Not sure in this case, but for a nomination, the song HAS to be created exclusively for the movie. In this case, if it was created for Madonna´s album and at the same time they used the song in the movie, is automatically out of competition for the oscars.

Part of the genius of Madonna is that she trusts her instincts and doesn’t listen to people who would tell her, you can’t do that, it will ruin you. She knew herself and knew what was going to work and she stuck to her conviction. She hasn’t always been right, but 90% of the time she has been, and considering she often did the unexpected and the more risky choices, that’s pretty powerful

Patrick Leonard is so right about how risky it was BACK THEN for a succesful singer to take such a DRASTIC turn in music style. I remember listening to 'Live to Tell' for first time and thinking: "I can't believe this is Madonna...... Why is she doing this?" She had just had such MASSIVE SUCCESS with the Pop / Dance songs of her previous Album and people were still craving more of that and then BANG!!!! She completely changed her look, her style and her sound. Thanks to her in particular, the new generation of artists are naturally more experimental than old shcool artists, however none of them are as DARING and BOLD as MADONNA when it comes to embracing new genres of music. Even now in 2019 she is still the MOST GENRE FLUID arstist there is. Just listen to Madame X and you'll see.

This song. I'd never paid much attention to Madonna's version in the 80's, but in 2009 or so I stumbled onto a video of Patrick Leonard performing it on solo piano and I was absolutely floored. It was like something took took hold of my gut and wouldn't let go. I must have watched it 100 times over the course of a few days, and I still revisit it pretty frequently. It's eerie and melancholic and so emotionally charged that it often reduces me to tears if I'm in a low mood. It's basically perfect and makes me feel like I'll never write anything as good. It was really cool to hear him tell the back story today. Thanks for this.

"Live to Tell" allowed Madonna to show her more theatrical and dramatic side; she was mostly known for girlish and youthful up-tempo dance songs before that record. That's what helped catch so many ears, as it was something different for her. I saw the movie with Sean Penn, but I couldn't get into it, but then there was this majestic SONG that I fell in love with right away. It still sounds awesome. Next to "Vogue" I think it is just about her best single.

To be fair, Madonna grew into her voice: she started with that Minnie Mouse sound, but started to show vocal maturity by the late 80's. She reached a whole new level of singing when she was preparing to film "Evita", and that's because she was taking voice lessons. She owes a lot to her songwriters/producers in the 80's/90's, especially Patrick Leonard: his ballads and easy grooves are what gave her singing voice a backbone, an elegance beyond her age. His producing expertise is partially what saved her from being a mere flash in the pan.

She talks about Truth no one wants to hear about. Unless, its just some trashy slut from Michigan. But then cleans up with Live To Tell. Tells the pope to stop raping kids, With Papa Dont Preach.

I wish someone would release the complete score to the film. Best use of variations on a theme I've ever heard in 1 movie.

That's so cool how this song came about. Seems like this song was meant to happen in so many different ways

I've always wondered how this song came together for the film.... huge fan of At Close Range.. and how the music was used throughout as a score.. now it all makes sense.
