So I was driving to Long Beach last night, after news of Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s divorce was announced. And I actually sad, as if someone I knew was breaking up. I know, I have issues. So I put in her new CD, and was really struck by “Miles Away” “She’s Not Me” and “Devil wouldn’t recognize”. It’s so sad that everyone thinks that it’s Madonna is the one who’s leaving, or that she was the bitch.
Well, it seems that I wasn’t the only one touched by MILES AWAY. While i was in the car listening to it, Madonna was on stage in Boston singing it. But before she performed it she had a little something to say.
“With a $150 million divorce looming, Madonna couldn’t resist launching a thinly veiled attack on her soon to be ex husband Guy Ritchie as she took to the stage in Boston last night. Before she sang ‘Miles Away’, which Madonna previously claimed was inspired by Ritchie, she told the audience: ‘This song is for the emotionally retarded. Maybe you know some people who fall into that category. God knows I do.’ The lyrics hint at a couple growing apart: ‘When I’m gone you’ll realize/That I’m the best thing that happened to you.’ She also opened the show, which took place just hours after her spokesperson confirmed the split, with her track I’m Not Sorry, telling the 20,000-strong crowd: ‘That’s right, I’m not sorry.’”
That IM NOT SORRY is more than likely “Human Nature”
Who knows….She’s a strong independent woman, but it seemed that she was really in love with Guy. Who knows, maybe she is a bitch, and he just couldn’t take it any longer. Maybe those mysterious bruises on her were there for some reason other than falling. Maybe it’s just sad in all areas.

MILES AWAY
I just woke up from a fuzzy dream
You never would believe those things that I had seen
I looked in the mirror and I saw your face
You looked right through me, you were miles away
All my dreams they fade away
I’ll never be the same
If you could see me the way you see yourself
I can’t pretend to be someone else
You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we’re miles away
You’re not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we’re at our best when we’re miles away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
When no one’s around then I have you here
I begin to see the picture, it becomes so clear
You always have the biggest heart,
When we’re six thousand miles apart
Too much of no sound
Uncomfortable silence can be so loud
Those three words are never enough
When it’s long distance love
You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we’re miles away
You’re not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we’re at our best when we’re miles away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
I’m alright, don’t be sorry, but it’s true
When I’m gone you’ll realize
That I’m the best thing that happened to you
You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we’re miles away
You’re not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we’re at our best when we’re miles a-a-away…
You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we’re miles away
You’re not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we’re at our best when we’re miles away
So far away
“She’s Not Me”
I should have seen the sign way back then
When she told me that you were her best friend
And now she’s rolling, rolling, rolling
And you were stolen, stolen, stolen
She started dressing like me and talking like me
It freaked me out
She started calling you up in the middle of the night
What’s that about?
I just want to be there when you discover
When you wake up next to your new lover
She might cook you breakfast and love you in the shower
The flavor of the moment, cause she don’t have what’s ours
She’s not me
She doesn’t have my name
She’ll never have what I have
It won’t be the same
It won’t be the same
I should have seen the sign when you were here
Under a different light, it’s all so clear
She was stealing, stealing, stealing
And now you’re feeling, feeling, feeling
She started dyeing her hair and
Wearing the same perfume as me
She started reading my books
And stealing my looks and lingerie
I just want to be there when you discover
You wake up in the morning next to your new lover
She might cook you breakfast and love you in the shower
The thrill is momentary, cause she don’t have what’s ours
She’s not me
She doesn’t have my name
She’ll never have what I have
It won’t be the same
It won’t be the same
She is licking her lips
And she’s batting her eyes
She’s not me
She’s got legs up to there
And such beautiful hair
She’s not me
Oh, devoted for life
Make a beautiful wife
She’s not me
If you spend some more time
I guarantee you will find
She’s not me
I know I can do it better
If someone wants to pimp your style
And hang with you a little while
And make off with all the things you like
You’re gonna have to watch it
She’s not me
She doesn’t have my name
She’ll never have what I have
It won’t be the same
It won’t be the same
Never let you forget
She’s not me
She’s not me, and she never will be
Never let you forget
She’s not me
She’s not me, and she never will be
[Pharrell's rap]
She’s not me
She’s not me
She’s not me, and she never will be
She’s not me
She’s not me
She’s not me, and she never will be
She never will be
Never will be
Never will be
Never will be
Never will be
Never will be
Never will be…
She’s not me and never will be
Never will be…
Even the Devil Wouldn’t Recognize You
As quiet as it is tonight
You’d almost think you were safe
Your eyes are full of surprises
They cannot predict my fate
Waiting underneath the stars
There’s something you should know
The angels they surround my heart
Telling me to let you go
I bet he couldn’t, I bet he couldn’t recognize
but I’ve forgotten with who am I to criticize
Somehow I picked the way that you won’t even realize
Going through your own disguise
(1) It’s like over and over
You pushing me right down to the floor
I should just walk away
Over and over
I keep on coming back for more
I play into your fantasy
Now that’s it over you can lie to me
Right through your smile
I see behind your eyes
Now it’s over
No more intoxicating my mind
(2) Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
I do, I do, I do
You almost fooled yourself this time
Let all the saints be graced
You hide your sadness behind your smile and
You keep your lost heart graced
The steps that edge on the ledge
It’s much higher than it seems
but I’ve been on that ledge before
You can’t hide yourself from me
I bet he couldn’t, I bet he couldn’t recognize
I still play right into with who am I to criticize
Somehow I picked the way that you won’t even realize
Going through your own disguise
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh !Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
(1) Repeat
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
I do
Devil wouldn’t recognize you
I do
Devil wouldn’t recognize you
I do
And devil wouldn’t recognize you
I do, I do, I do
Devil recognize you…
I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
I-I-I do
