4. Like a Prayer

My first memory of Madonna is from time when I was five years old. I couldn't read very well but I watched her picture from Finnish music magazine "Suosikki" and I was so excited. She was everything I ever wanted to be! So beautiful, so exciting, so interesting, so great music...

I have to say that after that I did found better role models but I still love Madonna's music. All of it. Well, at least almost all of it. Even "Erotica" which is an album everybody seems to hate, I love that too. But of course the best album is "Like a Prayer". If you skip the last song "Act of Contrition", (which I hate) it is a perfect album. For example a song "Till Death Do Us Apart" is incrdibly ingenius! And it wasn't even a single, I have no idea why, it should have been. It just makes you jump where ever you are or however sad you feel yourself. Lyrics are very sad but it's so perfect disco-song that my words are not enough. Go, and listen it yourself and remember to dance!

And "Like a Prayer", I was so amazed when I saw the video! All those religious symbols and that beautiful black saint. And Madonna in that video! She in that brown dress with black bras dancing in the middle of burning crosses, well that was propably the sexiest thing I had ever seen (when I was 10 years old...)

But still I put here lyrics from song "Express Yourself" because... well, only because it's a perfect song that always makes me laugh. World wouldn't be the same without it. My world wouldn't. "Come on girls, do you believe in love?" Do I!

(And yes, I do have also read some of her children's books and I have to say that they are even worse than her performs in movies... Please don't even try.)
