They're not even listed as doing any vocals but it sounds like they're there, maybe on this song even. Whoever's singing brings a nice lushness to the BG vox, I think. I like a little variety, sonically speaking.

I'm liking the album, but it doesn't feel very big, same as 3121 & musicology. I think I like it better than them, but it remains to be seen if it will have any lasting impact (the other 2 didn't really, other than liking them for a couple months)

i can hear their vocals on 3 tracks but since i don't have the album with me right now (and 4 a reason!) i can't remember which ones other than lion of judah and resoultion and wait ..i think it's this song i did remember lol

This track is my favorite on the album! It's the only one that avoids sounding like a song (see my post on the main sticky). It does however have a "Willing And Able" vibe to it. Great song!

It's catchy, but I liked it better the first time I heard it when it was called "I Like It There"

was this left out of the Hairspray soundtrack?

I thought I was hearing them too but they did NO vocals at all for the album. Wendy plays guitar (electric too not just acoustic) on 5 tracks and Lisa plays piano/keys on another.

It's catchy and has a country-pop vibe, but it's probably the weakest song on the album, IMO. Too meandering for my taste!

Heh. Good catch. You are correct, the verse melodies of the two songs are quite similar... mainly a two-note motif. The differences are that I Like It There's melody moves from flat-seventh to tonic while The One U Wanna See moves from third to fourth... the first is a whole-step jump while the latter is only a half-step. The chords underneath are also different: ILIT mirrors the melody with bVII to I chord progression while TOUWS is I to V.

Both songs are similar bluesy feel, midtempo rock, with a laid-back, syncopated kick and rhythm guitar.

Like I said, good catch -- I hadn't tied these two songs together until you mentioned it. "The One U Wanna See" is a better song and a much better recording. And I like "I Like It There"...

anywayz, I really like this one too. Sounds so sweetly determined and sure.

EverlastingNow said:

it's them damn twins...i thought the harmonies lacked a certain "oomph".

EverlastingNow said:

I wonder why they didn't sing The bg vox definitely have that sound in spots, why not just use the real thing?

Prince, you're just an enigma!

You, sir, are obviously a musician. I'm not, but I play one on the message boards. I know the chord progression is different, but the opening vocals grabbed me right away in a way I knew they'd been grabbed before. My wife hears "When You Were Mine", and I do too.

Can you break that out also?

This is my favorite track on PE besides Resolution. I laugh when he says "that's why I come like thundah".

So, Wendy n Lisa are on this one? Cool, cool.

every1 loves this song and im tryin but it almost hurts me to listen too..it reminds me of shania twain...im hatin it

live4lust said:

Wendy is on this track.

[b]
Just heard the whole cd, and this is my favorite song soo far !!

Simply wonderful song right up there with fan favorites like When You Were Mine.

That's right I said it!

good god, yes! you nailed it!
if that's what a P shot at a hit single material sounds nowadays... i think i prefer Guitar after all.

Believe me I'm a huge Shania Twain fan and to compare this to something she might do is a slap in the face to Shania. *sarcasm alert*

This is a ridiculous comparison by any stretch of the imagination.

This song is nothing like a Shania song or any other country song for that matter. Musically or lyrically.

I really like it

Instant Classic!

for me this is the standout track of the album. Just wondering about the

" every nickle in this club looking for a dime, nothing less, nothing more " - line.

Is this is an existing english expression or one of those clever Prince one-liners?I tried searching the net but couldn';t come up with anything....

sosgemini said:

I like it, that’s a great compliment coming from u

It's ok.

It´s funny how fan opinions are different when it comes to Prince´s music. I wonder if it happens the same way between Sting and Mc Cartney´s fans.

Well, I like this song. It´s catchy light rock and Prince does at least one song like this on several albums (I could never take the place of your man, Cinnamon Girl, etc). I liked the guitar effects. Does somebody know which effects are used?

I LOVE IT!!!

This one may have to grow on me.
