Madonna – Justify My Love (Official Video) [HD]

Keep It TogetherMadonna37rank/position

Madonna – Keep It Together (Album Version)

Madonna’s classic “Keep It Together.” While many of her works emphasize entertainment, this song is different—an emotional piece imbued with a very heavy message.

It addresses her doubts about the Catholic Church, the failure of her own marriage, the death of her mother in childhood, and her conflicts with her father, yet it concludes with a warm message that nothing is more important than “family love.” The melody is excellent, of course, but the lyrics are especially outstanding, so be sure to check out the Japanese translation as well.

A quintessential symbol of strong women, she poignantly sings, “You left me,” expressing the sorrow of a woman’s heart.

Like Like a Virgin, the music video has a glamorous and mysterious vibe.

Promise to TryMadonna41rank/position

Promise to Try

For Madonna, the Queen of Pop, this moving ballad—featured on her massively successful album Like a Prayer, her final release of the ’80s and a giant leap forward—was the first song in which she sang about her mother, who died when she was a child.

Backed by piano and beautiful strings, it showcases Madonna’s prowess as a vocalist as she delivers a heartfelt performance.

Reading the deeply human lyrics reveals a different, more intimate side of Madonna than her public image might suggest.

Santa BabyMadonna42rank/position

MADONNA – SANTA BABY

Madonna, an artist who achieved worldwide popularity from the 1980s through the 1990s with her flashy fashion style and musicality.

When it comes to her Christmas songs, many people probably think of Santa Baby.

Although it’s often assumed to be her song, it originally belongs to Eartha Kitt, who was also active as a burlesque dancer.

Both versions emphasize a sexy image and are crafted as adult-oriented works.
