I dont know about the readers of this blog. Maybe they've seen this video, maybe not. Some time in the 90s, this used to be one of my favorite song, until I saw the video on VHS. Yes, before the time of digital videos on VCDs and DVDs and mini discs, we used to have VHS. But that's not why I am posting a second post for the day.
Like my favorite music video, boredom seems to be etched extra deep on my mind today. Seriously. Four days of complete idle. Mind, body and soul. This is bad. I have this itch of doing something. But too lazy to do it.
Been surfing the net all day. Woke up early then slept until like 4pm. I'm wasting whatever time left in my life. Wasted. Like tap water turned on while I brush my teeth in the morning, before I go to bed. But that's OK- I'm paying my own bills.
So back to the music video.
It's by Madonna and it's called "Bad Girl". You might not heard this song because the album "Erotica" was released around the time Madonna shocked the world with her famous "Sex" book (which I've seen cover to cover- Not as shocking as the media reported doh). So for once, Madonna made a mistake by releasing an album too close to something as shocking as the "Sex" book that the album was totally overshadowed by the book.
So it's about a (chain-smoking, hyper-sexed) girl (Madonna), who was succesful in her life, but lives recklessly when it comes to her sexual desires. The video starts with a scene in her bedroom with her corpse being found.
Time seems to stop then rewind to a few days before her death. The guy on that hydraulic-seat (her guardian angel doh) followed her around, unseen, unheard, but she obviously felt his presence.
Anyway, the girl, who was also a business-woman sometimes followed guys back to "do it" at their place. Some times, she'd bring them back at her place.
My boredom striked me again. I'll stop typing now. Remember- don't smoke, don't follow guys you barely know back to their place, don't bring back unknown guys back, wether for sex or any other reasons, guys dont wear long black stockings, lacy bras etc. don't get killed while doing things you don't want people to know about, it might end up on the News.
Just see the video and read the lyrics.
"Bad Girl"
Something's missing and I don't know why
I always feel the need to hide my feelings from you
Is it me or you that I'm afraid of
I tell myself I'll show you what I'm made of
Can't bring myself to let you go
I don't want to cause you any pain
But I love you just the same
And you'll always be my baby
In my heart I know we've come apart
And I don't know where to start
What can I do, I don't wanna feel blue
Bad girl drunk by six
Kissing someone else's lips
Smoked too many cigarettes today
I'm not happy when I act this way
Bad girl drunk by six
Kissing some kind stranger's lips
Smoked too many cigarettes today
I'm not happy, I'm not happy
Something's happened and I can't go back
I fall apart every time you hand your heart out to me
What happens now, I know I don't deserve you
I wonder how I'm ever gonna hurt you
Can't bring myself to let you go
I'm not happy this way
This way
I'm not happy this way
Kissing some kind stranger's lips
Abes.... But not yet.... This one's for My Baby.
Time Stood Still - Madonna
Despair, regret, and tenderness
Is what I feel for you
I loved you from the very start
What else could I do
You read my mind, you made me cry
Time stood still
And now I know the reasons why
Time stood still
Maybe you're the next best thing to happen
All the things we might have been
A flame becomes a fading light
That burns inside my heart
And like a castle in the sand
It had to fall apart
You made me laugh, you gave me hope
It's over now
Our happiness went up in smoke
It's over now
