Madonna's song "This Used to Be My Playground" reflects nostalgia and longing for a past that can never be experienced again. It is a very deep feeling that is sung about and everyone knows it.

However, no matter what time of day...what day of the week...wherever I am...this song brings me to my knees! I have to struggle to compose myself when I play it at work. The song is so painful yet I cannot stop playing it. I cry like a baby when this song plays over the end credits of "A League of Their Own." Madonna has pried her way into my soul with this masterpiece. It makes me want to visit the baseball fields I played in as a youngster and drive through the parking lot of my elementary school. And, I'm melancholy, once again.

Fun fact. When asked to come up with a ballad for the film, Madonna was recording her fifth studio album, Erotica, with producer Shep Pettibone. The due worked on some ideas and came up with "This Used to Be My Playground" in two days.

this song was first released when i was in high school, but now as we get older, we fully understand the meaning of this song, especially these verses.. _Don't ask them why because life is short_ _And before you know you're feeling old_ _And your heart is breaking_ _Don't hold on to the past_ _Well that's too much to ask_

This song takes me right back to the end of summer '92. A new girl moved into my apartment building, and invited me to a church youth group, and I couldn't come up with an excuse not to go. That night changed my life - for the first time people just accepted me, didn't make fun of me. Friends - the best things in life are always free! Flash forward 30+ years, and now I'm the church youth leader bringing together kids from many different backgrounds showing them that God loves them no matter who or what they've done. I think back fondly of Amanda and am so thankful for her and the time we had. I wish at times I could go back to our "playground" but know that time has moved on... Wishing you were here with me.

A masterpiece.They'll be playing this on KZread and radio stations around the world for the next 100 years and beyond.Mark my words : )December 7th 2023.

I agree. It says a lot on how chart positions are overrated and they mean literally nothing. Some of Madonna's most iconic hits are "Frozen, The Power of Good-Bye, Secret, Rain, Don't Tell Me, Beautiful Stranger, La Isla Bonita, Hung Up, 4 Minutes", one would think that they are all #1s, instead they all missed the top position. This song deserves more attention.

Songs like this are why I love her music so much. You are my people. She is the untouchable "it" girl. No Miley, Gaga, or whoever can touch the authenticity and bravado that is Madonna. Some come close (Pink!), but Madonna is one of a kind. She created her own lane. She did it despite who was biting what she tossed out there. Who stood up for her when the world despised her (or the music)? She did. Madonna has balls no man can touch (even Sean Penn). I wish I'd had an ounce of the courage she had to be who she came to be.

We all miss her. I was her Tuesday afternoon guy. I know her Friday morning fella was on antidepressants for 18 months, he took it really hard.😢

This song is beautiful. It gets sadder as you get older and friends come-and-go

Wishing you were here with me.

Lost my mom November 6 2018 and a League of their Own was one of her favorite movies and she loved Madonnas music. when my grief starts building too much and I need to let it out to listen to this. Its a hauntingly beautiful song.

On Sunday, I was omw to our favorite playground, the beach, and this song came on American top 40. I cried through the whole song... from August to October are the anniversaries of the deaths of my grandmother, aunt, and mother. All of them loved the beach. This song conveys what I can't adequately express and was exactly what I was feeling...I loved the song when it came out, and I love it more now that it can tell my story to those who cannot understand my grief...

Love These Old Classic Madonna Song's..

No matter the backgrounds we all come from, this song hits a strong nostalgia inside of you that would make you fight to push back the tears in your eyes.🥲😥

yes it does

The most beautiful of all Madonna ballads. Period.

This song reminds me of my friend i lost 20 years ago. We were young, full of dreams but some where down the road she gave up. Now I am 43, changed physically and got more emotionally independent but in my memories she is still a 22 year old

That I try and stay positive and tackle one day and minute at a time. And cherish the successes achieved in those minutes and days.

How Madonna has not won an Oscar for soundtrack songs she’s written is outrageous. I get that she was controversial and the institution didn’t wanna seem to legitimize her but her talent is colossal. She’s one of the greatest songwriters, producers, and live performers in popular music. On a side note, she won both Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber the only Oscars of their careers.

I was graduating from high school in 1992 when this song came out. It made me think of preparing for adulthood, saying goodbye to friends as we went in different directions, and faced with tucking away those cherished childhood memories as childhood comes to a close.

This Used To Be My Playground deserved an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. A No. 1 hit song for a No. 1 hit Hollywood film and the The Academy ignored it. In 1993 Madonna received the award for Best Songwriting at the 8th annual ASCAP Film & Television Music Awards.

YES. This and one of madonnas early songs “love don’t live here anymore” from her like a virgin era

"Why do they always, don't look back" "Don't hold on the past" "Say goodbye to yesterday, those are words I will never say" The hardest part of life for me is letting go to the past

Yes it does, as we get older and more lonelier, this song plays so much in our heart. We reminisce about the good times, the days of joy and laughter, and fun. I grew up in Philadelphia, and I think I had the best childhood ever. If the kids today could just look into my mind and see the fun we had, the songs we had, the foods we ate, and etc. Yes, “This used to be our playground,” this song is one the best songs ever! It brings tears to my eyes no doubt, I love it.😢😢😢

She FINALLY performed this after 32 years of waiting.......now we need to hear "Rescue Me" & "I'll Remember" Live !

Madonna ballads are unparalleled

This song means so much more now that I'm older. It reminds me of how life used to be all fun and games; thinking I'd never be in this position I'm currently in. Old friends have moved on, started families... but it seems I'm always holding on to the past... I guess that's what happens when you live a life of, "I wish I would have..."

This came out a year before I had surgery for an unexpected brain hemorrhage, causing me to go from a straight A student in 6th grade to a stroke causing seven serious physical and mental disabilities. The song really rings true and taught me a lot in the years to come.

The way this song ends always hits me in my feels.

Thank You, Madonna, for finally performing this gem on the Celebration Tour.
