I've always thought these two songs took on  similar tones sound wise and in meaning. However, one I love (This UseTo Be My Playground) and one I don't (Take A Bow). I know....unpopular opinion. However, I love the Take A Bow video (I love the filming, the story telling, the fashion, and the bullfighter) compared to the This Use To Be My Playground video(beautiful but which seams lame a little in comparison). 

So,which song and video do you prefer the most from these two songs?

I’m totally with you - I never loved take a bow that much either - it’s too much a baby face song and by then his productions sounded really tired - it reminded me too much of Mariah Carey’s song - never forget you which was released a year before - production wise I much prefer shep s this used to be my playground but I’m sure I’m in the minority- I like the melody of TAB just not the production so much sorry ?

Take a Bow - pretty much classic Madonna. Seriously Madonna + Latin = perfection!

 

TUTBMP sounds like a funeral or high school graduation song.

Both are beautiful and sonically rich but Playground makes me cry. As I've said before I like it when she specifically adresses something that touches her, although it must have been only the movie that inspired her for this one. And I don't know, passage of time can be so cruel and it only leaves us with memories to heal the pain. Take a bow, I don't know what it's about.
