A great demo of an absolutely beautiful Madonna song. Plus it was Madonna's opening song of my very first concert. Earls Court 2001. Up there in one of the greatest memories in my 49 years of life. Madonna...fuck yeah!!
@Dio Ego The Re,-invention opening was off the chart..loved the book of revelation visuals prior to that amazing headstand..did you see the following tours? They all had special opening sections in my opinion...even Madame X
Yes, I was thinking the same thing like George Michael did with ( Waiting For That Day ) & ( Waiting Reprise ) I love both versions but this version just seems more sentimental to me.
just imagine if this song got leaked before the album came out... the creative process must be respected and demos should only be leaked some years later in order for you to appreciate both versions
I feel the same! I don't think I would have appreciated this demo at all back then. In fact I think the demo is must better than the released version, and her vocals are sublime!
I always thought that "Ray of Light" is the greatest POP album ever released. But now that I've found the unreleased songs from the album, it seems better than best.
Interesting... I like this version, too. But the album/final version is definitely better. Such a meaningful song. There really is no substitute for love...
What a contrast! This shows how important it is to go through the creative process and listen for those nuggets of inspiration that help you choose the best for your creations! Madonna is my muse : )
No puedo decidir cual versión es mejor, si la del album que, lógicamente, tiene mayor producción o la versión demo que sobresale en lo que respecta a la voz con todos esos diferentes matices que tanto me gusta escuchar en cualquier artista que valore su trabajo y desee entregar una buena obra musical. Lo que sí sé es que esta demo supera indiscutiblemente a todo el tracklist de Hard Candy y Mdna a pesar de contar la primera con los "productores de moda" y la segunda con un batallón de productores.
I traded fame for love without a second thought It all became a silly game some things cannot be bought I got exactly what I asked for wanted it so badly went running, rushing back for more, I suffered fools so gladly And now I find I've changed my mind I found a new religion Face the truth No substitute for love I will wait for you No substitute for love I travelled around the world looking for a home I found myself in crowded rooms feeling so alone I've had so many lovers who settled for the thrill Of basking in my spotlight I never felt fulfilled And now I find I've changed my mind I found a new religion Face the truth No substitute for love I will wait for you No substitute for love Face the truth No substitute for love I've had a change of heart I'll make a brand new start No famous faces, far-off places, trinkets I can't buy No handsome stranger, heady danger, drugs that I can't try No Ferris wheel, no heart to steal, laughter in the dark No one-night stand, no far-off land, no fire that I can't spark Face the truth No substitute for love I will wait for you My substitute for love
While the final product is superior, this is very good, too. I imagine how stunted an artist must feel when a demo gets leaked. It can ruin the whole creative process. Had this been leaked, we probably would not have had the album version.
In the terminator movie LA is nuked. In the movie resident evil LA is swamped by Zombies, yet my vision of LA is a sunken city. And I think I'm right. You both move forward into alternate universes and not the real thing. I continue to maintain my machines. They will become more manageable for humans. Love you BQM💕
a true maturing awareness, unafraid to see how people just are, the annoying environments that distract from where we long to be, such a simple place, holding hands, cuddling, kiss me... fool ... but seriously, time is the only thing of any true value one shall ever find, as in time together, or God forbid, time apart, is not where i ever wish to be found, time and time again, far to many dysfunctional shit times. Run
Did someone realized that this sounds very Julee Cruise for the Twin Peaks’s soundtrack? This is awful, it hasn’t the strength they gave to the album version, the rock touch mixed with electronic music, luckily Madonna is a good business woman
wow this is gross hahaha and a great example of why albums should be worked for a while before they take their final shape....... I wish they did that today

Madonna needs to drop an album of demos. This is amazing soaking music.
All Rebel Heart demos are far better than oficial album
Yes she does
Noob de Busca lmao no
I agree!!!
Yes!

@Dio Ego I agree that Rebel Heart wasn't the best. Madame X was really good and intimate. Roll on the next one
Omg her voice..... I have tears in my eyes.
im obssessed with the process, and wow what an album. Memories 1998. CANNOT BELIEVE ITS GONE.
I Miss that voice!!!
Second that. Wow. What a time in all our lives. 😭
I love this. I would've like she kept the demo and renamed it Substitute For Love (Reprise) at the end of the album
Yes, I was thinking the same thing like George Michael did with ( Waiting For That Day ) & ( Waiting Reprise ) I love both versions but this version just seems more sentimental to me.
I will never stop listening to this demo. It’s without a doubt so pure, so candid, so loving. I love it so much. It’s so comforting ❤️
I cannot believe i am just now discovering this version! I am so glad they decided on the album’s version. It hits different.
just imagine if this song got leaked before the album came out... the creative process must be respected and demos should only be leaked some years later in order for you to appreciate both versions
I feel the same! I don't think I would have appreciated this demo at all back then. In fact I think the demo is must better than the released version, and her vocals are sublime!
This leaked in 2001
Theres no internet that time
Noob de Busca internet existed in 1997, what kind of clown are you?
her voice here is just so so so angelical
This demo is almost like a completely different song and I love it as much as the final song
Such beauty in every note and lyric....one of THE most gorgeous demos to have ever surfaced. Thank you queen 👑❤
This has a very 90s New Age/Pure Moods vibe. I like it, but the released version is a masterpiece.
such a lovely and profound version. oh god.
I always thought that "Ray of Light" is the greatest POP album ever released. But
now that I've found the unreleased songs from the album, it seems better than best.
It is my all time fav album
Same here, and the main reason I got the om tattoo
It’s great. She had all very talented people creating it.
@@ev4875 But none as talented as Madonna herself.
The final result is amazing but this is beautiful and mesmerizing.
I just love this version !
It is lovely...
It should be in the álbum
I`m always listening to this !
I wish Madonna would sing more of her demos on her tours bring some songs to life
I’ve only just discovered this and I actually prefer it to the final version, which is also amazing. I can’t stop listening to it! It’s lovely ❤️
same!
Interesting... I like this version, too. But the album/final version is definitely better. Such a meaningful song. There really is no substitute for love...
Both versions are great, I tend to lean to this one more it's more organic and darker.
I really really love ths version
I love this version , is so melancholic, sad and so beautiful, I love, love, love this version...
What a contrast! This shows how important it is to go through the creative process and listen for those nuggets of inspiration that help you choose the best for your creations! Madonna is my muse : )
I love this version
So amazing, full of heart, authentic, touching, at her best!
1000% 😍 Freshly trained Evita voice too!
i usually like demo’s but wow the official cut really is so much better.
make me crying somuch and i love it
This is amazing👏👏👏👏
This is very pure
Gosto das duas versões!
No puedo decidir cual versión es mejor, si la del album que, lógicamente, tiene mayor producción o la versión demo que sobresale en lo que respecta a la voz con todos esos diferentes matices que tanto me gusta escuchar en cualquier artista que valore su trabajo y desee entregar una buena obra musical.

GORGEOUS!
A hybrid vocalization as Eva Perone on Evita & Madonna.
Bit David Lynch/ Julee Cruise soundtrack-y. Not a patch on the reworked version with the brilliant William Orbit.
I traded fame for love
without a second thought
It all became a silly game
some things cannot be bought
I got exactly what I asked for
wanted it so badly
went running, rushing back for more,
I suffered fools so gladly
And now I find I've changed my mind
I found a new religion
Face the truth
No substitute for love
I will wait for you
No substitute for love
I travelled around the world
looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
feeling so alone
I've had so many lovers
who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt fulfilled
And now I find I've changed my mind
I found a new religion
Face the truth
No substitute for love
I will wait for you
No substitute for love
Face the truth
No substitute for love
I've had a change of heart
I'll make a brand new start
No famous faces, far-off places, trinkets I can't buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger, drugs that I can't try
No Ferris wheel, no heart to steal, laughter in the dark
No one-night stand, no far-off land, no fire that I can't spark
Face the truth
No substitute for love
I will wait for you
My substitute for love
I luv her voice here
I love this version so much better than the one in the album . This melody is amazing ❤️👑
Beautiful !
Przepiekna piosenka
This is amazing. I love it more than the album version ❤️👑🙌🏻
Interesting version, very pretty, almost elegiac or hymnal but it does sound like an outtake from Evita.
Fabolus! I did like this version.
While the final product is superior, this is very good, too. I imagine how stunted an artist must feel when a demo gets leaked. It can ruin the whole creative process. Had this been leaked, we probably would not have had the album version.
i love era's of ray of light madonna
I always need you Madonna
Totally samples Kitaro (that sound effect). I love her voice here!
love this❤❤❤❤❤
better than the album version!love it!
this is very Evita lol
This one i love it so much. It s absolutely gorgeous and so much better than the album version ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very Bjork-ish. Reminds me of her song "The Modern Things"
Wooooooooowwwww, amazing
The final version is SO much better
I actually like this better
I wonder how they get from this to the album version. So different.
I like the album's version most
This should have been released!
interesting :) but the album version is much much better!!!
I agree
The album version feels more personal.
love the vibes. why does it kinda reminds me of abba though?
In the terminator movie LA is nuked. In the movie resident evil LA is swamped by Zombies, yet my vision of LA is a sunken city. And I think I'm right.
You both move forward into alternate universes and not the real thing. I continue to maintain my machines. They will become more manageable for humans. Love you BQM💕
Better than the album version I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG
The drums give me Africa vibrations. She should totally make a Africa inspired album - drums, deep lyrics, happiness, dancing...
the way im' gonna beating up my heart
It sounds like church songs.
I can imagine Chrissie Hynde & Pretenders recording this.
I'm so conflicted because I love the album version, but this one is addicting
It’s a great demo… but I do understand why they went with the final edit. There was so much more dimension with William Orbit and raw emotion.
I love the lyrics to this one more....
getting a 60's vibe
My Favorite Sad Songs
perfect
I Liked both versions
Essa versão é muito mais linda, que a versão final.
Pretty , beautiful , wonderful , Madonna . Don't ever leave me , either , okay ?
I have to admit that this version is better than the official one
Me encanta ésta versión. La producción es de Orbit?

So where is the drowned world demo ???? The album version are two song mixed in one song (drowned world / substitute for love)
Especially the chorus is much better in the final. This is going from kinda cheesy demo to beautiful final
Soa como música que se canta em igreja.
Natal principalmente
Soa como música tradicional dos incas kkkk como Leo Rojas.
🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🥧💫💯🥧❤️❤️
Je préfère cette version MAGIQUE ☄☄☄💖💖💖
It's a shame that the message is the opposite of bitch i'm madonna
Wow I soooooo forgot this! I'm glad she changed it... this version isn't really good :S But the real song is one of her best!
THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN ENYA SONG! 🩷🩷
Beautiful but the album version it's much better.
Far superior to the jagged , restrained vocal she put on the album.
انكشفة ثروات ابراهيم واله وعشايرهم لانهاية لها من سمسرة والكوادة والشحث وال لواكة والجداوة وال كدية والاستجداء
انكشف تنسيق وطمع ومخطط ابراهيم ولوط والعباس ومحمد والحسن والمصطفى وعلي وقائم ال محمد واولاده مقربين

Excuse me, but don't tell me she take this version serious, omg god thanks for William Orbit 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is very nice. But the album version is the best

طلعو عبارة عن جيفة ودجل محمد وال محمد
