Madonna - Drowned World/Substitute for Love (William Orbit's 2013 Reverie Mix)

Madonna's 1998 single Drowned World/Substitute for Love is one of our all time favourite singles by her. In fact, one of our all time favourite tracks period. The melancholy paired with tenderness and amazing ethereal qualities makes this such a beautiful song. Reflecting back on your life to find you've replaced love in your heart with materialistic values, pushing people away perhaps to get what you want. Regretting it. That is quite some topic! William Orbit is the legendary co-pilot behind the whole Ray of Light album project and today some 15+ years later he's offering this brand new reverie mix of it. The gorgeous pulsation of life and finding the light is just what is needed on a dark Sunday a week away from Christmas. It's almost painfully beautiful to be honest. The extended vertebral column of the song with those notes of joy and sorrow is almost too much beauty to listen to for a music lover. Amazing!
