How can life be what you want it to be

You're frozen

When your heart's not open

You're so consumed with how much you get

You waste your time with hate and regret

You're broken

When your heart's not open

Mmmmm, if I could melt your heart

Mmmmm, we'd never be apart

Mmmmm, give yourself to me

Mmmmm, you hold the key

Now there's no point in placing the blame

And you should know I suffer the same

If I lose you

My heart will be broken

Love is a bird

She needs to fly

Let all the hurt inside you die

You're frozen

When your heart's not open

Mmmmm, if I could melt your heart

Mmmmm, we'd never be apart

Mmmmm, give yourself to me

Mmmmm, you hold the key

You only see what your eyes want to see

How can life be what you want it to be

You're frozen

When your heart's not open

Mmmmm, if I could melt your heart

Mmmmm, we'd never be apart

Mmmmm, give yourself to me

Mmmmm, you hold the key

Mmmmm, if I could melt your heart

Mmmmm, we'd never be apart

Mmmmm, give yourself to me

Mmmmm, you hold the key

If I could melt your heart

Video

Madonna and director Chris Cunningham went to the Californian Mojave desert to film this stunning video, which was inspired by the movie 'The English Patient'/'The Sheltering Sky'. Madonna - in a black Gaultier dress and a black octopus wig - plays some kind of ice queen in the desert, who's left by her lover. Her hands are painted with Henna tattoos (which would quickly lead to a new rage among youngsters). The special effects are amazing; Madonna changes into a dobermann or a bunch of crows. That's why, among other awards, the video was praised for 'Best Special Effects' on the 1998 MTV VMA's. There are also remix videos; the Stereo MC Mix and the Calderone Club Mix, with different parts and shots.

Tour

On the Drowned World Tour Madonna wore a black & red Geisha-dress by Arianne Philips, covering the stage with the 26ft-long sleeves. Frozen was the first song of the very theatrical Geisha-part of the show. After a very eastern-inspired group dance, it flows into the submission-domination game of Nobody's Perfect.

Frozen was the only Ray Of Light song that was performed on the Re-Invention Tour. Compared to the DWT, it was a very sober performance, with Madonna singing all alone on stage. The simplicity of the performance however accentuated her beautiful voice. On the screen there was a beautiful video called Flex by Chris Cunningham, which showed 2 nude bodies in each others arms.
