RUADJAI 14,978 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Joan of Arc has become my favorite I think. It's the song I feel has the most heart. The most genuine. HeartbreakCity is right behind. Its got this 90's Moby vibe. I would maybe like Messiah better if it was recorded/mixed properly. Her vocal gets High pass filtered right before the second chorus and just kills the vibe. Not to mention the distortion on her vocal and the fact it sounds it was recorded on a laptop mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madaboutM 474 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Depends on the day. I love "Inside Out" (demo version), because it's so honest about human vulnerabilities. Also 'Borrowed Time' (not technically a ballad?) cause it had so much potential as both a slow song and a dance anthem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy 7,613 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Imma weigh things here: 1. Ghosttown - slow, emotional and radio friendly actually since I hear this song played a couple of times in the radio here and the concept of the post - apocalyptic world makes me wonder if there would still be a little love left 2. Joan of Arc - slightly upbeat (the demo version is slower in terms of the beats), sad yet empowering song about being having at least one person to love you for who you are instead of countless number of people loving you for what you are 3. Heartbreak City - underrated, slow, Love Don't Live Here Anymore's younger sister, about having nothing left for yourself after a break up and admitting the failures in the relationship that led to being broken 4. Wash All Over Me - slow, Game of Throne - ish (which I adore), medieval - like production and eargasmic song about letting life decide the fate one shall have but for as long as you lived the life you wish to have, a "come what may" kind of a song (the demo version can choke on the production) 5. Messiah - Ray of Light - like production and aura (although a little touch of William Orbit is welcomed), Avicii produced, gospel song about being the light towards those who are in need of such I have to admit, Rebel Heart is as strong in terms of the quality of the songs as Music and Confessions on a Dance Floor but of the five, Wash All Over Me takes it all for me. The demo version can quiver on the album version's production and the overall message is well - presented. madgefan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelHeartbreak 407 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 HeartBreakCity This song is a prime example of "Madonna Magic" On paper its an eyeroll, cheezy lyrics and low-impact song title... Then hearing it, its sonic simplicity is a perfect choice for M's stellar vocal delivery. The "Now I----I-I-I-I-I-I-----I'm in the middle of Heart Break City.." chorus is one of those Madonna songs that I have lived for all these years. There's certain phrasing choices and the patented Madonna melodies that are like an audio fingerprint to my ears. Honestly the Rebel Heart album will remain one of my favorites for years to come. There are some amazing songs that no doubt will be overlooked down the road, but seeing HBC on the Rebel Heart Tour (esp w/ the LDLHA addition) will be one of those 'had to be there' moments, and it struck the same chord with me each time i saw it live, and it still does when i hear it on the album.

Bobo 1,218 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Whilst, lyrically, I do love Heartbreak City, VVV, Ghosttown, WAOM, RH, HT and many others on this album, production-wish I would have preferred a more Patrick Leonard approach to the songs in the final versions. My favourite songs from the sessions weren't actually on the album. Never Let You Go because of the lyrics, vocals and production, even for a demo. It's just sweet and sad at the same time. A portion of the lyrics reminds me of Dancing With Myself by Schiller (whom I always wished she worked with). Tragic Girl, to me, is sublime in its lyrical content and delivery, a vulnerable quality I hadn't heard since the TPOG demo.

MerBoy13 577 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Do the unreleased ballads count? If so my favourite ballads from the album and outtakes are Ghosttown, Never Let You Go, Joan Of Arc (Acoustic) Heaven, Tragic Girl, Heartbreak City (Swear End), Messiah (Longer version) the one on the album is far too quick.

dylanlioncourt 5,780 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Tragic Girl is beautiful and the lyrics hit the heartstrings. Not sure what the remix was supposed to be. Roy and Bobo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madgefan 10,150 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I always thought that if Adele had sung one of these songs you all mention, they would all have become hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
