Prayer - The Power Of Goodbye

Yes, this is a cover of the Madonna song from her Ray Of Light album. The original never really had any proper official dance mixes, although there were some mixes done which were done in a similar vein as the original. There were several dance-oriented cover versions released as well. The vocals on this particular cover are just okay. It would be very difficult to come close to achieving the perfection that was Madonna's original vocal. The main version's production begins much like the original version, but then it builds up into a hard Cascada-esque jumpstyle production. The Giorno Jump & Run mixes are also similar. The Gordon & Doyle feat Players 69 and Steve Stio mixes are a bit slower and more electro/house-oriented. The vocals do not sound that great at that particular tempo.
