Music reviews of I'll Remember / Why's It So Hard
Music Review: You'll Definitely Remember This Classic Ballad!
Rating: 5 Stars
Madonna took a break from the music scene halfway through 1993, but she returned in April 1994 with the single I'll Remember. The song peaked at No.7 in the UK and spent 8 weeks on the chart. For a sort of comeback single, this wasn't a very good chart position, but it peaked at No.2 in the US for four weeks which is a lot better. The public still seemed to dislike Madonna at this stage in her career. She had not fully closed the book on her erotic sex phase.
I'll Remember opens with a jittery beat that sounds as if it's bouncing off something. Madonna sighs a bit, before she sings her first verse, "Say goodbye, not knowing when the truth in my whole life began. Say goodbye, and not knowing how to cry you taught me that." It's a short verse, and then Madonna just goes on to sing the simplistic chorus, "And I'll remember the strength that you gave me, now that I'm standing on my own. I'll remember, the way that you saved me. I'll remember." Madonna then goes on to sing her second verse, "Inside, I was a child that could not mend a broken wing. Outside, I looked for a way to teach my heart to sing." Yet again, another simplistic verse, followed by the chorus once more which is altered slightly by Madonna singing "Changed" instead of "Saved" towards the end. Madonna then goes onto sing my personal favourite part of the song, "I learned, to let go of the illusion that we can possess. I learned to let go. I travel in stillness. And I'll remember...happiness." Madonna then sings the chorus a few more times and the song fades out as the backing singers take over. Perhaps one of Madonna's most lyrically simplistic songs, yet such a wonderful ballad that proved to be a big hit.
The video to I'll Remember is rather poor. The song was the theme to the film With Honors, so we have many clips of the film and scenes of Madonna singing this song in a studio. She has yet another totally different look - her hair, her lips, her eyes. It's totally unique to anything we have seen on the Queen of Pop before. All in all, I'll Remember is a fantastic Madonna song and one of her best ballads.
