Future Lovers

Lyrics

I'm gonna tell you about love
Let's forget your life
Forget your problems
Administration, bills, and loans
Come with me

In the evidence of its brilliance
In the evidence of its brilliance
In the evidence of its brilliance
In the evidence of its brilliance

In the demonstration of this evidence
Some have called it religion
This is not a coincidence
Would you like to try?

Connect to the sky
Future lovers ride
Their ambitions high
Would you like to try?

Let me be your guide
Cut inside your pride
Future lovers hide
Love inside their eyes

In the evidence of its brilliance
In the evidence of its brilliance
In the evidence of its brilliance
In the evidence of its brilliance

Not controlled by time
Future lovers shine
For eternity
In a world that's free

Put away your past
Love will never last
If you're holding on
To a dream that's gone

I'm gonna tell you about love
Would you like to try?

In the evidence of its brilliance
In the evidence of its brilliance
In the evidence of its brilliance
In the evidence of its brilliance

There's no love like the future love

Come with me

Connect to the sky
Future lovers ride
Their ambitions high
Would you like to try?

Connect to the sky
Future lovers ride
(In the evidence of its brilliance,
in the evidence of its brilliance)
There ambitions high
Would you like to try?
(In the evidence of its brilliance,
in the evidence of its brilliance)

Connect to the sky
Future lovers ride
(In the evidence of its brilliance,
in the evidence of its brilliance)
Their ambitions high
Would you like to try?
(In the evidence of its brilliance,
in the evidence of its brilliance)

Album

Tour

Madonna always knows how to build up tension and anticipation as her show starts. The Confessions Tour started off with a haunting bassline. With an Equestrian theme for the first part of the show, the large screens show running horses (taken from the Steven Klein video) and the sound of the gallopping shakes the whole room. Madonna's face appears on the screens, quoting the intro of Future Lovers, while a giant disco ball is lowered from the ceiling. Before an amazed crowd, the ball opens and Madonna appears from inside. She's dressed in Gaultier riding gear, inspired by Romy Schneider's character in Ludwig, and has her dancers/horses gallopping beside her. She cracks her whip on them and even rides Jason, who prances up to the crowd. Madonna also pays tribute to Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love' (which conveniently shares the same bassline ;-) intertwining the verses seamlessly with those of Future Lovers.
