I'd say... "Really Like It"

it's NOT LOVE but it's better than "Song of the Heart"

although, my kids loved "song of the heart" cool

The guitar solos are technically sound but lacking in any emotion or intensity (not to mention incredibly short) and the lyrics are so trite, tired and hamfisted that I seriously wonder if that area of his craft isn't completely dry. Granted, lyrics were never his strongest area, but heavens, this track's lyrics are 8th grade at best.



No offense intended but, this is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard on here. Prince is one of the most prolific songwriters of our time. Sure, sometimes the lyrics aren't all that deep, but when you write that many songs, you have to take the lighter route now and then. There's a book by someone named McGinnis that fully analyzes a lot of his lyrics. Read it- you might change your mind about this statement.

I don't need a book of someone else's opinion to tell me what to think of Prince's lyrics. And taking the lighter route is what he's been doing in terms of lyrics for a long, long time. Did I say he was a bad lyricist? No, I didn't, but it's not imho what he's best at, never has been, and if Guitar is an indication of things to come, ever will be.
No hard feelings.

Kind of reminds me of Lolita - in that it approaches the fun and feel of early Prince gems, but this too falls short somehow.

3 minutes. confused

It has potential, but a tight little package, it ain't, baby!

Somebody already said it somewhere, but after the first listen, "Back in the USSR" by the Beatles was stuck in my head, cuz of the chorus!

It's catchy, and I really like that guitar trickery at the end, but it's absolutely too short to really make an adequate assessment.

When's the 12" comin' out???

"Damn! Prince took my money again!"

This is not good. He would have been better off releasing the Super Bowl Press Conference.

He's hit a new low! WoW! uninspired drivel. I like the lyrics and the guitar solos, The vocal delivery was so lame, although the effect on his voice was cool.I guess i don't totally hate it, but I don't think this will grow on me.Sad.....

You say the midget has hit a new low and then you say you like the lyrics and the guitar solos...Which one is it?

sorry??? i mean, its 1,99 - so you want to beg others to give you the song for free because you don't want to spent 1,99 - i think its ridicolous!!! if you don't want to spent it then you should wait, till the cd is out - which i believe will never be - because in my opinion this is not a first single of a fourth-coming cd - just one song (to make a little money and to test the new 3121.com functionality - which went wrong in my opinion)

netzverWalter



whats wrong with asking if there is a listening hub somewhere? its pretty standard to offer a sample of a song...itunes, amazon and others do it...


it is pretty rediculous for people to start complaining all of a sudden about
having to buy a single and then having to pay for it again when they buy the
album it will be released on at a later date.

uhm, what? i mean, wtf. did you also return your lp en cd singles back in the
day, once the album that the songs was on hit the stores?

you pay for the song now to be able to have it now and not after 2 months if
and when an album drops with the song on it.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I wasn't suggesting you should get your opinion from someone else, I only meant that reading a literary look at his lyrics just might provoke you to think more highly of some songs.
As far as the lighter route- sometimes that's exactly what people want. I'm a Floyd fan but can't listen to them everyday. And I would guess maybe Prince hasn't been inspired to write any "deep" lyrics lately. Once you're a millionaire, have married (and divorced) a few beautiful women, own your own studio, and are a generally happy person, it 's probably tough to write the "blues" so to speak. And unfortunately, IMO, the JW thing is the only thing inspiring him these days.

Why?
Do you hold stock with Apple?

It's an mp3 file with no license.

I was hoping it would sound more like the Hendrix-Foo track(at least the vocals) but Prince kind of put the expectation there by putting that vibe out so close to this song.

Didn't think I would like it after all the negative reviews. But after first listen, I do.

I used a debit card! Portuguese banks offer a service called MBnet that enables us
debit card users to shop online...it creates a virtual card with a certain limit that can be used only once
