[bodhisattvaPatty]

One of the BEST~!!! ;)

[bethheartspete100]

[saadukejaadu]

Wow I miss her deep songs :(

[silverdream80]

so sensual 

[TheNostaglicFlower]

Bedtime Stories and Ray of Light are Madonna's best 90's masterpieces. 

[citruscaesar]

haha love the picture being revealed as soon as the beat kicks in

[julianamercy]

I love you Madonna...today you released Give me all your luvin'

[sergsfault]

her best album

[StefanDot]

Great text. Great song. Bravo Madonna.

[Zelgious]

"Is all of this pain, so necessary?" Speaks to me so very much! She asks so many questions in this song to get you thinkin on what love and life are. She is a masterful genius! Without Madonna, I don't know where I'd be... If I'd even be. Her music inspires me

[Zelgious]

I'm still always searching for the one she claims in this song... My Sanctuary. You can never run out of hope with unlimited inspiration! Madonna, is that wondrous Sanctuary to my understanding. To my heart. Thank you, oh Queen of Pop!

[crouchhill]

I'M AMAZED SHE EVEN HEARD OF HERBIE...

[silverdream80]

such a sensual hot song

[enriqueviajero]

It´s not the lyrics but the music of this song is excellent as a gift to a closest friend.

Henry form oax, mex,

[0180cr]

I usually always go back to this song when I feel like Im in between two worlds....something inside me just seems to slide back and relax.

[MultiGakka]

and we had the option of free choice...

[MultiGakka]

everyone is created to God's resemblences.

[galastatic]

[javoneybaby]

@littlepinkangel1000 im sorry to have to correct you but Madonna did release this song in bedtime stories...i remember it came right before the song bedtime stories in the c.d.

[Mahoney8T7]

@javoneybaby

you are right but only on one thing; it came before bedtime story in the tracklisting for the album, but it never had a separate release as a single..go check it out :)

The singles off BEDTIME STORIES were;

1) Secret - 1994

2) Take A Bow - 1994

3) Bedime Story - 1995

4) Human Nature - 1995

[Dgebsho1]

still herbie hancock version is muuuuch better

[sirex02]

Herbie Hancock and Walt Whitman and that Bass! Madonna when your not a media whore your musically fabulouz!!!

[MrConstantineN]

so poetic... it inspires me...

I can't get enough of this song... it's just dreamy...

[ACsingsBlues2010]

When Madonna wants to take a break from the public shenanigans and simply create music she never falls short.

[julianamercy]

This and Survival are my favs from Bedtime Stories

Love you Mads!!!

[silverdream80]

classic , she should do a video back then for this one

[AtiEmss]

weird song

[arturocas90]

Talk about foreshadowing "Ray Of Light"

[humair911]

does anyone else not hear Bedtime Story right at the end?

[Bacchae30]

@humair911: On the Bedtime Stories album Sanctuary bleeds into Bedtime Story so that is why you hear the beginning of Bedtime Story at the end of Sanctuary. Madonna loves to play around with the alpha and omega.

[PhilippTheImmortal]

omg the backing track is a ripped from herbie hancocks Watermelon man from the album headhunters

[doublekey321]

@PhilippTheImmortal it's not ripped, yet sampled, which has been mentioned in the credits to the song.

[mrsuperbroes]

The best song Madonna ever written and sing, perfect lyrics en melody :)

[theblurecording]

"Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice...him or her, I shall follow..." by Walt Whitman in the poem called " Vocalism". It is the most honest lyric that Ive ever heard, applying to how I feel about love being a bisexual man. even though it isnt written in such a way, the line can be interpreted my way. Whomever treats me right-man or woman- thats the one that I shall love.

[Bacchae30]

@theblurecording: Madonna also quotes from Genesis 1:2 in Sanctuary. This is an amazing -- yet simple -- song.

[theblurecording]

Bedtime Stories is a great Pop album with R&B flair, overlooked considering where it fit in her timeline. It came after Erotica & right before Ray of Light thus it got lost, but its power is still valid. It wouldve been odd to hear Madonna go from Erotica to Ray of Light and this album smoothed out the fires because its a smooth album. Sanctuary is a beautiful R&B song that i wish wouldve been a single.

[bitchoderwos]

love this...

[juan1569]

I love this cd. Bedtimestories & Erotica are her most underrated cd's. I wish she would just record good music like she use to. We still love Madge!

[afonsomoon]

I love this song!

Adoro esta canción!

Eu adoro esta canção!

J'adore !

[sassysarsi]

I like how she samples Herbie Hancock's 1973 song "Watermelon Man"

[bripe]

@sassysarsi

What is this sampler?

[sassysarsi]

@bripe Madonna sampled the song "Watermelon Man" by Herbie Hancock and used the intro sound to her song "Sanctuary". a lot of musical artists sample other songs from others. It's an homage

[pablorubiolugo]

BEAUTIFUL

[tftc05]

this is one of HER BEST ALBUNS... I hope she does something with this level of production for the next album... fuck the charts, lets show them what MADONNA is done

[Jenna424]

That bass line is frightening and sexual.

[gatocatchat]

MADONNA!!! YOU ARE MY SANCTUARY!!! j.c (from chile)

[pavonissimo74]

I love this song..

[casavan]

the trip is courtesy of Herbie Hancock "watermelon man"

[LuisMorenoinostroza]

muy buen tema e introductorio a lo etéreo de lo divino.

[sokoli1988]
