Open Your Heart (Madonna song)
" Open Your Heart" is a song by American singer Madonna from her third studio album" True Blue"( 1986).
It was released as the album's fourth single on November 19, 1986 by Sire Records.
It has since appeared remixed on the compilation albums" The Immaculate Collection"( 1990) and" Celebration"( 2009).
Originally a rock and roll song titled" Follow Your Heart", it was written for singer Cyndi Lauper by songwriters Gardner Cole and Peter Rafelson.
Looking for new songs for" True Blue", Madonna accepted it.
She and Patrick Leonard transformed it into a dance- pop song.
" Open Your Heart" is an innuendo- laden love song where Madonna expresses her sexual desire.
The song was well received by critics, who commended its simplicity.
It was also successful commercially, reaching the top- ten of the charts in Belgium, Canada, Ireland, Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, and the top of the" Billboard" Hot 100 in the United States, thus making it Madonna's fifth number- one single in the US.
The music video for" Open Your Heart" features a story line completely different from that of the song.
In it, Madonna plays an exotic dancer in a peep- show club who befriends a little boy and subsequently escapes.
It was critically acclaimed for subverting the male gaze, but the plot point of a child entering a strip club was criticized.
The video is an homage to actresses Liza Minnelli and Marlene Dietrich.
" Open Your Heart" has been performed by Madonna in three of her world tours –
Who's That Girl World Tour( 1987), Blond Ambition World Tour( 1990), where Madonna wore her infamous conical bra during the song, and The MDNA Tour( 2012).
The performances were included in the respective video release of the tours.
" Open Your Heart" has been covered a number of times by different artists, and appeared in the Britney Spears film," Crossroads"( 2002).
Noel Gallagher
Noel Thomas David Gallagher (born 29 May 1967) is an English singer, songwriter and guitarist.
He served as the lead guitarist, co-lead vocalist and primary lyricist of the rock band Oasis.
After Oasis split in 2009, he became lead vocalist and lyricist for his own band, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
Born in Longsight and raised in Burnage, Manchester, Gallagher began learning guitar at the age of thirteen.
After a series of odd jobs in construction, he worked for local Manchester band Inspiral Carpets as a roadie and technician in 1988.
Whilst touring with them, he learned that his younger brother Liam Gallagher had formed a band of his own, known as the Rain, which eventually took on the name Oasis.
After Gallagher returned to England, he was invited by his brother to join Oasis as the lead guitarist.
Noel agreed, but only under the condition that he would be responsible for the writing of the entirety of the band's material afterwards.
Oasis' debut album, "Definitely Maybe" (1994), marked the beginning of the band's rise to fame as part of the Britpop movement.
Oasis' second album, "(What's the Story)
Morning Glory?"
(1995), reached the top of the album charts in many countries and their third studio album, "Be Here Now" (1997), became the fastest-selling album in UK chart history.
Britpop eventually declined in popularity and Oasis' next two albums failed to revive it.
However, the band's final two albums, "Don't Believe the Truth" (2005) and "Dig Out Your Soul" (2008), were hailed as its best efforts in over a decade and found renewed success.
In late August 2009, following an altercation with Liam, Noel Gallagher announced his departure from Oasis and confirmed he would embark on a solo career.
Gallagher would go on to form Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, with whom he has released three studio albums.
Gallagher's run with Oasis was marked by turbulence, especially during the peak of Britpop, during which he was involved in several disputes with Liam, and the brothers' fights and wild lifestyles regularly made headlines in British tabloid newspapers.
Gallagher (along with Oasis) also shared a personal rivalry with fellow Britpop band Blur.
However, he was often regarded as the spearhead of the Britpop movement, and at one point of time, "NME" termed a number of Britpop bands (including Kula Shaker, Ocean Colour Scene and Cast) as "Noelrock", citing Gallagher's influence on their success.
Many have praised Gallagher's songwriting, with George Martin claiming him to be 'the finest songwriter of his generation'.
Conversely, Gallagher was voted the most overrated guitarist of the last millennium in a 1999 poll of fellow players, and the ninth-most overrated ever in a 2002 listener survey – he cited the former as the award he most enjoyed receiving.
