Sheila E.'s Bedtime Story

I love this tune. It's fucking beautiful. The entire melody arch, the sweet lyrics, the wanting.

I love it all. One of my faves of Romance 1600.

Nice tune. I only wish it were longer and included some of the musical interludes that are on Prince's rehearsal version. But it's beautiful in its simplicity, although slightly diminished by Sheila's fake crying. I love the way the song briefly visits the idea of moving far away and starting life all over and then quickly decides against it. Who hasn't had that dream?

It's a really beautiful song. I have the single for it somewhere.

The only complaint is...(don't kill me but-)...is she singing in the right key for that song???

I like the song but prefer "Paradise Garden" as a Prince/Sheila ballad.Even more than that I like "The World Is High".

I like honesty. I still think it is an underrated Prince/Sheila colloboration for all the reasons I stated. Love, love, love it.
