美國流行女皇［瑪丹娜］──氛圍流行抒情曲──［Drowned World/Substitute for Love＊淹沒的世界/愛情替代品］

I traded fame for love

Without a second thought

It all became a silly a game

Some things cannot be bought

 

I got exactly what I asked for

Wanted it so badly

Running, rushing back for more

I suffered fools so gladly

 

And now I find

Ive changed my mind

 

[Chorus:]

 

The face of you

My substitute for love

My substitute for love

Should I wait for you

My substitute for love

My substitute for love

 

I traveled round the world

Looking for a home

I found myself in crowded rooms

Feeling so alone

 

I had so many lovers

Who settled for the thrill

Of basking in my spotlight

I never felt so happy

 

[chorus]

 

Mmmmm, ooohhh, mmmmm

Famous faces, far off places

Trinkets I can buy

No handsome stranger, heady danger

Drug that I can try

No ferris wheel, no heart to steal

No laughter in the dark

No one-night stand, no far-off land

No fire that I can spark

Mmmmm, mmmmm

 

[chorus]

 

Now I find Ive changed my mind

This is my religion

 

１９９８年３月　美國流行女皇瑪丹娜（Madonna）發行第七張大碟［Ray of Light／光芒萬丈］（Maverick／Warner）　獲得媒體一致讚賞　被許多樂評認為事業最冒險　最成熟, 最完美的作品

登上各國排行榜冠軍

全球超過１６００萬張

１９９９年獲得最佳流行專輯等三項葛萊美獎肯定（加上非娜姐得的最佳唱片包裝則為四項）　為當年最大贏家

不論商業（全球）或樂評　皆是瑪丹娜事業最佳之一

讓她再度登上事業高峰

 

前兩首主打［Frozen］(US#2, UK#1)［Ray of Light］(US#5, UK#2)再世界各地皆有好成績

１９９８年８月　剛滿４０歲的瑪丹娜推出第三世界（美國除外）主打［Drowned World/Substitute for Love＊淹沒的世界/愛情替代品］

此曲主要由娜姐,William Orbit創作, David Collins附加歌詞

由於取樣［Why I Follow the Tigers］, 其作者Rod McKuen, Anita Kerr也掛名附加創作者

娜姐＆William Orbit將其製作成一首氛圍流行曲（Ambient Pop）, 在低鬱的旋律中, 瑪丹娜以輕吟方式將歌曲帶入高潮後, 再回歸平靜

受到樂評讚賞

［Drowned World/Substitute for Love］登上英國榜＃１０　賣出９萬多張　為她再添一首熱門曲

西班牙冠軍　冰島電台榜亞軍  比利時（荷語區）＃８　澳洲＃１６　紐西蘭＃２１　瑞士＃３１　荷蘭／奧地利＃３４　德國＃３９　瑞典＃４１　法國＃４２

 

MV描述身為大明星的瑪丹娜, 被狗仔隊追逐

當時曾引起影射１９９７年黛安娜王妃車禍身亡的爭議

Anyway, 這是［Ray of Light／光芒萬丈］大碟中的佳作之一
