I WISH U HEAVEN

my favourite song

my favourite 12"

erm just to let you know!

I think ahead of you, I think instead of you
Will you spend your life with me
And stifle me?

God did i hate having to fast forward to listen to this track, but it was worth it.

"I Wish U Heaven" -- top three Prince song of all time!

Reason why it doesn't make #1:
A) it is too short
B) the second verse (rhyming seven, eleven, and heaven) is lame

Reasons why it is in top 3 of Prince's greatest songs:
A) the distorted guitar chunking away behind the verse,
B) the grungy guitar line buried beneath the chorus is remarkable,
C) the first verse is fantastic,
D) falsetto voice

I have listened to "I Wish U Heaven" a billion times and I still love it. It is timeless in its greatness.

I never knew there was a part two and three till about a year ago. Gee how lame am I?! Hey gimme a break, I'm only 17 and I was born when Lovesexy came out. It is an awesome track though.


I still have to pick the 12" up so I can hear parts two and three.

Nah, I've had to sit through it plenty of times.]

Eminem killers playing mickey mouse games and the whole nine.

I LOVE lovesexy, annastesia, and glam slam--- whenever i get to dance on, its like--


Get it over with already.

Not that i haven't listened, it's personal tastes.

The weakest track on Lovesexy in my opinion, very simple lyrics, nothing spectacular, but i somehow like the way the beat / guitarriff progress on this track. I never heard the 12 inch, but the album version is nice, but nothing more,

Glam Slam is a way better pop / rock-track in my opinion (some call it cheesy, i consider it one of his best melodies, majestic, 'heavenly', and also very nicely arranged).

I can never make my mind up what I feel about the 12" of IWUH.


Sometimes, I really dig it, and other times it bores me. confused


I think I have to be in a Lovesexy kind of mood to get into it. nod

Glam Slam has the kind of gorgeous, majestic melody that just propels you into 'heaven'...

I wish u heaven is quite boring filler.

Thats the difference.

To each their own, but I think IWUH is one of the best tracks on the album. Especially the extended version.

The video, however, is murder-suicide.

its a cool track , those lyrics can be seen as really silly I guess but they are genius , its him saying "i can happily take on board your viewpoint/opinion even though it disagrees with mine ,I'll still wish you all the happiness in the world" in a really simple and concise way , I think .

Co-sign! and it's also worth it because When 2 r in love is right before it

Doesn't it make you smile when you realize no one was there to see the stupid thing you just did?

Yep I agree. It really helps to bear those lyrics in mind when you're annoyed with someone.
