This is pleasant, but a little too samey-samey. The arrangement is not that interesting. Her voice sounds lovely though. I love the calm confidence in her voice that started around the recordings for "Something to Remember."
@Mrlpnotiko Okay, I'm sorry if this offends you or not, but this Laura Pausini vs Madonna argument is just pointless. First of, Madonna let Pausini use her song for her album "Resta in Ascolto" , so their shouldn't be an argument of who's better than who. And as for Pausini screaming, she doesn't. That's your opinion on her. However, I see why @ptjmwa is defensive toward it, but its still opinion. Instead of arguing about who is better, just enjoy the music, and stop ruining it by arguing.
Aww I love this song-Laura Pausini's sexy, bittersweet version as well as Madonna's mature, maternal one..Madonna should have released her version too!
Laura Pausini (The most popular and representative Italian Female Singer) sang this song...a gift from The Queen of Pop. The title is "Mi abbandono a te" and it's just amazing!!!
What's wrong with this woman? Why not release this song, but release total garbage like Candy Shop, 4 Minutes, Spanish Lesson, Incredible, Like It or Not, I Love New York, I'm So Stupid and the worst song ever; Revolver?
Really? haha I didnt know this song was Madonna's! I heard it in Spanish by Laura Pausini... This song is beautiful but I really got used to the one in Spanish which in my opinion is more beautiful.. I feel like the translations in Spanish has more beautiful words.. Its simply beautiful!!! In Spanish the song ranslates into : "Me Abandono A Ti" (I Give Into You) :) Plus Laura's has violins ;D
Shed wrote thisd song for laura pausini. Laura sings it on her spanish album realesed in 2005. The song is titled Me Abandono A Ti. I love it. both versions!!!!!!
@laurapausini101 I agree.. but preffer Laura's much better ;) I like its translation which actually is "I GIVE INTO YOU" it has a much nicer cannotation
Laura Pausini realizó una version en español y otra en italiano de esta canción, para su álbum Escucha / Resta In Ascolto. El tema se llama 'Me Abandone a Ti'. es buenisimo.
This is classic Madonna. Songs like this one need to see the light of day one day. Perhaps now that she's not with them anymore, Warner will soon release a B-sides record!? Would be a very smart move. Wish Madonna would go back to quality music like this instead of cheap records like Hard Candy and awful songs like Revolver.
Thank you for making this widely available, it is one of her most absolutely beautiful recordings and I hope it will someday be given a proper release!
I miss this soft and strong at the same time face, much better than now with all that fat injection she's done in order to have a heart shaped face. We have to consider that she's 10 years older...and also that we all are getting older too. Still love her.
There is a program you can download It's called something Like "1 click you tube converter" just copy and paste the you tube video link into it and it will convert it to just the music or video and music. Then you can burn it to disc or just play it through your pc.
why didnt she want to release it? it is so "beautiful pop"...
What always amazes me in songs written by Madonna is that they have an essence of youth and innocence :) It seems that although the endless Orgies :)) and her age, she remains a child :p
try the song "Mi abbandono a te" by Laura Pausini. it's the italian version of this song. madonna gave her the music and she wrote the italian text for her 2005 album, called Resta in ascolto"
yeah, I think her last 2 albums she was trying to get more people to like her music. I miss the ROA phase, I think that was my favorite phase of hers.
OMG I love this; I first found out about this song through my sppreciation of Laura Pausini, who re-made it in Italian. Madge's version is very mature and maternal, while Laura's mourns the end of a relationship in a bittersweet way.
by the way Madonna gave this song to italian singer Laura Paussini to record it, Paussini recorded it in italian and spanish, the songs are called "Mi abbandono a te" and "Me abandono a ti" respectively.
Once Madonna's contrat witht hem is fulfilled with the release of Celebration, maybe that is what they might just do. But Madonna is a shrewd bitch. I am sure she co-owns the masters and nothing will be released without her permission.
Ok,so this beautiful song wouldn't fit in "Ray of Light",could't she at least release it as a b-side?It's an amazing song,I can't believe she threw away songs like "Like A Flower","Revenge","Gone Gone Gone" and "Liquid Love".We need the good music.
Later in 2005 Madonna gave this song to Laura Pausini and she re-titled it as Mi Abbandono A Te (in Italian), Me Aba ndono a Ti (In Spanish). Laura kept some words of the original version
DAVEJJR, they also wrote two other songs I know of during this period: "Gone, Gone, Gone" which is also incredible, and "Revenge" which is just okay. The only reason I can think of that she wouldn't include these is I believe "Power of Goodbye", "Like a Flower", and "Gone, Gone, Gone" are all about Sean Penn and she didn't want to devote 3 songs of that theme to the album, so she just choose 1. I so wish she had put them all in though!
This was the 4th song Madonna composed with Rick Nowels for the "Emotional Side" of Ray Of Light. He wrote this, The Power of Goodbye, Little Star and To Have And Not to Hold with her during their writing sessions. This is an absolutely gem! It just makes you wonder how mony wonderful songs she has never released and has demos for?
I think this song is wonderful. So peaceful. I know she will return to slower songs. She never stays the same. Dance songs will run their course. She will get bored of them.
I cried when i first heard this song, and for good reason. It is probarbly one of the most gorgeous songs ever written. Can't believe warner bros didn't allow Madonna to put this on Ray of Light. Shame.
Anyway, keep doing your thing girl, and i will always be your #1 fan!
This is the best of the unreleased songs I've heard so far.
