast majority of the song, but there is a VERY BRIEF synthesizer introduction, which is repeated in the bridge. To me, that isn't enough to qualify the song as prog rock --- but to each his own.

This has to be truly one of the holiest moments in music for me and not because of the obvious reasons but because, it truly resonated with such humanity and warmth and courage it exuded. It inspires me to live my truth more.

[@junosynth]

Holy? This is blasphemy.

[@mustafadnr8639]

yaaaaaas me too

[@thestumpavarieteeshow]

Would you still love her and she dressed up as the Muhammed and used imagery from the Koran lol? I sincerely doubt it, Just so we are clear, this is her BEST rendition of this song., do i like how she did it, not really, but im open to interuptation. Many can never say the same.

[@winston1319]

Religion is not only a book...Religion is what you do everyday in your life...and be respectful for everyone.Religion is peace and love worldwide whatever our religion is.However mixing religion and politic is the real problem..Or here a pure artistic image made by Madonna and nothing shocking on it...Sorry for my bad english.Friendly.

[@luigiferretti9874]

confession tour is probably the best ever show she did: the dance, coreography, music, singing, acting, visual effects, messages . everything was just so right and perfect! i love madonna!

[@villanella]

this tour is a brilliant masterpiece. the remixes, the whole concept and the song choices - this is how a concert should look, sound and feel like.

An amazing performance. She is highlighting a crisis and asking people to help each other. I think Jesus would agree to this.

[@Yousmellsexy21]

Thank you for understanding it and not judging like most ignorant ppl

[@robynsegg]

You're welcome. Like Madonna, I was raised Roman Catholic and was educated in the Catholic School System. Most would not understand this and see this as Madonna mocking Our Lord. But I see it as walking in another person's shoes and trying to understand how the live... And even die.

[@jamesparker1063]

Wow...only another Roman Catholic could watch another Roman Catholic (Madonna), blaspheming Jesus, and give your approval....no doubt you, like your idol here, like the crucifix because it has a "naked man" on it...

[@diannahimi7822]

Excluding the brilliant performance and art, I'm stunned how great she looked on this tour. No doubt one of her best tours and overall Confessions album era.

[@CallmeXtina80]

in life, we've all got our own cross and our crown of thorns, but when we realize that so many children don't have parents nor schooling nor a future because they were born ill, we should all step down from our crosses, take down our crowns of thorns and prostrate to thank for what we have.

[@WakeandSlay]

JESUS said to "take up your cross and follow him"???

[@WakeandSlay]

and Godly sorrow leadeth unto repentance, not remorse or false humiliation or "being sorry" like Judas, it's a revelation of HIS love for us, JESUS never said to step down from our crosses, we should LIVE THERE at his feet, praying to him where he is at right now in heaven asking for HIS HOLY SPIRIT to possess us with all HIS POWER AND AUTHORITY!! seated in rest, SHALOM

[@CallmeXtina80]

I'm actually agnostic, I wasn't talking about Jesus. The cross was just a metaphor

[@angelmatematico45]

Just like that. ...Thats the way it should be understood! Well said.

Olha.... Eu nunca fui totalmente chegada a Madonna não.... Mas de uns tempos, tipo uns 4 anos pra cá, aprendi a admira-la! Então atualmente acho ela Tooop .... Que voz heim?!?!?!?!?

Sempre foi top, talento inegalavel! Aposto que começou a ouvir as músicas antigas também. Tomara que sim! Fica com Deus!

[@lucaslopespadilha]

Madonna sempre estudou lírico, apesar de não exercer na sua raiz, mas é perceptível nos seus fraseados das músicas dos anos 80 e 90, principalmente! Em alguns making offs, já mostraram algumas cenas dela fazendo vocalizes de bel canto.

[@cleitonsilva480]

@@josianemorais7829 Não é desrespeito porque não existe deboche nenhum na performance, além disso, a crucificação era uma execução comum na antiguidade, não foi uma exclusividade na execução de Jesus. E se representar uma crucificação for pecado, a própria que igreja possui estátuas, desenhos, vitrais e até peças de teatro representando a crucificação está cometendo pecado.

[@fansgalorellc621]

Such a sad, yet an absolute amazing performance. That organ and her voice made it just so beautiful.

Soy católico y está canción me acerca más a Dios. "El amor debe reinar en nuestros corazones"

[@kd-b7340]

Wow. Powerful. This really took me by surprise. Very artistic, beautifully sung, sensitively handled, and it made me wonder at a Church that would rather complain about this than focus on helping the 20 million orphans, many whom are doomed to die unwanted in childhood. Many artists hang on a cross when portraying Jesus in a film, so what is the difference with this? This was to me the kind of thing that being a follower of Jesus should actually produce and invoke: conscientiousness, generosity of spirit for the less fortunate, actual love of your fellow human beings, and compassionate action. Well done Madonna, well done.
