It’s delivered like a nursery rhyme. She sings it like a child until eventually reaching release and resolve through surrender.
This song is criminally underappreciated. With Nothing fails, it's the best song from American life ❤️
Don’t Forget Intervention
A terrible song from a forgettable album
@@taintedlife2618 oh yes! It's my 3rd fave and Love profusion a close 4th
@@riaanbehr7976yes that song grew on me.
@@richardc8795it’s not a great album for immature people. May I recommend Hard Candy
American Life is her best album (IMO). People are slowly becoming aware of it. Saying that it has taken 20 yrs! The drama surrounding the title track totally overshadowed everything. It's an amazing, heartfelt experience of an album. Especially Intervention & X static process, Love Profusion. All masterpieces. It's hard to have a favourite Madonna album as she has so many contenders. Glad you are enjoying!
Mother and Father, and Nobody Knows Me-from American Life-are 2 of my top 10 fave Madonna songs. But you’re right, it took some time for me to fully appreciate this album-the title distracts from how good the messaging and production went into each song here.
She raised her vocals to sound child like..an incredible risk that I think pays off big time for a song like this. You should react to her live version on the Today Show back when Matt Lauer was hosting. It's acoustic and it will give you goosebumps I promise
I can't imagine an acoustic version of this! I'll definitely check it out
@@bridgethegapreactions I think you'll love it. I think the American Life Era was her best vocally with her live performances.
Like everyone said , the acoustic live performance of this song from todays show is just amazing. Just her sitting on a chair with her guitar ❤
American Life is my favourite Madonna album.. it's lyrics are so inspiring. I'm glad it's gaining more respect as time of passes
Your favourite? How is that possible when it’s her worst record. He barely sold, and you’ll never hear her perform any song from this album on her tours.
@@richardc8795 the lyrics resonate with me. Despite it's lack of commercial appeal I enjoy the songs, the production and it's overall message. I'm a huge fan of her work but she's an artist not an entertainer and even she knows not every album will appeal to every fan
@@richardc8795 be serious please 🙄
@@David-le3yr Many thought that album marked the end of her career. I guess somebody had to like it. 😆
@@escapingboredom6958
Umm… serious, and also correct. Duh
The live performances of this song; Re Invention Tour & Good Morning America are very emotional
YESS!! THE LIVE PERFORMANCE IS UNBELIEVABLY GOOD!!!
Yes! Live performance, awesome
I’ve suggested the Good Morning America version. I think this will push him to that faster.❤
Yes i remember the live version on tour where she shouts "ooo MOTHER" and you really felt it ..very emotional ..
Her performance of this on the Re-Invention Tour is one of her best live performances, hands down. Amazing vocals & intensity
This song is probably the one that has grown on me the most since American Life came out.. Such a great album..
Yes, Father you know, I’m not so free…
My top track off this album.
It’s been said that the execs on the first listen to the album said it was collectively too slow and asked her to do some faster tracks. The result was she sped this up …. And it really works!!
One of the highlights of the album, a masterpiece for sure.
The little Rap she did sounds better than most Rappers today now thats ashame the Rap was fast but u understood what she was saying, and it had meaning.

American Life is my number 1 Madonna album.
You should watch the live version from The Reinvention Tour. Greetings from Argentina.
Don't apologize for how long it takes
It is actually more fun like this!!!
What a treat this was. I think AL is really one of her best albums and that song is so poignant and like you said, so matter of fact. Thanks for sharing.
You get it. Another excellent reaction.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I love this song ❤ So fun to see you reacting to it and get into the lyrics 🎉 Madonna is so underrated in her lyrics. Tons of emotions ❤
I often don't pick up on lyrics at all, but these ones cannot be ignored!
Madonna’s lyrics are the best!! She’s always sharing her wisdom with us in a beautiful way!
one of the few who, like me, appreciated this song
It's a masterpiece!
💟💟💟You HAVE to watch her performance of this song, Re-Invention tour!! 💟💟💟
it amazing for a person who lost her mom at such a young age😢 and yet she becomes the biggest popstar ❤ M is strong. PERIODT!😂
American Life may be my favorite album of hers. Another great song is Nobody Knows Me!!!
This is pretty autobiographical and answers some of the questions you posited when listening to Oh Father. That song’s not about sexual abuse but more betrayal, by her father. Madonna has issues with men, which go far too deep for me to get into here, but she doesn’t allow for the traditional male/ female divide and you’ll notice that through her work and life, she’s always the masculine, or dominant one, even when embodying a feminine role. It’s not just putting on a suit in Express Yourself, it goes way back to the beginning when she was starting out. Though her influences/ role models were people like Diana Ross, Debbie Harry, Chrissie Hynde, she didn’t want to be them or model herself on them. Instead, she looked to Elvis and Michael Jackson, taking his manager (DeMann), keyboardist (Leonard), and drummer (Moffett) and this was deliberate on her part. Even when she does other influencer’s songs, she doesn’t do The Supremes or Joni Mitchell, she does Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, or The Temptations. It’s always men.
This is a woman who’d decided long ago not to rely on men as men had let her down, the ultimate being God, who took her mother away, and then her father, who committed the ultimate betrayal and married another woman, and it wasn’t just any woman. With 6 young kids to mind and a full time job, Silvio hired a succession of housekeepers, all of whom were dispatched by the Ciccone children, until Joan Gustafson showed up. They didn’t like her either, but she was pregnant (it was someone else’s) and she went away, had the baby, and then re-appeared and Silvio announced that he was going to marry her. Remember, Madonna was 8 by this point and had had 3 years of being the eldest daughter and “protector” and this really affected Madonna, because now her father was being “taken away from her” and in a way that’s true, because his allegiance was now to Joan with whom he went on to have two children and insisted that ALL the children call her “Mom” which was a kicker for Madonna who was old enough to actually remember her mother.
Anyway, that’s a long way of saying that Madonna is both the masculine and the feminine, as she doesn’t want to cede that masculine energy or trait to a man, who will always hurt or betray her in some way. So that’s what Oh Father is about. It’s also about as she got older, she started to realise that her father was coping the best he could and I think she wasn’t ready to have the relationship that she has with him now, and certainly not with Joan (with whom she’s much closer now) until well into the marriage with Guy Ritchie, which taught Madonna a lot about blended families and bringing children into them (she already and Lola and then had Rocco with Guy) and so she sort of “got” what that would have been like from the other side.
Well at least that’s my take. Maybe I’ll write a book about her one day.
You really should, that was great - thanks! That's definitely given me more of am insight into her in a very clear and logical way - great post.
Guy Richie leaves a bad taste in my mouth after Christopher’s book. But then again so does Madonna after that book 😂
@@taintedlife2618 You sound like one of those super mediocre nobodies who feel great about themselves by hating Madonna - not intelligent enough to appreciate her from the musical standpoint, and under a video reacting to her song, of all things, it's the sad brother's book that you chose to mention. I guess mediocre people tend to show their most vomit-inducing quality when they talk about Madonna, if anything it's you who left the worst taste in anyone's mouth here not her
Some claim that this is the 3rd part of a trilogy - Oh Father, Mer Girl, Mother and Father, i don't disagree with that.
Someone who genuinely loves and understands Madonna’s music love it!
Such an underrated song... One of my faves!
If you havn't heard Madonna's "Supernatural" or " Devil Pray " do it !!
Supernatural is great
What a genuine reaction. This is what I love about your videos!!!
There's no other way to be!
I highly recommend you to hear Mother and father from the Reinvention tour, it's a ballad version (the Live album is called I'm going to tell you a secret but isn't available on stream)
Defs an underrated track on AL. A grower too. If you liked it first listen, you're gonna love it even more after a few listens. I'm pretty sure it was slated for single release etc but live tours etc sent the plans into the can because she was too busy to promote it properly? Can't remember now, it was so long ago. PS I love Sanctuary too :)
I think it's amazing how you capture the emotions of her songs in the right way.
Johnny, I love your reactions
Hey haircut… Love these blind reactions. It’s also really cool seeing how many you know as you’re skipping through too.
I surprised myself - I know so many Madonna songs now!
Great song! I love these random song reactions. Thanks for posting!
✌🏻😉✌🏻
american life, Among my favorite Madonna albums
Love your reactions! ❤
Sooo good!
Ain't No Big Deal and Don't You Know will be up on patreon.com/bridgethegapreactions early tomorrow!
Great song!
I love this song by american life 💕
American Life is a goto album for me. Love it!
Very artistic.
My favourite American Life song. Despite the energy of the instrumental, the subject matter is deep and heartfelt. The "I had a mother, it was nice" is so simple and yet so heartbreaking. To me, one of her best songs.
Where does the picture of Madonna come from? Cool pic! Thx, Brian
Deeper and Deeper photoshoot by Steven Meisel 1992.
PLEASE do Sanctuary
❤❤❤
I love AMERICAN LIFE album...and MOTHER & FATHER is so deep and sincero... with amazing dance beat ❤️❤️❤️
Would love to see Building a Mystery by Sarah McLaughlin
So Wierd I thought about this song this morning for no reason. I’m not even a fan 😂
If I may make a request of another female artist. Emily West. She was on America's Got Talent several years back. She came in 2nd. But she does a most beautiful cover of Cia's CHANDELIER. If you could please. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
❤ Love this! Invite friends and do #Madonna Karaoke 🎤!‼️
You see her live... good for you... but dont skip the M journey.... be there from beginning to the end
Live version s good on the reinvention tour
madonna performed an acoustic version of “mother & father" on the today show with matt lauer in 2003: czcams.com/video/QMMlrsxBZ7k/video.html it's one of her most intimate performances ( matt's intro question is something )
Yes I agree and this is one of the performance I am pushing for him to watch this.
React gwen stefani what you for? 🧡
Towards the end of the song she sounds like she is trying to emulate Kylie Minogue. However, I still very much like this song.
It took a long time to get this off my top 10 list...of least favorite Madonna songs.
This is dreadful.
The very nerve
