@sixtojuanzavala This is the demo that leaked out in 2002. There are several, both for later completed and unreleased tracks from the Ray of Light recordeing sessions from 1997.
I love the etherial opening of the song, where Madonna sings the chorus in a very haunting manner. However, I prefer the original album version over the rest of the song, I think if she had found a way to combine this opening with the album version it would be perhaps my favourite Madonna song. :)
I like this version a lot better. I can feel the emotional realization of ones power after being beat down in her voice. Madonna has always done ballads well.
I also like this version more then original one at the moment. After all those years listening to William Orbit version, this is very nice refresment...
estuve buscando esta rolita por mucho tiempo para ver cual version me latia mas, y la q mas me late es la version del disco, esta esta buena pero me gusta mas la otra,
download audio hijack and you can simply record whatever goes through your soundcard and you will get it at the kbps that it was uploaded originally. it is quite nice.
i really like both versions this one is sadder, but the meaning is more poignant just like in the demo for "no substitute for love", the meaning is more straightforward than the "drowned world/substitute for love" song
Song does not sound bad, but you can tell it's a demo. The instrummental parts don't fit one to another, so doesn't the lyrics. It Sounds unfinished. And Patrick Leonard gave the final song a more interesting intro; and there's also a point: the lyrics printed on the booklet... say "Walk away" before the chorus... and I always wondered why... 'cause they printed the lyrics of the demo, not the final ones. But anyway, it's worth listening, and thanks for posting-.
It is a bit sad to hear this beautiful and haunting song.
Especially after what is taking place at a global and national level and the stuff going on Madonna's life (like her unfortunate divorce) and other turmoil in our own lives. Sorry if this doesn't make sense or if I am rambling.

This is very good for a demo. It actually sounds more like a remix than a demo.
I can see why it was abandoned in favour of the final version though. The one released is much more commercial.
