Lady Gaga's "1000 Doves" transformed into a piano ballad: listen

[Jordan Miller]

Omg I absolutely love this version! 

It's crazy to me how much production can change the mood of a song. 

Listen to this piano version of "1000 Doves," which includes different runs and lyrics. She even sings "ten thousand" doves in the end. Think I even prefer this to the original, which is saying a lot!

This song and Sine from above kill the vibe. In fact, I deleted those tracks and the interludes. So...

[Ofcoursenot]

Its nice, but I understand why they change it, this chorus is kinda boring

[Jordan Miller]

Can't believe the 1000 Doves shade in this topic already. The original is flawless too

[Barajas]

This version is nicee and felt very real, like it was the original. 
This made me miss the heartbreaking Gaga-ballads she normally deliver in her albums (speechless, you and I, million reasons) 

[PARKBOM]

I prefer this version over the album version.

the lyrics just sound more personal and deep.

it used to make me tear up every time 

[Midnight]

[Isla]

I think I might prefer this over the final version too. It's so stunning, just wish it was a bit longer.

I’m still waiting for my Deluxe Japan CD to arrive! That import fee was a Bi tch! 

[MortalMarshmallow]

Wow a very stunning classy photo of gax who would’ve thought 

[Deyonce]

I always thought this version was better.

[Silhouette]

I'm so glad she included this version in the album, even if it's as a bonus track, because she shines when she's alone with a piano. She's such a versatile singer, she can make magic both with a fully produced bop and with a stripped down raw ballad. I feel sorry for the people who keep denying her talent but I guess it's easier for them to be stuck in the 2011 fandom dramas

This...talent  Myah Marie Jean who?

ok, but who's the one in the picture? 

[PartyLikeIts2007]

That's the demo, it's literally in the song title on the tracklist "1000 Doves (Piano Demo)", Jordan 

@JordanMiller also could you let me know if the Mariah Carey thread still exists? I haven't been here in 4 years 

[jcf523]

The best part of the song is the ‘thousand doves’ break down tho... 

[Spicechinodiva]

It's supposed to be a dance album. 

 

I guess none of ya wanted to dance. 

 

Shame!!!!!

Just be glad she offered it at Target.

Not sure which thread you're referring to but if you'd like to participate in mine I would love it!! I actually want to learn more about Mariah, so if you're a stan, TEACH ME:

This was originally the 'weakest' song on the album for me, but upon hearing this demo and then going back to the original, it gave me a new love for the track.

I'm kinda glad its a bonus track though, because I felt like Gaga's piano ballads were falling into a paint by numbers scenario; as an album, Chromatica didn't need a piano ballad, but this is a nice little back to basics moment, and Love Me Right is an incredibly optimistic song at the end of an incredibly dark and introspective album. The bonus tracks nearly serve as reminders that Gaga is still that Theatre Loving New York Girl with her piano.
