I love how even Madonna's backdrops have more substance, style, cinematography, message and artistic quality than majority of the general music videos! She is truly the champion of visual formats.

This woman is a true artist.

Madonna looks badass on kimono very magical vibes love it & mysterious I love these performances by her so beautiful

The best, the saddest and the most emotional ballad about leaving...

Today I was reading about people’s opinion about Madonna’s career in comparison to other singers like Gaga, Mariah etc ... none of these singers( they may be better vocalists) but the vision, the artistry , the music , the depth of the songs you can’t compare ... Madonna is really ahead of her time and her work is timeless ...

People will always focus on Bitch I'm Madonna. They will never know about this work of art. This is easily her second best non-single, along with Skin from ROL. So underrated, and so sad that it was forgotten. This is our little secret now.

very talented ... perhaps one of greatest artist

I can't get enough of this gem! Nobody can do it like Madonna!!!!!

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. The lyrics, the sound, the music, the video.... everything is such a perfection. ❤️

the confessions tour version makes me cry

Creativity, artistry!!! The timeless visionary woman Madonna is and has been all this 4 decades is something irreplaceable! Is sad people forget who this woman is sometimes, what she represents and what she has done! Proud to live in the same era than Madonna!

Ive been so high , Ive been so down up to the skies down to the ground! I love that metaphor

This song proves that Madonna is one of the greatest artists this word has ever seen! Excellent song & video clip!

I think this song is about dying. Getting old and 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. They will remember who she was. And the whole video is a death ceremony. She’s getting dressed with her best kimono and helped by her assistants, while two warriors represent the fight between life and death. And then she performs her last dance and after that she has her “death walk” while 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 of the door and the doors closes behind her. She’s on her own now. Because we all die alone. 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. And at the very end we see a dead tree. It’s a cherry tree, which is the symbol of the “tree of life” in Japanese culture. When she performed this song live 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, up to the sky, returning her to the source of life. Now, in the Drowned World tour this video was shown as a backdrop video while on stage there were dancers coming out of cocoons, representing death as a form of birth.

Everytime Madonna uses Japanese culture as a theme in her videos, they always become hits. I guess the creative talent of Madonna the Queen herself and the mystique of Japanese culture make a wonderful and successful combination. 😉

This is a masterpiece 🌟

This is such a sophisticated production with expansive depth. Pure art. I know not all fans enjoyed it in a concert environment, especially after an 8-year tour absence, but I absolutely loved seeing it live! Bravo!!

The most romantic and elegant artist of all time

A True Masterpiece of Art👌

This is the most beautiful Electronica song i have ever heard.

Even her background videos are better than most 'pop' videos today! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN 👑👑👑

Masterpiece! The sound that Mirwais and Madonna made on both Music and American Life was way ahead of its time.

This interlude is a masterpiece!

This song brought me to my knees in the darkest and saddest moments of my young life, but it also helped me pull through and never give up. Gracias, Madonna!

This song is so beautiful and it portrays the way I feel at times Madonna has a song for every emotion of mine.

Madonna deserves all the praise . She should be celebrated and given a throne to sit on. A true artist and Queen of her craft. No one comes close. Even now!!! They're all wannabes.

guys... this is a masterpiece

Hard to believe this was only meant as a tour backdrop in the beginning. I was in Drowned World Tour concert in Berlin, the crowd went ballistic over it.

This is an audiovisual perfection for me. This blow my mind. This song puts Madonna in heaven!! This song never gets old!

Underrated gem... still great in 2021.

The Drowned World Tour was the first time I ever saw Madonna live and my absolute favorite tour of hers! It was a religious experience!

My god.. I love her abstract stuff!

Only Madonna can create such a masterpiece. No other female singer can or could come close to this.

I love how Ray Of Light ERA and Music ERA were so connected... Kimonos, Introspective Lyrics, Orbit and Mirwais, Beautiful Stranger and American Pie as bridge of both, Drown World Tour. My favorite years of Madonna.

🇺🇲 American Singer 🇯🇵 Japanese Culture 🇫🇷 Verses in French There's Only One Queen and That's Madonna. 😘 Paradise (Not For Me) I can't remember When I was young I can't explain If it was wrong My life goes on But not the same Into your eyes My face remains (I've been so high) I've been so down (Up to the skies) Down to the ground I was so blind I could not see Your paradise Is not for me Autour de moi Je ne vois pas Qui sont des anges Sûrement pas moi Encore une fois Je suis cassée Encore une fois Je ne crois pas I've been so high I've been so down Up to the skies Down to the ground There is a light above my head Into your eyes my face remains.

a masterpiece, both video and song, should have been a single, the best song from the Music album IMO

A true masterpiece! Please release all other backdrop videos from Madonna’s wondrous tours.

i love this song, 7years now.

This album is a pure masterpiece.

Years go by, and it is still a masterpiece, a very deep song, one of the best!

A masterpiece musically, lyrically and visually too.

These visuals are simply stunning, she's a genius, no doubt...

I’m today years old finding out this exists and I love it❤❤❤

Madonna is above and beyond forever

FINALLY! MY FAVORITE MADONNA SONG EVER

17 Años después, suena aún más cautivador. Hay un gesto desafiante en volcar a hacia luz lo creado con anterioridad en este tiempo presente de música descartable. Loable. Love it,

This is the video and song that solidified my love for Madonna

Conocí ésta canción en noviembre del año 2000. Desde ahí ya sabía que Madonna estaba a otro nivel muy superior a cualquier cantante/artista! Saludos desde Guadalajara 🇲🇽❤️

Conocía la canción pero nunca había visto el clip. Impecable hasta el último detalle La canción es magnífica.

Man I can't tell you how much I love this song....this should have been on a video collection. 🙏

One of my top 5 Madonna songs of all time

A work of art.

720!!! Finally good quality! For 17 years I've been waiting for this video to be officially released. And it's out! Hallelujah!

Beautifully made video. Madonna is queen of video, song, art.. She's always impressed with her music. Madonna is one and only.

This is so magnetizing and chill, and I love it so much

Great lyrics, powerful song 💜

One of my absolute favorite song ,,, ❤️

Masterpiece.

Masterpiece. One of the finest tracks on 'Music'.

Grandiosa! Gracias for all these years of grandious wisdom and incomparable songs. You're not human...you can't be! So much poetry and wisdom in your music.

Beautiful music video. What a passion and creativity. I miss the time Madonna used to be more in the music scene .

Madonna has always been right on the money with her musical creations, and this closing ballad from MUSIC is no exception. I am one of the many fans who have been there since day one with Burning Up on MTV and Everybody and Holiday on the radio. Madonna has always brought us these wonderfully complete stories with each album delivered. The only way to experience the true masterpieces that they are is to listen to them in their entirety. They take us on a journey and give us a glimpse into Madonna and her life at the time. For me, they have been and continue to be the soundtrack of my life. No other artist has ever impacted me so deeply, affected my sentiments so continually and never has Madonna failed to put her finger right on the pulse of the key to her original success by bringing us fun and frisky music with a great message. Yes, life may suck sometimes, but so do blow jobs! So make the choice to smile and get up and dance. Do what Her Magesty prescribes and it will give you the most important of all messages or medications: hope. Long Live the Queen!

I love this song . Drowned World Tour❤

Reminds me "nothing really matter" video. Like this.

This video and madonna's artistic expression is quite amazing, really. No words to describe.

This is EVERYTHING!

I will never ever forget seeing this video playing during the Drowned World Tour in Boston in 2001. This will forever be my favorite concert ever.

I have to say as a fan of Madonna since 1983, that her music videos over the years have shown how much of an actress of ability Madonna truly is, as in her music videos Madonna's character actress persona comes out and illuminates the Video Screen with Women of Many Kind, Images, as I call them. As a young Madonna, she was very emotive and loud, yet silky and smooth at the same time, while as the more mature Madonna she has become unpredictable as to how she might dress or, at times as we all can, try to act as if much younger in years.

One of my favorite videos of all time. It is so chilling to listen to. ❤ I hope she performs this song once again.

love this song, love this video, years and years waiting for this video

powerfull art...Ave Madonna

Everything changes, but Madonna is always good

And here we are. !!! Amazing.

Wish it was released as single!!! a masterpiece

Masterpiece. It should have been a single.

I cant belive it. It,s been 20 years

Masterpiece

Oh Madonna...always relevant, always fresh, forever curious and youthful in outlook and vision. Thank you for continuing to share your art with us. Your children are so lucky to have such a kickass mom.

I am listening this song now, it's very beautiful today

Amazing ... contemporary art ... timeless MADONNA ... and Lyrics are a poem

MADONNA THE QUEEN OF THE QUEENS

Thoroughly captivating. Awesome music video!

Good quality, Excellent art, Fabulous Madonna!

Unbelievable that Madonna uploaded these videos, your fans want more backdrops and the missing videos: Miles Away, Music Montage version, American Life uncensored, remix videos and backdrops PLEASE !!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

2023, April.. reminiscing about current tragedy.. this song brought me back to a time when life presented less struggles...

True artist. Queen of Pop !!!!

Deep. Seeing the 'good' and the bad. None of us can claim we are good. Who are we comparing ourselves to.

I'll never get over this. This reminds me that music can be much more than music. It can be Art.

When I am really sad and really down I listen to this song to know what about life is: up to the skies, down to the ground.

when the orchestra gets louder it gives me chills. such a big mellow song!

I love this. I tho' this was recent. Omg.

This my favorite track on the album . I still remember my 14 year old self listening this song for the first time . Time flies ...

I'm in tears, what a masterpiece, I was 5 years old when I first saw this

this song makes me cry

What a masterpiece! I’ll never stop loving it! She’s a genius! ❤️

Fascinating... One of my favorite Madonna' s song ❤

Great song. All Madonna songs are unique and real. Madonna you are beautiful your fans love U. I have been listening to Madonna since I was Seven years old. She is my favorite artist I just love her style and take on this Universe of ours.
