Not a fan. I've heard The Weight before, but it was a cover by Travis. I prefer that to the original.

High school memories. Crazy to hear Frozen and Power of Goodbye again. Madonna's voice is great with this style of music. However- would the album have gotten much attention if if hadn't been Madonna?

Thank you Internet Archive; this wasn't on Spotify. I didn't realize I knew the second song. This sounded like a bridge between the Beatles and Guster. A fun listen.

Ah, we have a cultural difference here. This charted well in the UK, but not stateside. It's bombastic, lecherous and honestly pretty silly. Some lovely pop moments, but not enough to overcome the silliness.
