Geiger83 Posted July 3 Posted July 3 On my 3rd listen and this song just clicked with me. I don't mean this in a wrong way, but this song has something of a church/ gospel / religious feel to it which I like very much Quote

Andra Posted July 3 Posted July 3 I see inside your soul And I feel whole We were so lost As children we would dream We thought we'd run away And we'd be free Quote
runa Posted July 3 Posted July 3 I have this on repeat this morning. This is so heartbreaking. And in some way I can relate to it so much. As a kid I also wanted to run away so much and be free. Ok, I'm crying again................ Quote
jonski43 Posted July 3 Author Posted July 3 Clara Amfo just played this on Radio 2! Sounded really good. Quote
FreeMySoul Posted July 3 Posted July 3 Don’t forget to be happy those are the last words my father said to me before he passed away he passed away opening night of the Celebration tour in Brooklyn Quote

strictmachine Posted July 4 Posted July 4 Such a beautiful song to transition into the slower moments of the album. giving me ABBA vibes. Not sure I get the comparisons to frozen from the initial reviews. Quote
impr3ssive_instant Posted July 5 Posted July 5 Probably my favorite song on the album. When the bridge comes it with vocoded voice "And I hope you found a higher ground" I ascend to another realm Quote
nightcutter Posted July 5 Posted July 5 I like how she is singing in a slightly child-like voice, as though she is taking herself back in time to when she and Christopher were adventurous and enjoying play together, before things could ever get serious as adults. Quote
dollhouse Posted July 5 Posted July 5 this might just be the most beautiful thing she ever recorded Quote

Ekubo Posted July 6 Posted July 6 I love this song. The way she brought so much of her personal history and feelings in this record (Betrayal, Fragile, The Test) is touching. She really proved that dance music is not superficial. Quote
jjmor95 Posted July 6 Posted July 6 This is the strongest song on the album. Beautiful, heartbreaking, dark. The instrumentation echoing back to the Ray of Light era. It makes me reflect on my relationships with my own family members. Quote
svperstar Posted July 7 Posted July 7 As much as I love it, I'm having a hard time going out of my way to listen to it... the emotions on it are so raw, so grief-stricken. I'm a blubbering mess by the time she gets to the "I hope you found a higher ground" part. Quote
markm Posted July 7 Posted July 7 One of the best songs on the album. Her vocal delivery is on point I know you're fragile Cause you've been hurt Been let down You couldn't be yourself now You've been hurt before Quote
Sanctuary1995 Posted July 7 Posted July 7 I couldn’t fall asleep last night as this song was torturing me in my head the whole time Quote
mtzlplk Posted July 7 Posted July 7 Oh, gawd... the last time I cried to a MADONNA song was Promise To Try and Oh Father, and In This Life... and now this... That whole bridge really got me... especially now that my relationship with my sister is a little strained. Quote
Mozo1 Posted July 7 Posted July 7 I was not expecting so many tears with CII. Fragile is just so heartbreaking and beautiful. Makes me think of my brother who passed so long ago now. Quote

Makes me think of my brother who passed so long ago now. Hugs. The song hopefully brings you catharsis. The pain of losing a loved one may dull but will never go away. We can only manage it at best. The poignant "Fragile" also reminds me of a Mylene Farmer track "Pas Les Temps de Vivre" (1999), a song dedicated to a brother whom she lost in a car accident. Quote
