I'm a bit obsessed with this album at the moment. Ever since I got the vinyl last month I can't stop playing it. This is now one of my favourite albums of hers!

What about the Prince/Sheila E song Bedtime Story?

I thought maybe they had got the idea from Madonna but clearly not as that song predates this by about 10 years so perhaps if anything Madonna got the idea of the title from them?! A good song. Lots of backwards effects in it too.

Have you ever looked up "bedtime story" or "bedtime stories" on something like Spotify or iTunes Store?

I feel like prince wouldn’t have wanted his music on Spotify

But... we're talking about Madonna's Bedtime Stories album.

Always loved this pic of her with the trombone. She did a shoot for Madame X where she fondles a sax. I don't recall any brass instruments on Bedtime Stories tbh.

LOL what kinda voodoo is going on with this pic? it either posts huge and skewed or not at all. Have a look if you dare.

Secret

Things haven't been the same
Since you came into my life
You found a way to touch my soul
And I'm never, ever, ever gonna let it go

Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me

Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret

You gave me back the paradise
That I thought I lost for good
You helped me find the reasons why
It took me by surprise that you understood
You knew all along
What I never wanted to say
Until I learned to love myself
I was never ever lovin' anybody else

Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me

Something's comin'...

Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret

Mmm mmm
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret

Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me

Mmm mmm
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret

Her titties were at maximum juiciness during this and the previous eras.

"Inside of Me" isn't just my personal favorite, I feel it's the track that best encompasses the overall sound of the record... I've won over some non-believers with that one. Just fantastic.

it's my favorite track on the album.
