    The beach scene is an homage to a Joan Crawford movie from the 1940’s “Humoresque “ Joan’s character drowns herself because of a failed love affair. Thankfully stronger Madonna just washes away the bad vibes with the help of the sea. The ocean theme is carried throughout: her pearl jewelry, the recurring wave effect, the blue tint, even the light on the beach. Her stunning makeup by Kevin Aucoin. Her emotional vocals on point. Awesome reaction 👏👏

    This is actually a part of a trilogy. Frozen-the power of goodbye and to have and not to hold. On frozen she's struggling trying to make the relationship survives, but she realizes his heart is frozen. Then on TPOGB she finally takes the decision and in the end on To have and not to hold she analyzes how they were on that relationship and why it was so difficult to end it up

    Her makeup in this video is by Kevyn Aucoin. Aucoin, who died in 2002, was the preferred makeup artist of many celebrities and top models in the 90's, including Whitney Houston, Cher, Cindy Crawford, Liza Minnelli, Courtney Love, Tina Turner, Janet Jackson, and Naomi Campbell. He authored several industry-defining books with makeup techniques including facial contouring, which was relatively unknown in popular culture at the time, but pioneered and used in drag culture and stage makeup for decades. Aucoin, often noted as being decades ahead of his contemporaries, is considered to be one of greatest make-up artists of the modern age.

    The video clip, directed by Matthew Rolston in 1999, pays homage to Joan Crawford in the film Humouresque (1946) as well as to The Thomas Crown Affair (1968). Re-telling the famous death of Joan Crawford, Madonna stages her aquatic suicide and her rebirth.

Very clever of you to point out that! Gracias por compartir!

    Madonna worked on the Ray of Light album that included the Power of Goodbye in 1997. The album was released in February 22, 1998. I think the most likely influence for this song was her break up with Carlos Leon in 1997. She gave birth to their daughter, Lourdes, in 1996 after she completed the filming of Evita. Really appreciate your reactions to Madonna’s artistry.

  • @jiggity76

    For me, I think them playing chess is an expression of equality and then sometimes deciding who has the power or control in the relationship. Matching wit for wit and for her to show that she can hold her own and even surpass him. She's letting him know that she's not as weak as he might thing she might be...that she can and carry her own weight and will be just fine on her own.
    Yes, those strings in the interlude is hard to deny. I still find myself fighting back tears when I hear them still to this day.

    When my ex fiancé and I broke up, this song was playing in the background of our last fight. (Not physical) it took me years to listen to it again. It’s still hard to listen to, because the words were so prophetic. One of my absolute favorites by her though. So beautiful. So heartbreaking. My other favorite is Look of Love. It’s off the Who’s That Girl soundtrack. Beautiful song, too.

    I think the ambiguous suicide scene was based off of an old Joan Crawford movie, called Humoresque. I can't remember if there was a scene about chess in that film, but yes, I assume it's about a combative relationship which she feels she needs to break away from.

      I do not believe we’ll have many ballads on the celebration tour. I mean, we can’t be sure until the sunless comes out. The inevitable next move after this tour for Madonna will do the ballads tour because everyone seems to forget that Madonna has just as many successful ballads. More successful than many of her dance-oriented songs, at least on the hot 100. A Slow or mid-tempo show, much like Adele or one of these types of performers.

    As much as I’m a kid of the 80s, this album is by far when Madonna looked and sounded the best. First, for as stunning as she was in the 1980s, she was absolutely gorgeous in her late 30s to early 40s. Second, there isn’t a bad song on this album, which is the only Madonna album for which this is true, IMHO.

    Madonna stated it's about a strong love affair that was at an end and somebody had to bite the bullet as it was turning toxic - Madonna ended the relationship also symbolised by her destroying the chess game - The inspiration came from the movie The Thomas Crown Affair 1968 - Our Australian music critic and guru Molly Meldrum that introduced us to Madonna in 1984 with an interview that's so indearing - a must watch as madonna was so young and innocent - she was very playful and our Molly was stutteringly nervous as usual - talking about the simplest things and also comparing her to Michael Jackson when she only had one hit Holiday in Australia - He is a very close friend and said the song was also linked to Sean. This is the interview with a gorgeous young glowing and natural Madonna just off the streets and a virgin in the industry - I get a tear in my eye watching this interview as I saw it live and hooked on Madonna from that day onwards and she is toooooo adorable -
