I convince myself Take A Bow is just pleasant and nothing more...but it's really quite sumptuous isn't it? Like falling down into a cool, fluffy bed. And then the lyrics themselves are quietly devastating. It's possibly the least cool thing on the album... but it's so sweeping I find myself getting caught up in it. It's the instrumentation I think. The video..!
Sean.... Sean... (maybe the most genuine moment in you-know-what)
Love that Bedtime Stories is getting some well deserved attention. It’s suitably sophisticated and groovy, like a 90s pop equivalent of a 70s soul record.
Madonna made the news today, as she’s working on the Covid situation. Nature is healing, Madame X is the virus.

I swear, when Madonna comes up in the news these last few weeks it's a roller coaster ride of "Oh, that's great!" and "I - uh - oh. Uh, okay..."
Same here. It's my favorite Madonna album and one of my all time favorites. A real masterpiece.
It's amusing that poor journalists are sifting through her instagram videos for stories when we, the fans, know better than to sit through those.
I couldn't resist this little celebration!

Bedtime Stories has consistently been in my Top 5 Madonna albums since the first time I listened to it. I'd place it 3rd now after Ray Of Light and Erotica.
I love the lush vibe of the album and the mood it creates and sustains from start to finish. Definitely one of those albums that I listen to from start to finish and it has some of Madonnas warmest and best vocals. The lyrics are great too, especially Secret and Love Tried To Welcome Me.
Inside Of Me would be my pick for a single that never was, especially if released after Take A Bow.

My favourites from Bedtime Stories are Survival and Secret. What a way to open the album. I keep coming back to Secret particularly because of the funky wah-wah guitar solo in the middle section.
And Take A Bow may feel a bit basic compared to many other moments on the record, but the melodies are so pretty and her voice is just stunning on it.

The only issue with Survival is that it has the content of an interlude, stretched out to a full song. If they’d added a couple more lines rather than just repeating the first verse, I’d love it more. It still sounds great, though.
This was my favorite Madonna single when it was first released. Six-year-old shrimpy was a dramatic child.
Italians Do It Better
Why hasn’t she ever opened a tour using Survival? It boggles the mind.
Bedtime Stories is also the album with the best and most diverse music videos. Not a dud in the bunch.
