    Lyrics:
    Zephyr in the sky at night, I wonder
    Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun?
    She's got herself a universe gone quickly
    For the call of thunder threatens everyone
    And I feel like I just got home
    And I feel
    And I feel like I just got home
    And I feel
    Faster than the speeding light she's flying
    Trying to remember where it all began
    She's got herself a little piece of heaven
    Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one
    And I feel like I just got home
    And I feel
    And I feel like I just got home
    And I feel
    Quicker than a ray of light
    Quicker than a ray of light
    Quicker than a ray of light
    Zephyr in the sky at night, I wonder
    Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun?
    She's got herself a universe gone quickly
    For the call of thunder threatens everyone
    And I feel
    Quicker than a ray of light, then gone for
    Someone else will be there
    Through the endless years
    She's got herself a universe
    She's got herself a universe
    She's got herself a universe
    And I feel
    And I feel
    And I feel like I just got home
    And I feel
    Quicker than a ray of light, she's flying
    Quicker than a ray of light, I'm flying

    No one can get it out of my head that this will always be Madonna's best song of all time. Probably the song that most conveys the vibe of the late 90s with this TB-303 synthesizer running wild in the song and giving it a danceable vibe (very typical of electronic music from that time), but at the same time pleasant. This song represents very well the time when society was still discovering globalization in such a raw way, driven by the emergence of new technology called the internet that was spreading and making people's lives and the world around them very accelerated.
    Today, in 2023, we see many of the evils that the Internet can bring to society, but at that time I still believe that people still knew how to use the Internet in a good way, so much so that there was a boom in global economic growth in the early 2000s (even with September 11th...)
    This song literally represents very well the new world that society was entering, which was the 21st century. An increasingly connected and digital world, which if you don't pay attention will see your life go by so quickly without you noticing (Especially for those who lives in a large urban center)
    I'm saddened by the decline in Madonna's musical level since the 2010s until today. Celebration was his last really good single. But if through her present Madonna has not immortalized herself, through her past she has already achieved that.

We as fans have to appreciate her for all the things she has done and the huge impact shes made in this world and pushed change for the better when no one else did. Shes a strong brave,powerful and iconic woman and thats why we love her.

    Dear Madonna: in 2000 I was working my first full time job, changing my first child's diapers, finishing the basement on my first house, and volunteering for the local EMS on nights and weekends. I saw this video on TV and immediately bought the album. That album became a refuge for my sanity the next 2-3 years. Thank you!

      Don't give her credit for something YOU did. Madonna isn't a messiah. She didn't give you money or the strength for your house or baby. You worked for that. You earned it. Her album might've been the soundtrack of your life at that time, but you deserve the credit. Not her.

    An under-appreciated part of this track is William Orbit's lean and uplifting production.
    "While recording, Orbit kept "Ray of Light" a semitone higher than the singer's limit, resulting in a strain added to the vocals. "She got frustrated when we were recording but you want that bit of edge with singers, that thing of reaching. You can't fake it, and you can hear it when she cracks it on the record," he recalled." - Wikipedia article on this track.
    Fantastic. 😃

      I am glad you are discovering this now. I was a teen when she started...there really is a reason she lasted from the end of the Boomers to 4 gens later! Pure genius in her way to reinvent herself and capture everyone along the way!

    This song played occasionally at my fitness center in the mid-2000s. I was dying to know what it was. Then i went to a Cher movie and it was played during one scene! I watched carefully through the credits, saw the title and Madonna, and bought the album right away. I love the whole album.
