Lyrics:
When I was very young
Nothing really mattered to me
But making myself happy
I was the only one
Now that I am grown
Everything's changed
I'll never be the same
Because of you
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me
Looking at my life
It's very clear to me
I lived so selfishly
I was the only one
I realize
That nobody wins
Something is ending
And something begins
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to-
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me
Nothing takes the past away
Like the future
Nothing makes the darkness go
Like the light
You're shelter from the storm
Give me comfort in your arms
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need

Finally, She sang this song. She knows what her fans want

[@valentinomiller6251]

I don't think Madonna thinks about what her fans want. I think she thinks more about what story she wants to tell and what songs fit that story. Since "Drowned World", her concerts were not dependent upon her hit songs, and as fans, for the most part, we've come to accept that, at least I have. If she really cared what the fans -- not me, mind you -- wanted, she would sing more of her hits. I'm thrilled with the setlist, but it does leave out quite a few hits and BIGGER-hit songs. "You'll See", "I'll Remember", "Take a Bow", "Cherish", among many others were all big hits, yet were AGAIN ignored. Again, I'm fine with that, because the setlist that we do get is nonetheless awesome

[@AppleCinnamon1]

@@valentinomiller6251 You are right. Probably that is what we (a lot of or most of her fans) love her for. That she departs from the point where is at, knows what she wants to say, reflects back on her songs and chooses the ones that express what she wants to say. Past, present and future are interconnected.

The music scene in 98 was Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync. Madonna was a 40 year old new mom and she said f*ck the ‘rules’ and DOMINATED with Ray of Light! So risky and unexpected.

Same happened with The Rolling Stones in the 80s.

[@nunogouveia6458]

Actually Britney Spears only released her first single in mid of 99 and so did Christina Aguilera. NSync had their first US TOP 10 song in '99 and Backstreet boys had big hits in '96 and '99 but not in '98. In 1998 was all about Titanic Celine Dion song, Madonna (this album sold over 18 million copies!), Janet Jackson ("Together Again" was the biggest hit of her carreer) and a couple more things (but not much more global). Madonna never went anywhere since she started having TOP 10 Hits in 1984 and during 1998 she had another 2 TOP 10 Hits with "Frozen" (#02) and "Ray of Light" (#05). But in 1997 she had a TOP 10 with "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", in 1996 with "You'll See", in 1995 with "Take a Bow" (#01 for 7 weeks), 1994 with "I''ll Remember" (#02) and "Secret"(#03).... and in almost all years before since she started her carreer. Before it was more regular some 40 yo woman to have TOP 10 Hits (Tina Turner, Cher and other artists did it as well before Madonna).

[@RioRav]

I've often found that people who say theyre not huge Madonna fans is because they have just heard a couple songs. The deeper you get into her catalogue and persona the bigger respect for her as an artist you get. Unfortunately she faced a lot of ridicule from the media due to sexism and so a lot of her critique is still pervasive in people who write her off on that basis. Luckily I think as the newer generations keep rediscovering more of the pasts female artists like with Kate Bush and Stevie Nicks, Madonna will continue to be more respected as the true artist, intellectual, feminist icon and trailblazer that she always was.

[@parvisbrahim]

That build-up though at 03:30 where the beat starts to go really hard and just when you think it's gonna climax into one big thumping beat, it dips and Madonna follows it up with mellow singing is simply what you would consider a genius musical tease - you want more but you just can't. And thus, you end up listening to it over and over again. It is effectively toxic and I am addicted to it.

[@AppleCinnamon1]

Just like life.

[@JPerpetualKid_]

A favorite part!!! Keeps on repeating that. Also, she and her team has the same addictive beat with The Power of Goodbye. After the part “I learn to say goodbye. I yearn to say goodbye!” Damn, the melody/beat is just addictively insane!!! Love these 2 songs!!! 😍😍😍

I’m 14. I was feeling really sad for a long time bc I found myself ugly and undeserving of love and attention bc of that. I listened to that song coming from home and I started crying. Crying from happiness. Idk where it comes from but this song has some power. I felt that It was useless to cry about that, that nothing really mattered, that my life was long and I had the time to change, to find my significant other. Finally, when I came across my mirror I found myself beautiful. Thanks Madonna, ily

[@braziliyaful]

I wish I was 14 now. Youth is priceless & it's the jewel of beauty !

[@karimelupus]

This album came out when I was 14 -15 actually and I sometimes like to go back to it because it reminds me to let go of things that are out of my control, like people I love or how someone feels about me. I wish the same for you. Sadness will get you, and then you get back up (:

I know exact what you mean. I was thinking the very same thing. I’ll never forget where I was when this came out. I had come to the end of an extremely painful divorce, and had escaped to the mountains to “lick my wounds” as it were. It was a very very snowy winter, winter of 1998, and I took such comfort and strength from this record!

[@iamjvnejiee]

I was just 9 years old when this album was released, and I must say this gave a good memories on my childhood years. This is the album i keep coming back. The album is undeniably beautiful - and I must say it was the top tier album of Madonna.

[@AppleCinnamon1]

This is my all time favorite track. It is so timeless, spiritual, liberating and empowerig. There is so much truth in it. You can't carry life's baggage with you to everywhere you go, but you can keep and carry love in your heart and mind regardless of where you are. Love travels and stays with you. It also motivates and energizes you and makes you overcome what life throws at you. The video is far ahead of its time. It is about making it through chaos and spiritual rebirth through love. As the fourth single from Ray of light album, its extended dance CD topped the sales chart as well as the dance club chart. It made it into hot 100, but didn't go all the way to top 40 because the radios were still playing the other tracks from the Ray of Light album. This song didn't get enough radio airplay that it deserved. It is one of Madonna's greatest tracks ever. I love her voice, especially on this track. Lets give this extraordinary gem of a track finally enough love and appreciation that it deserves by revisiting it again and again and by playing it everywhere.
