Apples388 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yes we all knew she wanted it on the MDNA Tour at some point but I never knew she also wanted it as a single. My Queen. Such an amazing iconic woman and sometimes I wish she was a proper indie artist without the shackles of a label and could just release what she wanted and how she wanted it. "Fallen Free" joins the ranks of "Impressive Instant" as one of the Great Lost Madonna Singles That Never Were. Sign up here with me please and let's shed a single tear (dramatically, with a sideways head tilt and a vague look into the distance) over the chilly pianos and her gorgeous vocal.

erotica blu Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I love Falling Free. It's very pretty and much needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pud Whacker Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 ive always loved it. the vocals have never been touched by another singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Barthes Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It's such a gem. It's so beautiful, the flute or whatever, the strings, the "solar" guitar solo by M with only her voice, the very Joe Henry lyrics...and it's a great and mature conclusion to the break up songs theme : (rage) Gang bang, (accusation) Love Spent, (mea culpa) I fucked up, (feeling of loss) Best friend and (peace) Falling free.

Wunderkind Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It's the standout track on MDNA for me. I love the sound of her voice, even if it's because she had a cold when recording it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spotlight Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 i don't think it would have done well as a single although i do really llove the song. it doesn't seem very "radio friendly". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erotica blu Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 i don't think it would have done well as a single although i do really love the song. it doesn't seem very "radio friendly".Radio has an ageist bias. For an artist doing pop music they prefer them inexperienced and disposable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt420 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 i don't think it would have done well as a single although i do really llove the song. it doesn't seem very "radio friendly". That's basically the reason she didn't release it.....because it's "unconventional". This song is one of the most gorgeous of her career. Her best album closer this side of 2000.

karbatal Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It's a very, very very beautiful song. Although I always feel that it has the ROL vibe and seems dated anyhow. Maybe if ROL didn't exist i would be on my knees praising that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promise to try Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 her albumsĀ“closing soongs are usually, in her last albums, wonderfull (since ROL?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 No, Secret Garden was the first intimate moment for an album close. Secret Garden, then Mer Girl. From then on, her closing of the albums are incredibly beautiful. RH's closing track is Messiah in the standard and Rebel Heart in the Deluxe.

acko Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Many of us thought it should have been a single with her. I don't know what or who it is...but there r people around her who give her the wrong idea...at this point in her career it's not about accessibility... & sorry but she does not have record company shackles... she's Madonna.

nightcutter Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It should have been the first single IMO. Followed by I'm Addicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Oh, my mistake. In the Standard is Wash All Over Me, not Messiah. Wash All Over Me is another impressive track to close an album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jan Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It should have been the first single IMO. Followed by I'm Addicted. Agree that both Falling Free and I'm Addicted should have been singles. Falling Free is a beautiful ballad. One of my favourite tracks on MDNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 When she was asked the question, I was wondering if she was going to mention anything from MDNA ..there a few potential great singles on that album...I love FF not sure how well it would have done as single though, wonder what kinda video it would have had.

Guest Hunterlas Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yes, the bitch knows how to close an album... Falling Free is a great example of that. Hate that we live in these times were recording companies makes their artists release "standar, deluxe, super deluxe, mega super deluxe etc" versions of their albums... its fucking bullshit. I miss the days of albums like Ray Of Light, Music, America Life, Confessions and yes, Hard Candy because they all had these clear and stunning grand finale moments.

Maybe if ROL didn't exist i would be on my knees praising that song.Same producer same artist same result. However it's still quality on an album that had very little of it.

Its easy to get confused with the tracklisting on RH, all the different version, I mean even Madonna's official website still shows Queen is on the Super Deluxe version...
