When she is talking in the middle of the song ...there are two verses simultaneously spoken. If you listen to the video with headphones you can hear one verse on the left side and one verse on the right side. Verse 1 "Waiting is the hardest thing. I tell myself that if I believe in you, in the dream of you. With all my heart and all my soul.That by sheer force of will. I will raise you from the ground. And without a sound you'll appear and surrender to me, to Love. Verse 2 It's strange I feel like I've known you before. And I want to understand you... More and more and more. When I'm with you I feel like a magical child. Everything strange everything wild. (So when you watch the video you'll see the images switch from left to right as she is speaking each verse). The Album version of Rain is a longer version.
One thing about Madonna's songs, is that alot of them are timeless. They sound just as good back in the day, as they do today. Great song, great reaction! I've been listening to Dress You Up from The Virgin Tour, it's so good! Check it out?
I always loved this song, the lyrics are captivating. The video is wonderful, it was originally shot in black and white, then it was digitally colored, ahead of the time for being of high quality. It has a futuristic air and Madonna looks gorgeous. Thanks for reacting to this video.
My all time favorite Madonna ballad. This song was the last single off Erotica and she had gotten so much flack from the media about the album and her Sex book this song never got the love it deserved. As you also see she's almost totally covered in this video the opposite of her other videos in this Era. Again I love hearing you sing thank you for your love of the Goddess of Pop!! Also I've had relationships that end and begin and end again and sometimes it's for the best. Just remember the good times and let the bad ones fade. Xoxoxo
Oh yes, "Time Stood Still" is everything. LOVE that one. As is "Miles Away". "Rain" is one of those videos that pop into your head immediately when you hear the song. It just fits so perfectly.
There is 2 separate versus spoken almost simultaneously with a slight delay so each verse alternates lines. Sounds brilliant on headphones alternating ears. V1 -Waiting is the hardest thing V2- (It's strange) V1- I tell myself that if I believe in you V2- (I feel like I've known you before) V1- In dream of you V2- (And I want to understand you) V1- With all my heart and all my soul V2 -(More and more and more) V1- That by sheer force of will V2- (When I'm with you) V1- I will raise you from the ground V2- (I feel like a magical child) V1 -And without a sound, you'll appear V2- (Everything strange) V1- And surrender to me, to love V2 - (Everything wild) Amazing.
You asked about airplay in US: "Erotica" was #02 , "Deeper and Deeper" was #08, "Bad Girl" was #44 and "Rain" #11 on Billboard Radio Songs Chart. Can't find the sales charts now but I remember that "Deeper and Deeper" peaked #02 on US Single Sales Charts. Unlike UK where only sales counts towards charts in US the Official charts takes also airplay into account. In US "Rain" was a big Adult Comtemporary radio hit peaking at #07 on AC Chart.
I think Rain was actually put on on the album to lighten it up a bit and be the creamy, pop, smooth, cleaner, hit maker machine sound she was known for w/o as much innuendo. I think of Cherish, True Blue, and Don’t Stop on their respective albums (even tho True Blue is one of my faves) did the same. They are almost too easy, like M made them in her sleep for the critical plebes of her more meaningful work.
I want to know how people play the video. I know it is kinemaster or something but what I don't get is how people pause the video and them resume it while ur talking.
This is another gem that got lost in the controversy surrounding the Erotica era. The video was cutting edge at the time and I believe the colors were painted by hand. Another incredible look for Madonna she just commits to an entire look. And her eyes are hypnotic here. I think you mean “I’ll Remember “ which is similar to Rain and came a few years after. Love your reaction 👏👏❤️
You always forget to mention her charting in Australia 🇦🇺 lol but Erotica went to number 1 her at the time she toured for the Girlie Show as it was her first ever time visiting so everyone was really excited to see her
Unfortunately, most people will never know how amazing the Erotica album actually is. They just missed out on the era and there was too much scandal. But at the same time, I wouldn’t pass on her having done the SEX book.
madonna eyes are beautiful,in a perfect top model,,,QUEEN OF POP
Madonna is the Queen of Pop🎉
When she is talking in the middle of the song ...there are two verses simultaneously spoken.
If you listen to the video with headphones you can hear one verse on the left side and one verse on the right side. Verse 1
"Waiting is the hardest thing.
I tell myself that if I believe in you, in the dream of you.
With all my heart and all my soul.That by sheer force of will.
I will raise you from the ground.
And without a sound you'll appear and surrender to me, to Love.
Verse 2
It's strange
I feel like I've known you before.
And I want to understand you...
More and more and more.
When I'm with you I feel like a magical child. Everything strange everything wild.
(So when you watch the video you'll see the images switch from left to right as she is speaking each verse).

U absolute legend.
You said it all
My all time favourite ballad-esque Madonna song.
Rain ❤
A agree , gorgeous MADONNA,she look like a top model!!! stunning
This is pop art. My favorite ballad from her, nearly perfect

One of her most underrated songs and videos. Both are extremely hypnotic

Thank you.
An awesome live version of this song is from the "Girlie Show".
I just watched it and completely blown away
What’s amazing is this was shot in black and white and then the colour was added. Amazing. Why the look is such. X
Wow never knew that

One tip: click on any area of the screen, you can also pause the video...!

Massive kudos to Madonna as I feel like every one of her songs is so well 'orchestrated' musically. I really like 'Take a Bow' quite a lot too.
you really are stunning Mr lol
Thank you once again James for this awesome Madonna reaction 💗 💫

Definitely got lost. It is a shame really I didn't know it only got to 14 in the US. It is such a timeless beautiful song.
