Song of the week: In which I tell you a secret!

Hello everyone! What a busy busy BUSY week! I'll tell you all about it soon enough, but for now I want to share a song with you guys! As you know I love music, and I want to share a different song I love each week! This is the first time I'm doing this, which is so exciting!!! Now let's stop with the small talk and go straight to the tune!! Let me tell you a secret!
Yes! Secret! One of the tracks of one of my favorite albums by Madonna: Bedtime Stories! It's such a fantastic record, unfortunately really forgotten, and the whole aesthetic of this record really enchants me. I really love Madonna in general and I must return to her and even to this album pretty soon! But for now I totally recommend "Secret" to you guys! It's such a subtle and beautiful song, I personally love it! I sent the link to Spotify, but if you don't have Spotify here's the link to the Youtube video!
Secret - Madonna

And that is it for today! I'm really sorry for being absent, but I hope you may enjoy the song! Thank you so much, dear reader, for your attention! See you pretty soon!!!
