1997年,她和制作人William Orbit一起制作自1992年“Erotica”后的第1张新专辑,“Ray of Light”(光线)在90年代末期改变了Madonna以前流行舞曲的风格。“Ray of Light”在1998年发行并一举上升到排行榜的第二名,在一个月之内,成为了Madonna继“Like a Prayer”之后销量最大的唱片。 这张专辑揉合了时下流行的电子舞曲元素,如Trip-Hop、Bass等,营造一种科技与未来的迷幻空间。
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She’s got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone
Chorus:
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
Faster than the speeding light she’s flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She’s got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one
(chorus)
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
(verse)
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else shall be there
Through the endless years
She’s got herself a universe
She’s got herself a universe
She’s got herself a universe
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light she’s flying
Quicker than a ray of light I’m flying
