Frozen

Here is how Wikipedia describes this song & music video:

“Frozen” is a song by American singer and songwriter Madonna, from her seventh studio album, Ray of Light (1998).

Maverick and Warner Bros. Records released it as the album’s lead single on January 23, 1998.

The song was also included on the compilation albums, GHV2 (2001) and Celebration (2009).

“Frozen” was written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, who both produced it in collaboration with William Orbit.

The mid-tempo electronica ballad, which has a layered sound enhanced by synthesizers and strings, lyrically addresses a cold and emotionless man.

“Frozen” received acclaim from music critics, some of whom deemed it as a highlight from Ray of Light.

The song was described as being a masterpiece, and its melodic beat and sound were defined as “cinematic”.

“Frozen” was also a global commercial success.

In the United States, it became Madonna’s sixth single to peak at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.

In the United Kingdom, “Frozen” became Madonna’s first single to debut at number one on the UK Singles Chart, while also reaching number one in Finland, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Scotland and Spain, and the top-five elsewhere.

The accompanying music video for “Frozen”, directed by Chris Cunningham, was filmed at Cuddeback Lake in California, and features Madonna as an ethereal, witch-like, melancholy persona, who shapeshifts into a flock of birds and a black dog.

The music video won a Moonman for Best Special Effects in a Video at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards.

To promote Ray of Light, Madonna performed the song live in several occasions, including its first world premiere on Sanremo Music Festival in Italy and on Wetten, dass..? in Germany.

Additionally, it was performed in several of her concert tours.

“Frozen” has been covered by many artists, such as Swedish hard rock band Talisman, and Polish industrial metal band Thy Disease.

Lyrics:
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You’re frozen
When your heart’s not open

You’re so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You’re broken
When your heart’s not open

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we’d never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

Now, there’s no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken

Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You’re frozen
When your heart’s not open

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we’d never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You’re frozen
When your heart’s not open

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we’d never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

If I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we’d never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

If I could melt your heart

My Thoughts

YouTube recommended this to my yesterday, I had forgotten about this song and music video from back when it came out.

I was surprised by this music video and song, both worked together well, and made me want to check out Madonna’s discography to see if she has more songs that I might like.

This is how music videos should be, where they fit the song, and this one goes even further by being unique & cinematic & magical / ethereal / mystical et cetera.

I possibly used to have this song in my music collection many years ago until it got lost after my hard drive broke and / or my MP3 player got stolen, I am not sure; either way, I have added it back to my music collection.

When I was a kid, my parents had at least one Madonna music album, it was the old fashion records played on an old record player back then.

I can not remember which music album it was or if I listened to it much or not back then.

Anyway, this song & music video has a unique mood / atmosphere that is a bit magical / mystical / ethereal & cold.

You can almost feel the temperature being cool or colder.

There is also a seductiveness there, and it is almost like a witch casting a spell.

It is like Madonna combined with Enya et cetera.

The vocals, instrumentals, visuals / lighting, costumes, makeup, et cetera all combine to form one of the best music videos that I have seen in a while, a classic, and the song holds up well in a classic (timeless)-like way.

This song is great for certain moods, and creating certain moods.

I must say, I am impressed, I did not expect this from Madonna.

She needs to make more music and music videos like this.

The end,
