Her best work has always been when she has 1 or 2 producers / songwriters working on her albums and songs. She said in an Interview that it’s much harder to work with so many people being involved in the process now. She continued on saying that having so many producers, songwriters, and then the record companies always wants collaborations / duets now. It gets really old hearing over produced music on the airwaves now. Madonnas has always shined her greatest when she focuses in on several different aspects or her ideas that she has and works with a couple people on her music. Like a prayer and Ray of light are perfect examples of that. Rebel heart was a good album, but the Demo’s were actually much better then what ended up on rebel heart. It was a good album, but due to the leaks from some idiot in Israel, hacking her computer and songs, then releasing them to the general public. That’s why all the demos sound better than the ones that were on the album. Very sad but at least we have the demos on here. I just wish she go back to her normal way of writing, producing, and recording albums with her in the driver seat, who is just with a couple people she’s worked with before, or a totally different mix like she did with Ray of light or Confessions on a dance floor. She’s best when she does her own thing. Madonna forever!
If people who call themselves fans had either not stolen or copied the studio master tapes or had just kept themselves. But no they had to sell them for lots of money and it meant that in many cases great songs like Queen were dropped. Then songs like Inside out, they had to re
This version is so much better. The producers wanted this version on the album and she fought them. We ended up with the worst version on the album. This is gold and has a great sound.
The album version is still great imo, just different. Theres worse that made the final cut as compared to their demos, this one was not a tragedy imo. In fact, the album version is actually superior to this. Very much so.
@@24kgoldplatedvermeil "The album version is actually superior to this"??? Sorry. But NOPE. This demo is absolutely gorgeous. The production fits the lyrics perfectly. The "final" version she chose for the album is awful. Kills all the vulnerability and pop-magic of this song.
I love this. Her vocals are on point. This version has more heart than the album version. I love her albums, but some of them are over produced and taken over by the people she works with.
Am I the only who prefers the demo over the official version?! I wondered at first if I felt that way because I heard the demo first, but then realized I didn't feel that way about all of the demos. The lyrics really hit home for me.
Couldn't agree more. It was so unfortunate she had such a knee-jerk reaction to the leaks. No one in the mainstream heard the leaks, only the fans. She should've continued down this musical path, vs. the horrid travesty of what Kanye and Diplo did to the album.
Even more beautiful und heartbreaking than the album version. Definitely one of the most beautiful and perfect songs she's released EVER. Just love it!
This version of this song speaks to the man I used to be back in the 80's when I was just a teenager, but in a contemporary and elegant form. Great song!!!
Madonna you speak to my soul. .. my love for you runs sooo deep.... I remember the first time I saw your face on the true blue album. .. a friend gave me a box of records. .. and there you were in that pile.... I fell in love before I ever heard your voice... then I hear you. .. and omg... you've been speaking to my soul ever since!!
The part of the song that goes ...never say never anything is possible always been a rebel absolutely, kills me I love it... The damn bloody leaks! Without the rework this album was a complete smash
Andromeda Perseo i have to disagree because most younger people like simple songs that can just dance to or look like trash. And not artist I see today, do anything that will be iconic. They have it way easier than Madonna.
That is a masterpiece. If the album was not leaked Rebel Heart might be very different, incredible versions (as rebel heart and wash all over me demo tracks) and not pasteurized as its official release. 😔
I LOVE this version..... I wish she would release the demo version of this album.... Or at least an acoustic version..... I know it will never happen. I am dreaming of a possibility of when the singles are released, they will contain bonus tracks such as Revolution , Tragic Girl, Never Let You Go, Back That Up, (God I love that song).... and Two Steps Behind,." I know.. Keep dreaming
Yes, I agree. Simple perfection. This song is extra special as it reminded me OF ME. That almost never happens with any kind of art. I was so happy to see it make the album. However, I wish it were this (demo) version. The official one sounds like a cool remix.
AGREE! I love this version sooo much. It's so simple and it makes it more beautiful. It's raw and exposed just like the lyrics and meaning of the song.
matt phillips you can download all the demos from you tube, i have of course the orginal final album but i also have downlaod many demos like wahs all over me or holy water and of course the many songs that dont make on the album
THIS version is SO MUCH Better than the released album version! I don't know what kind of argument happened between Madonna & Avicii, but Madonna should have put her EGO aside and went with this version. The album version sound genric, dull & lifeless. This version has power, impact & it actually sounds emotional. Loving the pulsating beat, house synths, electric guitar beginning and the 80's sounding background vocals missing from the album version. Thank God this version leaked.
I think Avicii got sick during the recording process, so he wasn't in the studio with her as long as they had planned and she reworked the unfinished demos (many of which didn't need to be reworked, like Rebel Heart) with other collaborators. Are we sure this demo is produced by Avicii though?
God Bless RU-vid for letting us share these unreleased masterpieces from the Rebel Heart! Let’s all hope that Madonna will soon get rid of her career ruining Manager O’Seary and reunite with Pat Leonard, William Orbit and Stuart Price to release one more concept album, before it’s too late, for us and the whole world.
OMG this version could have been a hit! Even not being included on the album is a proof that how fucked up the music industry is and how Madonna is confused about right and wrong.
I love the album version. Only hearing this version now for the first time and it's great too. I'm happy there are alternate versions of the Rebel Heart songs. I sometimes wish artist would release two versions of the same album (one uptempo one slow) or (one dance and the other alternative). Remixed & Revisited had a few awesome rock versions of the American Life songs.
Just take me with all my stupid flaws Changing me's like shooting in the dark Patience please, I'll never be as perfect as you want me to Believe me I want it just as bad Forgive me, wish I could change the past Take it 'cause I'll never be as perfect as you want I think you're confusing me with somebody else I won't apologize for being myself Take me with all of my beautiful scars I love you the way that you are I come to you with all my flaws With all my beautiful scars I love you the way that you are With all my beautiful scars Don't judge me, just gotta let me be Accept me, although I'm incomplete My imperfections make me unique that's my belief I think you're confusing me with somebody else I won't apologize for being myself Take me with all of my beautiful scars I love you the way that you are I come to you with all my flaws With all my beautiful scars I love you the way that you are With all my beautiful scars Never say never Anything is possible Always been a rebel Overcoming obstacles I can't give you perfect But I can give you forever, oh ohoh Take me with all of my beautiful scars I love you the way that you are I come to you with all my flaws With all my beautiful scars I love you the way that you are With all my beautiful scars With all my beautiful scars
This sounds rockstar. This sounds Bowie. This sounds Queen. This sounds like something a male rock bad ass would sing. Makes me think Freddie Mercury. I love the album version, don't get me wrong. Maybe this was too 80's
