    24 years later, and SKY FITS HEAVEN is still my most favourite & treasured Madonna track out of her full discography. The most profound, deep, and meaningful song (in my opinion). The lyrics, the concept, and the audio execution work in such harmony. It's sheer GENIUS!

    Co-wrote with madonna in relationship with Patrick leanord. Almost all of the people she produced with has said that Madonna's ability to craft melodies is amazing. Certain co-writers and co-producers clearly have a great symmetry with madonna: patrick leanord, Stephen bray, William orbit, mirwais and shep pettibone. They produced incredible music together.

    There are quite a few interviews floating around in which Madonna's collaborators discuss how actively involved she is in the creation of her music. At least until fairly recently, she tended to handle the lyrics and the bulk of the melodies (Stuart Price in particular commented on her incredible ability to be able to create a melody on the spot to a backing track he'd created - imagine her listening to the backing track of "Sorry" and just creating the melody at the microphone!).
    Pat Leonard has also spoken extensively about their work together and how they were true creative collaborations (he mentions that if a melody was suggested in a backing track, Madonna would work with that and shape it to make it her own, varying it and adding to it to suit her lyrics - an example is "Live To Tell" - the melody for "I have a tale to tell" clearly features in the music, but then she changes it for "sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well" - that helps to demonstrate her role in the process). She seems to be able to get the best out of anyone she works with.

U think and I think that's a really good call out from til death do us part.. Like a signature.. Now whether it's deliberate or subconsciously woven in.. His musical dna if you like, like you said.. But sometimes like Bowies work I feel there might be cypher, keys, and hidden layers to some of madonnas work.. She is so underappreciated as a lyricist and her melodies are incredible sometimes.. And very largely her iwn

    I give credit to William orbit for this masterpiece cuz without him Madonna's music got crappy.. The only good album she did after Ray of light is confessions on a dance floor the last album I bought of hers.. After that and till today Madonna has been desperately looking for validation from other artists and doing so much collaborations with incompatible artists that made her lose touch with her old self.. (timbaland, Pharrell, diplo, some other rappers, maluma lol) all of them are trashy songs and albums.. Unfortunately Madonna is done
