humanracin Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Love the video! ...my husband who hasn't really been interested in Madonna since Confessions watched it and said it was really powerful. I can't wait to hear the other Mirwais tracks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ursula Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Ok I'm in love with that song!!! I don't quite get its meaning yet (beyond the obvious stuff), but I'm going to dissect it until it really makes sense! (Or else I'll die tryin') It combines the right amount of creep (reminds me TOAC's toxic) and beauty!!! I love it, love it, love it! Thank you baby jesus!

YannBouch Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 DARK BALLET Written by: Madonna Ciccone, Mirwais Ahmadzai It's a beautiful life But I'm not concerned It's a beautiful dream But a dream is earned I can dress like a boy I can dress like a girl Keep your beautiful words 'Cause I'm not concerned 'Cause your world is such a shame 'Cause your world's obsessed with fame 'Cause your world's in so much pain 'Cause your world is 'Cause your world is Up in flames It's a beautiful plan But I'm not concerned (Oh yeah) It's a beautiful game (Mmm) That I never learned People tell me to shut my mouth (Shut your mouth) That I might get burned Keep your beautiful lies 'Cause I'm not concerned 'Cause your world is such a shame 'Cause your world's obsessed with fame 'Cause your world's in so much pain 'Cause your world is 'Cause your world is I will not denounce the things that I have said I will not renounce my faith in my sweet Lord He has chosen me to fight against the anguish I am not afraid I'm going to die, 'cause I believe if God is on my side and l'll be fine I am not afraid 'cause I have faith in Him You can cut my hair and throw me in a jail cell And burn me at the stake, it's all a big mistake Don't you know to doubt him it is a sin? I won't give in They are so naive They think we're not aware of their crimes We know But we're just not ready to act The storm isn't in the air It's inside of us I want to tell you about love and loneliness But it's getting late now Can't you hear outside of your Supreme hoodie The wind that's beginning to howl?

Guest Amelia aka Neutrocks Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Here's an interesting conversation to have... I've noticed that some fans on social media are upset that Madonna isn't in the video but for a few seconds. I have a feeling I know some fans here will echo that same feeling, but I like to counteract that by saying that this is a BOLD move by Madonna to not include herself in the video.. Pretty much in every music video of hers, she plays the center character in the video. It's interesting that she's taking a step back and letting her vision be acted out by someone else, changing the narrative a bit, and allowing it be told through the eyes of a HIV gay black man. I suspect a lot of the general public that sees this video will totally miss her vision, but I hope fans will appreciate and respect why she decided to take a back seat in this video by not appearing in it as much. I think her vision, lyrics and own words speaks volumes... at least for me, that is. Edited June 6, 2019 by Amelia aka Neutrocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though she's not in it, that is one of the most powerful, wonderfully executed videos she's ever done. I'm just in shock. Didn't expect a video at all.....and especially not one of this caliber. Not to mention still in shock from the song itself. Had it on repeat all day!! What a glorious day to be an M fan!! This song + video are creative highs for her in my opinion. As someone mentioned before, we get all this nearly 40 YEARS in. QUEEN!! THIS!!!!!!! X1000!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'd have to very careful. I mean the reviews are great about MX but not killers where they don't like her mentioning Islam etc, so imagine how carefully she'd have to tread in this video. It's beautiful .a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is what people should be talking about! This should be her controversy... not showing up in the video. But that would mean people would have to show her some respect. I remember back in 1990, some television tabloid show reviewed her VOGUE video and said she was in it too much (which I found to be ridiuclous. Well, here we are in 2019 and she dared take a back seat. She took her "Joan of Arc" theme and switched the roles. She could have easily just taken on the Joan of Arc role and be shown being burned at the stake, but she didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
