I completely agree, and i just hope he never again tries to win over the teeny boppers, because it aint ever gonna happen, they want their own music by artists their age.
i wish he would go the Sting route and grow old gracefully, a 47 year old man prancing and shaking his ass wouldnt go over well with a lot of people i think.

This is a good sign sign for the new album, very pretty song.

Well I'm 18...and I'd pay GOOOOOD money to see prince shaking his ass!! razz
But I'll admit I'm part of a very small population of 18 yr olds that think that way...

I must admit the song sounds better when you watch the video, but I'm afraid this is only because my eyes are taking over the work of my ears. To watch this guy, in any video, is still more pleasurable than to listen to his zillionth sappy song.

boxed I need to admit I like the video, in a way.

Nice nod I still think he should have learned how to pronounce the words more properly. It's not as bad as the announcer on one of those commercials....

It's pretty good considering he's from the Midwest. lol At least he rolled the "r" a bit. The the softer, full-tongue sound of the "t" and the hard "c" in Spanish are really hard for some folks to do for some reason.


It doesn't sound good at all. I've had a Spanish girl listen to it and asked her to pick out the Spanish words. She failed.

It's like he's saying 'See, I'm all cora?'

Indeed.

A male/female ghosty thing that feeds of your energy to keep himself in such a pretty shape at an age when most people start falling the hell apart. It's the only logical explanation.

I wondered if it was about Mayte too. Hmmm... he's remembering a beautiful Hispanic woman, who lived with him in a foreign land (Spain), who changed him (got him into veganism), and is now out of his life? It would be rather sweet to have a beautiful music video be some kind of closure.
[Edited 12/13/05 21:41pm]

When I saw the video a 2nd time, I started to wonder about that too. I could see Mayte dancing around in this video.


nod I too think that the song has this vibe of P singing to a lost love. hmmm I think the video portrays him reminiscing about that lost love, who could possibly be Mayte omg

Has this video popped up online in a higher quality version yet? MPEG2 or 4 perhaps?

Nice to hear something new from Prince, even if it is just Prince on autopilot.

The song itself is pretty unremarkable and dull; Prince repeating himself once again. Fun little guitar solo though. I'm not a big fan of music videos personally (I'm just about the music man!) but it seems nice enough. It is however, just boring enough to be instantly forgotten by anyone that watches it.

It's "corazon" that he fucks up the worst lol but I guess his mispronounciation is kinda... Prince-ish razz
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

this song is a nice ballad, nor cheesy, nor lame.

there's some sadness in it,

it sounds promising to me for the coming album

As I said in another thread; I'm still not feeling this song. The video was to short, the song is to short and Prince sure lacks passion. He should have brushed up on his spanish smile .. And Selma of ALL people could have told him he was prounouncing it all wrong lol


I have to admit that his spanish isn't very good and I noticed he wasn't saying the title right, but why are we surprised. Remember earlier this year at the Academy Awards he was stumbling words when he was reading the nominees. Oh well I still love the song and him and I can look over some non-fluent spanish. smile

Pretty average for a lead single but I guess we're used to that by now. It's been that way for what... 10 years almost?

Pleasant but no great shakes.

Between the hoop dancers here and those Call My Name dancers, you'd think he was auditioning for Cirque Du Soleil or something.

I can’t believe I’m saying this about a Prince video, but this is one of the finest videos I’ve seen this year -- from anyone.

So many videos are so obnoxiously literal minded that you feel you’re gagging on the song or they go so far in the opposite direction that the video is nothing more than free-association weirdness just for the sake of weirdness.

But this video strikes a great balance between offering meaning and leaving space for personal interpretation.

My favorite moments thus far:

- The opening shot where the camera is pushed in in graduated stages to a historic building Prince is walking towards that is extraordinarily backlit in yellow brilliance and reflecting in a pool of water out front, setting up the real and imagined, light and shadow motif that will be used throughout.

- As the music begins, the cutting back and forth between Prince and his admired with camera movement so expertly inspired that it's as if they were dancing a tango together.

- Near the end where Prince is seated at a table eating a meal when the background becomes an apparition or psychic painting upon the wall, seemingly conjured from the very potent emotional connection that once took place in this space (or simply a video he’s projecting, if you prefer the literal explanation of this phenomenon); and then the final shot of Prince reaching out to stroke this woman’s face using only the shadow of his hand.

And, finally, I love the final image of Prince standing all alone with his back to the camera in the corner of the shot, this time facing the pool of water from the other side looking back at the earlier reflection he created standing in the backlit opening of the building at the start of the video. But then the Prince in the foreground fades out and the reflection of the person remains.


Nice! thumbs up!

I can't believe the day has arrived where a new Prince album provides almost no interest to me.

The video is fine, but this song is the biggest yawner ever. Heck, it makes bad lead releases like BBGW and TGRES sound funky as hell by comparison!
