:: aGentX confesses ::

I have a confession to make.

Yes, I have been listening to Madonna's Confession on A Dance Floor non-stop since its debut. It became my ear-worms immediately [I had even conceptualised the videos for the whole songs!] I guess that has become almost a ritual affair for me...especially while waiting at the airport for my weekly travel ritual, the commuting between office and work [which is like, 2 to 3 hours to and fro) and while humping the err... threadmill at the gym **grin**.

The first time that Madonna had the same effect for me was yonkers ago, and that was the True Blue album. I remember having my Sony Walkman [with the original cassette of like SDG$7) and those Sony colourful earpiece (of like SGD$25). Well, in those days, it was considered a decadent for a 14 year old kid to have that kind of 'luxury'...sans the iPod era now.

After that, it became an addiction. It is no secret with all my close friends since High School, that Madonna is my #1 Pop Artist of all time.

Some things will never change....I know this is one of them. So Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you....my personal anthem [of the moment],

Jump by Madonna.

[Written by Madonna, Joe Henry and Stuart Price]

Spoken : There’s only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste

I haven’t got much time to waste, it’s time to make my way
I’m not afraid what I’ll face, but I’m afraid to stay
I’m going down my own road and I can make it alone
I'll work and I'll fight, Till I find a place of my own
[*]
Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don’t ever look back, oh baby,
Yes, I’m ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to jump

We learned our lesson from the start, my sisters and me
The only thing you can depend on is your family
And life’s gonna drop you down like the limbs of a tree
It sways and it swings and it bends until it makes you see

repeat [*]

(Spoken:)
There’s only so much you can learn in one place
The more that you wait, the more time that you waste

I'll work and I'll fight till I find a place of my own
It sways and it swings and it bends until you make it your own

I can make it alone(my sisters and me) (repeat 7x)
