Jem & Guy Sigsworth - Silly Thing (Madonna's Nothing Fails Demo)

Holy trinity! We love Guy Sigsworth body of work with amazing people like Björk and we listened to Jem's It's Amazing lot in mid 2000's. Together they wrote what would eventually become Madonna's 2003 single Nothing Fails from her American Life album. We have listened to it a lot over the years, and have always considered it a Madonna highlight and as a beautiful lullaby about life and love. Sooo, imagine our surprise when the demo was released by Guy himself the other day more than 10 years after it was recorded. Can we just say this sounds way beyond a demo! We're crazy about the violin and how amazing Jem's vocals are. It definitely stands on its own two feet. Amazing to hear these wonderful lyrics (slightly different) against this background, as the released version's music differs greatly. In the end it was produced by M along with Mirwais and Mike Stent. Awesome midweek surprise! Thoughts?
