![Madonna - Paradise [Not for Me] (The Confessions Tour) | HD](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ke-sJfUoAJ4/mqdefault.jpg)
This song is so hypnotic. I love it. So different from any nowadays "artist"
That's the difference between a pop star and a truly legend
Period!
Haunting and some ways a Masterpiece . The album version is a lot longer and really instrumental. A favourite.
Drowned worls tour is amazing like Girlie Show and Confessions.
Madonna is unique in live concerts.
Listen the full version this song. Its freaking amazing.
Freaking Best Song from Music Album.
This is probably my favorite Madonna track of all time. I played it to death when it came out and I’ve never tired of it. This is an edited version of the studio version of the song. The song is basically twice as long on the album. There are so many layers in this song. Like you said - it’s so grounded and earthy and somewhat dark. It’s a mood.
Although this is kind of close to the original album version I actually think that the album version is even better and more haunting.
Hope you'll actually do a reaction to that as well.
The studio version is like this but larger and the Synths are kinda different
And her voice has a strong phaser on the original. In the chorus
The live clip from the Drowned World Tour is even more intriguing cus this is the background video while these men come down from the ceiling... Mind blowing
I must must MUST get my old Madonna albums on again for another long overdue listen. Music, Ray of Light, Bedtime Stories and Erotica are bursting at the seams with amazing tunes like this one.
This is her tour interlude. IMAGINE THAT
in the old days, (like when I went to the Girlie Show tour), interludes are a chance to go toilet, grab a beer, a hotdog, -- now, interludes are unmissable :-)
@@hoxtondean9855 Madonna’s interludes are always unmissable
Great reaction. I love, love, love this song and video. Twenty years later and it still sounds fresh and new.
Not only is the album version longer and somewhat "larger" than this - and therefore worth listening to, but it's also at this point good to mention how many of us first came to hear this song. A demo of Paradise (Not For Me) was leaked and it had an even more "crystalline" sound to the voice, almost like her voice was made literally of glass resonating like a set of singing wine glasses. It was completely mind-blowing at the time and came not so long after Cher had a huge hit with "Believe" and the vocal alterations in that song were prominent too.
This is the kind of technical wizardry that I like, where on particular songs it adds something very magical to the sound of her voice and for a particular effect. I'm much, much less of a fan of what she did in the years after this, where the auto-tune effect is on almost all the time (e.g. "Medellin") and usually with a less "sharp" sound; so the machines rob the famous organic warmth from her voice but at the same time don't amp up the coldness, leaving it almost featureless. "Paradise (Not For Me)'s" vocal effects however take the metaphorical temperature down to *subzero* and that really adds to the song's meaning, as it's largely a song about Death.
The imagery in this video is also stunning and very reminiscent of Bjork's "Homogenic" era and of course Madonna's own "Nothing Really Matters" song in the Ray of Light album. As you said, the song could potentially have been in the ROL album as well, and sounds quite different to many of the songs on "Music".
The long album version is such a masterpiece (the strings are so powerful ) French producer Mirwais are amazing and the song PARADISE was not supposed to be for Madonna it was supposed to be only on Mirwais own album with an another singer but Madonna love the song so much she "fight " for it with Mirwais and her record compagny (the song also appears on Mirwais album released few months before Madonna's MUSIC album it could have been a problem with 2 records compagny but i remenber Mirwais say something like Madonna made a call to her record compagny and everything was ok lol )THe album version is everything ;lyrics , production ,the unbelievable rise of the strings ,the way she sings and a lovely verse in french (without that much accent by the way ) I'm sure it's gonna be a journey for you !
This song is just a masterpiece ..give me thrills ...
This song is quality, for connoisseurs, able to understand and get into the journey it takes you. Deep lyrics. A masterpiece. No other pop star of today is able to be that creative and dare to go off track.
This and impressive instant- wow
I love your reaction! This version doesn't include the 4 dancers who are dangling from the ceiling which really adds to the overall visuals during the concert. The album version of this song is amazing also!
Looking forward to your next reaction! 🙂
I almost forget this is my favorite song from this era! So emotional
I think this song is about 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. The whole video is a death ceremony: the two warriors represent the fight between life and death followed by a “death walk” where 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 and the doors closes behind her... she’s on her own now. 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.
At the very end we see a dead tree, a cherry tree, which is the symbol of the “tree of life” in Japanese culture. When she performed this song 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 again.
Perfect!
Good copy and paste lol
@@blue28blue that’s right-the interpretation was an original comment posted by Miguel Nuñez that garnered 322 likes and 27 replies (including mine) as of this time based on the same video released by the Madonna channel.
Madonna videos are a beautifull work of ART !!!
This woman and her music. She's brilliant. One of my faves!
Omg i hope you do the entire Drowned world tour 😍
i hope.. if he were to react to the other concerts - you'd watch the official versions. Just for the respect of her artistic decisions :-)
The studio version is 6:33 of pure bliss which I believe if I'm not mistaken is the longest song in her discography, one her finest moments in my opinion. I remember listening to it off of Mirwais's album 'Production' in 1999 (it was first released on his album before being tagged onto Music). Hope you can react to Zara Larson's new single 'Love Me Land' I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
This is the background used for the interlude at the Drowned World Tour. The studio version is longer and different synths. Both versions are stellar. She did this song live at the Confessions Tour, beautifully done. This is one of my favorite songs of hers, sounds different than anything out then, or now.
You should react to the Drowned World Tour, is a incredible masterpiece concert with a lot a rock 'n' roll, pop eletronic and latino sounds. Please, watch it with us!
sadly... in terms of amazing concerts... he started with the culmination of her best concert ever. the ones before. Especially Blonde Ambition while penultimate at the time can't compare.
@@scottbwright Yes, he should have started from the beginning. Btw it's Blond Ambition Tour. She dropped the letter e to make the word more masculine and androgynous.
@My Name Is Dito Not necessarily disqualifies him but he would be less likely to appreciate them because that's how she evolved as an artist.
@@scottbwright Blond Ambition is my favorite Madonna tour. Then in this order of my favorites: DWT, RT, WTG, VT, S&S, MDNA, CT, RHT, MX & GS.
Best track on the Music album.
One of my favourite songs by the Queen.
Review the Drowned World Tour... this is part of the interlude which is amazing beyond amazing. I still remember how magical is was watching it live. Stunning.
Mirwais is pronounced “ M-E-R-W-A-Y” he’s French. Great reaction. Good song one of my favorites from her 2000 Music album
don't forget the SSS at the end ;)
No
Erre Gi in french we say : MeerwayS ; like it or not ;)
@@frozzymad I was not talking to you, however this revelation will change or lives forever!! he was born in Switzerland from Afghan father and Italian mother, thus his name is not French. I've always heard a different pronounce . But.... When I'm wrong I'm wrong . Check it out the real thing on this link, Ahmadzai is the fourth, then search downwards for Sadiq Mirwais. Brace!

I remember when Madonna first started and how she was dismissed as a novelty act. In 2021 we are still dissecting Madonna and asking the same question is she still relevant? If you are asking the question then the answer is yes.
A+mazing indeed.
I feel that you like out the box songs and videos, then you should definitely see Madonna's Oh Father, Bad Girl, What It Feels Like For a Girl and Dark Ballet
A masterpiece!
You should listen to the album version, this one has kinda edited vocals to fit the tour.
Woooo thanks Dereck FANTASTIC VIDEO MADONNA QUEEN
Although this was never a favorite of mine (I like the upbeat stuff) as when I used to DJ, I am much more into remixes of this song! But as I have gotten older I appreciate the slower stuff more! Madonna is the most remixed artist of all time! There are literally a 100 versions of each & every song she released by her own label of 12" Maxi-Singles (club mixes) or bootleg/home DJ versions that are done by other DJ's or your average "Joe's" who's into music production! Thanks Dereck!
When the Music album came out back in 2000, i didn't like this song. I thought it was strange. Now it's my favorite song on the album.
I loved it immediately, still my favourite after 20 years. My least favourite from the album, yet a great song, was and still is "Nobody's Perfect".
I love so many Madonna songs but this song always resonated with me in a different way. I even have the words ‘your paradise is not for me’ tattooed on my arm. I’ve always interpreted the lyrics as a battle with religion, especially as a gay man. The idea that I would not be accepted in a traditional heaven (“paradise”) has always hit hard and this song almost has a defiance against that traditional religious ideology and makes me think that paradise isn’t so perfect. Also that production is 🔥
This song is so close to my heart. Definitely in my top 10 Madonna songs.
This is the video screen backdrop, not the stage performance. This is also an interlude. If you're going to review it you should at least watch the performance from the DVD. The staging is other worldly
My friend is friends with Jamie King who choreographed this. Jamie said that when Madonna was wearing this kimono on the shoot, she did a huge fart in it which apparently stunk out the crew. Apparently M then admitted that she followed through a bit.
Drowned world tour was the first tour I saw on VHS it introduced me to Madonna I love this tour so much 👸 the video is awesome
As we know Madonna is not only a superstar she is a Mega star all around the world. She has a huge Asian following that she loves and adores.
Unique n original from way back when...still a bit forward to this day!
It is worth watching the DVD, which also shows the performance of the dancers on the scene. It's incredible!
Who is going to believe that this is the first time that you listen and see this video?
long lives the producer Mirwais. just look out for the album of mirwais that including paradise, too
Was never afraid to stretch the boundaries, regardless of her popularity. Underappreciated artist that got better the less "pop" she got.
The album version is haunting perfection.
Ive always loved this song i love álbum version
Art. ✔
I love your appreciation of her music. She takes you on an emotional journey through life. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to more of you on Madonna 🤗❤
I can't believe her MUSIC album is 20 years old!!!! In my opinion its her album that's aged the least. It sounds as fresh now as it did in 2000.
a lot of ppl dont know her music is spiritual and symbolic . i love this review =)
On the tour for Drowned World 2001, she led from this interlude into Frozen. Watch the Frozen performance from the tour. It's one of the best ever.
Those two guys leading her to
“ death” gave me chills!!!! But I LOVE this song too, the confessions version is a version I never want to end.
Love your reaction D!!!
thank u so much 👍💙
Zane
I love your reactions there so genuine and Authentic
This is one of her song's about her mother's death, specifically her feelings of wanting to die so she could be with her mother again. She has quite a few that deal with the subject - Promise to Try, Inside Of Me, Mer Girl, Mother & Father.
I remember this song, my room-mate played it constantly. Its a stoner hit :D
If you liked this masterpiece you’re gonna love Music, American Life and Madame X albums btw your reactions are amazing 😉
Madonna said she has always had a fascination with japan
Your face, smile and arms!... yummmmm
Yes, do the studio version. The Drowned World Tour was artsy and dealt thematically with finding female empowerment vis-a-vis violence against women. Some of the other screen interludes are just as artistically intriguing and beautifully done. The entire concert was thrilling to watch live.
Madonna's work with Mirwais (french pronunciation is mer-wayss) is always good.
This version of the song reminds me of Addiction and Struggle. That bit about our past that's come through in the end to drive you to seek something else to cope. Something electronic and robotic.
The original actually has a lighter optimistic break
You should totally react to "Nobody's Perfect" from the Drowned World tour. Most if not all reactors haven't reacted to that one yet.
Yes!
I really recommend you to watch the actual number. What you reacted to is not the dancers/acrobats' performance but the isolated backdrop video. That intermission was epic and haunting. This backdrop was just a part of it.
I loved this when I saw the Drowned World Tour in 2001.
yessss amazing....I love this journey from music album........
this is one of my favorite Madonna songs - i love how experimental it sounds, @Dereck, you would need to watch the Drowned World tour for context, the geisha is being lead into her arranged marriage.
The best song from Madonna. Love the album version more. Confessions version also very sad.
Apparently Mirwais / Madonna were inspired by the notes of a song by George Harrison called "Cockamamie Business", if you listen to it you will notice the similarities.
Great job!
I love the drowned world tour.....it is a very dark show .....absolutly amazing....
Studio version is powerful and this is one of the best songs of her. It’s so touching
love madonna
Yeahh.. This tour is great too .. its back after 6 years out of stages.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
The album version is even better, listening to it it equals to having a spiritual journey for 6 minutes. It is a masterpiece, straight away became one of my all time favourite Madonna songs back in November 2000. I've always thought it should have been released as single, it is dark and maybe not radio friendly but who cares.
She said on one interview that the song is about suicide. In the final part you can see a light getting out of her mouth, it's when the soul leave the body 😭
Should have watched it as the backdrop to the live 2001 performance. It would have add more sense. You actually need to watch the whole samurai ninja section In the show.
You gotta watch The Drowned World Tour performance of this song.
You definitely need to listen & watch her continued Geisha themed song; Nothing Really Matters. She performed only once. The Grammys. You'll like it.😊 Plus music video.
This backdrop video/song is the beginning of the Geisha segment on her Drowned World Tour, one of her best concert tours!!! Very theatrical, dark and raw. You need to react to this tour, it's amazing!!
Meer-way is the producer. He's French. He also released an album of his own tunes in 2000 I think.
There's four Madonna songs I would LOVE you to react :
-"Paradise (not for me)" : ua-cam.com/video/5h-yTRumF8I/v-deo.html
-"Easy ride" : ua-cam.com/video/bYEwo_8qpRE/v-deo.html
-"Gang bang" : ua-cam.com/video/9DQ7WFtFHTA/v-deo.html
-"God control" : ua-cam.com/video/P__b1uN8G4A/v-deo.html
Would be a thrill to look at you discovering these songs and know what you're thinking of them ! 🙏🏼
Derek, this just means that you have to do an album reaction to:
1. Ray of Light (1998)
2. Music (2000)
3. Confessions on a Dancefloor (2005)
This is such a simple elegant beautiful song.
It takes your breath away
the most dark Madonna song and video!!!!!
MDNA tour next babe! :)
hello this was a reduced version that of the disc there are more instrumental parts I love the version of the disc and the song since always
Love the French speaking part :...je suis cassée = I’m broken
That wasn't a xylophone. It was a synthesizer.
i really like the strings on this song. electronics cant reproduce the sounds of real "strings". If you can check out the Demo version (maybe here on youtube), i find it better than the cd version. vocals are without voice box affect. its more dramatic, in my opinion.
The studio version is killing me, you can hear the details her vocal, instruments and background vocal, this song is evergreen... even in another decade people still enjoy this track cause it such pure masterpiece. Her live version 2006 are amazing... put this track into another level featuring Isaac Sinvani, in 2016 she perform in Tears Of A Clown... which is more personal with different persona.
Frozen is the next live performance from this song....tribal awesomeness!
Listen, listen to the ORIGINAL version, beginning to END.
From the Music Album (2000)
No one's gonna mention how he missed the amazing live performance of this?
Please Dereck, listen to the album version, it's absolutely worthy of the album title Music ( and it is music with a capitol M, and a great trip to get in)
Dereck you MUST react to the Drowned World Tour! By far the most different show that Madonna has done, it included only songs from ROL, MUSIC and BEDTIME STORIES!
You should react this song on tour. Paradise is not for me on the Drowned World Tour
