Madonna "Ray of Light"

"If you want to succeed in life, you need to constantly reinvent yourself," said the guest speaker in one of my college courses. Those wise words from this man (who at the time worked for the upstart WB Network) continue to remain relevant as I celebrate my 20 year college reunion. Credit to Madonna for artistically reinventing herself with every passing album. Even today, at 60 years of age, Madonna will embark on her Madame X Tour in support of her 14th studio album.

Madonna - "The Power of Goodbye"

Like you, I forgot about this catchy little ballad from Madonna's Ray of Light album.  As the master of reinvention, Madonna again showed the world a different version of Madonna.  Thanks to her role in Evita coupled with the fact that she was now a mother, the world witnessed the softer, tamer, and more mature side of Madonna.  That, my friends, is the power of goodbye.
