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.
@user-xh7lr4bv7e "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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
God Bless RUclips 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.
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.

Agreed
I like the album version way better
@@burstthroughtheconcrete disagree.
@24kgoldplatedvermeilI'm dead 😂 I think exactly like you
This could've been a huge radio hit. Love it
Yes, true if only they would play a Madonna songs which they don't. Such an underrated song.

This was the best version, absolutely.
Yes. This is better than album version and is beautiful and another freaking hit!!!!!!!
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.
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!
I love this song so much. I prefer this version over the official version. It has a New Order feel to it.
So much better than the album version, sad when the demos are better than the final versions, c'mon Madonna, wake up
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.
This song is EVERYTHING.
In the evidence of it's brilliance this is just brilliant
This one made me cry...
almost too
Israel Assis exactly !
Nobody can put there heart and soul into a record like madonna,and sing it with such meaning.thats what makes madonna unique.
I did almost instantly
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.
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 fell in love before I ever heard your voice... then I hear you. .. and omg... you've been speaking to my soul ever since!!
Francesca Bus YES
This is probably my favourite Madonna song of the 2010s ❤️
Me too!
This and “Love Spent” from MDNA
I adore this version. The album remix is OK too but this one just brings me to heaven.
Agree!
Yes!! is love at first sight!
This version is absolute heaven.
The bridge lost all its magic in the album version. This demo has so much more life.
This is pure madonna
Madonna's best song
what gorgeous lyrics ...
What a song!!!! and surely no one will know about it... precious!!!
Madonna's Best...
I’m obsessed w this version. Happy birthday Madonna!
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
This part is like the choir of angels in the sky!
Best Madonna song ever!??? I think so 🙌
I prefer this version, is magical
This is so pure
Love this version.
This song is great ! Should have been the lead single !
I love riding this 80s skatersurferdiscopunkdonnaanthem!
I can't get enough of this happy version, I feel like dancing, yeah.
Beautiful
Great version
This is so, so lovely. Such a shame she hasn't progressed this sound for the final version.
The chorus on this is fantastic. This blended with the final for the versus would have been amazing.
Песня просто супер
So MUCH BETTER than album version 😢💔
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.
Zachary Moody Madonna recorded demo first, her intention was to be inclued on the album till the album leaks, so ...
I love this version!!
I actually prefer this version of the song. its got an ABBA feel to it.
madonnaboy2000 the official version sounds like a 70s disco song
I hear some New Order feel too
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. 😔
OMG ! I hear it for the first time. It's so great ! OMG !
i love this version, is much better than album. Very electro!
amazing demoooooo!!!!!
I wish you would release all these extra songs. Love you Madonna ❤️❤️❤️❤️ God bless you and your loved ones always ❤️❤️❤️❤️
i love this song!!!!
Infectious from beginning to end! Worth every second. All Hail Louise!
I love you just the way you are, with your beautiful scars. It's your wounds that haven't healed that concern me, Madonna....
Most of the demos are better then most of the songs she released from rebel heart
Ghost town is only single was good . Never let you go would of been smash hit
Guess, the fact that her music was stolen caused the creation something different...
Best demo's in my opinion are this version of Beautiful Scars, Alone With You, Two Steps Behind Me, Revolution and Never Let You Go
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 with all this
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.
So agree Matt. Very surprised this one has been left off. I also love Back That Up - very 90´s.
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
Wish she'd released this, especially this version. Absolutely love it.
love this song
The Madonna i love
loooooooove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait to see her live!!xxxxxxxxx
I love you with your scars Madonna
The demo is way better than the finished song
I feel in love
i love you madonna
I love this one YEEES ... love the poetic lyrics " I think you re confusing me with somebody else" 😍
Such an alternative 90's vibe to this track! Should have been a single and should have been the album version .
This gem
this version is less bubble gum-ish and more impactful.
L'Acadien en titi but i love both versions
this version has more heart and fits the lyrics way better.
This should of been lead single
Gorgeous song
I love you Madonna thank you :)
BOTH ARE PERFECT THE WAY THEY ARE. JUST AS THE ARTIST, WHO IS THE QUEEN THAT PERFORMS THEM!!!
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.
This is like an extended version. With all the plethora of track on the RH album, this could have been a great single or at least a b-side
I LOVE THIS SONG!!! AMAZING!
pure gold.
I love this so much, why oh why didn't she release this? Blondie meets Madge!
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.
I think, one of the best track of the new album
This is absolutely great and it should have been on the album.definitely
Both versions are good, but this one has more heart, the other one feels like is more superficial...
exactly
Yeah!! Absolutely!
I profere this one too .. i wish it replaced ' bitch im madonna'
EdunchiVEVO i love the disco sound on the official version, it might be my favorite song
Fact...i relate to this song a lot
Yay! Another masterpiece from Madge. A song based on authenticity…..if they don’t like it, their loss!
Madonna would have most singles in history if she would just release them
Almost reaches the heart of I'll remember
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.
total AGREE
This isn't the official version? Where did you hear the official version?
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?
her EGO? could the thought that she didn't go with this because it LEAKED fit in your stupid little brain?
Lasse de Vries that would be a stupid reason.
Adorei essa versão! ❤❤❤
Tds as Demos do RH são melhores que o álbum
Noob de Busca
Pena que vazaram. Hacker desgramado. Esse álbum é perfeito
I see neither flaws nor scars through these love colored eyes
Love this version, thanks ❤
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
The lyrics are so relatable
Way better then the album version ❤
Madge meets New Order. Stellar track. I don't know what was she thinking when she left out this and the REBEL HEART original version.
Reminds me of a Bowie or Fleetwood track.. love both versions though
I love this Song so mutch🤍🖤👸🏼🏳️🌈💯
Really love this song x
this is excellent better than album version
Couldn't agree more. The "final" album version ruined this track.
Asia Homes (HK) Consultancy i disagree
LINDO
i love this version ....please...please
I like this song!!!^0^
God Bless RUclips 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.
Nice song, madonna :)
how can this song be so wonderful, this version would be ideal
a rainha voltou
Rebel Heart is one of Madonna's best albums ever, but this version is sooooo much better then the final version.
hermosa version
This version is better than the official =(
я просто готов заплакать,почему эти песни не попали в основной альбом???
