Man O war

Don't you just love this song? I bet alot of Prince fans hate it because it seems like a half hearted attempt to modern R&B but for some reason this song really pulls me in. I really like the use of the piano in this song. I know Rave gets alot crap on this board but honestly I think it is a pretty interesting album. Even if it kinda was a concious effort of Prince trying to appeal to younger audiences I don't care. There are some really intersting sounds on this album.

Oh and the lyrics.... sad. I have felt like that in the past with someone.

It's about as emotive as a wall painted grey.

Once I get past the first three or four songs (it's been a while) the album's cool with me. I prefer the Un2 version of Man O War over the In2.

one of the better songs on Rave. it has few lyrics that make
me cringe ever so slightly. but on the whole it's a cool and
sophisticated song.

the remix wasn't too bad either. i liked the dig about Prada
shoes and $ 100,000 *and some change* lol.

cool

This was his last great ballad. Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic is a great album (except track 9).

Really dig this joint. Probably the best on the "Rave" album.

Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Great, great song, off a pretty average album. It's easily my favorite on Rave, though, and one of my favorite post-WB era songs. Love the lyrics.

I really like this track. It's RAVE's "Adore".

Hated the remix.

You could be a part-time model, but you'd probably have to keep your normal job

yeah, well, ok biggrin

now "I love U but I don't trust U anymore" is probably the best song
on that album. the two really shouldn't be compared imo. but yeah...
it is the better song. best thing he came up with in ages.

That song is the shit! Underrated (I sound like a broken record on this site).
