- Backdrop video created for Madonna's 2001 Drowned World Tour.
"Paradise (Not For Me)" originally appears on the 'Music' album.
2000 - Warner Bros. Records, Inc.
People will always focus on Bitch I'm Madonna. They will never know about this work of art. This is easily her second best non-single, along with Skin from ROL. So underrated, and so sad that it was forgotten. This is our little secret now.
We should share to those who want to listen.
Tbf that's all on Madonna, how can she backtrack artistically this much with that subpar track? Ray of Light and Confessions are her highest artistic achievements.
Not everything can be released. Stop abusing the term under rates. This was on a World Tour! This was given Life! I Produced an MA thesis on the Drowned Tour and this was the item on my 1st Chapter, her Scholarly Representation of the Geisha in Paradise Not For Me.... this was very Crucial! I had to defend my paper with chapter 1. I showed the video to my professors and they were shock... They all said Where is Madonna on that video?
Agree
@@eduardochavacano underrated is not a negative word it just means something that is great that doesn't have much recognition
I love how even Madonna's backdrops have more substance, style, cinematography, message and artistic quality than majority of the general music videos! She is truly the champion of visual formats.
yes, along with Gaga.♡
@@g2991_ Gaga?! ROTFL
@@g2991_ Gaga? but have you seen her ultra cheap "Stupid love" video? It hurts just seeing it. And hey, I love Gaga. But I won´t admit ridiculous comparisons. There´s not other Madonna. Period.

I love how even Madonna's backdrops HAD more substance, style, cinematography, message and artistic quality than majority of the general music videos of the time! She WAS truly the champion of visual formats... Sadly for her she has now been relegated to a sad nostalgia act... with new desperate attempts at remaining relevant that are just cringe worthy.
Today I was reading about people’s opinion about Madonna’s career in comparison to other singers like Gaga, Mariah etc ... none of these singers( they may be better vocalists) but the vision, the artistry , the music , the depth of the songs you can’t compare ... Madonna is really ahead of her time and her work is timeless ...
They aren't better singers. Period
The way I see it: Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga... They all have better voices and vocals than Madonna because they are "true singers" but Madonna... She somehow is remarkable because she's an ARTIST and will be unforgettable!
She was ahead of her time. Today she limits herself to doing what others already do. From "Rebel Heart". she musically she is dead!
All same .... /👁\ ....
Mariah WAS a more accomplished singer but Madonna IS a far more talented dancer, writer, performer & musician. Gaga has never been a better singer and she is a FAR less accomplished dancer, writer, performer and entertainer. If she was all those things better than Madonna she would have more hits, more sales, more world records, concert ticket revenue and overall credibility. And she hasnt. 10 years in and Gaga has already peaked. Madonna covered her career with just one album
I think this song is about dying. Getting old and dying. In the lyrics she tries to remember when she was young but she can’t. But she knows that after she’s gone her face will remain in people’s eyes. They will remember who she was. And the whole video is a death ceremony. She’s getting dressed with her best kimono and helped by her assistants, while two warriors represent the fight between life and death. And then she performs her last dance and after that she has her “death walk” while two assistants walk behind her accompanying her in her walk to the Light. But when she walks into the light the assistants remain on the other side of the door and the doors closes behind her. She’s on her own now. Because we all die alone. And the light comes down on her and takes her away. But when she dies a red light comes out of her mouth, her “life breathe” escapes her body. And at the very end we see a dead tree. It’s a cherry tree, which is the symbol of the “tree of life” in Japanese culture. When she performed this song live at the Confessions Tour there was a screen behind her showing a cherry tree losing all it’s flowers, representing the passing of the seasons of life. And at the end of the performance when the tree has lost all the flowers and the “winter of life” arrives, a light descents over Madonna while she sings “there is a light above my head, into your eyes my face remains”, and the light takes her away, up to the sky, returning her to the source of life. Now, in the Drowned World tour this video was shown as a backdrop video while on stage there were dancers coming out of cocoons, representing death as a form of birth.
Wow, what an imaginary?!
make videos not comments
@@Noververify I want to! But I don't know how to make reaction videos. I've been reading tutorials but I don't understand how to film what happens in the screen at the same time.
Loved your theory!
I love your theory, and it's very likely that is exactly what she was after with this backdrop.
This woman is a true artist.
This song proves that Madonna is one of the greatest artists this word has ever seen! Excellent song & video clip!
Ant22-25 Alman And one of the most versatile
Most prolific!
I love it!

The best, the saddest and the most emotional ballad about leaving...
honestly it is vague enough that someone can read this about leaving behind traumatic episode of their life and having their whole world shattered and starting a new
Creativity, artistry!!! The timeless visionary woman Madonna is and has been all this 4 decades is something irreplaceable! Is sad people forget who this woman is sometimes, what she represents and what she has done!
Proud to live in the same era than Madonna!
the confessions tour version makes me cry
Fernando Teixeira amo
Me too!!!! Deep, meaningful song.
This is from the drowned world tour
agree
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. The lyrics, the sound, the music, the video.... everything is such a perfection. ❤️
Avi Miranda You are so right. Just brilliant! ♡
Everytime Madonna uses Japanese culture as a theme in her videos, they always become hits. I guess the creative talent of Madonna the Queen herself and the mystique of Japanese culture make a wonderful and successful combination. 😉
Ive been so high , Ive been so down
up to the skies down to the ground! I love that metaphor
very talented ... perhaps one of greatest artist
THE GREATEST ARTIST IN LIFE HISTORY!

Masterpiece! The sound that Mirwais and Madonna made on both Music and American Life was way ahead of its time.
Da. Potpuno si u pravu 👍🏾
Vjeko Pavlečić right!!
Right you are. Still my fav albums
Ты прав. Самые гениальные электронные пластинки с примесью гитарных аккордов.
AGREED!
I wish this had been on American life instead.
It feels totally out of place on the Music Album.
This is such a sophisticated production with expansive depth. Pure art. I know not all fans enjoyed it in a concert environment, especially after an 8-year tour absence, but I absolutely loved seeing it live! Bravo!!
I can't get enough of this gem! Nobody can do it like Madonna!!!!!
A true masterpiece! Please release all other backdrop videos from Madonna’s wondrous tours.
yes! bedtime story from re-invention is one my favorites
YEAH!!!

Paradise (Not For Me)
I can't remember
When I was young
I can't explain
If it was wrong
My life goes on
But not the same
Into your eyes
My face remains
(I've been so high)
I've been so down
(Up to the skies)
Down to the ground
I was so blind
I could not see
Your paradise
Is not for me
Autour de moi
Je ne vois pas
Qui sont des anges
Sûrement pas moi
Encore une fois
Je suis cassée
Encore une fois
Je ne crois pas
I've been so high
I've been so down
Up to the skies
Down to the ground
There is a light above my head
Into your eyes my face remains.
so poetic! I love it!
Even her background videos are better than most 'pop' videos today! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN 👑👑👑
Madonna deserves all the praise . She should be celebrated and given a throne to sit on. A true artist and Queen of her craft. No one comes close. Even now!!! They're all wannabes.
The most romantic and elegant artist of all time
I love how Ray Of Light ERA and Music ERA were so connected... Kimonos, Introspective Lyrics, Orbit and Mirwais, Beautiful Stranger and American Pie as bridge of both, Drown World Tour. My favorite years of Madonna.
This album is a pure masterpiece.
Exactly👍
Yeeeesssss
This is for music. no?
@@cami111 Yes :)
@@duckyduke954 thank u 😌
guys... this is a masterpiece
The Drowned World Tour was the first time I ever saw Madonna live and my absolute favorite tour of hers! It was a religious experience!
This is an audiovisual perfection for me.
This blow my mind. This song puts Madonna in heaven!! This song never gets old!
a masterpiece, both video and song, should have been a single, the best song from the Music album IMO
This is a masterpiece 🌟
Madonna has always been right on the money with her musical creations, and this closing ballad from MUSIC is no exception. I am one of the many fans who have been there since day one with Burning Up on MTV and Everybody and Holiday on the radio. Madonna has always brought us these wonderfully complete stories with each album delivered. The only way to experience the true masterpieces that they are is to listen to them in their entirety. They take us on a journey and give us a glimpse into Madonna and her life at the time. For me, they have been and continue to be the soundtrack of my life. No other artist has ever impacted me so deeply, affected my sentiments so continually and never has Madonna failed to put her finger right on the pulse of the key to her original success by bringing us fun and frisky music with a great message. Yes, life may suck sometimes, but so do blow jobs! So make the choice to smile and get up and dance. Do what Her Magesty prescribes and it will give you the most important of all messages or medications: hope.
Long Live the Queen!

This song is so beautiful and it portrays the way I feel at times Madonna has a song for every emotion of mine.
This is the most beautiful Electronica song i have ever heard.
Yeeeeees
Conocí ésta canción en noviembre del año 2000. Desde ahí ya sabía que Madonna estaba a otro nivel muy superior a cualquier cantante/artista! Saludos desde Guadalajara 🇲🇽❤️
720!!! Finally good quality! For 17 years I've been waiting for this video to be officially released. And it's out! Hallelujah!
This interlude is a masterpiece!
Underrated gem... still great in 2021.
This song brought me to my knees in the darkest and saddest moments of my young life, but it also helped me pull through and never give up. Gracias, Madonna!
One of my favorite videos of all time. It is so chilling to listen to. ❤ I hope she performs this song once again.
FINALLY! MY FAVORITE MADONNA SONG EVER
You can't be serious when you finally say she made good song.....lol shiiiit all of the other good songs sound way better than this
A masterpiece musically, lyrically and visually too.
should have been a single - so much better than Don't Tell Me
I love this. I tho' this was recent. Omg.
The word is "timeless" =P
Andy Zaturno A timeless classic
@@swankhood exactly
Yes is recent.....I mean she's borned in 56 eheheheh is just for ever.
This is not a madonna production
Man I can't tell you how much I love this song....this should have been on a video collection. 🙏
Only Madonna can create such a masterpiece. No other female singer can or could come close to this.
Everything changes, but Madonna is always good

Unbelievable that Madonna uploaded these videos, your fans want more backdrops and the missing videos: Miles Away, Music Montage version, American Life uncensored, remix videos and backdrops PLEASE !!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!
And now Frozen from MadameX
Beautifully made video. Madonna is queen of video, song, art.. She's always impressed with her music. Madonna is one and only.
This is the video and song that solidified my love for Madonna
I will never ever forget seeing this video playing during the Drowned World Tour in Boston in 2001. This will forever be my favorite concert ever.
Years go by, and it is still a masterpiece, a very deep song, one of the best!
For me, Ray of Light is her best production ever, Drowned World tour is her best concert on its concept, and THIS song and visuals, and Mer Girl/Sky Fits Heaven are the best of the best things I've seen from Madonna.
David Lopez Serret I like Sky Meets Heaven and Nothing Really Matters Swim and Skin
I saw her on the Drowned World tour. It was a dream come true for me. Being a lifelong fan and always will be.

So am I!!! I am 19 and since last year I really love and enjoy Madonna
Beautiful music video. What a passion and creativity. I miss the time Madonna used to be more in the music scene .
I have to say as a fan of Madonna since 1983, that her music videos over the years have shown how much of an actress of ability Madonna truly is, as in her music videos Madonna's character actress persona comes out and illuminates the Video Screen with Women of Many Kind, Images, as I call them. As a young Madonna, she was very emotive and loud, yet silky and smooth at the same time, while as the more mature Madonna she has become unpredictable as to how she might dress or, at times as we all can, try to act as if much younger in years.
I would say she was pretty much unpredictable in 80's also. from Like A Virgin to Papa Don't Preach and then BOOM burning crosses and Black Jesus in Like A Prayer. This is definetely wasn't something Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston dare to do. This isn't pop, this is punk. I bet nobody could predict this after that Pepsi commercial. And now people gone mad because of Lil Nas X Jesus. They should make a collab. About Black Jesus and people who piss out of it. Somehow Madonna is always changed and never changed, like she is the one. Like change is what she is. But still being romantic and full of love. A perfect combination.
Yayyyy!!!
They're finally uploading many Madge's music videos in good quality
Greetings from El Salvador, I love u Madonna ♥♥♥
My god.. I love her abstract stuff!
Conocía la canción pero nunca había visto el clip. Impecable hasta el último detalle La canción es magnífica.
Oh Madonna...always relevant, always fresh, forever curious and youthful in outlook and vision. Thank you for continuing to share your art with us. Your children are so lucky to have such a kickass mom.
Grandiosa!
Gracias for all these years of grandious wisdom and incomparable songs. You're not human...you can't be! So much poetry and wisdom in your music.
This is fantastic! I never thought this would be released! 😩😍.
Masterpiece. One of the finest tracks on 'Music'.
a real f****ing masterpiece, this song is amazing, and the video interlude its a very powerfull piece
i love this song, 7years now.
This is EVERYTHING!
One of my top 5 Madonna songs of all time
I cant belive it. It,s been 20 years
I've been so high, I've been so down
Up to the skies, down to the ground
2023, April.. reminiscing about current tragedy.. this song brought me back to a time when life presented less struggles...
I can't remember when I was young
I can't explain if it was wrong
My life goes on, but not the same
Into your eyes my face remains
I've been so high, I've been so down
Up to the skies, down to the ground
I was so blind, I could not see
Your paradise is not for me
Autour de moi, je ne vois pas
Qui sont les anges? Sûrement pas moi
Encore une fois, je suis cassée
Encore une fois, je ne crois pas
I've been so high, I've been so down
Up to the skies, down to the ground
There is a light above my head
Into your eyes, my face remains
I've been so high, I've been so down
Up to the skies, down to the ground
I can't remember when I was young
Into your eyes, my face remains
Into your eyes, my face remains
I've been so high, I've been so down
Up to the skies, down to the ground
I've been so high, I've been so down
Up to the skies, down to the ground.
Madonna looks badass on kimono very magical vibes love it & mysterious I love these performances by her so beautiful
And this was just a costume change video on the Drowned World tour…
This video and madonna's artistic expression is quite amazing, really. No words to describe.
Fascinating... One of my favorite Madonna' s song ❤
I'm in tears, what a masterpiece, I was 5 years old when I first saw this
ΥΕS MADONNA IS AMAZING
If you came here for britney you should watch paradise not for me ( confessions tour live) versión
Wish it was released as single!!! a masterpiece
This is so magnetizing and chill, and I love it so much
Masterpiece. It should have been a single.
MADONNA THE QUEEN OF THE QUEENS
I'll never get over this. This reminds me that music can be much more than music. It can be Art.
Deep. Seeing the 'good' and the bad. None of us can claim we are good. Who are we comparing ourselves to.
when the orchestra gets louder it gives me chills. such a big mellow song!
This my favorite track on the album . I still remember my 14 year old self listening this song for the first time . Time flies ...
YAS! Finally in HQ! We need more videos like this!
she was a personificaton of pop music. but this album or rather this song took a whole new turn. great to see her showing a new 'ray of light' when it comes to getting away from the usual pop music. I really enjoyed this tune.
The whole of Madonna's Music album (2000) is definitely not the typical pop music of its time and even now.
PLEASE CREATE AN INSANE ELECTRO SPECTACALE TOUR LIKE THIS..... THIS ERA WAS GOLDEN AND TOUR WAS VERY SCARY! LOVED IT!!!!!!!!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This song makes me free! ♥️🌷
Não Me InRiter - Marcos Riter It makes you free
What a masterpiece! I’ll never stop loving it! She’s a genius! ❤️
This is art. Her whole team work together, brainstorm, and kill it EVERY TIME! SHE'S MADONNA.
Good quality, Excellent art, Fabulous Madonna!
Great song. All Madonna songs are unique and real. Madonna you are beautiful your fans love U. I have been listening to Madonna since I was Seven years old. She is my favorite artist I just love her style and take on this Universe of ours.
Que viva la Reina del Pop y su homenaje a la cultura japonesa. 🇯🇵
When I am really sad and really down I listen to this song to know what about life is: up to the skies, down to the ground.
This tour was incredible. I remember it like it was yesterday! My first time ever seeing her live! I've gone to every tour since, but this is still my favorite.
My life goes on, but not the same...✨🌍💚💫
into your eyes my face remains.
Gorgeous!!!! ❤️ I love you Madonna!
SIN TEMOR A EQUIVOCARME, ESTE TEMA ES UNA DE LAS PIEZAS MUSICALES MAS EXQUIZITAS Y MEJOR LOGRADAS DE LA REYNA INDISCUTIBLE DEL POP, CON UNA TEMATICA MUY DIFERENTE A OTRAS EXITOSAS PRODUCCIONES, POR NO DECIR UNA DE LAS MAS PERFECTAS, GRACIAS POR OFRECERNOS TAN BELLAS E IMBORRABLES MELODIAS!...

@@danilofigueroa7157 , disculpa pero nunca entro en detalles sobre la vida privada de la gente, cada uno con su rollo, no crees...😎
Tal cual, una de sus mejores canciones en toda su carrera.
Algo que la caracteriza es que supera sus albunes uno tras otro, despues de "Ray of light" de 1998, "Music" del año 2000 tenía un sonido un poco mas ácido y futurista mas ligero que el antecesor...
Madonna has the most number 1 hits of all time 22 👏👏👏👏
Amazing ... contemporary art ... timeless MADONNA ... and Lyrics are a poem
