Madonna: No Substitute for Love [Demo]

[@anthonytetkoskie9033]

Madonna needs to drop an album of demos. This is amazing soaking music.

[@noobdebusca1757]

All Rebel Heart demos are far better than oficial album

[@migue4793]

Yes she does

[@AlexeBriand2002]

Noob de Busca lmao no

[@Madonnism]

I agree!!!

[@zanna1_4ky98]

Yes!

[@dunc8847]

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!!

[@dunc8847]

@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

[@dunc8847]

@Dio Ego I agree that Rebel Heart wasn't the best. Madame X was really good and intimate. Roll on the next one

[@escapingboredom6958]

Omg her voice..... I have tears in my eyes.

[@Eudu]

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 ❤️

[@josephproud2220]

Such beauty in every note and lyric....one of THE most gorgeous demos to have ever surfaced. Thank you queen 👑❤

[@juanbjork]

im obssessed with the process, and wow what an album. Memories 1998. CANNOT BELIEVE ITS GONE.

[@noobdebusca1757]

I Miss that voice!!!

[@craigwoodley1627]

Second that. Wow. What a time in all our lives. 😭

[@levibaraujo5911]

her voice here is just so so so angelical

[@gypsyfire2408]

I love this. I would've like she kept the demo and renamed it Substitute For Love (Reprise) at the end of the album

[@gregdonofri7702]

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.

[@gilbertianrueda]

I cannot believe i am just now discovering this version! I am so glad they decided on the album’s version. It hits different.

[@raphaeltavares162]

such a lovely and profound version. oh god.

[@CallmeXtina80]

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

[@shawnwest6341]

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!

[@MusicLover-hq3tv]

This leaked in 2001

[@noobdebusca1757]

Theres no internet that time

[@AlexeBriand2002]

Noob de Busca internet existed in 1997, what kind of clown are you?

[@Lommy9999]

The final result is amazing but this is beautiful and mesmerizing.

[@ginasousabranco5637]

This demo is almost like a completely different song and I love it as much as the final song

[@SDoesNotKnow]

This has a very 90s New Age/Pure Moods vibe. I like it, but the released version is a masterpiece.

[@GiorgiNemsitsveridze]

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.

[@jonny8434]

It is my all time fav album

[@gabrielgil0593]

Same here, and the main reason I got the om tattoo

[@ev4875]

It’s great. She had all very talented people creating it.

[@anonnymous4684]

@@ev4875 But none as talented as Madonna herself.

[@VanessaPaquete]

I just love this version ! It is lovely... It should be in the álbum I`m always listening to this !

[@TheSwissSue]

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 ❤️

[@marion6319]

same!

[@ericlabanowski1386]

I wish Madonna would sing more of her demos on her tours bring some songs to life

[@ART-VIDEO-BRITTANY]

So amazing, full of heart, authentic, touching, at her best!

[@claudiorodrigues1674]

I love this version , is so melancholic, sad and so beautiful, I love, love, love this version...

[@johnolbrias1032]

I really really love ths version

[@gaysodaniel1636]

I love this version

[@nynasargent3988]

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 : )

[@franciscovielma1493]

Both versions are great, I tend to lean to this one more it's more organic and darker.

[@11FYM11]

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...

[@AlxnderNZ]

1000% 😍 Freshly trained Evita voice too!

[@AmadoresAA]

Gosto das duas versões!

[@Chillwitheric]

This is amazing👏👏👏👏

[@rcsjr80]

i usually like demo’s but wow the official cut really is so much better.

[@fathurrahmanprasetyo7479]

make me crying somuch and i love it

[@ericlabanowski1386]

This is very pure

[@sxnico]

GORGEOUS!

[@elzbietazub9898]

Przepiekna piosenka

[@TheZuwairi]

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

[@mfan449]

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.

[@ivorytowers3211]

Bit David Lynch/ Julee Cruise soundtrack-y. Not a patch on the reworked version with the brilliant William Orbit.

[@zanna1_4ky98]

Beautiful !

[@marionusantara]

I luv her voice here

[@kellyk_artist]

I love this version so much better than the one in the album . This melody is amazing ❤️👑

[@dawgberto]

Interesting version, very pretty, almost elegiac or hymnal but it does sound like an outtake from Evita.

[@valentinomiller6251]

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.

[@kellyk_artist]

This is amazing. I love it more than the album version ❤️👑🙌🏻

[@EdouarzinJeanloubert]

I always need you Madonna

[@RicardoAng]

A hybrid vocalization as Eva Perone on Evita & Madonna.

[@jonny8434]

love this❤❤❤❤❤

[@fabiofalms]

Fabolus! I did like this version.

[@markchappell4148]

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💕

[@AygunSamadova]

interesting :) but the album version is much much better!!!

[@MarceloRodrigues-bo3en]

I agree

[@NikkiMKarLen]

The album version feels more personal.

The final version is SO much better

[@MarusaTheBadKid]

I actually like this better

[@fathurrahmanprasetyo7479]

i love era's of ray of light madonna

[@kellyk_artist]

This one i love it so much. It s absolutely gorgeous and so much better than the album version ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MadonnaMusic1]

better than the album version!love it!

[@nealneofitou4929]

this is very Evita lol

[@volpemarroneveloce5928]

Very Bjork-ish. Reminds me of her song "The Modern Things"

[@rickardsamuelsson7753]

The drums give me Africa vibrations. She should totally make a Africa inspired album - drums, deep lyrics, happiness, dancing...

love the vibes. why does it kinda reminds me of abba though?

[@Deva7]

It sounds like church songs.

[@honantong]

Wooooooooowwwww, amazing

[@modonna65]

This should have been released!

[@lucelia1501]

perfect

[@luigiferretti2705]

I wonder how they get from this to the album version. So different. I like the album's version most

[@jamesroman9576]

Totally samples Kitaro (that sound effect). I love her voice here!

[@thenook-bykz]

I have to admit that this version is better than the official one

[@toufiq4204]

I love the lyrics to this one more....

[@pekkaollila8505]

I can imagine Chrissie Hynde & Pretenders recording this.

[@josemariaespinosagil5827]

Better than the album version I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG

[@LostCommenter7]

I'm so conflicted because I love the album version, but this one is addicting

[@llandriel]

Me encanta ésta versión. La producción es de Orbit?

[@fathurrahmanprasetiyo779]

My Favorite Sad Songs

[@fathurrahmanprasetyo7479]

the way im' gonna beating up my heart

[@noobdebusca1757]

I Liked both versions

[@briansit762]

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.

[@CTG4-b3x]

getting a 60's vibe

[@cookconner9286]

Pretty , beautiful , wonderful , Madonna . Don't ever leave me , either , okay ?

[@denilsoncardoso6965]

Essa versão é muito mais linda, que a versão final.

[@CharlieJane-r5u]

🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🥧💫💯🥧❤️❤️

[@andyyolesen]

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

[@CindyVervuren]

So where is the drowned world demo ???? The album version are two song mixed in one song (drowned world / substitute for love)

[@wobu5361]

Especially the chorus is much better in the final. This is going from kinda cheesy demo to beautiful final

[@ianprestes]

Soa como música que se canta em igreja.

[@isacpaparazzi]

Natal principalmente

[@monikeesn4109]

Soa como música tradicional dos incas kkkk como Leo Rojas.

[@ethan.000]

THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN ENYA SONG! 🩷🩷

[@vanessalhrxillustratrice4550]

Je préfère cette version MAGIQUE ☄☄☄💖💖💖

[@ivy_inferno]

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!

[@manarod]

It's a shame that the message is the opposite of bitch i'm madonna

[@gianlucalocicero7997]

Beautiful but the album version it's much better.

[@aree4209]

Far superior to the jagged , restrained vocal she put on the album.

[@johnydean751]

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

[@greggsarkasian-mcauliffe2670]

This is very nice. But the album version is the best

[@asamaalabide3689]

Excuse me, but don't tell me she take this version serious, omg god thanks for William Orbit 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@davepayneflip652]

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
