this song always gave me HUUGE Ray of Light vibes, like the reference is so obvious! Love it, kind of wish Skin was like this, a little less busy 

[Mer 52,162]

Top 5 from ROL for me: 

 

1. Drowned World/Substitute For Love 

2. Mer Girl 

3. Swim

4. Has To Be (I have the Japanese CD hehe) 

5. Skin

i actually think that has to be works really well as a closer - no other changes to the album just adding on HTB as #14 like how the japanese release is

it's like the sunshine coming out after mer girl's storm and also brings it full circle back to drowned world

I already have it like that, I know she meant it like that because in an interview she mentions how 13 is a really spiritual number and all…

 

but I hate it, so Has To Be as the 14th track makes sense to me 

 

Also wish she included Be Careful instead of giving it to Ricky Martin… such a beautiful track! Hidden gem for sure 

 

Gone Gone Gone, Airoso and Revenge are great too but I can see why she didn’t include them

Arioso  (can't remember if that was written for Music or ROL, but pretty sure the latter) 

[Glitter Boy 16,218]

Ooooh Ray of Light is truly a masterpiece. Her best for me.

My top 5 would be

1. Frozen
2. Sky Fits Heaven
3. The Power of Goodbye
4. Skin
5. Swim

[Im a ghost now 9,426]

My top 5

1. To have and not to hold
2. The Power of Goodbye
3. Sky Fits Heaven
4. Frozen
5. Ray of Light 

the bossa nova influences on THANTH

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS REVENGE… 

 

Sooo cool 

 

I know Liquid Love, Cyber-Raga and What it Feels Like For a Girl are from Music, but those have big ROL energy 

[Let the Light In 15,175]

I would get rid of Little Star, maybe release it as Substitute for Love B side. Then the album would still has Has to Be and 13 tracks.

Can someone make AI Cover of Lana del Rey - To Have and Not to Hold?

 

It's my dream cover 

[Anonymcomenter 4,401]

She has one unbelievable unreleased cataloge! Her ROL, Music, COAD, HC and RH outtakes are complete hate crimes!! 
 

we need all of these released officially even if it’s in a special aniversario edition:

 

- Revenge

- Be Careful

- Gone Gone Gone

- Run 

- Mysore Style

- Airoso

- Liquid Love

- Alone Again (hers or Kylies version)

- I’m in Love with Love

- The Game

- Keep the Trance

- Triggering (Your Senses) 

- History (Land of the Free) not that horrible versión she released as a B-side

- Broken 

- Latte

- Across the Sky

- Animal

 

Any of these is better than anything in Madame X (minus Crave and I Rise maybe…)

I remember back then Revenge was uploaded to Limewire as Fighting Spirit and majority of us who relied on that thought Fighting Spirit is actually Revenge for years
