Madonna - This Used To Be My Playground (Movie Version)

I personally prefe the non -movie version because it sounds better & finsihed and not like a hq demo version.

1st:
Love this song. One of my favorite Madonna singles, if not my favorite along with a few from Like A Prayer.

2nd:
I think this should be in the Retro section as it is an old song...

A song you NEVER hear on the radio in the US.

And, unfortunately, as thebigham said, it´s a song you NEVER get to hear on US radios! A true shame !

It's quite haunting and kind of unfairly forgotten for a US #1(!). It's so much better than "I'll Remember" which was a ballad also off of a film soundtrack only two years later.

this song is amazing , legend said that she recorded live with the orchestra in just one shoot , btw ...one of my fave from Madonna

This song sounds so nostalgic, I love the whole feeling this amazing track gives me!

It's a shame of it's always being overlooked... both on greatest hits collections and on the tours...!

Great song! One of my favourite ballads from M and it came at such a weird time, between Justify My love/rescue me etc and the Erotica era!

Was a good hit as well! #1 in the US, Canada and #1 for 8 weeks I think in Italy! 8-)

best m ballad ever. she'll never top this

My favorite lyrics are:

Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because
Life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask

One of my favorite Madonna songs, and ballads in general. Was addicted to it one period of time, it really touches me and can make me cry, both the melody and theme of nostalgia and remembering something.... :cry:

Also love the movie, was surprised and happy when I discovered this song was actually No1.
