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

This year’s Black History Month celebration at the Tiny Desk features a carefully crafted lineup spanning many genres, generations, and walks of life.
Each artist represents the best in their class and will be performing at the Tiny Desk for the first time.
Stephen Thompson | February 10, 2023 You can’t see it on the screen, but there’s a piece of paper taped to the Desk in front of Lee Fields throughout the R&B, blues and soul veteran’s long-awaited Tiny Desk debut.
It’s got the set list, of course, but also an instruction to the singer: “NO AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION!!!!”
It speaks to Fields’ legendary showmanship — he’s often been dubbed “Little JB” due to his similarities to the hardest-working man in show business — that his team felt a need to rein in his generous impulse to work any crowd before him, knowing the time constraints of a Tiny Desk concert.
It speaks further to Fields’ showmanship that he ended up ignoring the directive: By the time he got to the set-closing “Two Jobs,” which features a call-and-response listing the hours in the day, he was yelling, “I want y’all to count the hours!”
Though pandemic-era protocols limit the size of the Tiny Desk crowds these days, Fields got the shouts of approval (and participation) he was seeking, as he barreled through three songs from last year’s Sentimental Fool and one relative oldie from a career that stretches all the way back to the late ’60s: the self-explanatorily titled “Ladies,” from his 2009 album My World.
SET LIST “Forever” “Ladies” “What Did I Do” “Two Jobs”

Lyrics:
Huh, I do as I want I do as I like I no watch face I no fear nobody, nobody
I do as I want I do as I like I no watch face I no fear nobody, nobody

Snakes in the grass no trust am Point and kill any impostor Want me to appear It go cost am Smooth travel never stuck in customs That’s in any city you can come and see it with me Reality will hit you cos not everywhere is pretty But for now bring the Naira come gimme Can’t stop greatness what the point in trying Hard not to recognise with all this pressure we applying Tell me people rise up can never be silenced You think were apologetic I think were defiant Mummy say I gotta be a go go getter Got the devil tryna temp me but I know better Never been the type to not acknowledge all the signs Its a fact that everything I want is in front of my eyes So when I see it I
