Madonna - Promise To Try (Audio)

[KolaGirl808]

Always chokes me up when I suit there and carefully listen to this song. Too beautiful 3

[Yuriclay]

I cry everytime I come here and listen to this music! Only Madonna could do that!

[MorcosMarci]

Good evening. We now ont Hungary evening.

[PaulinaNewYorkCity]

I sang this at my father's funeral mass. what a sad day. to my surprise everyone clapped. I now know how madonna felt losing her mom. Beautiful song.

[patkaye11]

I'm speechless when I hear this! Love this song soooo much!

[SorrowfulLesson]

I adore Madonna- I always have. She was my inspiration, my muse, my dreams... Her music helped me so much when I was young, and I think deep down a piece of me will always love her, truly and completely. She is one of my soul mates in this large Universe, spinning out of control. Her voice comforts me, and gives me hope. To this day, she remains one of the few people in the music industry that ever touched my heart and soul so very deeply. Long live the Queen of Pop!

[fullimmerzion]

No one like Madonna... No one!

[1asheler]

I really do love this song! Beautifully written, sang with emotion, and way better than this auto-tune mess!

[1asheler]

@MyFightingSpirit I just bought it two days ago! It's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

[Zelgious]

This is an exceptionally beautiful and soft song. So very meaningful! Reminds me of much! One of her songs that makes me wanna cry everytime I hear it! Madonna, I promise to try!

[caitlinjane92]

It's so sad that Madonna lost her mother at such a young age. I can sense her pain over the whole ordeal in this song.

[TheMehvi10]

no way this album was a hit but when she did erotica it was a flop and erotica was her worst album

[al91b]

one of her most beautiful sad songs <3

[HellBlazerRaiser]

One of THE most beautiful and one of THE saddest songs I have ever listened to. It's a tough one to get through. 

[dm15ish]

:'( 

[xxxTIN0xxx]

Touching voice and lyrics, I love Madonna

[german661977]

i can't stop to lisen it,is simple so beatitul

[bluebottle08]

Just beautiful..

[MegaBabyboy13]

all her albums are so amazing well it´s just my opinion.

[thehumanracesux]

this song is sad it was one that was to listen to when i was going through hard times. i still shed tears when i hear this song

[Actresssamoa]

Remarkably awesome with a profound innocence and just all together wonderful. Great Song!!!

[winniebee112]

best album

[popparoach420]

I sang this in middle school...people actually liked it, and i am a guy (I was kurt before glee was cool...lol ), Madonna is and always has been my favorite singer, she got me through alot.

[schnoo]

@popparoach420 I agree. I wish she was that same madonna. But I guess she's just having fun in her later years. I am so thankful for her music up to Bedtime Stories (her last awesome album for me).

[elky29]

@popparoach420 snap. she saved my life without knowing it with her song live to tell.

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

He's a faded smile frozen in time, im still holding on but doing it wrong. i cant kiss him goodbye, but i promise to try...

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

This song is heartbreakingly beautiful..

[watked]

Losing a parent is very tough especially at a very young age i praise madonna for being strong through the years

[nazvanity]

beyonce ave maria much??

[AyaKaraRemix]

@nazvanity Holy shit, I hear it. Woah. Odd . . . But Ave Maria is known to be a famous song with that one melody for decades.

[RAKOVICHO]

@Finnster91 me too

[BubblePOPdropz]

@Finnster91 HUGS

[DylanAndrewOfficial]

The one dislike is from Lady Gaga.

[foxxyfierro]

@Finnster91 me too

[tangee2001]

Every father counts also. I know this song is for mothers but, when i hear this song i think of my daddy that i lost at seven years old. :-( I miss and love you daddy.

[hansakalie]

@tangee2001 I know what you mean. I have lost both of my parents and this song make me think of them.

[DeLiCioUsFiReS]

@tangee2001 I lost my mother when I was 9 and just lost my dad on Saturday morning. I'm 32 and this song rings true for both of them. I'm looking at old pictures right now, putting together a slideshow for his funeral next week. My childhood memories are getting fuzzy, and I just thought of the line "Don't let memory play games with your mind", and had to look this song up to post to Facebook. :-(

[GloriaD5767]

@DeLiCioUsFiReS Sorry for your loss. I lost my dad in 2000 and my mom in 2004. I can't listen to this song without crying. I'm planning to put together a video with pictures of my mom and me and use this song. It's one of Madonna's best.

[DeLiCioUsFiReS]

@GloriaD5767 That would be lovely. I'm working on the same thing for my dad's funeral on Wednesday. Thank you for your sympathy.

[elky29]

@DeLiCioUsFiReS my heart to yours. tis a brave moment to say goodbye to a parent. have done so to both of mine. much love to you and your for wednesday. xx

[GloriaD5767]

@DeLiCioUsFiReS I lost both parents by the age of 37. It's hard at any age. I wonder what I would have turned out if I'd lost my mom at five years of age, like Madonna did.

[pablodela41]

This song is so sad. You can feeld Madonna crying in this song. Beautiful like only she knows

[bleeb123]

This song is going to be featured on a Starbucks album this April. "Every mother counts". go to billboard for more info.

[LucienSabre]

This is the best song of Madonna, EVER.

[rara1800]

this is a good song its a shame that she doesnt get much credit for somgs like this and people bash her for being so called too sexy jerk critics...

[Florence52007]

@rara1800

good song....

[MrDirtino]

Her best song ever... so emotional so powerful...this is for you grandma...love you!

[LikeaDanceFloorLight]

Emotional and true song, beautiful voice, amazing songwriting! Madonna is the best ever!

[pixarian]

[lovemyselfforever86]

this song just reminded me of my grandma

[YTLOVER02]

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS ON THIS ALBUM. IT'S VERY TOUCHING AND INSPIRING,TOO.

[teemell19]

My Aunt used to sing this to me when I was little :')

[NewyorkMadge]

when i hear "i fought to be so strong i guess you knew i was afraid you'd go away too" it reminds me of my mother and i start to cry every single time no matter where i am

[netta2630]

I remember buy the cassette tape of this and that it would smell like sandalwood...

[CodeXero]

AVEEEE MARIAAAAAAA

[smthcmnl]

Beyonce's version of "Ave Maria" sounds similar to this song

[SaintThomas92]

@smthcmnl similar is not enough... its almost identical

[ScienceProjek]

@smthcmnl WOW!, It does... I couldn't put my finger on it but you just nailed it.

[oscarchamu]

that song so sad... =(

Madonna the best...

[sorcerer1975]

my all time favorite song offa the " like a prayer " album ... reminds me or my mom ...

[spooki0473]

oldie but goldie! ich mag diesen song total!!!

[mama19961118]

madonna cood sing

[downtownLAking]

wise words of wisdom

[muziekengeluid]

Madonna herself is horrific, but this song is wonderful, esp. the words and the string quartet. ("She's a faded smile frozen in Time"... beautiful) Such a pity Madonna sings it.

[ilmatawtam]

@muziekengeluid Pity that Madonna sings it? It's about her mother, who else would sing it....

[muziekengeluid]

@ilmatawtam Agreed, but as you may know, Madonna can't sing at all... The reason her voice sounds 'good' on her albums, is due to technical restoration (I should know, I own a sound studio myself).

But the words are impressive, as is the music.

[ilmatawtam]

@muziekengeluid I know she isn't the best singer in the world, but her voice is obviously not the reason why we love her so much <3 It's everything else.

[pablorubiolugo]

Cant sing at all?????

Joke, right???

Her voice is beautiful.

Ray of light???? live performances??? Sounds familiar????

[jerryhagan2]

@muziekengeluid 250 million records sold and and her net worth 650 million, and highest earning female artist of all time , Doesnt say so !

[TheGoldStandardBoy]

@jerryhagan2 Make that over 300 million records sold!

[CAYOMluver]

@muziekengeluid she does not have an amazing voice, but she can give it so much emotion (like this song) and her tone is lovely

[lifegoeson119]

@muziekengeluid i agree and understand what your saying.

[CAYOMluver]

@muziekengeluid she wrote it too...she is not horrific, she is a genius

[JennyBones98]

This is the song that was on the radio when i got the news my aunt passed away.. every time i hear this it makes me cry. Every time my kids & I visit her at her grave they want to play this song because they say lets play auntie's song... She was like a mother to me & a grandmother to my kids.. We miss her so much & wish she was here with us during this really difficult time... WE LOVE YOU AUNTIE & MISS YOU... <3

[DarinPrunerILoveYou]

I used to sing this to my daughter when I cradled her in my arms, and rocked her to sleep. So this song is to my loving daughter Ashley. I love you.

[stacymovie]

@DarinPrunerILoveYou ah this made me choke up! :) how precious

[bacardiboi48]

it always makes me cry...

[TheBeckyboowoo]

this song is beautiful, i used 2 listen 2 it when i was 12 and it helped me get threw the loss of my mother, just by knowing the words of the song ment alot to others like myself..thankyou madonna, ur music is amazing x

[AyahuaskaPop]

pienso en mi madre con esta canción y me dá un poco de pena,porque ya se fué hace tiempo, pero la vida es así. Te amo mamá...

[SuperMetalAngel]

Dedicated to my daughter Danielle ...I love you!!!

[foxymusic08]

this is a very emotional song, thank you madonna, this help me threw a lot of pain in my life, You are the best...

[MrFriendly789]

wonderfull!

[MariposaGirl1981]

for madonna's mother- Madonna Fortin Ciccone, Sr

[afonsomoon]

about her mother

[TheFIRSTFatJohn]

Very sad song, especially when you consider what it's based on, but also very beautiful. Madonna is amazing. (O: Thanks for posting this song.

[sidwellian2012]

beautiful... anyone who thinks Madonna can't sing should listen to this!

[3909clancy]

master piece oh please

[killer10178]

i love this song. remember hearing it on Truth or Dare, but neva knew the name.

[3909clancy]

oh please!!She feels this because its the truth for her.The rest of her songs she is just singing

[andysim232]

Aww I had the 33rpm with the same cover but ive no idea what happened to it. So long ago.

[gidgetwww]

MADONNA `S MOTHER DIED WHEN MADONNA WAS 4 OR 5 AND I BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT SHE IS THINKING ABOUT.

[BinxaRooable]

dang, this song makes me wanna cry lol so beautiful <333

love this woman!!

[jodelleferlandfan1]

Madonna will always be Madonna: a legend who can do EVERYTHING. Exceptionnal artist, superior to Michael Jackson!

[gidgetwww]

@jodelleferlandfan1 I DO NOT AGREE BECAUSE SHE HAS NO LIMITS ON HER MORALITY WHEN SHE SANG SOME OF HER SONGS: ; LIKE JUSTIFY MY LOVE VIDEO, MADE ME CRINGE BUT I WAS RAISED BY A STRICT GRANDMOTHER TIL 12. KATHY

[BinxaRooable]

@gidgetwww she does what she wants and doesn't care what people think.

she does things like that because she knows and liked to go over the limit.

push people buttons.

[alanito34]

@jodelleferlandfan1 Excuse You? Superior than Michael Jackson? MJ can Dance and Sing better than Madonna, already 10 points here....

[jodelleferlandfan1]

@alanito34 Madonna can dance too. And MJ's voice is NOT better, sorry. I HATE when people always consider MJ as God, damn... Just my opinion, no offence.

[TheGoldStandardBoy]

@alanito34 Why do we have to compare I like both. Enough already.

[zitalee2]

@jodelleferlandfan1 I hate when obsessed MJ fans hate on madonna just because Mj didn't like her. i don't like Mj's voice when he sings ballads, he has no passion like in this song. He always sounds sleek and clean which is fine sometimes but other times it just makes you wonder where the passion is

[jodelleferlandfan1]

@zitalee2 Yeah, i hate that too. In fact, i never understood the "Michael Jackson phenomenon" because he's HARDLY the best artist ever. His dance is AMAZING, that's right but it's not enough! Madonna is 100000x better for me. I'm not a MJ hater, but i'm certainly not a fan.

[zitalee2]

@jodelleferlandfan1 i don't really always like his dancing that much. i mean it's just a bunch of girations and figety movements. nothing spectacular. i dunno i mean to me he's just vastly overrated. i mean i've always considered madonna like the first modern female pop star because before her there were all disco divas, rock stars, and michael jackson.

[jodelleferlandfan1]

@zitalee2 Yeah. I agree with you, MJ is VERY overrated. He was not talentless but he was HARDLY the best.

[zitalee2]

@jodelleferlandfan1 do you think MJ liked ANY of madonna's songs? it doesn't sound too far fetched for him to like at least one.

[jodelleferlandfan1]

@zitalee2 I don't know if he liked some of her songs... Maybe one or two.

[deeriess77]

i use to sing this song to my mommy when i was about 8 yrs old and she use to cry , now i know why ... i love you mom ....

[magyarwho]

And people say she cant sing. LOL!

[bunnyboiler81]

Goosebumbs....... this song is so full ov chilood memorys its fantastic x

[Book0fShadows]

This is a beautiful song, and you can feel the emotion pouring out of Madonna when she sings it....so pure. <3

[MyQueenMadonna]

great song. i love you, Madonna

[oaoadasd]

this song makes me think of my childhood friend who was sexually abused by a man when he was five years old. The pain still cannot go away. but to "promise to try" keeps ringing in my head, because I can forgive but I cannot forget the past.

[fcac20]

Her ballads are true, made and sang by her... seems that she feels every word she's singing... she's not a «fast-food» product like other female singers...

[Riyadovna]

@fcac20 I agree with you totally! You could hear her sadness and longiness for her mother in this song. I get sad when I hear this song - it is so emotional, but true

[pablorubiolugo]

Her ballads are always so sentimental and beautiful.

Masterpieces in the 90´s like The power of Goodbye, Bad Girl, One more chance should get number 1 in Billboard 200 or 100, not the trashy songs of Mariah Carey

[mina75]

@fcac20 right, but the 2 last albums were totally fast-food, I'm very disappointed... I miss the old Madonna.

[fcac20]

@mina75 Yes I know. Sad. Her last deep album was American Life.

[amnelification]

@mina75 I personally think "Confessions of the Dancefloor" was brilliant... I've been a Madonna fan since I was 5 and to me it's her best one! but that's also because Im a Dance and Electronica junkie! I can understand how some of her fans could be disappointed!

[glori9455]

I dedicated this song to my son when he lost his dad @ the age of 2.

He was 31......we were a month away from getting married....(!-!)

[hedonisticthril]

madonna's voice is best suited for ballads i think. even her newest ballads are so amazing!

[inplane99]

This song is one of her best...

[danielka12]

Thank you! Great song.....

[boomer4927]

Only thing I can think of to say is my Deepest thank-you . . . .

[silverdream80]

one of the best ballad madonna did , so emotionnal
