@@helgafever768 Madonna and baby face wrote and produced the song. The style of the song has baby face all over it and he is singing background as well
I really miss the music video era. It was such a cool time to sit in your living room or bedroom and just let VH1 or MTV play videos uninterrupted. This video itself is a masterpiece
My mother loved Madonna so much ever since she was a teenager until her passing last month. We used this song for one of her funeral songs. Mum rest in Peace 03-07-1973-07-01-2022
Babyface had a huge part in this.❤❤ I hear him singing in the background. He was great at writing ballads 🙌🏽 Love Madonna also, grew up listening to both of them🎉
This is Madonna's best song ever in my opinion. The lyrics are so deep that represents everyone's heart which has been broken 💔 😢. A truly wonderful goddess ❤️
Man, I miss the 80s & 90s; what a time! To have been able to experience it all #blessed...at least we can still enjoy these masterpieces today. #takemeback
Madonna is responsible for the way "Take a Bow" turned out. She cowrote and coproduced it, and the beautiful, Asian-inspired orchestrations were HER idea, not his. Babyface had never worked with a live orchestra prior to the production of this song.
@@chilibeen5484 Relax snow flake, no animals were harmed on the making of this video. Mutilating the male genitalia could be seen as human cruelty, would you accuse the jewish people for the circumcision? Just because you dont belong to a culture or you dont understand it doesnt mean its cruel...Nature is cruel, have you seen lions feeding on a newborn zebra? Have you ever known about a child born with cancer? Get overyourself and your weak beliefs.
I’m currently 17 who’s just barely getting into Madonna’s work and I have to say that this song is truly amazing. It makes me feel nostalgic for a time I wasn’t born in. I only wish I was born sooner to experience the music that came out during this time. This song has been stuck on repeat and now has become my favorite Madonna song of all time.
I'm 21 (was around 17 when I officially started to listen to her) and trust me you won't regret listening to Madonna's entire catalog. The best discography for a female artist (or any artist) EVER.
It's a great song. But you will discover so many, many more great songs are out there, I promise. Great music is timeless, and the 1990s are just one decade of so very many,
I was born in 1980, so I don't remember a time without Madonna! This has always been one of my favorite songs by her, but album wise, True Blue will always be my number one.
"Love conquers all"... When all in my world is going horrifically bad despite my best efforts... I just keep the Faith and know that something's gonna come into existence and counter balance all this! Because when I'm on the brink of a better life.. Everything is going wrong in the worst ways. Amen. 3:10
I’m Black and this was one of my favorite songs growing up. A true masterpiece. “There’s no one in the crowd”. That’s the damn, truth. Them don’t matter, I should sooo, GOODBYE!!
I was 12 yo and I had a crush on one of best friends & I remember crying while listening to this song. When she would say Make them laugh, it comes so easy When you get to the part Where you're breaking my heart Hide behind your smile. Ugh 😢
@LyonsM I'm not saying racism isn't real. But from your original statement, u made it seem like being black and liking a Madonna song is some sort of taboo, lol. And I'm saying that in America, it's portrayed that if you're black, u only listen to r&b, rap, and blues/jazz. And if you're white, u only listen to rock, country, and classical. It's a negative mindset people have in this country, and it's sad. At the end of the day, we are all just different shades of wheat........ but if u cut me, I bleed red, as would u!! That's why I don't feed into this race shit because I know the masses have fed into it because of this countries horrible history and what has happened, but if we keep looking at the past 24/7 and isolating ourselves to those elementary standards how will we progress and make the world a better place?
Yes, If we manage to avoid looking at the poor bull dying, especially at the end. Maybe if Hispanics had actually been able to win a real war against the white "gringos" at any time in the last 400+ years, they wouldn't have to take it out on the poor bulls. But from the time of the Spanish Armada through Trafalgar up to the more recent Falklands War, they have gotten completely clobbered by whitey in a fair fight. That's gotta bother them.
One of madonna's most beautiful songs. You completely feel and relate to the heartbreak. How can a song be so sad yet so beautiful? And baby face's voice is the perfect touch. ❤
+Jennifer Brigitte (Optical Vortex), Madonna is not Celine or Whitney and she does not intend to be. She has other priorities and does not come down to a singer.
Rita, it is definitely a timeless song. I was born in the end of the 90's, but it seems I will get older listening to it. One time or another, we will always have to say goodbye.
Never knew Babyface was involved in this song until recently. Listening to it again after so many years, you could definitely hear him, but also that signature production sound of his earlier, nineties era smooth jams that made hit after hit.
Babyface is one of the songwriter of the song. He is also the producer, background vocals, drum programmer, and synthesizer for the song. That's what you call talent.
They both wrote and produced it, so not only is the author Babyface, first appears her name "Madonna" from the song's credits; So Madonna also takes credit for this issue, not only babyface and I know it because I have it on the album.
+Diego Costa Madonna never hid that the cinema is one of her huge influences, for more, being an actress & filmmaker. Express Yourself video is one example. Several filmmakers have already been called to collaborate on her music videos as James Foley & David Fincher
The greatest Madonna Ballad! And her longest number 1 for seven weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100!!! I'm still obsessed with this song and the music video is just so beautiful!!!
Her ballads showcase her best work in terms of emotional expression, melancholy tone, melodic rhythm, soul searching lyrics...so when these elements were put together into a song, the best outcome ever!!!
Everyone is all about 80s Madonna but 90s Madonna IS REALLY her peak. This song is still her biggest hit single in the US, spending 7 weeks at #1 in 1995. Babyface and his background vocals are excellent as well. 90s Madonna rules, she was so versatile and commanding that decade. She had her best videos, albums and tours that decade and every new album she released in the 90s it seemed she was tackling a new music genre. I mean she started the 90s Voguing and ended the 90s by releasing Ray of Light and being all spiritual and mystical. Such a change
samuel osler Yes finally, I've always thought it is her best decade, the most versatile and different from everything she had done before, i love 90's Madonna!
In this beautiful song that she gave her madonan, it was as if she believed that everything would be love and that love, heart and honor will always be with us.
I remember hearing this song in 95 it was so beautiful. I listen to it now and can say I went through this emotional experience. Why can't we have the one we love? It's always so complicated love hurts.
It was already written by him before madonna came along and had it laying around in his studio. He couldn't get anyone to sing it or didn't know who to give it to, then Madonna picked it up, brush it up, made it better with orchestral arrangement and viola.
This is the most visually stimulating video of all times . For me the symbolism ,abstract and subliminal messages go far beyond the sublime. Life , happiness. death, pain and sadness. It is like one of William Shakespeare master pieces. Maybe it reminds me of Romeo and Juliet . Two star crossed lovers that end in tragedy.
This for me is the most beautiful song by Madonna, it perfectly mixes love, sensuality, masculine gallantry, melancholy, beauty, romanticism and all the bittersweet things of love. Her beautifully youthful face gives the finishing touch to that jewel called "Take a bow".
@@josuegonzalez9100 . In my opinion,for what it's worth, Madonna's second greatest song is "Live To Tell" followed by "This Used To Be My Playground" and "Crazy For You".
My stepdad who was like a father to me used to love Madonna, and especially this song. Whenever I miss him, I come back to this song. Wherever you are, Your daughter misses you so much
I agree. There's no substance to their music videos it's all just half naked women throwing around money and with the white girls in the background the black guys in the front ground thinking they're all that it's there's no talent
STUNNING STUNNING STUNNING Her voice, her looks, the drama, the heartbreak, the beauty of it all, the cinematic feel, the music, the lyrics. This was an instant classic. You'll See is a close second ❤️❤️❤️
Most people know Madonna as a dance artist, but she doesn't get nearly enough credit for creating some of the most beautiful and iconic ballads of the 20th AND 21st centuries. This song and video are a perfect example. See Also: Live to Tell, Rain, Crazy for You, I'll Remember, Frozen, You'll See, This Used to be My Playground ..... and the list goes on and on and on and on. Thank You Madonna, for ALL of your masterful contributions to music and culture.
She really doesnt. Live to tell, Crazy for you, Take a bow, Rain, I’ll remember, This used to he my playground, Frozen, etc. Theres way too many good ones.😊
my mom used to play this song when I was little. Recently I re-watched FRIENDS, and this song was played in the episode where Rachel found out Ros's feelings. It played at the end of the episode, when Rachel is waiting for Ros in the airport. I instantly recognised the melody and felt some kind of a nostalgic feeling. It's amazing how music can bring back memories.
Lyrics Take a bow, the night is over This masquerade is getting older Lights are low, the curtains down There's no one here (There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd) Say your lines but do you feel them Do you mean what you say when there's no one around (no one around) Watching you, watching me, one lonely star (One lonely star you don't know who you are) I've always been in love with you (always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (you know it's true) You took my love for granted, why oh why The show is over, say goodbye Say goodbye (bye bye), say goodbye Make them laugh, it comes so easy When you get to the part Where you're breaking my heart (breaking my heart) Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown (Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown) Wish you well, I cannot stay You deserve an award for the role that you played (role that you played) No more masquerade, you're one lonely star (One lonely star and you don't know who you are) I've always been in love with you (always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (you know it's true) You took my love for granted, why oh why The show is over, say goodbye Say goodbye (bye bye), say goodbye All the world is a stage (world is a stage) And everyone has their part (has their part) But how was I to know which way the story'd go How was I to know you'd break (You'd break, you'd break, you'd break) You'd break my heart I've always been in love with you (I've always been in love with you) Guess you've always known You took my love for granted, why oh why The show is over, say goodbye Say goodbye (bye bye), say goodbye Say goodbye
Ghosttown or those videos in 2019 could not be compared to Take A Bow, the artistry here is phenomenal. Even the production price is not comparable, record companies simply don’t invest in music videos nowadays. Not to mention Madonna is no longer the current top 10 selling artists. Resources won’t be allocated to her.
In this beautiful song that she gave her madonan, it was as if she believed that everything would be love and that love, heart and honor will always be with us.
This is the first ever Madonna video remastered in 4K, what a major reason for celebration!!! Hope to see more of her masterpieces in 4K, including Rain, Vogue, Don’t Tell Me, Bad Girl, Ray of Light, Like a Prayer and Express Yourself, I want You, You’ll See, Power of Goodbye and Fever 🔥 😍
Take a bow, the night is over This masquerade is getting older Light are low, the curtains down There's no one here (There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd) Say your lines but do you feel them Do you mean what you say when there's no one around (No one around) Watching you, watching me, One lonely star (One lonely star you don't know who you are) I've always been in love with you (Always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (You know it's true) You took my love for granted, why oh why The show is over, say good-bye Say good-bye (Bye bye), say good-bye Make them laugh, it comes so easy When you get to the part Where you're breaking my heart (Breaking my heart) Hide behind your smile, All the world loves a clown (Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown) Wish you well, I cannot stay You deserve an award for the role that you played (Role that you played) No more masquerade, You're one lonely star (One lonely star and you don't know who you are) I've always been in love with you (Always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (You know it's true) You took my love for granted, why oh why The show is over, say good-bye I've always been in love with you (Always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (You know it's true) You took my love for granted, why oh why The show is over, say good-bye Say good-bye (Bye bye), say good-bye All the world is a stage (World is a stage) And everyone has their part (Has their part) But how was I to know which way the story'd go How was I to know you'd break (You'd break, you'd break, you'd break) You'd break my heart I've always been in love with you (I've always been in love with you) Guess you've always known You took my love for granted, why oh why The show is over, say good-bye I've always been in love with you (Always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (You know it's true) You took my love for granted, why oh why The show is over, say good-bye Say good-bye (Bye bye), say good-bye Say good-bye
Through the magic of Babyface this deservingly so became her longest running #1 at 7 weeks. Using the pentatonic scale and Asian Dorian mode in the string arrangement it reminds me how sophisticated and beautiful Pop music can be. I'm fortunate to have grown up in this era. The 90s showcased artists at their best. This is beautiful art. simply put.
Gabriel, you've dropped a little gem here. i had no idea what the pentatonic scale. Babyface had the entire decade on lock. People would just see his tiny signature on the back of a CD and just grab regardless of who was on the cover.
STILL listening and loving this song in 2022 and on and on. Madonna and Babyface equals PERFECTION. This song is TIMELESS and will never go away. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
I love this song so much, Madonna's voice is so beautiful and she looks so gorgeous in this video. I have been a Madonna fan for 37 yrs. Madonna is the Queen!!👑✨
this music video is ART. the cinematography. the tint. the ambience. the sexiness of Madonna and Emilio. damn, the more I watch this, the more I appreciate this masterpiece, the song and the music video are the greatest work of art🧡
One of Madonna's most beautiful videos and ballads. But then again, how could she go wrong with one of the best ballad R&B singers, *Babyface* , (Kenneth Edmonds) co-writing this and smooth vocals flowing in the background??? 🥰
In this beautiful song that she gave her madonan, it was as if she believed that everything would be love and that love, heart and honor will always be with us.
Omg I haven't watched this since I was a kid. I came because it crossed my mind and thinking is that baby face. Didn't realize way back then. Just loved the Madonna "bullfighting" video
it probably has samples from a Japanese classic, the melody of the chorus sounded like a Japanese karaoke classic. Madonna is not Copying. She is just Paying Tribute to Japan and Buddhism! Take A Bow is buddhism vs. her Catholic roots. The Video is about Spain and the Virgin of Guadalupe. But Take A Bow is about Buddhist teachings.
@@eduardochavacano Hay mucho que decir sobre esta canción. La estoy evaluando desde que salió el disco, pero jamas evalué ese punto de vista. La única conexión que veo es el kimono que utilizó cuando la canto con babyface en los american music awards, y creo que ha sido la única vez que la cantó en vivo. Tu tienes algún enlace o video donde explique mas a fondo lo que planteas? Es una teoría muy interesante.
"I don't believe anyone who's worked with Madonna would've made a great Madonna song if she hadn't been involved as a writer and producer. We wrote it together. We each brought lyrics and melodies, singing them back and forth. She also brought in the arranger for the strings, which sound amazing." -Babyface about the Queen of Pop, who's talents are often discredited, 2022

Yes it does
Amazing how many hits she's had over time. She literally has dozens of them.
yes she does and it's great music not subpar shit like beyonce, christina, adele, and other artists
Thats why she's the queen of pop,what she became by hardwork
Lots of hits that became classics.

There are many treasures in her music.

Babyface is one of the songwriter of the song. He is also the producer, background vocals, drum programmer, and synthesizer for the song. That's what you call talent.
Babyface wrote it.

Madonna's voice is stunning in this song, proving that she does have a great voice.
+jian bai jianbai Agreed, wonderful collaboration of two very talented people
+jian bai jianbai agreed! babyface was/is the best :)
Babyface truly is a MASTERFUL songwriter and producer. This song is a wonder-work, practically perfect.
Madonna co-wrote and co-produced this track and many many others
They both wrote and produced it, so not only is the author Babyface, first appears her name "Madonna" from the song's credits; So Madonna also takes credit for this issue, not only babyface and I know it because I have it on the album.
Put together Babyface & synthesizer and You get a classic
Your right
Ots a perfect song. Watch the music awards live performance, they are both on a PODIUM, unreal
I think this is the most beautiful piece of work Madonna produced. Lovely.
back when Madonna was a CONCEPTUAL artist and her videos were CINEMA
Watch Ghost town she still has it
+Diego Costa she still is. Have you even seen Ghosttown?
They were Brilliant breathtaking peices of art.
Living For Love & Ghosttown
+Diego Costa Madonna never hid that the cinema is one of her huge influences, for more, being an actress & filmmaker.
Express Yourself video is one example.
Several filmmakers have already been called to collaborate on her music videos as James Foley & David Fincher
The greatest Madonna Ballad! And her longest number 1 for seven weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100!!! I'm still obsessed with this song and the music video is just so beautiful!!!
"you deserve an award for the role that you play" is such a simple, yet effective lyric. Masterful.
Its the line that gets me every time in that song. My favorite Madonna song for sure!
Truly
Very powerful indeed. They make you believe their love is true, you can’t even tell it’s all an act.
@@dm9489Yes for sure along with "I Remember".
My awakening. What a great song.
I'm 63 yo, and when she hit the music scene, it was masterful. Every club, bar, restaurant had her music... Life was good
61 now.
#lovebrotyouhere.
Yes life seemed simpler but at 48 I realize it is all our perspective. ❤❤❤
It was just Awesome being around those days...
Madonna's best songs in my opinion are her ballards. This is one is my fave. Her voice is amazing on this track.
Her ballads showcase her best work in terms of emotional expression, melancholy tone, melodic rhythm, soul searching lyrics...so when these elements were put together into a song, the best outcome ever!!!
🎯🎯
Yes I totally agree. This song and Live To Tell are my faves. 80s rule!!
Omg.can these bitches spell?
Absolutely 💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Baby-face singing background vocals makes this song epic
Larukuislove really?
Yes I agree
@@momscandaytrade yes it does and that really is him singing background vocals
Oh dear...
He co-wrote and produced the track. Magic.
Happy 30th Take A Bow 🙇♂️ 🙌🏼 👏🏼 ❤️ ✨️ love you Madonna 😍
This song is heartbreakingly beautiful.....
This song is an absolute masterpiece.
boa noiteiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I agree with you 💚
Everyone is all about 80s Madonna but 90s Madonna IS REALLY her peak. This song is still her biggest hit single in the US, spending 7 weeks at #1 in 1995. Babyface and his background vocals are excellent as well. 90s Madonna rules, she was so versatile and commanding that decade. She had her best videos, albums and tours that decade and every new album she released in the 90s it seemed she was tackling a new music genre. I mean she started the 90s Voguing and ended the 90s by releasing Ray of Light and being all spiritual and mystical. Such a change
samuel osler It came out in October 1994 and first charted at #1 on the Billboard Top 40 December 10,1994. Not 1995.
Tornado1994 ~ Reminds me of the death of actor Raul Julia who died when this came out ! Take a bow, Raul ! (*_~)
SUGAR XYLER I agree R.I.P. Raul Julia 1940-1994.
samuel osler Yes finally, I've always thought it is her best decade, the most versatile and different from everything she had done before, i love 90's Madonna!
+samuel osler Her best work was 83-85
Still love this song!!
‘Take A Bow’ remains Madonna’s longest staying song at the American Number One. Very good co-writing and production by Kenneth Edmonds.
Yes 7 consecutive weeks. Like a Virgin was 6 consecutive weeks
@@CelineOracle like a v!rgin
You can always tell when Babyface is on a record. His vocals are always in background.
Babyface again legend
Co-written and sang by Queen Madonna 😍
Another Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds' masterpiece with a Madonna touch: Perfect!
i didn't know he did this kool love babyface

@@MsDisneylandlover Babyface wrote the song and did background vocals too.

I admire her creativity portraying the characters of her music. She is talented both lyrically and visually. ❤️
I think she is a great actress when it comes to interpreting her songs visually.
can someone tell me the name of Madonna sing:am falling in love baby,
@misa95 (Gaga's little monster ♥) Go suffer somewhere else.
@@gerardomoreno6704 Plus she's great actress in films as Desesperatly Seeking Susan, Dick Tracy, A League of Their Own, Evita
In this beautiful song that she gave her madonan, it was as if she believed that everything would be love and that love, heart and honor will always be with us.
I remember hearing this song in 95 it was so beautiful. I listen to it now and can say I went through this emotional experience. Why can't we have the one we love? It's always so complicated love hurts.
If you can tell, that is Babyface singing background vocals. He wrote and produced this song with Madonna. Loved this song ❤
Yas. Cuz her pen game is not good.
I knew that.
It was already written by him before madonna came along and had it laying around in his studio. He couldn't get anyone to sing it or didn't know who to give it to, then Madonna picked it up, brush it up, made it better with orchestral arrangement and viola.
krazygurlize ....did not know that. All these years🙂
Very true, he's the man too!
Madonna in her prime was so legendary.
She still is, she has the highest grossing concert tour of 2024! 😂😂"Snap out of it, say Cher!"
This is definitely my most favorite ballad song from Madonna 💕💕💕 so full of emotion, so full of drama 💖

Very sad 😢
This is the most visually stimulating video of all times . For me the symbolism ,abstract and subliminal messages go far beyond the sublime. Life , happiness. death, pain and sadness. It is like one of William Shakespeare master pieces. Maybe it reminds me of Romeo and Juliet . Two star crossed lovers that end in tragedy.
This for me is the most beautiful song by Madonna, it perfectly mixes love, sensuality, masculine gallantry, melancholy, beauty, romanticism and all the bittersweet things of love. Her beautifully youthful face gives the finishing touch to that jewel called "Take a bow".
Written by Babyface
@@joejoiner8582and madonna herself
"Take A Bow" is without any question Madonna's most beautiful song! Great, great song!
Michael Barlow it is, definitely one of her most creative music video. followed by Frozen.
Good
Justify my love is the second one.
@@josuegonzalez9100 . In my opinion,for what it's worth, Madonna's second greatest song is "Live To Tell" followed by "This Used To Be My Playground" and "Crazy For You".
@@michaelbarlow6610 The look of Love, Cherish, Rain, You'll See, The Power of Goodbye are great as well
My stepdad who was like a father to me used to love Madonna, and especially this song. Whenever I miss him, I come back to this song. Wherever you are, Your daughter misses you so much
Hugs to you ❤️
Much love❤
Please play this song every night to make you fall asleep --- it will remind you of your stepfather ❤
❤️
He may not wanted to have to leave but when your parents split he may have had no choice… I’m sorry and I wish you well
Wow, I forgot about this great collaboration between Madonna and Babyface. Together, they sound terrific!
One of the most emotional and sensual songs all the time! Wish current generation gets exposed to music like this
Sensual is the perfect word 👌
thats right man.
Absolutely.... Right 🙏👍🏻🙏Queen of all Queens 👍🏻❤👌Hat'zooffff 2 this amazing talents 🦓
I agree. There's no substance to their music videos it's all just half naked women throwing around money and with the white girls in the background the black guys in the front ground thinking they're all that it's there's no talent
the Venetian in Las Vegas, the Hotel, surwe, why not?
STUNNING STUNNING STUNNING
Her voice, her looks, the drama, the heartbreak, the beauty of it all, the cinematic feel, the music, the lyrics. This was an instant classic. You'll See is a close second ❤️❤️❤️
Most people know Madonna as a dance artist, but she doesn't get nearly enough credit for creating some of the most beautiful and iconic ballads of the 20th AND 21st centuries. This song and video are a perfect example. See Also: Live to Tell, Rain, Crazy for You, I'll Remember, Frozen, You'll See, This Used to be My Playground ..... and the list goes on and on and on and on. Thank You Madonna, for ALL of your masterful contributions to music and culture.
She really doesnt. Live to tell, Crazy for you, Take a bow, Rain, I’ll remember, This used to he my playground, Frozen, etc. Theres way too many good ones.😊
She admired Karen Carpenter and with her movie ballads she kept in her mid-range voice, and was very successful with it.
Also Secret and
Power of Goodbye
my mom used to play this song when I was little. Recently I re-watched FRIENDS, and this song was played in the episode where Rachel found out Ros's feelings. It played at the end of the episode, when Rachel is waiting for Ros in the airport. I instantly recognised the melody and felt some kind of a nostalgic feeling. It's amazing how music can bring back memories.
Lyrics
Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Lights are low, the curtains down
There's no one here
(There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd)
Say your lines but do you feel them
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around (no one around)
Watching you, watching me, one lonely star
(One lonely star you don't know who you are)
I've always been in love with you (always with you)
I guess you've always known it's true (you know it's true)
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say goodbye
Say goodbye (bye bye), say goodbye
Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart (breaking my heart)
Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
(Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown)
Wish you well, I cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played (role that you played)
No more masquerade, you're one lonely star
(One lonely star and you don't know who you are)
I've always been in love with you (always with you)
I guess you've always known it's true (you know it's true)
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say goodbye
Say goodbye (bye bye), say goodbye
All the world is a stage (world is a stage)
And everyone has their part (has their part)
But how was I to know which way the story'd go
How was I to know you'd break
(You'd break, you'd break, you'd break)
You'd break my heart
I've always been in love with you
(I've always been in love with you)
Guess you've always known
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say goodbye
Say goodbye (bye bye), say goodbye
Say goodbye
*Sounds like a song that should be dedicated to the current global establishment of world govs about to collapse. Perfect actually.*
What a pretty breathtaking woman ,hello my darling
No one makes videos like this anymore. Not even Madonna 😢
This is just simply epic and beautiful ❤️
Frozen is better 😉
You're wrong about Madonna.
You didn't saw Madonna's 2019 music videos as Batuka, Dark Ballet and God Control
Also her video for Ghosttown in 2015 has a similar feel to this one
Ghosttown or those videos in 2019 could not be compared to Take A Bow, the artistry here is phenomenal. Even the production price is not comparable, record companies simply don’t invest in music videos nowadays. Not to mention Madonna is no longer the current top 10 selling artists. Resources won’t be allocated to her.
This is an excellent song for anyone who has dealt with unrequited feelings for someone.
Basically my life...lol?!
Here here.
damn
Happy anniversary ❤️
Wow!!!! Just wow!! So beautiful to see this in hd. Beautiful but sad song with stunning visuals!
There is a reason this lady is the queen of pop. ❤️

Masterpiece cause Babyface wrote it
@@dubfilm exactly.
@@dubfilmThis is the comment 🙌🏽
One the best
Through the magic of Babyface this deservingly so became her longest running #1 at 7 weeks. Using the pentatonic scale and Asian Dorian mode in the string arrangement it reminds me how sophisticated and beautiful Pop music can be. I'm fortunate to have grown up in this era. The 90s showcased artists at their best. This is beautiful art. simply put.
Gabriel, you've dropped a little gem here. i had no idea what the pentatonic scale. Babyface had the entire decade on lock. People would just see his tiny signature on the back of a CD and just grab regardless of who was on the cover.
Super agree!!!
This song is so so relaxing and beautiful
🔥🔥🔥🔥
The 90s were everything and more. You put it so beautifully. 👌🏾🎶
2021 and this song is a timeless gem.
Agreed
No lies💯
An all time classic brah.
probably inspired by a Japanese pop song in the early 70s.
And the video...
Love ❤️ love ❤️ love original Madonna. She will always be one of my favorites. ❤
STILL listening and loving this song in 2022 and on and on. Madonna and Babyface equals PERFECTION. This song is TIMELESS and will never go away. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

Same!
it probably has samples from a Japanese classic, the melody of the chorus sounded like a Japanese karaoke classic. Madonna is not Copying. She is just Paying Tribute to Japan and Buddhism! Take A Bow is buddhism vs. her Catholic roots. The Video is about Spain and the Virgin of Guadalupe. But Take A Bow is about Buddhist teachings.
@@eduardochavacano Hay mucho que decir sobre esta canción. La estoy evaluando desde que salió el disco, pero jamas evalué ese punto de vista. La única conexión que veo es el kimono que utilizó cuando la canto con babyface en los american music awards, y creo que ha sido la única vez que la cantó en vivo. Tu tienes algún enlace o video donde explique mas a fondo lo que planteas? Es una teoría muy interesante.
I agree!!
"I don't believe anyone who's worked with Madonna would've made a great Madonna song if she hadn't been involved as a writer and producer. We wrote it together. We each brought lyrics and melodies, singing them back and forth. She also brought in the arranger for the strings, which sound amazing." -Babyface about the Queen of Pop, who's talents are often discredited, 2022
One of the most beautiful music video of all time 😢
