Madonna | Mirwais
“Paradise (Not for Me)” is the album’s most melancholy moment: a song about a happiness she can see but not reach.
The Song
Written with Mirwais, it unfolds slowly over strings, with Madonna singing the second verse in French.
On Stage
It opened the Geisha act of the Drowned World Tour as a video interlude.
