No one can get it out of my head that this will always be Madonna's best song of all time. Probably the song that most conveys the vibe of the late 90s with this TB-303 synthesizer running wild in the song and giving it a danceable vibe (very typical of electronic music from that time), but at the same time pleasant. This song represents very well the time when society was still discovering globalization in such a raw way, driven by the emergence of new technology called the internet that was spreading and making people's lives and the world around them very accelerated. Today, in 2023, we see many of the evils that the Internet can bring to society, but at that time I still believe that people still knew how to use the Internet in a good way, so much so that there was a boom in global economic growth in the early 2000s (even with September 11th...) This song literally represents very well the new world that society was entering, which was the 21st century. An increasingly connected and digital world, which if you don't pay attention will see your life go by so quickly without you noticing (Especially for those who lives in a large urban center) I'm saddened by the decline in Madonna's musical level since the 2010s until today. Celebration was his last really good single. But if through her present Madonna has not immortalized herself, through her past she has already achieved that.

One of my favorite songs and it’s 2024 grew up on this and I’m 35

Such a nostalgic song - a sound that reminds of you of the innocence of our childhoods in the 90s and early 2000s with memories of colour and technology slowly creeping into our everyday lives. Its an inexplainable feeling that I wish kids of these days could experience 😭❤️

1998: I like this song 2000: This song is great 2005: This song is awesome 2010: This song is amazing 2015: This song is a classic 2020: This song is a masterpiece 2023: This song makes me 🎵Feel Like I Just Got Home🎵

Dear Madonna: in 2000 I was working my first full time job, changing my first child's diapers, finishing the basement on my first house, and volunteering for the local EMS on nights and weekends. I saw this video on TV and immediately bought the album. That album became a refuge for my sanity the next 2-3 years. Thank you!

Don't give her credit for something YOU did. Madonna isn't a messiah. She didn't give you money or the strength for your house or baby. You worked for that. You earned it. Her album might've been the soundtrack of your life at that time, but you deserve the credit. Not her.

Frozen. Take a bow. Hang up 😅there's a lot!

An under-appreciated part of this track is William Orbit's lean and uplifting production. "While recording, Orbit kept "Ray of Light" a semitone higher than the singer's limit, resulting in a strain added to the vocals. "She got frustrated when we were recording but you want that bit of edge with singers, that thing of reaching. You can't fake it, and you can hear it when she cracks it on the record," he recalled." - Wikipedia article on this track. Fantastic. 😃

I know I'm gonna sound like 'that dick', believe me, I totally get it, but the REASON Ray of Light was so brilliant was William Orbit. She had the talent to recognize his unique sound (from Nitzer Ebb to Jimmy Somerville) and latch on to his already, long cultivated, at the time, really-underground brand. So yay. Worked out great for both of them.

Ray of Light and the whole album are amazing. It all hangs together so well.

Magnificent 90s vibe. Madonna is the best.😊

The peak of Madonna. And the same with Sweden, which Jonas Åkerlund squeezed out in the video. A different world today and I still miss and love the energy in this song!

Best song from her best album. True to Madonna's originality in every single video she ever created. The video captures the essence of our pace of life. And includes images of the NY Trade Center towers which came down 2 years later.

It's because those living turned to degeneracy. We didn't have all these new fake genders. There weren't many transsexuals (as they were called back then).

This album helped me through my grandma’s passing when I was younger. I was also transitioning through difficulties of no longer being a little girl and finding myself. Seeing death for the first time in my life put a dark cloud over me, but the music helped open a little ray of light. Thank you, Madonna. 💕🙏
