I Feel It...

In 1993 Madonna released the Final single from her album EROTICA, Rain. Rain is proably one of Madonna's most powerful ballads and best! Madonna and Shep Pettibone composed a true masterpiece here.

This maxi is defintley a good one! The only version that is better than this one is the German Version, only because it has the Video version of Fever.



The Tracks Here are really good!

1. Rain (Radio Remix): This version is much more tame than the album, they take out some instruments. Then in the middle of the song where Madonna starts talking: "Waiting is the hardest thing..." the secondary vocals are removed. I prefer the album version to this one.

2. Waiting (Remix): An exclusive to the U.S. single and Jappanese/Australian EP. This version is a bit more Kinky than the orginal. The lyrics are the same, but the vocals were completly re-done. This version also features a rap from Everlast. I like the album version the best.

3. Up Down Suite: This song is not that good. It is nothing but a 12 minute dub of Madonna's song "Goodbye To Innocnce", included on JUST SAY ROE. There are basically no Vocals on this song, except for some words from the first verse of "...Innocence", which you can't understand and Madonna singing "Up Down,Down Down, Up, UP..."

4. Rain (Album Version): There isn't much to say about this one, other than, this is the best version that we all know and love!

Rain EP

this is more of an EP than a mxi-single
1. Rain/Radio Mix: this is a much tamer version, and, somehow takes away the power of the original. It's not bad, but it's not better than the original.
2. Waitin/Remix: i like this mix although i usually hate hip hop music. i think she actually redid some of the vocals on this mix
3. Up Down Suite: this is an extended dub of a song called "Goodbye To Innocence", which can be found on the compilation "Just Say Roe". Goodbye To Innocence is much better than up down suite so go check that one out.
4.Rain/LP: of course, the origingal. very good

Some facts regarding Rain

There are two remixes of "Rain" on the European version of this release, "Remix Edit" and "Radio Remix". The latter is the one available here.
The remix of "Waiting" is fun, but not more.
"Up-Down Suite" is the most intrersting song on this single.
It's like a really extended dub version of the Madonnasong "Goodbye To Innocence" (available on "Just Say Roe") and features the first verse from "Goodbye", but heavily twisted vocals, so you can't really hear what she's saying.
(There are some who believe that I owe them something
But they're wrong, I owe nothing to no one but myself
And there are some who say they created me
But only my parents have that acclaim
I took it from there)
The videoremix of Fever is only available on the European version.
