Madonna Miles Away Video

Madonna

Here is the Madonna Miles Away video. See the official music video and photos here. It is in support of the third single from the Queen of Pop’s eleventh studio album, Hard Candy.

The Madonna Miles Away lyrics and music were written by Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. Released as a single in October 2008, the music video has had its long awaited premiere on June 6, 2009. The music video features footage from the Madonna Sticky & Sweet World Tour which began in 2008 and has continued in 2009, in support of the Hard Candy album, which has topped the charts in 37 countries around the world. The tour is highest grossing tour ever by a solo artist taking in more than $280 million.

Regarding the lyrical and melancholy ballad, Madonna discussed in an interview the autobiographical significance, as it was written prior to her divorce from British filmmaker Guy Ritchie.

“That’s a song most people who work can relate to. If part of your work is travelling, and the person you are with also works and travels, you find yourself separated a lot and it can be very frustrating,” she says.

“I’m American and he (Ritchie) is British, and I have to come to America all the time.

“Especially at the beginning of our relationship, that long-distance thing was very frustrating. I also think it’s easier for people to say things from a distance; it’s safer.”
