This album was released in 1994 ... It´s 2024 and this one sounds like it was produced yesterday ... This is one of my FAV Madonna´s songs ... Way ahead of its time ...
@@damomotono, minion, 3 people wrote it with additional Lyrics by Madonna - without MADONNA this song would have sounded like Sweet Intuition (and its 2 Bjork written lyrics) 😂
actually this song sounds so 90`s, maybe you don`t know about music that`s why you are thinking this sounds fresh but no it doesn`t, its a cool song, yes.
@@Alenimusic this is not your average 90s song at all, it was not the usual 90s sound, it's produced by British producer Nellee Hooper. I'm into electronic music and this stands out. Tell me what other songs sound similar to this, you won't find one.
I saw Madonna live in Toronto last night. It was my first time ever seeing her live and it was an extraordinary experience! The best thing? SHE PERFORMED BEDTIME STORY!!!!
@@filthybonnet Bjork was ONE of the many people who wrote this. And when the totally changed song came to Madonna, she produced it and gave it another totally different twist. Probably the original song written by Bjork is, like, 5% of Madonna's.
@Sebastiano 5%? that's not even true lmao. Bjork wrote and produced this whole song with Nelle Hopper originallly for her debut album. Song is called Violently Happy. Madonna just sampled it years later. That's not 5% at all.
I remember when I saw this video for the first time on VH1 back in 2008, I was literally left with my mouth open. It was the best audiovisual experience of my life and it subsequently influenced me greatly in my work.
It was a different era. Madge was queen and the world was okay, andthe things that werent felt like there was a chance things would get even better, and now look where we are. I wish i couldve just stayed in these few years for the rest of my life. Her album bedtime story was ICONIC and, 🎼somethings coming overrrrr meeeeee.... MY BABY'S GOTTA SECRET!!!!🫶🏽
this song is so insanely good and the music video is so bizarre and beautiful. you can definitely tell bjork was behind it in some way. its so hypnotic and brings me to another world i wish i could stay in forever. bedtime stories is by far my fave madonna album, its too underrated. the 90s produced some of the most awesome music of all time.
@@MirandaAdriaYT im not crediting her for the direction and artistry of the video. bjork came up with the lyrics to the song. (even though madonna changed it up) and her producer worked with madonna a lot on this album.
Or even just in HD but having a PROPER REMASTER and not just pushing the 480p file to fake HD. They need to collect the original 35mm negatives from each video, re scan them in 4K and correct scratches and color.
The start of a long relationship between the Queen of Pop and electronic music. William Orbit made a remix for this track that was used years later on a Re-Invention tour backdrop.
This music video is one of the 3 most expensive ever made, with a budget of US$5 million. It is currently on permanent exhibited at the NYC Museum of Modern Art (MoMa), due to its quality and exuberant references to surrealism art
Even now in 2022, this song is avant garde. Imagine back in 1995! I watch with the same admiration still now this video, 27 years after... Classic in every aspect. Only queen of pop, Madonna can make such masterpieces!
And I never cease to wonder how you can be the "queen of music" WITHOUT VOICE at all? She is probably the only American singer without a voice. Marilyn Monroe sings better and more interestingly, although he was not read "for the singer". Madonna uses sexual overtones in everything, sticking out and exaggerating it to horror everywhere, on this "HER saint" and holds on
@@ledimiledi-gs2xo2iz5n She was one of the best voices in 80s and 90s. And she could change her voice from year to year. A sexy strong high tone girlish voice in Like a virgin 1984 that sounded eurodisco to heavy bass low tone more pop style in Papa dont preach , only 2 years later. And furthermore she has the best voice comparing to new singers from 2000s til now.
@@ledimiledi-gs2xo2iz5n who cares? it's not just about voice, it's about concept and art. madonna has reinvented herself over and over and over again, and always stood ahead of the curve until hard candy (2008)
Madonna’s team can you please reupload this masterpiece video in HD with real 16:9 screen ratio! Madonna’s videos deserves the highest quality, c’mon! 🙏
@@melhatch6955 some 80s videos have been remastered to 4K and even some SD videos in the 00s have been remastered to HD. Madonna is a big artist so it would be wise for her team to get someone to remaster all her videography.
Rey Benkos I totally agree. She Björk and Madonna would be an amazing collaboration especially on her new album Utopia conceptually reminds me of Ray of Light with the themes of spirituality. I love it. Madonna doing a trip hop, postmodern, avant garde electronia, ambient, idm, psychedelic, psytrance, pbrnb, type album would be cool. Ray of Light was like Madonna's Dark Side of The Moon, or Kid A, or Sargeant Peppers. Her doing a collaboration with current artists who are in experimental music would be great: Thom Yorke - Everything In its Right Place, James Blake - Wilhelm Scream, Kanye, FKA - Twigs, Aphex Twin - Ambient album, Arca, Anthony Keidis, Frank Ocean, Massive Attack - Teardrop, Portishead - Glory Box, Kaskade & Deadmau5, she could even do a Kabbalistic inspired tune with Matisyahu or a Hindu tune with Anushka Shankar in Sitar. It would be so cool to see Madonna have some drone music or Post-Rock collaboration with Sígur Ros, maybe a collaboration with Cinematic Orchestra, or even Electrosynthpop AltRnb with Little Dragon, or an ambient rap with Drake. Maybe she could even do Sufi Music and collaborate with Scott Matthews, or do something so unusual. There are so many intriguing musical journeys she could take! And modern day singers like Beyonce who have become more experimental, and Sia who was in Zero 7 and performed ambient chillout music like Destiny. Waiting for the next creative experiment from Madonna!
Rey Benkos I just read an interview from Pitchfork with Madonna, and she said she's really inspired by music outside the pop realm like James Blake. 'To be honest, pop music isn’t exciting me too much right now. I mean, do you consider James Blake pop music? I love his music, some of his songs just kill me. He’s a great songwriter. It’s the kind of thing that makes me jealous, like, “Oh! I wish I’d made that" This is promising, Madonna may be entering a new phase of musical experimentation!
She would never go backwards. She only moves in one direction. Wherever she hasn't been unless it involves a current trend. However I would love to see her work with Bjork again.
TURNED 30 YEARS. How many music videos and works of art have been able to achieve the relevance and spirit necessary to remain relevant today, thirty years later.
@@adale2771 because out of all of her albums it is probably the least discussed today lmao, even less talked about than "bad" albums like MDNA. it doesn't matter what awards it got at the time. random comparison but kinda like 3 by Britney Spears?? it went to #1 but nowadays it's a forgotten song.
This track is an example of how Madonna has always been at the tip of the iceberg for dance music. bedtime stories is a high quality album, very eclectic, it has ballads, R&B hip hop, dance music. I think Madonna's most creative time was the nineties. 
The meaning behind this song (humans being suppressed, enlightenment, giving birth to peace, the crone's hat, etc) most people don't even know, the fact that Madonna agreed with Bjork in this message is amazing, and what a message it was, in such a beautiful production of harmony and sounds, not to mention the stunning visuals to reinforce the message. Probably the biggest under-rated song in history when it comes to production and lyrical content. I will never skip this song, or stop listening to it.
What made me a fan of Madonna is her versatility and the diversity in her catalogue, it's so crazy to think that the same artist of this video is the same of like a virgin and material girl. It seems that nowadays most artists don't take risks and stick to one particular style.
Surrealist art. 1:43 Leonora Fini - The ends of the Earth (1948) 2:20 Remedios Varos - Los amantes (1963) 2:37 Leonora Carrington - The Giantess (1947) 3:03 Remedios Varos - La Llamada (1961) 3:41 Leonora Fini - L' amitié (1958) 4:05 Frida Kahlo - Diego y Yo (1949)
and several scenes are inspired by the movie "the color of the pomegranate" the same ones that lady gaga is using today for her 911 video, Madonna did it 25 years ago 👏👏👏👏
Žalosno je da su danas svi fokusirani na njen izgled, pomalo i njenom krivnjom, ali kad prođem kroz sve njene albume i pjesme mogu samo rec; Poštovanje !!!
Gustavo Cano Video has nothing to do with Björk ¬¬ It was completely inspired by all the female surrealist painters like Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. There’s a little bit of Frida Kahlo in there, too.
Alex J Obviously the visuals are also inspired by the song itself, which was written by Bjork, Nellee Hooper, and Marius Devries. The director is the greatest creative force in the video, however, not Madonna, who is only singing and acting here, and he is clearly drawing from the world of surrealist painting (which is all about the unconscious mind and its imagery).
0MirrorGirl Wrong. Madonna is on record as being the principal ideas person for this. She owned and may still possibly own several of these women surrealist painters' works from which she drew inspiration. She talks at length about which particular paintings fired up her imagination. Give the lady her props. Probably asking too much...
The beginning of Madonna's brilliant foray into electronica. The video is a work of art, and the Orbital remix is one of the best remix of a Madonna song ever done.
@@alessiobiagi6154 lol you think Madonna has the title Queen of pop because of Bjork? That’s a joke right. She worked with her for one song. This isn’t even top 10 Madonna song for me. She did way better work without Bjork, she doesn’t need Bjork to make good music 😂
@@b.b.4010 can you read? I was talking about the song, answering the message. I never said Madonna is the Queen of pop because of Bjork!!! By the way, their levels of art complexity are uncomparable...
One of the most expensive videos ever made. A true icon and visual master go madonna. This song was a hint of the electronic sound that was to come for Ray of Light and bjork cowrote it cool beans
Guys don't be so negative, this video is an homage of those iconic paintings and Russian surrealist films. You have to show respect to the director and Madonna herself for paying an homage to it. This music video is pure high art that's why i loved it very much because i like the whole imagery comes to life. They don't make music video like this anymore i think you should be thankful that this video existed. As a Pablo Picasso, Leonora Carrington, Frida Kahlo and Sergei Parajanov fan i'm happy that this video came out. Please no negative comments. 🙂 🙂
This is such an underrated gem. I wish more people knew about it. The music video alone is worth a listen or watch. Feels like your in a dream or nightmare depending on your mindset. Love it!
This is Madonna at the forefront of music. Intersection of poetry, art, design, storytelling, and cinematography. What she gets up to nowadays feels entirely uninspired in comparison.
I am finding it hard to believe this song has not had the f***ing gazillion amount of Like it deserves - what a song overall - truly a masterpiece. Thanks so much for sharing!
Esto no es HD, es el archivo 480p forzado hasta que fuese HD, esto no es una remasterización. Tendrían que haber remasterizado los negativos originales en HD o 4K como Las Christmas, Freedom o Missionary Man. Porque estas "versiones HD" de Madonna son una chapuza, encima con unos videoclips increíbles.
I know Madonna will forever be loved for her pop hits of the 80's such as Like A Virgin, Lucky Star, Get Into The Groove, Open Your Heart, etc...I personally find her 90's period to be the most intriguing. This song and video has to be one of the best things Madonna has ever done. Pure art.
Same here! Incredible visuals...reminds me of the movie the Cell with Vince Vaugh and JLO. The song is underrated also composed by BJORK, which I didn't realize! A true gem
@@villamedj3533 one more noname who says Bjork or her art is overrated? Not surprised at all. You can't even read comments properly btw, cuz it was not the point of mine. Check it twice maybe it will help you dummy 😂😂😂
the combo of Bjork's lyrics, Madonna's artistic vision and Nellee Hoopers production. I think this is one of Madonna's best videos and it went under the radar xx
Bjork only wrote 2 lyrics! TWO LYRICS! You guys giving credit to Bjork when she wrote 2 lyrics TWO?!!! Really!?? There are 3 people who wrote this song with additional Lyrics from Madonna!! Get it right!!!
@@DeuDeoEgo No Björk wrote the demo that was reworked by Nellee Hooper and Marius de Vries to give a Madonna feel. But most of the lyrics were Björk's. What you're talking about is Sweet Intuition, a song that she wrote after based on Bedtime Story. Get it right!!!
All of these beautiful songs hundreds of them will be hitting millions of views when she passes.. so many people have never heard all of her variety -who cares about her age and luxe. She’s an artist and an icon.💋
Probably not on her most popular songs, but this video surely is one her most stunning ones. The imagery and the whole atmosphere, plus with the music make it hypnotic.
I will admit I have overlooked Madonna for many years, it's only now going through her back catalogue you can truly see how much her ideas have been ripped off by people today.
@misa95 (Gaga's little monster ♥) OMG thank you so much, you just basically called us iconic! And unlike you, I don't need to stalk Gaga's music videos and trash her to lift my fave. Gaga would be disown you as a fan 😭😂
the mere fact that she collaborated with Björk is amazing to me. Can't think of any other mainstream artist that has. Maybe Thom Yorke, but otherwise a very out of the box collaboration for Madonna, and this is one reason she is the greatest pop female artist of all time
Actually for this song madonna asked Marius de Vrie to write/produce a song and Marius de Vrie asked his friend Bjork to co-write with him. What she did! Actually she didn't meet madonna at the time and did it more as a favor to Marius de Vrie than Madonna.
Bjork did the song as a favor to the guy who worked with Madonna she didn't actually do it with Madonna or for her. She says I'm a m interview that she's not a fan of her or her music.
It's not HD. They need PROPER REMASTERS and not just pushing the 480p file to fake HD. They need to collect the original 35mm negatives from each video, re scan them in 4K and correct scratches and color.
I was 16 when this song & the album came out. I went out and bought the CD, I must’ve played it countless times. It literally defined my high school years. Every time I hear this song now, it takes me back to that time.
I was 18 yrs old when This video was released..! Bought the tremendous album several years later in Brasil ( think it was 2004)! Greetings from Norway 🇧🇻
“Why can’t I be number one?!” joked Madonna to MTV’s Kurt Loder about Bedtime Stories charting at # 3 in the US. Fast forward 26 yrs later and the album Bedtime Stories reaches #1 on the iTunes US overall albums chart.
I didn't like this song at all when I was younger. However, now I absolutely love it. The production, the mood it invokes, the way it evolves, and how Madonna really used her voice in a unique way to bring this song to another level is really otherworldly.
Most of the comments are about they love Madonna and Björk, this song is art, the video is stunning and it's ahead of its time, Madonna has sold more than 400 million albums and she is the greatest female artist of all time, she is the Queen of the 90's, this song is ahead of its time ❤❤❤❤❤
Gifty Zanesuag are you her PR agent? 🥰Yes, we are aware of her success. Be careful of “success or fame” clouding your judgement and ability to critique art/music/film. Why do you like this video? Why is it ahead of its time? And what references in art history can you tie to it’s production?
What a very genius singer and smart Madonna is a professional in choosing the right things for her. This is art, this legend. I am really amazed at how I wasted years not listening to Madonna and seeing her works
It's not just about "choosing" things for herself, but her OWN artistic talent that is the most important thing to be given the deserving credit. Madonna is not Madonna the legend that she is without the singing, dancing, songwriting and producing, and her vision tied everything together cohesively. This particular song was written by Björk but Madonna herself is the mastermind behind the whole Bedtime Stories album - other albums of hers as well, of course.
This album was released in 1994 ... It´s 2024 and this one sounds like it was produced yesterday ... This is one of my FAV Madonna´s songs ... Way ahead of its time ...

@Bazı insanları hiç anlamıyorum we stan an anti is lam Queen yes !!
It's today now
this is a masterpiece ahead of time, revolutionary and amazingly perfect.
ahead of time? she just copied björk

Google it idiot 😁😁😁
@@arthurdent4509 bjork gave madonna this song lol
@@arthurdent4509 are you dense
people forget how brilliant and creative she is. This video is wild!
The meaning behind this song (humans being suppressed, enlightenment, giving birth to peace, the crone's hat, etc) most people don't even know, the fact that Madonna agreed with Bjork in this message is amazing, and what a message it was, in such a beautiful production of harmony and sounds, not to mention the stunning visuals to reinforce the message. Probably the biggest under-rated song in history when it comes to production and lyrical content. I will never skip this song, or stop listening to it.
I don't see human being suppressed, it's a dream like state she's describing, I see opium, trance and death.
when the vibrato in the "lets get unconscious honey starts to layers in. Angel gets it's wings.
What made me a fan of Madonna is her versatility and the diversity in her catalogue, it's so crazy to think that the same artist of this video is the same of like a virgin and material girl.
It seems that nowadays most artists don't take risks and stick to one particular style.
Surrealist art.

Wow thank you so much for these references! That made me appreciate the video a lot more.
and several scenes are inspired by the movie "the color of the pomegranate" the same ones that lady gaga is using today for her 911 video, Madonna did it 25 years ago 👏👏👏👏
@@MrJirafa79 Yes. And I think 911 also took notes from Madonna's 2019 Medellin and Dark Ballet music videos
I love it since the 90‘, but didn't know the references! since now! thx a lot for sharing!
the video is directed by Marc Romanek and is permanently displayed at the museum of modern art in new york city.
This video feels like going through a museum!!! This is probably her most underrated song and video ever.
Žalosno je da su danas svi fokusirani na njen izgled, pomalo i njenom krivnjom, ali kad prođem kroz sve njene albume i pjesme mogu samo rec; Poštovanje !!!
@@valentinavrhovec1124 Madonna
The weirdest but yet satisfying video I've ever seen from Madonna's videography ❤
Not weird but surrealistic...
ART and POP in one video.
This is the real ARTPOP !! Long live to #Björk and #Madonna !
Gustavo Cano Ew Bjork>Madonna
Gustavo Cano Video has nothing to do with Björk ¬¬
It was completely inspired by all the female surrealist painters like Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. There’s a little bit of Frida Kahlo in there, too.
Alex J Obviously the visuals are also inspired by the song itself, which was written by Bjork, Nellee Hooper, and Marius Devries. The director is the greatest creative force in the video, however, not Madonna, who is only singing and acting here, and he is clearly drawing from the world of surrealist painting (which is all about the unconscious mind and its imagery).
0MirrorGirl Wrong. Madonna is on record as being the principal ideas person for this. She owned and may still possibly own several of these women surrealist painters' works from which she drew inspiration. She talks at length about which particular paintings fired up her imagination. Give the lady her props. Probably asking too much...
The beginning of Madonna's brilliant foray into electronica.
The video is a work of art, and the Orbital remix is one of the best remix of a Madonna song ever done.
@misa95 (Gaga's little monster ♥)lol and this came from a fan of a reductive Millenial artist
Thanks to Björk...
@misa95 (Gaga's little monster ♥) no?
@@alessiobiagi6154 lol you think Madonna has the title Queen of pop because of Bjork? That’s a joke right. She worked with her for one song. This isn’t even top 10 Madonna song for me. She did way better work without Bjork, she doesn’t need Bjork to make good music 😂
@@b.b.4010 can you read? I was talking about the song, answering the message. I never said Madonna is the Queen of pop because of Bjork!!!
By the way, their levels of art complexity are uncomparable...

well, she borrowed the beat from Violently Happy. they didn't do this together.
This song was written BY Bjork for Madonna.
This piece is genius, never gets old
One of the most expensive videos ever made. A true icon and visual master go madonna. This song was a hint of the electronic sound that was to come for Ray of Light and bjork cowrote it cool beans
A visual master was Paradjanov and Tarkovski.
jay2luv well we all love cool beans
@DemolishiaXIII ... Bullshit, this video is a plagiarism of Paradjanov and Tarkovski.
Guys don't be so negative, this video is an homage of those iconic paintings and Russian surrealist films. You have to show respect to the director and Madonna herself for paying an homage to it. This music video is pure high art that's why i loved it very much because i like the whole imagery comes to life. They don't make music video like this anymore i think you should be thankful that this video existed. As a Pablo Picasso, Leonora Carrington, Frida Kahlo and Sergei Parajanov fan i'm happy that this video came out. Please no negative comments. 🙂 🙂
Your absolutely right! Because music video now a days are twerking, showing legs and ass and graphic nudity.
This is such an underrated gem. I wish more people knew about it. The music video alone is worth a listen or watch. Feels like your in a dream or nightmare depending on your mindset. Love it!
I think it's crazy how this 20+ year old video still looks as crisp and timeless as if it came out yesterday...
+Pete Flores thanks to bjork talent...any song written by bjork 20 years ago sounds like it was written yesterday, and it will be like that for years.
+SK8City forever
SK8City I agree, Bjork's Homogenic album still sounds futuristic to this very day and would still be groundbreaking if it was just relased now.
+Pete Flores -TRUE
Madonna Videos are always ahead of time.
This is Madonna at the forefront of music. Intersection of poetry, art, design, storytelling, and cinematography. What she gets up to nowadays feels entirely uninspired in comparison.
I listened to my girl in the 80s like every other girl
I'm 61yr now. She's still my girl ❤❤❤
😍
Hermoso mensaje❤
Isso foi em 95
We need all her videos remastered. She is the Queen of this art form and of music of course.
the credit of for the directors, she just have money to hire them.
This is totally a Bjork song that she just bought. And the video is the work of the director. Feels like a Tarsem Singh ripoff, though.
Bjork wrote this for her
@@coomara9 I was talking about the video not the song
@@coomara9 Co-wrote
Arguably the most brilliant music video ever made.

HAPPY 30TH BEDTIME STORIES, THIS ALBUM IS ALWAYS A MASTERPIECE
I am finding it hard to believe this song has not had the f***ing gazillion amount of Like it deserves - what a song overall - truly a masterpiece. Thanks so much for sharing!
Truly underrated! Hopefully it’ll get the attention it deserves sometime in the future.
This song is mesmerizing
Ver esto en HD es como un ORGASMO, simplemente te amamos Madonna, y urge que el próximo video sea Frozen!
Quiero Frozen en HD😭❤️
Sii Frozen en HD!!
Lo mismo opino.
Esto no es HD, es el archivo 480p forzado hasta que fuese HD, esto no es una remasterización. Tendrían que haber remasterizado los negativos originales en HD o 4K como Las Christmas, Freedom o Missionary Man. Porque estas "versiones HD" de Madonna son una chapuza, encima con unos videoclips increíbles.
Yo muero por ver Human Nature en HD :c
A Genuine Masterpiece.
Madonna FOREVER❤
Two Iconic Artists..many we have lost too soon... glorify iconic #madonna & #bjork
Great sound system required!
this is what you call a music video. it's very fun, artistic and creative. we don't see videos like this anymore.
***** Plus the song is great.
***** The video is influenced by the soviet Georgian film The color of pomegranates :P
***** Yeah back when MTV and VH1 actually cared about music videos and played them. No wonder we don't see videos like this anymore.
***** gaga is amazing.
Yeah I like it. Do you know what it means? Explain if you can.
Now that how a music video should be art
Bjork, Madonna and Mark Romanek are pure genius... Couldn't have said it better. As she told us in this song: words are meaningless...
“Bedtime Story” by Madonna. At a cost of $5,000,000 million, ranking at number 4 as the most expensive music video ever made
It deserved a Grammy and Oscar for the visuals and direction.
This is insane, they most of blown a lot on editing and set design woooooow
5 million of 1994 is now 8.6 million !!!
Really ?
i love madge but that could of fed a lot of people
I know Madonna will forever be loved for her pop hits of the 80's such as Like A Virgin, Lucky Star, Get Into The Groove, Open Your Heart, etc...I personally find her 90's period to be the most intriguing. This song and video has to be one of the best things Madonna has ever done. Pure art.
I love the 90s era as well. Look at the diversity of Erotica, Bedtime Stories, Evita and Ray of Light.
Ronald Rodriguez agreed
More intriguing experimental
Can we all thank Björk for this amazing song damn
amém
America was not prepared for this during its release but the Metropolitan Museum of Art is.
Who is listening to this 🔥🔥🔥 song in 2019!!! She looks so amazing!!! 💗
Me
Same here! Incredible visuals...reminds me of the movie the Cell with Vince Vaugh and JLO. The song is underrated also composed by BJORK, which I didn't realize! A true gem
I’ve loved loved loved this song ever since it came out in 1994, and still love it just as if it came out today

Lol. She is cursed
@@villamedj3533 one more noname who says Bjork or her art is overrated? Not surprised at all. You can't even read comments properly btw, cuz it was not the point of mine. Check it twice maybe it will help you dummy 😂😂😂
One of my all time favorites
Has anyone visited the MOMA because of this avant-garde video?
This video...the references, the sufi dancers, the surrealism..oh Madonna, there will never be one like you.
Согласна, показала религию и что на самом деле происходит в мире...
the combo of Bjork's lyrics, Madonna's artistic vision and Nellee Hoopers production. I think this is one of Madonna's best videos and it went under the radar xx
it was so ahead of it's time - Bedtime Stories was a great album :))
Bjork only wrote 2 lyrics! TWO LYRICS! You guys giving credit to Bjork when she wrote 2 lyrics TWO?!!! Really!?? There are 3 people who wrote this song with additional Lyrics from Madonna!! Get it right!!!
@@DeuDeoEgo No Björk wrote the demo that was reworked by Nellee Hooper and Marius de Vries to give a Madonna feel. But most of the lyrics were Björk's. What you're talking about is Sweet Intuition, a song that she wrote after based on Bedtime Story. Get it right!!!
All of these beautiful songs hundreds of them will be hitting millions of views when she passes.. so many people have never heard all of her variety -who cares about her age and luxe. She’s an artist and an icon.💋
Probably not on her most popular songs, but this video surely is one her most stunning ones. The imagery and the whole atmosphere, plus with the music make it hypnotic.
I will admit I have overlooked Madonna for many years, it's only now going through her back catalogue you can truly see how much her ideas have been ripped off by people today.
me too i have overlooked her for so many years it's only this year that i have got in to her music

First time I watched this music video I was too young to understand how incredibly and magical this work is. Thank God I was blessed with maturity.
Madonna is at her best when she's doing high artistry, like this lovely track.
she didn't write this one, Bjork did
@@dobredobre5054Learn. 😉 Colaborated is the difference.
@@dobredobre5054bjork co wrote it, and high artistry can include the production and visuals
Underrated gem
This is the best audiovisual production of history. Thank you, Madonna.
Mark Romanek, 2!!
the mere fact that she collaborated with Björk is amazing to me. Can't think of any other mainstream artist that has. Maybe Thom Yorke, but otherwise a very out of the box collaboration for Madonna, and this is one reason she is the greatest pop female artist of all time
this somehow doesn't make sense!? and Björk wrote the song for the producer and he gave it madonna & then madonna also wanted to take björks aestetic!
Actually for this song madonna asked Marius de Vrie to write/produce a song and Marius de Vrie asked his friend Bjork to co-write with him. What she did! Actually she didn't meet madonna at the time and did it more as a favor to Marius de Vrie than Madonna.
Madonna's work with Massive Attack is great as well.
Bjork did the song as a favor to the guy who worked with Madonna she didn't actually do it with Madonna or for her. She says I'm a m interview that she's not a fan of her or her music.
But I still love her and Madonna equally they are both beautiful artists
Watching this in HD is something from another world!
Madonna is Madonna. True Artist
A MASTERPIECE !!!
IN 2023 WE DON'T HAVE SIMILAR MV😯
THANK YOU MADONNA FOR BEING AMAZING 👏 ❤️

Amazing Madonna. This video is much better and extremely creative than any other music videos in 2022. I love Madonna ❤️
Yes!

FINALLY IT'S HD NOW
It's not HD. They need PROPER REMASTERS and not just pushing the 480p file to fake HD. They need to collect the original 35mm negatives from each video, re scan them in 4K and correct scratches and color.
I was 16 when this song & the album came out. I went out and bought the CD, I must’ve played it countless times. It literally defined my high school years. Every time I hear this song now, it takes me back to that time.
I was 18 yrs old when This video was released..! Bought the tremendous album several years later in Brasil ( think it was 2004)! Greetings from Norway 🇧🇻
Absolutely love all tracks from Bedtime Stories and it makes me miss the era that I didn’t live in. I was born in 1995 😬
95 was a fun year.
Oh my 95 was the year I graduated high school and Madonna was EVERYTHING ❤
I started grade 9 high school that year. It was a much better more carefree time back then!
She is a music wanderer. Her musical landscape is unmatched. That's her legacy!
#JusticeForBedtimeStories ! The album is currently #1 in the USA and #2 in CANADA!
“Why can’t I be number one?!” joked Madonna to MTV’s Kurt Loder about Bedtime Stories charting at # 3 in the US.
Fast forward 26 yrs later and the album Bedtime Stories reaches #1 on the iTunes US overall albums chart.

I didn't like this song at all when I was younger. However, now I absolutely love it. The production, the mood it invokes, the way it evolves, and how Madonna really used her voice in a unique way to bring this song to another level is really otherworldly.
SDoesNotKnow The song is about death - illuminati.
Most of the comments are about they love Madonna and Björk, this song is art, the video is stunning and it's ahead of its time, Madonna has sold more than 400 million albums and she is the greatest female artist of all time, she is the Queen of the 90's, this song is ahead of its time ❤❤❤❤❤

Be careful of “success or fame” clouding your judgement and ability to critique art/music/film.

What a very genius singer and smart Madonna is a professional in choosing the right things for her. This is art, this legend. I am really amazed at how I wasted years not listening to Madonna and seeing her works
It's not just about "choosing" things for herself, but her OWN artistic talent that is the most important thing to be given the deserving credit. Madonna is not Madonna the legend that she is without the singing, dancing, songwriting and producing, and her vision tied everything together cohesively. This particular song was written by Björk but Madonna herself is the mastermind behind the whole Bedtime Stories album - other albums of hers as well, of course.
