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
Mmm... mmm... mmm... if I could melt your heart
Mmm... mmm... mmm... we'd never be apart
Mmm... mmm... mmm... give yourself to me
Mmm... mmm... mmm... you... hold... the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I'd 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
Mmm... mmm... mmm... if I could melt your heart
Mmm... mmm... mmm... we'd never be apart
Mmm... mmm... mmm... give yourself to me
Mmm... mmm... mmm... 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
Mmm... mmm... mmm... if I could melt your heart
Mmm... mmm... mmm... we'd never be apart
Mmm... mmm... mmm... give yourself to me
Mmm... mmm... mmm... you... hold... the key
If I could melt your heart

Obviously I'd heard this track before, but on hearing it on RP this time I had to find out who it was... (yes I know, hard to believe...).
To paraphrase what others have said here: A good track is a good track is a good track. My own preferences and tastes veer toward blues, rock and (original) R&B, but that doesn't preclude appreciating a Good Track.
Divorcing the perception of Madonna 'the celebrity' from the music of this track enables one to appreciate it's worth.
Just sayin'....

I frankly wasn't paying attention. It was my daughter who asked me to turn it off!
I've always been a fan....there, I said it...I'm out of the closet.

I think you might be contradicting yourself there, Unc. If you only heard her music, which is often pretty good and sometimes innovative, you'd not love her as you'd know nothing of her. It's not possible to know anything of her outside her manufactured personality cult, so it's impossible to forget it. She is the perfect Spectacular artist, with no real public personality but a series of personas designed to appeal to a range of audiences. She is, as the pseudy critics say, a cipher.
She is immensely talented (though how much she owes to songwriters and producers and media agents is debatable), but you can't ignore her personality cult and separate it from her music. The best you can do is a 'blind tasting', listen to a song without knowing it's herself and evaluate it on its merits as a song, which is what I did and yes, it's a good track by a good singer.
Can't help but LOVE this girl.
Forget the cult of personality/notoriety/BS that she created around herself.

All together now: Just because an artist or track gets overplayed on corporate radio DOESN'T MAKE IT BAD. The great unwashed masses consume a lot of dreck music, but it doesn't follow that all popular music is dreck.
This is a great track and if it was by an undiscovered indie songstress we'd all be falling over each other to uprate it.

Forget the cult of personality/notoriety/BS that she created around herself. She has talent out the wazoo, and found arrangers and producers that knew how to highlight her talents. She found video producers that knew how to highlight her physical talents for MTV, too, but isn't that how one plays the game?
Don't hate her because her voice is beautiful.

If I remember correctly, this was Madonna's foray into techno/electronica. I always thought "The Power of Goodbye" was decent.

I listen to RP to get away from what is(was) played on the corporate radio

Not a huge Madonna fan, but this CD is really good. I think it's William Orbit's influence.
Ray of Light is a great album. William Orbit produced it, so it is a little atypical and not as commercial as you'd expect.
Wow, who would have guessed we would see her here on RP. Although I think Live To Tell is a song better suites for RP.
I hate pop, but I don't hate this. Ray of Light was kinda a cool song too.

All of the fashionista silliness, media frenzy, hype, etc. aside - - this is a good track. Go Bill, go!

Variety! Me likey. Have always liked this song.
Made me do a double-take. Way to mix it up, RP.

Madonna sounding a bit Evanescence like - not too bad all Madonna related factors considered

Agreed. This one surprised me today.
Madonna on RP. Hey one I just thought of was the soundtrack title of the Sean Penn - Christopher Walken fim "At Close Range" that she did.

Wow, I was going to upload a tune form this album but figured it'd get shredded in the LRC just because of who it was.
I'm surprized this one made it - wouldn't be my first choice from this album.
But that's just me I guess.

I liked this song back near the end of last century, and still like hearing it on RP
The woman has a splendid voice when she is 'non-pop'...I like the more mature sounding Madonna...without all the fizz...like live to tell and this one

Having a hard time believing this is actually Madonna. Never thought I'd hear Madonna on RP.

Woa!
This is a first for me. I'd never heard Madonna on RP.
I kinda dig this

Ma-Who? Wow. OK. 
Check out a whole lotta love for The Material Girl here. Who knew? Well, I at least suspected there was some underground love for her on RP. Now it's confirmed.
Not her best, but as always with her, great production values. Worth another listen. How about Isaac from Confessions? Never hear that anywhere.
wow. really? Madonna? RP never ceases to amaze.
Madge! How?. . . Eh? . . . What? Not the track I would have chosen from the sinewy goddess - I would have gone far more disco. But here she is on RP . . all hail the brave dj.
She has some really good songs, but I think her appeal and huge success is much more due to the performances she gives. Those will not translate well into RP.
Hmmmmmmmm.......

Glad to see RP has overcome its irrational embargo on Madonna. This the second I've heard.

I'm cool with it - have always loved her. But still...stopped me in my tracks! Go Bill - just when I thought I had you all figured out.

Without Orbit's production it wouldn't have been nearly as good.
Fully agree with you on that point
That was my exact reaction. And my conclusion as well.
This is what makes RP so excellent — and so far beyond everything else out there.
Thank you Bill and Rebecca.

I listened to this album a lot for a couple years after it came out. It's enjoyable if you don't pay too much attention to the words.

Your comments are spot on.

Sounds a bit like a more 'ethnic' Madonna. Always liked this tune and it's arrangement. The delay guitar effects and reverb tricks are atmospheric...and a bit over the top. Hooray for the studio. Still like it though...
Bill, thank you! We love surprises.
I love this song. Glad it found its way into rotation here on RP. "Ray of Light" from this album is really good too.
I've always had a soft spot for Madonna (considering when I grew up), but when I was a young hipster adult, I was shocked that Ray of Light made it OK to like her for quality music... This album is surprisingly good and I'm glad you gave it a spot!
This may be my fave Madonna cd, next to her first.
Definitely one of Madonnas better albums.
Great song, great album

Good tune from an underrated artist.
For some reason ,unknown to me,,this CD can be found in my collection.
