I don't get why everyone's now acting like GITM is the worst thing ever. It's a good song and was a perfectly reasonable 2nd single. Maybe it's radio's fault when they don't pick up on songs, not the artist's. Give It 2 Me, was a good song, but in my opinion it wasn't radio friendly. And at least it was Madonna/Warner's fault that Miles Away flopped. They didn't gave it a video or adds date, so...

I loved this song. I think all the singles from this era were great. Give it 2 Me should have been a smash everyone. Nothing was done wrong single wise, just no promotion really.

She's still releasing this? Or she did and no one noticed/cared?

It was released but there was no promotional push by the label and it didn't do anything in the U.S. Even on the Dance/Club Play chart it stalled at number 2. It even did badly overseas even though radio stations played it there.

This is my most spun Madonna track ever, that being said it doesn't age well at all. It sounds rather dated.

I still enjoy 4 Minutes. I'm over everything else from the Hard Candy era.

what? are u only saying that cause you're a Mimi fan? I heard Mimi and Madge fans detest each other lol -- more so than Mimi vs Whitney...so is Miles Away 'really' not doing well?

Me too. It was really simple, but it worked and fit well with the song's subject and lyrics. A semi-live video like this is very appropriate given that she's supposed to be 'miles away.' Hopefully the full thing might leak.

Hopefully the full thing might leak. Ya - me too. Actually, Miles Aways is my favourite (and I think its the best ) from the Hard Candy era. Madonna sung with so much heartfelt soulfulness - which plays into her singing strength in giving so much feeling/honesty in ballads/slower songs/songs without musical or technical gimmicks such as Crazy for You, Live to Tell, La Isla Bonita, I'll Remember, Drowned World/Substitute for Love. Unlike some who said earlier it gets outdated easily - I personally find it a song which can growth on/with you. In all honesty - I find that many have not given the album the credits it so rightly deserved for it is seriously underrated. There are quite a number of good song - apart from 4 minutes. Personally, my other faves are Give It 2 Me, Heartbeat, Miles Away, Shes Not Me, Incredible & Dance 2Night (which is really groovy). Promotions are/were so lacking on this album....

This should have been the 2nd international single imo.
