You Must Love Me - Mad-Eyes - Madonna single lyrics, Oscar, Golden Globe, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice

YOU MUST LOVE ME

Lyrics

Where do we go from here?
This isn't where we intended to be
We had it all, you believed in me
I believed in you

Certainties disappear
What do we do for our dream to survive?
How do we keep all our passions alive
As we used to do?

Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away

You must love me
You must love me

Why are you at my side?
How can I be any use to you now?
Give me a chance and I'll let you see how
Nothing has changed

Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away

You must love me
You must love me

You must love me

Evita

Single

To promote the Evita soundtrack, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice got back together to write a song especially for Madonna. The result was this vulnerable ballad in which Eva Peron urges to be loved. This first Evita single, released in the fall of 1996, only reached #18 in the US but still got a Gold certification. It got to #10 in the UK, #2 in Canada and #11 in Australia. The song won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for 'Best Song'.

Video

In between the recordings of the movie, Evita producer Alan Parker shot the video, which shows a very serene Madonna standing in a room with a pianist and a cellist. Notice that Madonna's shown either in close-up either behind the piano, to hide her pregnancy with Lola. The video also uses images of the movie.
