Happiness lies in your own hands is the secret……after the drama/backlash of the Erotica era, this worked. I remember Molly Meldrum saying don’t count Madonna out. 90’s Madonna is gorgeous .

At this time in Madonna’s life; she was becoming more spiritual . She was starting to study the Kabalah which deals with the law of the universe and thing that she was realizing is that the energy that you give out; the Universe will return it to you. Therefore, because of the fact that she repeats the words “ happiness lies in your own hands “ I believe that she is referring to The Law Of Attraction which is the concept that the book “ The Secret “ is based on

***RBS STORY TIME!!*** ...RBS has got a 'secret'......but, not anymore...... ; ) ... - ..back in Aug. / Sept. 1994, I went to a Record store called 'Sounds' in the East Village NYC; It had a brownstone -like stoop, where a lot of People loved to sit, eat & talk.... - ...I left, and went to walk down the stairs, and 3 Guys were sitting there, arguing about a tune from U2; I jumped in and corrected them, to show them the tallest guy was right....The guy thanked me, & introduced himself as 'Jason', and we went our separate ways....THEN, he appeared at another Record Store I frequented, and we spoke again.... - ...he told me he was a Model, and he had to split, 'cause he had a gig to do....I paid it no mind, because I seen Models ALL- THE -TIME (at that time).....then, somewhere in October(?), the Madge Video for "Secret" drops.....OH MY GOD, Jason's the Love interest in the Video! (6:27) - ...he said NOTHING to me about working with Madonna! ...I seen him another time at the 2nd Record store, and I CUSSED him out for not telling me! ...ha-HAA!! ...he's a good Kid, LOVES Indie Rock, and I saw him sporadically here & there, until 1998..... ...P.S. the Jacket he's wearing (in the Nightclub) is the same one I saw him in the day of the Video shoot...he literally had to have jumped a train and shot up to Harlem that Day! ...ha-HAA!!

Absolutely loved this video. I was 13 almost 14 when it was released. The grittiness of Harlem worked very well with the sound of the song. This was the beginning of a string of amazing clips made for this album. Personally, the best videos of any M era. I saw her on Thursday in Chicago and the Bedtime Stories album was represented with a part of Human Nature and an extremely cool version of Bedtime Story. This was a number one song in Canada and Switzerland. The remix went #1 on the US.Dance Club chart (which she holds the title of 50 #1's) and #3 on the Billboard 100.

We’d been seeing Madonna in the tabloids and on TV, feeling out a new style as she hung out at basketball games and dated Tupac and Dennis Rodman… So when this video was released it felt consistent with her life, but not in a forced tourism way. As you said, she has always dated and featured men of colour in her life and work, and had many friends from across the spectrum of race and culture, so this is more of a return to the deeper New York feel for her. Harlem is such a beautiful, photogenic part of NYC, and they did it proud with this stunningly soulful cinematography and casting a wonderful range of people… especially the guy playing Madonna’s gorgeous boyfriend 😍 Ooo gimme all your secrets! Personally though, I felt a lot of warmth from this video. My father had died the year this came out, and because he was a jazz musician, he would talk in glowing terms about jazz luminaries and the places they came from, so the band and the whole setting of this video gave me warm feelings of my Dad. I interpret the baby at the end as a narrative twist on people’s assumptions of what Madonna is looking for in life, and a reflection of her own thoughts turning more toward potential motherhood. When you rewatch the video, keep an eye out for all the hand gestures featured. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Riffing on the line “happiness lies in your own hands”, Madonna and director Melodie McDaniel developed the metaphor into an endlessly repeated motif in the video 🤲

I was 13 when this came out. Song was a radio hit and the video was so alluring, creating an urban world I could not relate to but found gritty and beautiful. She looked beautiful and modern in a hip hop white lady way, but also 1970s. If you watched The Duece a few years ago, similar vibe. I could tell she was now a grande dame of pop, older than TLC and Mariah who seemed young and fresh. But Madonna seemed wise and deep and sensual in a way they did not.

The video was shot in a depraved part of New York, who she lived in her young years at the end of 70's. Because at this period of her life, when she shot the video in september 1994, many critics noted the video was seem her first time her intention to have a mother when she shot the video, and it's noted at the close of the video. She became a mother in 1996, when her daughter was born. The video was know to her to celebrate also the black community in a good way without prejudice and was a major playing in MTV with others urban artists like TLC, Boyz II Men or Toni Braxton. Melanie McDaniel directed this video. But because of the bakclash of the ''Erotica'' era, unlike the past eras, Warner made very little promotion for this album and Madonna not make a lot of interviews during this era unlike ''Like a prayer'' or ''Erotica'' era who she was interviewed a lot. The album debuted worse then ''Erotica'' the first weeks (for example in US, ''Bedtime Stories'' selling least then ''Erotica'' the first week and also debuting at n.3, while ''Erotica'' debuting at n.2), but the success of this song and ''Take a Bow'' made a longevity on the album and ending to have a little better impact then ''Erotica'' (''Erotica'' was sold 6 millions to date and ''Bedtime Stories'' sold 8 millions to date).

Also, I don’t believe that nose ring is real. In the 90s, you could get them with magnets, so you didn’t actually have to pierce. I enjoy your reviews, and your singing as well. ♥️

Empress, didn't Madonna have the nose piercing on the album cover too? I still remember the first time I saw this video really well. The single and the video came out on the same day - a couple weeks before the full album came out - on my 18th birthday on October 4, 1994 - I was a senior. MTV had been advertising the premiere date for the video and even mentioned what times during the day they would be airing it. So I got up at 6 AM on a school day and watched the official very first airing of "Secret." I suppose it was worth it for the memory hahaha! There was one thing that caught my attention when I watched it. Remember back during Playground and Erotica era when you said Madonna was starting to look 90's and who is this 90's lady? For me, this video was my first realization that Madonna really was getting older, like for real, not the teeny bopper boy toy anymore. And then I noticed a lot of the media saying the same thing over the next couple of weeks, only they were so mean about it. It's like Madonna wasn't being controversial right now so we're just going to talk about how "old" she looks. Even Beavis and Butthead made a joke about it. Watching this again now, no she doesn't look 20 anymore but she still looks like a beautiful young lady, doesn't she? What were people even thinking?

I was impressed with both song and video of Secret when I first saw and heard it. To me it seemed like she was maturing while still being Madonna. It made sense. The video inaugurates a great string of videos from the album. The videos for the 4 songs from Bedtime Stories that were made into videos are the strongest set of music videos Madonna did for an album. Artistic, entertaining, all memorable.

I think she looks gorgeous in this video, and I loved it when I first saw it at 13. It was a perfect (and you used the word!) SUBTLE way to start the Bedtime Stories video cycle while still showing she was Madonna. That smoky eye, the nose ring, the black-and-white cinematography - it's not as dynamic as other videos, but it WORKS.

The video depicts her transformation or rebirth but also depicts her search for unconditional love in the form of motherhood........ her need to bestow all of the spirituality and internal instincts to a child. I believe that her need for a child was a therapeutic or healing thing for her experience of losing her mother so early. The "Secret" was all of the new lessons in spirituality that someone or something was teaching her ans/or inspiring her. It's interstate to note that there was a spirituality book out at the time that was EXTREMELY popular caled "The secret".

I think she had a nose ring on letterman and in I’ll Remember. I was a little disappointed with the video when it came out just because it was so tame compared to the Erotica videos, which had big storylines (Bad Girl, Deeper and Deeper), pushed the envelope (Erotica), or used the latest technology (Rain). I came to appreciate this video and album much later on. Of course we’ll see the storylines, envelope pushing, and tech in future videos so not to worry!

Can you imagine I really was disappointed when this song came out, Empress??? But I did and can't believe it nowadays. I guess I was so used to pop or dance Madonna that I needed some time to like this R&B stuff, but soon I did. It was the same experience I had with Eurythmics "Would I Lie To You" in spring 1985. To hear this after all that electronica stuff by them was too much for me. I needed to learn to embrace different kinds of music, I guess.

Hi empress , and baby empress ❤️. It is true she wanted to showcase Harlem In the 90’s because she felt the architectural elements and culture were so beautiful ( this was said in an interview way before gentrification) She has always loved the brown and black community. From the beginning of her career until now. I’m Latino, so I’m brown. There is some debate then and now about appropriating the culture, but for me it comes across sincere and like she really admires the beauty in non white culture. I’m flattered actually and touched. What do you think empress ? Do you feel like it’s a legit admirer of our culture or do u think she did it for clout or maybe both? Lastly, I think she does look older ( big difference between 30-35, and again 40-45 - I speak from experience) but she at the time of this video exudes sexuality and a grown woman beauty , I remember thinking she had the best legs. They must had been waxed , before waxing was a thing. I think this video is very chic

One of my favorite videos of all time. She looks fresh sounds 🔥 the guitar 🔥 besides nose ring she has the belly button pierced. Her nose ring debuted with letterman short hair interview. Peter Shue was supposed to comeout in the video as the male lead. Madonna waspaying 300k. He had gotten busted by FBI and blames Madonna. But if you hear the interview he did it was his own fault.the city walking Borderline, papa dont preach and besides Secret we have maybe 2 more walking videos.

@@EmpressReacts Peter Shue was a huge drug lord like Haitian Jack in NYC. He says Madonna wanted to gave his kid. When Madonna founded Maverick she was trying to direct movies so she bought the rights to a former DEA woman who was responsible for bringing drug lords down. Madonna was developing the movie and wanted Shue to be part of it so he introduced them and told him who she was. Moral of the story that former dea met with Shue on a separate party and was crying to him how she was broke and needed $$ for an emergency. Shue went ahead and give her a big amount no more than 100k and then that former DEA started the investigation on him on how he got that $$$. When tbe investigation started Madonna offered him 300kto start on the video. He declined because his girlfriend did not let him because she didn't like Madonna. To me he could have used that $ to say he was part of the entertainment industry and will get cash deals but he refused to come out in the video according to him Madonna begged him several times. Story short he lost hiz case went to federal prison and now he blames Madonna for introducing him to the DEA. He claims she set him up.

I was slightly disappointed the first time I saw the video because Madonna still seemed to have remnants of her Erotica/'Dita'-era look. I wanted her go back to her vampy, pre-1992 dark eyebrows and beauty mark above the lip look. It took me a long time to get used to her with light eyebrows. It just seemed so un-Madonna.

What do you think the ‘secret’ was? That she had a child, that her boyfriend had a child, that her boyfriend was black? I wonder if this was M giving a clue that she was dating Tupac… hmmm… 🔟🔟🔟 obviously!

But none of these seem like secrets so to speak especially the child because they were pretty big, maybe if it was a newborn by another woman

I have no idea what the video is about! It could be about alot of things! After all these years she never reveal ed what it was. I saw a Trans women, a mixed women. I'd definitely had some to do with the different colors of black. It could be about an interracial relationship. Idk, I always grasped at straws lol. Good jazz vibe in the lounge though!
