Madonna is not a vocal virtuoso and powerhouse, but raw emotion powers her vocals. This is why she is always most convincing without auto tune, vocorder, playback, smoke and mirrors - just the Mer Girl inside singing her heart out and dancing and creating beauty. THIS is the Madonna fans relate to, love, and hold in our hearts, immortalizing her in a way her numerous world records never can.
That Mer Girl peaks out from behind the iconic ego fortress imprisoning her from time to time, like a sunny day in Normandy, but as she told us, she is “still running away.” No wonder no record since Ray of Light has matched it in power and beauty.
If You Go Away-quite simply Lady Madonna's best unreleased performance! This beautiful ballad just show how good and brilliant a singer Madonna is! I can hearthe sadness in Rebel Ciccone's Voice. What a lovely and beautiful song by Madonna!
I simply love this version! Most singers use the song to belt out as much as possible which I think is missing the point. Madonna makes me feel like she's aching like this is truly her last chance at happiness, although she's already beaten down knowing there is no real hope or chance in her pleading for him not to go away.
If you go away on this summer day Then you might as well take the sun away All the birds that flew in a summer sky When our love was new and our hearts were high When the day was young and the night was lo-ong And the moon stood still for the night birds song If you go away, If you go away, If you go away But if you stay I'll make you a day Like no day has been or will be again We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind Then if you go-o I'll understand Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand If you go away, If you go away, If you go away If you go away as I know you must There'll be nothin' left in the world to trust Just an empty room full of empty space Like the empty look I see on your face Can I tell you now as you turn to go I'll be dying slowly till your next hello If you go away, If you go away, If you go away But if you stay, I'll make you a night Like no night has been or will be again I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch I'll talk to your eyes that I-I love so much But if you go, I won't cry For the good's gone from goodbye If you go away, If you go away, If you go away Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Jacques Romain Brel / Rod McKuen
Brel and Edith Piaf are better singers and their version is better. But Madonna made this song so dark and elegant, this is definitely my favorite English one. The interpretation of every single word and the emotions she put here are incredible!
For me, Brel and Piaf are not necessarily better singers. Madonna has far greater range than either. But Brel and Piaf both have that over-wrought, you've just been hit with a sledgehammer delivery which is hugely effecting and effective. And this song is very, very different in the English version. Just the phrase "ne me quitte pas" has far more desperation, abjection and hopelessness about it. Whereas "If you go away" is hypothetical and could just as easily be followed by "I think I'll have a cheese sandwich"! Madonna's version is more bittersweet and rather lovely but I prefer the demented, crazed Brel and Piaf versions. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's a case of apples and oranges just in a long-winded, verbose way! Apologies...
In her own words, "So much controversy has swirled around my career this past decade that very little attention ever gets paid to my music. The songs are all but forgotten. While I have no regrets regarding the choices I've made artistically, I've learned to appreciate the idea of doing things in a simpler way. So without a lot of fanfare, without any distractions, I present to you this collection of ballads. Some are old, some are new. All of them are from my heart."
Pour moi c'est la meilleure version de "Ne me quitte pas" de et par Jacques Brel, plus que l'originale donc. "If you go away" par une artiste qui a su s'imposer. Comme beaucoup, heureusement et enfin, de femmes artistes aujourd'hui.

Ballads are Madonna's secret weapon. She does a beautiful job on this Jacques Brel tune. Madonna Forever!!!!
wow haven't head a great ballad from Madonna in a long time. She kills the ballads. I hope to get a few sad ballads on her new album.
I love this Beautiful 🌹 Deep Love Song..Simply Divine...
Another brilliant unreleased song by Madonna! Warner or Universal need to step it up!

Right to the point! ❤
Best thing ive heard her sing
I wonder how many living popstars could sing that song in such a professional and convincing way...
Cyndi Lauper version
A lot actually
I'm not that sure...@@JeePee1971
WOW! She should release an album of old standards.
this is beautiful.....Madonna should release this gem.

If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in a summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was lo-ong
And the moon stood still for the night birds song
If you go away, If you go away, If you go away
But if you stay I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go-o I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away, If you go away, If you go away
If you go away as I know you must
There'll be nothin' left in the world to trust
Just an empty room full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
Can I tell you now as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly till your next hello
If you go away, If you go away, If you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I-I love so much
But if you go, I won't cry
For the good's gone from goodbye
If you go away, If you go away, If you go away

The best version of Ne Me Quitte Pas...
"If you go, I'll understand. Leave me just enough blood to fill up my hand." best line ever......
“Love”, not “Blood”
Soooo beautiful ❤
What a masterpiece!
Took me a few seconds to work out that it's 'Ne me quitte pas'. Lovely version.
And my favorite picture of the Queen on Vogue's front page! Congratulations, MrAndrezillo!
Amazing song and interpretation!
Wow, beautiful!!! She sounds great.

I'm impressed big time.
WOW it's just beautiful.
Now. This is what made a Diva. Pure. Unapologetic. Diva.
Amazing!
There is also an italian version by Patty Pravo: 'Non andare via'.
I loved this
Brel and Edith Piaf are better singers and their version is better.
But Madonna made this song so dark and elegant, this is definitely my favorite English one.

Edith Piaf never sang this song.
Amazing Madonna 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Je suis pleine de frissons 💕
Ballads are Madonna's secret weapon, but she does not know that ! Yet may be ...
I trust you .
Infectious
Love it x Thank you x #iVoyStyle
Maravillosa versión
She's has got with Belgium! :-) This song is from a Belgium singer-songwriter; Jaques Brel. Vive la Belgique :-)
I'll always be here for you,
WTF is a ballad ? Madonna can sing no matter the fuck you put in her face. She can fucking sing the alphabet better than anyone.
Ne nous quitte pas!!!
Best sung by Shirley Bassey. She takes it to a whole perfect level..

How do you get your hands on this unreleased material? Leak?

this was about her 1995 Something to Remember compilation.
When did she record this song?
2004
ОНА ОЧЕНЬ ПРЕКРАСНА, В ЛЮБОМ ВОЗРАСТЕ!🍓❤️🌹👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love M's deep low vocal tune which are more difficult to sing than reach higher notes
Gina Sousa Branco trueeeee!!!! Omg very few artists sing in a low pitch

A Madonna Facce Er Piacere : Pussa Viaaaaaaaa!!!!!

The beginning sounds like "The Young & The Restless" !
Jacques Brel merci...
I ain't goin' anywhere . You .
de Piaf !!!!! quelle culture.....c'est de Jacques Brel, avant de critiquer assure toi d'avoir raison!!
Lovely but can't help to think the background music sounds like a soap opera theme song
Shew Flea
Sounds like Ne Me Quitte Pas de Nina Simone.
her voice is uncharacteristically stilted on this. hmm
تصغير وتهوين وتحوين وتسقيط الاسماء الحسنى
سقوط وتزلج وانهيار وذبول الولاية تلقائية
سقوط الكراسي وسلاسل والكرامة والدجى والعلياء وال
طلعة كل سرقة ومسخ وجيفة
طلعة كل اغتصاب واحتكار وبرمجة
طلع كل الجيف والتكويك
es el cover de no me quite pa de EDITH PIAFF, horrible version la de madonna
Para los gustos, los colores.
Hummmm sounds like "ne me quitte pas"... Cute and Copy!!!!!!!!!! What a shame!
