Madonna - This Used To Be My Playground (5 Track)

Here's a collection of mixes and versions of Madonna's This Used To Be My Playground released back in 1992. Literally just compiled as I want to listen to them all in the same place. "This Used to Be My Playground" is a song recorded by American singer Madonna. It is the theme for the film A League of Their Own, which starred Madonna, and portrayed a fictionalized account of the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Madonna was asked to record a song for the film's soundtrack. At that time she was busy recording her fifth studio album, Erotica, with producer Shep Pettibone. They worked on some ideas and came up with "This Used to Be My Playground" in two days. Once presented to director Penny Marshall's team, the song was released as a standalone single on June 16, 1992, by Warner Bros. Records. However, it was not available on the film's soundtrack due to contractual obligations and was later added to the Olympics-inspired Barcelona Gold compilation album, released that summer. The song was included on Madonna's 1995 ballads compilation Something to Remember.

And why do they always say? Don't look back Keep your head held high Don't ask them why because life is short And before you know you're feeling old And your heart is breaking Don't hold on to the past Well that's too much to ask This used to be my playground (ah used to be) This used to be my childhood dream This used to be the place I ran to Whenever I was in need of a friend Why did it have to end? And why do they always say?, no regrets But I wish that you were here with me Well then there's hope yet I can see your face in our secret place You're not just a memory Say goodbye to yesterday Those are words I'll never say (I'll never say) This used to be my playground (used to be) This used to be our pride and joy This used to be the place we ran to That no one in the world could dare destroy This used to be our playground (used to be) This used to be our childhood dream This used to be the place we ran to I wish you were standing here with me This used to be our playground (used to be) This used to be our childhood dream This used to be the place we ran to The best things in life are always free Wishing you were here with me #madonna #thisusedtobemyplayground #leagueoftheirown #thisusedtobemyplaygroundlive #dressyouup #dressyouuplive #madonnacelebrationvinyl #takeabowlive #madonnaforever #madonnatakeabowlive #madonna #madonnalive #madonnamusic #madonnacelebrationtour #madonnalbum #madonna2024 #madonnademos #madonnademo #madonnabside #madonnaunreleased #madonnastudio
