Vogue992 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I'm listening to it right now, i love it so much....to me is one of her BEST song EVER! (sorry if there's already a thread for it )
tek75 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Agreed, it's gorgeous, and it works so well as a closer (I actually like "American Pie" but it didn't really belong on Music). When I make my Madonna playlists, I usually pair Gone with Nothing Fails. Two amazing ballads that flow into each other very well.
boy skeffington Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I'm in my top 3 all time. It's vulnerable perfection.
madonnasuperfan01 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 It is one of her best ballads imo. Perfect last track, the whole album is such perfection
Mooncrown11 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 In my Top 10 of M songs. The ending with all of the different melodies and harmonies is just spectacular. LOVE IT
TXIII Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I'm glad this is a topic. I was actually listening to this song trying to think of a script idea and it inspired my upcoming short film that I'm directing.
ryan Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 One of her all time greatest ballads. The production is so exquisite. A great transition piece to AL, but more profound. she is literally singing from her soul. It's so stripped down and honest. One of the greatest things of that decade.
Jumpb4uthink Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 When I first listened to the album Music, this was the song after first listen that I repeated several times. Her vocals are raw and perfection.
Guest Rachelle of London Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 It's so beautiful! One of my faves!
nick00 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Agree with others have been posting. Definitely a stand out track & perfect way to end a remarkable album.
5iVe Elements Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I used to hate this and thought what a weak closer Until i realized it is so good and i even cry sometimes listening. The lyrics are so good
Mattress Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 One of the best songs she's recorded. Her layered vocal harmonies at the end are really beautiful.
nick00 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 i like the WO demo better Wow never heard this. Interesting to hear the contrast between this & the original.
acko Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 i like the WO demo better This is NOT the demo. It has the final vocals.
pasqual Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 i adore gone...and i loved it on album and live it would be nice to hear it again somewhere in the future, maybe acoustic version
ryan Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 This is NOT the demo. It has the final vocals.Demo is thrown around loosely, but this is the original version before Spike got a hold of it.
mnino Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I'm listening to it right now, i love it so much....to me is one of her BEST song EVER! (sorry if there's already a thread for it )
Jumpb4uthink Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I vaguely remember reading somewhere during that era that Gone was going to be the 4th single. a great single it would make.
Crystal Coffin Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 The comment below is NOT directed specifically to anyone. One thing that I really, really hate about those demo leaks is that they somehow will just give some fans a sick CHANCE to MOAN, to WHINE, about how "this demo is better than the final version, Madonna is so stupid for not releasing it". I admit I sound very bitchy and cunty here but I don't fucking care. I'm not here to be loved or to make friends so yes. I had to let that out. Thank you and have a nice day.
5iVe Elements Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 That demo is great but the album version fit the Music album and is a nice lead up to American Life.
HavenHigh Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Amazing song! And I love the live version: The live version is amazing, a very simple performance but works perfectly!
