Madonna - Bedtime Story (Video)

[KatStarchildArt]

Every detail is pure perfection in this Masterpiece. <3

[T8HPO]

Very artistic, this song can be great for clubbing if remixed right. Great for meditation. I also have it in my romance playlist in terms of lovemaking when your trying to get the Rhythm going during the session. Yep definitely ahead of its time in terms of it being art. Still great song to listen to in 2012 even though its 1994. I remember the night on MTV when she debuted this in pajamas on MTV in front of her fans on stage and trying to tell a bedtime story. One of my favorite Madonna songs.

[lunatongas]

woooooow, this is amazing

[dwn1lal3]

Cosmic systems intertwine

Astral bodies drip like wine

All of nature ebbs and flows

Comets shoot across the sky

Can't explain the reasons why

This is how creation goes... - Madonna's "Impressive Instant"

[larebe74]

Madonna:

Best female artist of all times

Best contemporary female song writer

she is the best in everything!!

[Celomuca]

she was ahead of her time...

[SweetLindsey123]

The music vid and the song is very Björk like:) But I like it :) !!

[Lanceisabeach]

This is my all time favorite video. It's enchanting and addictive. Love you maddie!

[dwn1lal3]

Madonna's "Impressive Instant" is like "Bedtime Story" on steroids.

[TheMicael28]

esta es la diva de las divas..unica y irrepetible.

[urbanfriend666]

quite a lot of the shots in this have been stolen from the 1960s sergei parajanov film 'the colour of pomegranates'. and there's at least one from the end scene of andrei tarkovsky's 'stalker'. i'm assuming that if bjork is a producer then she must have seen the films at some point. is madonna a film buff? doubt she'd be into '60s armenian cinema

[SuperSimonuk]

@urbanfriend666

you "doubt she would be into 60's armenian cinema" why do you doubt it? Do you generally make assumptions on the likes and dislikes of people you dont know?

[ameliedaee]

This song reminds me of 'The fifth element' and I don't know why...

[lazorra99]

pure bjorkness

[4thletta]

This vid was ahead of its time.....Classic

[dwn1lal3]

Highly recommend both "Impressive Instant" and "Skin" if you like "Bedtime Story". M.D.N.A. out in March.

[SuperSimonuk]

@dwn1lal3

Did u hear the mash up of impressive instant and future lovers? you should check it out its on youtube somewhere its amazing

[dwn1lal3]

@SuperSimonuk

I just did, awesome mash-up... there is no doubt "Impressive Instant" is considered one of the baddest Madonna's club hits.

[THESANTOX99]

Today is the last day that I'm using words

[govno78]

björk and madonna was a match made in heaven after this song Madonna made her masterpiece album RAY OF LIGHT and her best song ever Frozen! Good bless Björk!

[Orodreth1990]

the painter Remedios Varo??? O.o

[LadyDesdemonna]

Madonna used to kick ass. What happened to her? Now she's just a mediocre "artist" who throws around flowerly language and thinks she's royalty.

[loveunderlaw]

This song, & video are like taking Salvia:)

[Kingstonen21]

LOve this song!!!

[Shrbarnett]

I loved this song then & love it now

[Foppezao]

Madonna u own this...and it's good!... '80,'90 or zeros..

[valentinaignaciax3]

me encanta <3

[lonelyleaf17]

this is the quintessential form of art in its purest form. bjork and madonna are boh out of this world

[DesperatelySeekingAz]

@hidalgo699 True dat.

[dwn1lal3]

@hidalgo699

A lot of songs on her last two albums like "Future Lovers" and "Heartbeat" are very cutting edge. Have you listened to them yet before you commented?

[dwn1lal3]

@hidalgo699

Yeah the trippie "Heartbeat" on the Hard Candy album. And get this... if you wanna roll, Madonna's upcoming album is cleverly titled "M.D.N.A." co-produced with Martin Solveig and William Orbit. It's time to make some luvin' on M.D.N.A.... out in March.

[cjd2112]

@dwn1lal3 WHOA, she got back with Orbit?! That is amazing. "Ray of Light" was truly the only album of hers I liked, mainly due to Orbit's influence and the lyrical ingenuity and depth of meaning. I always hoped they would work together again as Madonna never truly shined as bright as she did on "Ray of Light."

[DHaNiTy]

@hidalgo699 Madonna actually has owned the 80's, 90's and 2000's, but totally true Hard Candy was the worst album ever, I hope next one gets better..

[SuperSimonuk]

@DHaNiTy

tbh i dont think madonna cared all that much for hard candy, she was at the end of her contract with warners, and had to put a final album out to complete her contract. It might not be her greatest but it is still better than the shit gaga puts out

[theXchaser]

2:02 Uma Thurman in the video?? =P

[Yecyd1]

I Love @Madonna & @Bjork

[karthikiyer1971]

Bjork's influence is very well evident in this Video :)

[karthikiyer1971]

Lady Gaga is now what Madonna was during our times, Madonna is still around and she still is what she is even now, hope Lady Gaga is remembered for what she is now 10 years later too

Peace

[SuperSimonuk]

@karthikiyer1971 wrong gaga is now what madonna was 20 years ago, dont you get it, gaga is 20 years out of date, everything she is doing has been done, and much better by madonna, and without a single virgin mobile/coca cola logo in sight

[governmentscheisse]

oh of course there's talk about gaga. madonna fans are so fucking upset that no one cares about madonna anymore. if madonna is truly the queen, why do you fucking always have to pay attention to gaga?

[pancakeing]

@governmentscheisse

Because Gaga copies Madonna in everything she does?

It's nothing to do with how popular Gaga is, it's the fact she's a fraud. If Gaga had like 5 fans, i would still hate her, because she deserves none of her success.

Plus, why the fuck are you here if you think 'nobody cares about Madonna anymore', clearly you do, why would you be here otherwise?

Quit trolling, it's so sad!

[SuperSimonuk]

@governmentscheisse and if gaga is the queen, why does she pay so much attention to madonna????? is it cos she has no ideas of her own?

[Kingstonen21]

@SuperSimonuk TRUE!!!

[SuperSimonuk]

@governmentscheisse

When gaga manages to sell 300million records and have the highest selling tour of all time and last more than a few years in the limelight then this will be relevant

[jasiekel86]

@SuperSimonuk Gaga is doing pretty well for herself, it's stupid that all the Madonna fans are so against anyone else making it as big as her. And since Madonna has been around since before Gaga was even born, she's has quite a head start, so it's illogical to compare their record sales when Gaga is only in her early stages! It's like comparing YOUR record sales to Gaga's!

[cristiancamiloarenas]

björk is a producer in this song <3

[VitaA0Kelvin]

@cristiancamiloarenas Infact, this sounds like Violently Happy, a little bit!

[willichirazz]

@cristiancamiloarenas bjork co-wrote with madonna...

[SuperSimonuk]

@cristiancamiloarenas Thought it was nelly hooper...

[cjd2112]

@SuperSimonuk It was, Hooper wrote this for Björk, not sure how it ended up in Madonna's hands. I would have loved it if Björk took on this song...

[Yaenipponcover]

@cristiancamiloarenas The More You Know O_o

[TheArca9]

this video should have been won a grammy at least nominated

[SuperSimonuk]

@TheArca9 but then, how many videos that won grammys back then are still watched???? Madonna is bigger than any award show, 20-30 years later you still hear madonna, whereas, people who were popular ten years ago, are already forgotten, xtina, britney...

[antiochus66]

well these directors just take the work of russian director tarkovsky..

the film the colour of pomegranates by Sergei Parajanov.

the work of photographer guy bourdin.

take the images,the concepts mix in a structure add some masonic shit and you have a wicked video init.

in fact madge had to pay bourdins family over a million dollars for idea theft.

go to the original source for inspiration not lovely looking fakes.

[antiochus66]

@shazu1990

how about a cod piece of new world order illuminate symbolic drivel.

from the shapers of gaga videos come more of the same.

in videos the eye is the new exploding light bulb.

[shazu1990]

@antiochus66 ?????????? anyway!!

[antiochus66]

what do you think are the themes,the ideas,the concepts behind this.

do you think it's just nice,pretty..

do you think that everything is just about the surface.

do you think this is just random art.

like nasty gaga videos this video is full of masonic symbolism some of it,and some of the hidden themes are revolting.

it sure looks pretty thats the hook.

it's about control..keeping the ship grazing in ignorance.

masonic themes run a lot of music videos.

nice video start with the eye of horus

[shazu1990]

@antiochus66 Which piece of media isn't masonry? Everything today is. I know already. However, I study art and I'm just here to be inspired by the aesthetics of other work, not to read subliminal messages.

Music like this doesn't exist anymore. Music as we know it is dead and will never make a comeback.

[AlvaroTheDrummer26]

written by Björk!

[notperse]

So ahead of its time...

[23AndresDe]

un video muy adelantado a su tiempo, me dicen que es del nuevo material de madonna de 2012 y me lo creo xD..... tiene una melodia muy fresca y el video esta bien trabajado

[dixona8997]

dragado perro !! aaron you just want to smell her pussy

[aaronxalapa]

I'm mexican and this is very influenced by some mexican female painters Frida and specially Remedios Varo even the lyrics

[lothos150]

Lol im from iceland and this is the only song i can watch from warnerbrosrecords others cant be displayed in my country..... hint hint

[TheEvolushionIsMe]

This is what art looks like

[alestanish]

Tiene elementos muy innovadores, hasta tiene referencias pictóricas de Remedios Varo en unas escenas.. Madonna es y siempre será la reina del pop.

[dashenell2010]

love this video!!

[GreenEyedGurrrl]

VERY UNDERRATED SONG, ONE OF HER BEST!!

[lest55]

Queen!!

[knuckleheadX98]

bet no one noticed her real name appears at the end.

[gatinoalbert]

exelente



[alliwanttosay1]

Thank you Bjork!

[TheEvolushionIsMe]

@alliwanttosay1 what dose this video have to do with Bjork?

[PlatinumBlonde87]

@TheEvolushionIsMe she wrote the song :)

[TheEvolushionIsMe]

@PlatinumBlonde87 ohhh lol, the video also looks like something bjork would do to just saying

[bobbytanks]

a great mixture of Crowley tarot cards,  Remedios Varo paintings & occultism

[bobbytanks]

it's bjork's

[ivehearditallbefore]

truly innovative. masterpiece!

[hedyfrancis]

This song is amazing and the video is one of the best she has ever made... and I was reading some comments, and well people see the devil wherever they want to see... what I see is just a representation of a world of dreams (and nightmares), and dreams are weird sometimes and crazy, but not necessarily evil... i don't know that is just my opinion... this video is just great, the effects still amazing!!

[MrMylord]

Masterpiece of masterpieces

[youraverageuser]

a classic!

[jasperwellington11]

Madonna Queen of Pop...period.

[xdiamondsparkx]

madonna is a zionist and she worships the anti-christ, i can't believe you all can't see that from this video. the arabic words say "try to forget everything you've learned in the past" the whole video is basically telling you to not use your logic and submit your soul to the devil....don't be blinded by this people, its all techniques to brainwash you!

[SNEProject2]

@xdiamondsparkx stop with all these conspiracy theories.since 17 years i 'only' see the pure aesthetics in this video representing both european XIXth century romantism and XXth century surrealism. where is that f...g satan you see everywhere?

[SNEProject2]

@xdiamondsparkx have you ever heard of so called lucid dreams? if not then please - educate yourself instead of still living intelectually in the middle ages.

[returnoftheramble]

@xdiamondsparkx it's a psychotronic weapon.

[ericwarnercline]

Fuck me in the asshole.

[TheThunderGirl1]

why does this have less than a million views on 12/8/11? great song.

[ljolley]

I can totally hear the Bjork influence....it's amazing!

[besmith1972]

I'm in agreement with Madge's brilliance. We should also remember that Bjork wrote this song.

[ShuichiAmy]

@albymadonna Do you feel pressed about GaGa's uprising success? Why the heck are you so resentful? That's so sad.

[shanedawsonrocksalot]

@ShuichiAmy I agree. Expecially considering Gaga's video is auobiographical Madonna shouldn't mentioned on Gaga's videos and Gaga shouldn't be mentioned on Madge's videos. They are both different. Yes Gaga takes some from M but didn't M take from others too? No artist is completey 100% original

[TheStarwolf11100]

@albymadonna it was a documentary or whatever u wanna call it so duh of course it was 13 minutes long

[ladymonster96]

@albymadonna No. RIP MADONNA ;)

[albymadonna]

@ladymonster96

what?? u are a stupid teen born in 1996...Lady gaga is a great singer, Madonna is pure art..

[TheGaGamazing]

@albymadonna Stereotyping every teenager born in 1996 as stupid. That's great.

[vertwheeler7]

@albymadonna i born in 1996 but i definetly love madonnaaaaaa!

[albymadonna]

@vertwheeler7 i love u 

[SuperSimonuk]

@albymadonna Gaga... A Madonna doppelganger with scoliosis and a knack for trite, overproduced and formulaic drivel. Not nearly as controversial as she imagines. She pissed off Jerry Seinfeld? Meh. My heart’s not really in this one. She makes shitty music. Who fucking cares. Probably you. You sicken me. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

[albymadonna]

@SuperSimonuk OMG..u seriously have a problem..shitty music?! Poor man..

[iamoreiram]

@albymadonna Sorry, Björk is pure art

[DeathNoteSim]

@albymadonna am 15 year old meaning born in 1996 and I believe Madonna is true art :D

[manuel32720011]

Bjork wrote this and i definitely should have been sung by her too.

[burron123456]

@manuel32720011 She didn't wrote this. She is only a producer..

[manuel32720011]

@burron123456 look it up. she did.

[soupful]

@burron123456 She is more than just producer especially for this update video-version its about higher gnostic occult knowledge only kabalah! WAKE_UP

[larebe74]

@AlifDesouza are you God? 

[AlifDesouza]

@larebe74 LOL, TYPICAL, madonna's fan gonna go against me, im fine, the Quran states so, if you're in illuminati, there's no turning back, im just saying, you guys dont have to believe me.......i was once madonna's fan, like super fan. but what u said is correct, im not god to decide. but yeah......we all saw she stepped on the words of the holy quran....

[djhinrg]

Ok, let aside song written by Bjork, video idea from "The Fall" but let's focus on the performance, vocalist, beats and the video. By far, this video was made way advanced during it's time comparing to majority of other music videos during that era. So yes, it was original and of course along the way some other music producers will sample it. . . .

[adi827]

Those who agree that this song along with its accompanying video is a masterpiece please raise your hands!

[Poison377]

@adi827 *Raises hand* -- I thought the entire album was underrated.

[Poison377]

@Poison377 This was actually written by Bjork and Madonna wanted to collaborate with her, but Bjork wasn't interested.

[MsSuperSchultz]

It's like a dream.

[666threesixes666]

2:07 = poppy = heroin = this video is about getting loaded....

[MilancheVEVO]

Bjork wrote this song.

lots of symbols in this video referring to pagan time period.

@ChildericTheBee Doesn't matter. They would just insist that she's copying Lady Gaga.

probably one of the best videos ever made

siempre me a gustado tener videos de madonna grabados, asi los podia ver a la hora que queria, bueno eso antes de la internet, y cuando mi hija era pequenita, me gustaba poner los videos y ahora que ella esta grande le tiene mucho miedo a este!! me dice que desde que esta pequena siempre le da miedo!! y eso que su artista favorita es madonna! =)
