  • BokRomanticharki....

  • I can't believe I've never heard this version. I just read the other day this song is about Sean Penn.

  • Adorei !

  • her voice sounds beautiful... she finally learned to sing at the age of 38...

  • If I remember correctly this was written @ the time after the death of Gianni Versace. The summer 0f 97 .

  • this is heavenly.

  • @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.

  • the ending is so beautiful and sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love both but this one expresses the emotion more.

  • 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. :)

  • @UKjpmb Totally agree!!!

  • @UKjpmb Totally agree.

  •  Релакс!!!

  • 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.

  • It's beautiful.

  • woow i love when she says "walk away" instead "you wanna go higher"

  • @wwyattmathew

    Me too ;)

  • 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...

  • so beautiful

  • i really hope her next album is as solid as this one was, i like the dance stuff but i think madonna can really do ballads

  •  GREAT WOMAN!!!!

  • OMG this is WONDERFUL. So simply and so magic. Madonna is living proof that you do not need a big voice to be emotional!

  • this song can be about so many things.. that's what makes it poetic.

  • I prefer william orbit version, this is the first realese with dallas austin, if I not wrong...

  • @bladimik

    It is the Rick Nowels version without Wiliam Orbit.

  • This is beautiful.

  • Freaken amazing version ! LOVE IT

  • DANCE MUSIC of MADONNA LIVE by PIANO TEACHER !

  • I came, I heard, I was moved.

  • Much better than the album version...

  • que horrível

  • wow! where can I find the mp3? So beautiful!!!

  • @Gielantje If you still would like it I can get it for you:)

  • @BinxaRooable would love the mp3, thank you!

  • woowwww!! lovely!

  • i think i love this better but love all her stuff

  • so true

  • Does anyone think she was talking about Sean Penn here?

  • @njova25 Somehow yeah... but somehow I think that on a lot of her songs.

  • How many demos from the Ray Of Light sessions leaked?I'm a pretty new Madonna fan, and Wiki says that in summer 2002 they leaked. Is that accurate?

  • I prefer the album version, this just doesn't quite have the same feeling. DX

  • the beginning is amazing

  • The end is so haunting.

  • bye

  • I love this version!

  • all remixes good, but in this remix most the feeling. so beautiful!

  • This demo is BETTER than the official remixes for this beautiful song!

  • beautiful.

  • do you have an mp3 of this?

  • thank you soooo much for sharing this video ... it sounds so much better then the original version. And soo spiritual ...

  • Extraordinaria versión a esta canción!! It´s my favorite!!

  • lol

  • the best version ever!!!

  • soooooooooo beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

    ¡thanks for let me know this demo aerosene!

  • simply beautifull...she has such an emotional, expressive voice....unique

  • like this better than the album version.

  • i agree, i wish this was on iTunes

  • @bevhilhottie you can get it in Ares

  • @branchwater7 I really like this! This should have been released as an "alternate version" on the album!

  • haunting!

  • if ur not a fan why did you bother to type in "MADONNA" on the search box?

  • who cares?

  • I really like the previous style of Ray of Light... This demo, "No Substitute for Love", "Like a Flower" and "Has to Be".. They all are very special.

  • Fascinating to hear how differently the song can be concieved. I think the album version has a more positive outlook, but this is still beautiful.

  • An angel singing...

  • I almost killed myself to this song. Say no to larium.

  • Love this version - thanks for posting!

  • Wow! Thank you so much for sharing! This is a wonderful version filled with such emotion and sadness. One of my favorite Madonna songs of all time.

  • I like the walk away more than do you wanna go higher. But everything else is better on the album version.

  • I wouldn't say depressing. Beautifully melancholy is more like it. As cool as this is, I think I prefer the album version.

  • The Queen lost het King... RIP MJ!

  • beautiful version x

  • lovely song..its really good for when you want to relax..

  • Hmmm, I've had this MP3 for a few years. I always thought it was a remix?!

    Anyway, I've always prefered it :))

  • omg pleeeease can u send me the mp3 of this!!

  • 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.

  • the album version is better but this is so cute and sweet.....and this song is one of my favourite! love it!!!

  • si ami tambien me gusta mas la version del cd, aunq esta esta bien tambien, pero prefiero la otra

  • 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.

  • how do you get this demo?

  • this leaked in 2006 or a bit earlier.

  • earlyer then that i got this demo back in 2003 she should really releases these some of them are really good

  • OMGG can sombody tell me where i can download this? its is amazinng!!

  • Record it with the adobe program, and burn it to cd.

  • what adobe program?

  • try realplayer and then use a program to split audio and vid. gl

  • can't find anywhere to download this from! very annoying as it's amazing!

  • This is the first time I have heard this song and it sounds good. I personally like the original a tad more :)

  • *shivers*

    aghh how amazing lol.I got chillerzz ;)

    and people say she cant sing my fucking ass lol

    she has a BEAUTIFUL MOTHER FUcKING voice!!

  • hmm not bad but i still prefer the album version.

  • si yo tambien prefiero la del cd

  • 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

  • Comment removed

  • really nice but the album version is better =)

  • i prefer the album finished version.

  • can somebody message me the mp3 of this. it's a beautiful song and this demo is so haunting...

  • 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-.

  • I hear that when a singer writes a song, they immedietly go and copywright it... so if they change it, they cant recpyright it.

    And they also print the lyrics before fininshing them... so ive heard

  • thanks for your feedback, now it makes sense. great demo~!

  • This ten times sadder than the album version.

  • I have no words.... it leaves me speechless, this version it's just perfect!

  • I felt the same way when I first heard this demo. Simply beautiful!

  • kinda prefer this to the album version

  • 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.

  • It makes perfect sense what you say :o)

  • Thanks for the kind words!

  • Wow I prefer this to the version on the album

  • the ending of this version is very emotional. It just hit me

  • hauntingly beautiful, this is one of my favorite versions, thank you!!!

  • Please tell me where I can get this version!!!

  • i have this version if u want it

  • can you send me this version too??

  • wow... that's incredible, thanks for sharing.
