s7ven Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 One of the most important, most entrancing, uplifting songs of my life. I remember hearing it on the radio, for one of the first times on z100. My father drove a truck when I was a kid and he got out and I quickly raised it at the highest volume and looked through my mirrors To see when he would be back and I just sang and danced. I loved that feeling she gave me. I'll never forget important moments that were random but They were just a pure expression of escape for me and Learning more about who I was through Madonna's music. Lovely story Mensch! This song is beyond epic, part of the soundtrack of our lives, not only Madonna fans. You have all described it better, so I'll just leave this video, which always cracks me up! http://youtu.be/-SuIP5F5Pqw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIRTY PIG Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I think this could be my favourite Madona song ever, I was blown away the first time I heard it and it stll stands up. Then video came along and I was blown away all over again. incredible era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIRTY PIG Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 the video is fucking sublime. Definitely the best/coolest she has looked in a video imo. To think aswell this was after the DRAB something to remember/evita era, of which I was not a fan at all. it was an incredible transformation.

bumholegeorge Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Monumental track...... It kinda does everything you need a song to do an it never fails to get the adrenalin pumping.... Absolutely agree that if it had been the lead single it would've had even more impact .. It had Number 1 written all over from the moment I heard it... Will always be in my Top 10 faves.......

Guest Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Easily my favorite Madonna song ever, with Like a prayer a close second. Ray of Light is like nothing she has ever recorded previously (or since) The pumping House bass, those frantic, high paced synthesizers along with electric guitars and 60's sounding William Orbit synth organs and other worldly bleeps. But the best is her vocals. She's never sounded better on a song, she just pushed her vocals to new heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrokenButterfly Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 In an alternate universe this track could have been titled Strobe Light. It's the aural equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityMax Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I was surprised how much of "Ray of Light" is taken from Curtiss Maldoon's "Sepheryn." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightcutter Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I thought it was fabulous when I first heard it. It still is but I hardly play it now. I've never seen that Oprah clip before - she sounds brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightcutter Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I would sometimes sing "Anna Friel" instead of "And I Feel" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jan Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I would sometimes sing "Anna Friel" instead of "And I Feel" though. Nightcutter, I bet any money Anna would be honoured that you use her name in this sacred song. I loved her in Pushing Daisies. I played Ray of light about 4 times today in the car due to this thread. I said it before but it is such an epic song. One of my favourite Madonna songs and I have plenty of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horn Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 * Signed * Unfortunately the screaming part at the end of the song sounds good on album version only... her "screaming" in VMA & Live8 performance's made me cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityMax Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Madonna's music gives rhythm to the rhythmless, and the Oprah performance is a perfect example of that. Some audience members are barely containing themselves. I like this version better than when she played it on tour. That was definitely the day to be at the Oprah show.

IsaacHarris Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Actually, I want Madonna to go full-force with some late 70's inspired, acoustic, classic rock kinda music. But back on topic: ^ The final scene of the video (when she's in the club, bathed in green light) is one of my favorite music video moments!
