To me this version is the ultimate Substitute for Love. The humming at the end is tearjerking, all the beautiful chimes and sublime guitars. ‘Reverie’ is a daydream; this interpretation is stunning. Even though I don’t follow a faith, this makes you oddly feel closer to letting go and believing you’ve found you’re religion. This was and always will be the BEST era of Madonna.
Definitely William Orbit’s best work. Madonna has spent decades gifting the world one masterpiece after another. It’s impossible to pinpoint what her very best work is.
Drowned World was my first Madonna concert even though I had tried to attend earlier shows. This song holds a special place because it was the soundtrack to seeing her in person for the first time. Her rising above the crowd and smoke will never be forgotten.
Oh my days this is SPECIAL! Put your earphones in and sit in a darkened room and let this masterpiece wash over and you and i dare you not to listen over and over. Music at its finest!
Awwww an old love....look back with fondess and nostalgia. Be happy to have those memories and enjoy them. Dont be sad for losing it. Be happy because it happened and that you get to listen to songs like these to take you back to that moment. Thats a real time machine!
@@m.saberhagen502 i WAS 7 YEARS IN SOUTH AMERICA I wish i could have lived in that time. Cause I think i would never be able to see her on a concert :(
The real name for the album it was going to be named: The Drowned World. The point is that at that time Madonna had her newborn daughter, what happens, at that time Madonna was very involved in spiritualism, and she said in an interview for Vanity that the Halle Boop comet was a sign that the album was a ray of spiritual light in her life, in fact the comet was seen all over the planet in April 1997, the year Madonna was recording the album. That's why she changed its name, the reason was the light of the comet and the birth of her daughter.
Madonna and her albums from Ray of Light until Confessions on the Dancefloor was together with Michael Jackson some of the world's absolute best and timeless pop culture products. I miss the year 2000...
And Brian Transeau, I’m still looking for the promo only edit of BT & Sasha’s Bucklodge Ashram Remix. But I do have the promo only Radio Edit of Drowned World in addition to the full version of the BT & Sasha mix.
This sounds like someone combined the instrumental of the album version, with the album version, and added over-samples of the instrumental, as snippets were pulled and repeated over and over. I cannot help but wonder since I didn't see any notification or documentation or citation of how this is "official"... Kind of funny how William Orbit doesn't even recognize it. --M.
Belle chanson c’est triste .. c’est parce que Madonna savait que ses amours ou ses amis profitent d’elle .. elle ne dit rien mais elle va reculer... vu après cette chanson elle a agrandi sa famille ..
WE NEED that Veronica Electronica album. Don’t think we’ve forgotten.

Your explanation of this is so beautiful and true. Every word you nailed it.
spot on Kev
Well said
I think you have misunderstood the lyrics. What she meant Was that she Was at a closure and ahead of her time.
@@evainheaven i have the Ray pf light symbol tattooed on my body. Im pretty sure i know the lyrics and the meaning of the album by now lol thanks.
I think Ray of Light might be both Madonna's and William Orbit's best work.
Definitely William Orbit’s best work. Madonna has spent decades gifting the world one masterpiece after another. It’s impossible to pinpoint what her very best work is.
@@remingtongraves it is and that’s ray of light. confessions is a close runner up tho
Madonna was never more powerful at this time. Both her and her music were something to be in awe of.
The Gman Nailed it. Well said!👍
Thank William Orbit
Absolutely. It was God-like. You are so spot on with your comment. It was spiritual, divine, holy, energetic, tribalistic, emotional and real.
Right on, M at her best.
God I miss this Madonna.
That sense of mysticism in that intro is magical 💮
I can listen to that intro over and over and not get tired of it.
For me Ray Of Light was a magical time
Kai Ciccone yup, simply unreal..
Same here!
Zephyr in the sky at night...!
Her best album ever to date, EVER! Happy times then.
Indeed... it was pure magic
Everything William Orbit touches turns to gold. One of the best producers in history. Nice mix.
It'd be an amazing dream come true hearing Madonna and Orbit once more together...
+LoveAge It's a formula that just works, I don't think we've heard the last of their work by any means
The Gman I so hope you are right about that. It's at the very top of my musical wish list.
***** Its not her that turns them down its her record company that makes those decisions unfortunately.
❤ !
the ultimate gift of bringing you to that special place ... thanks @williamorbit
😎😎 can't wait
stars are aligned
Madonna has saved me in so many ways...
Me too
Same... ray of light symbol tattoed on middle of my forearm
So thought evoking ........ William Orbit working with Madonna is like.....Receiving a warm hug on a cold day ........ : ))

This is genius. Pieces of music floating in a dark saturated atmosphere in complete harmony. Surprising, moving, deep. Simply genius!
Madonna and William Orbit rule the school on this track....totally awesome !
Trip hop masterpiece...
something about this song makes me feel instantly calm.
omg...pain! Hearing this again, after years...it reached out of the past and took my breath away! 😨 An old flame...a love lost in time... 😢
ditto
Aww i know... But the summer of 98 was the best ever. Ir hurts later bur during that time it was gold... Good memories...
Awwww an old love....look back with fondess and nostalgia. Be happy to have those memories and enjoy them. Dont be sad for losing it. Be happy because it happened and that you get to listen to songs like these to take you back to that moment. Thats a real time machine!
@@andrewturvill7145 kind words, thanks man. The live version is especially poignant and wrenching...gorgeous performance. 🎤😍😭🎼
@@m.saberhagen502 i WAS 7 YEARS IN SOUTH AMERICA I wish i could have lived in that time. Cause I think i would never be able to see her on a concert :(
Best version of this incredible song.
0:29-2:45 - What a haunting synth piece!

wow! I'm speechless! Must be that natural high that kicked in somewhere towards the end of the song.
Madonna and her albums from Ray of Light until Confessions on the Dancefloor was together with Michael Jackson some of the world's absolute best and timeless pop culture products. I miss the year 2000...

❤️❤️😍😍👑👑🏆🏆🥇🥇
Jacking back in
This sounds like someone combined the instrumental of the album version, with the album version, and added over-samples of the instrumental, as snippets were pulled and repeated over and over. I cannot help but wonder since I didn't see any notification or documentation or citation of how this is "official"... Kind of funny how William Orbit doesn't even recognize it.
--M.
i think that's why it is called a re-mix...not sure though
Who cares, its beautiful. It's William's work still.
Who cares, that version is really awesome
officially from his soundcloud www.mixcloud.com/williamorbit/drowned-world-a-reverie/
