    I think Madonna is unbeatable in the ballad genre. She has a quality of writing that speaks to people's hearts. To think that this delicate song would be followed by a multimedia storm the likes of which had never been seen in pop music...She shows first one side and then another. Without Borders.

    You are right about her versatility. 1989 had Like A Prayer, 1990 Im Breathless 1991 the OScar performance but also the singles from the Immaculate Collection most famously the controversial Justify My Love which was the first US #1 hit of 1991 and here once again a very different side and sound to her. Heartfelt timeless message, no controversy, nothing scandalous but a #1 ballad that still touches people now 30 years later. And we are only getting started in the 90s...

    So glad you covered this beautiful, nostalgic 1992 ballad by Madonna. I must admit I sort of glossed over this gem in my own Madonna journey, distracted by her many more popular hits and masterpieces. She was so prolific, so ahead of her time and have so deep, prodigious videography that I’m constantly amazed and surprised to rediscover and appreciate hidden gems from her past works that initially didn’t resonate with me. For example, it’s only recently that I’m discovering new favorites from her 2003 American Life and 2019 Madame X albums-both undeservedly underrated when they first came out due to the adverse geopolitical/social unrest climate then that distracted the attention of the pop music world at large. You’ll probably discover new gems later after you complete this journey. For true admirers of her artistry and advocacy, I realize a Madonna journey is an open-ended matter of fascination and interest. As one writer aptly said about her work-“The beauty of great art is it’s open to endless interpretation..” ❤your sensitive, insightful reaction to this video/song. Appreciate the joy and wonder of your Madonna journey.

    Love this song, Madonna is not known for having an extraordinary good voice, but i think that she is very good in conveying emotions in her ballads. I am a very nostalgic person for the past, that's why I love the lyrics of the song, also all the mood. I remember discovering this song in the summer of 1992 when i was having the breakfast in the morning before going to work and i saw the video by surprise in the TV. In those days when there was no Internet, these songs that maybe were not a big hit were difficult to discover, or maybe went unnoticed. Although this was a number one in US. I saw the movie "A league of their own" and it was a very good movie, verey recommended. Kisses 😍😍😍

    During my childhood and teen yrs., I lived across the street from the elementary school (K-8th) where the neighborhood kids and teens had access to its playground. In 2012, I went back to my house and saw the school had renovated its property. The playground was gone. I started crying. Days after, I heard this song on SiriusXM 90s and started to cry again. I was if Madonna wrote this song about my playground experience. Emotional nostalgia this song is!

    A very different feel for this Madonna, an artist who up until then, and sometimes still to this day, had constantly re-enforced the statement that one must move on to grow, and that the past must be let go of. Probably great statements if you're a computer or not human hehehe. It was so wonderful to see Madonna tear that down with these lyrics. We are who we are because of who we've been, as well as who we will be. Incidentally, this video was the beginning of the "no eyebrowed" or "bleached eyebrowed" Madonna phase, as well as the end of the famous beauty spot above the lip. She even thanks her beautician for removed her brows in her "Sex" book. I personally love her big bushy brows, but I am more European when it comes to this stuff hehehe Great to see you ladies again... Brace yourselves... 1992 and the Sex era is the next stop on the Madonna journey. XXX

    I've always had a soft spot for her ballads. She may be more known for her dance hits, but she has a number of ballads that were huge at the time. Unfortunately, I feel like this one has been somewhat forgotten even by Madonna. You'll be soon reacting to another sweet ballad called I'll Remember which was for a soundtrack/film also, which was a big hit for her. That song seems to been a forgotten hit of hers as well. Both great songs, it's just so many things overshadowed these songs in the coming years that you'll be reacting to. This is when she and Rosie O'Donnel met and became fast friends when filming A League of Their Own. Still great friends to this day.

    I remember someone asking her about this song and she talked about walking around her old neighborhood on the lower East side of New York where she lived and the clubs she would hang out in the 80's...which had all been torn down or built over. It was their playground ..and everything has gone including some of her friends, some who died of aids.

      Her artistry and activism over the last 40 years has impacted and covered the post-modern evolution of pop music and culture, brought awareness and spurred discussion of relevant social/political/religious issues like no other female music artist has done. Her artistry has raised so much interest among academics, social and cultural scientists that universities offered liberal arts electives on “Madonna Studies” in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Dozens of books have been written about her. I think her legacy masterpieces captured in videos, discs and films will transcend time much like people are still fascinated and still analyzing masterpieces by Beethoven, Da Vinci, Van Gogh, and Shakespeare.

    Apparently, a couple years prior to this, Boy George made a very similar photo album style video (sorry, I don't know the song)
    He took the opportunity to throw a bit a shade, referring to this as "This Used to be My Video" 😉
    Emily would love this movie. I hate sports movies and only saw it because of Madonna...smart casting by director Penny Marshall.
    I always think it's significant because it's where Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell met and formed their seemingly unlikely, but long lasting, friendship.

      The Culture Club song you're referring to is "Time/Clock of the heart". It is true that at the beginning of the video there is the same idea of ​​opening and scrolling through a photo album. But Boy George could have avoided being so venomous: he doesn't have the copyright to all other people's photo albums. However, "Time" is also a splendid song.
