Discuss: All The Midnights in the World

Here is your thread to discuss this track only - instead of scanning the main sticky - Enjoy, June7

Is that at 1200am or 1200pm or 2400 or is it 0000?

I hated this song when I first heard it, but it is growing on me. It sounds like a song Prince would put on a kids album, but if I think back 2 SOTT...I did love Starfish And Coffee. I just wish he had put some sprinkles o spice of rhythm guitar in here or some weird sounds 2 make this short song a little more interesting and different.

A bit too Pollyanna and sappy for my tastes...sorry.

One of my favorite tunes on the album.


Albeit, Joshua Kadison could probably pull it off better.

I love this song. It's one of my favorites on the album. I think it's one that will grow on people with time, it's a really great song, perfect album track.

When most people listen to the album, I think they instantly look for the funk and/or the rock tracks and this one fits neither category so it's easy to overlook at first but it's a great song that will grow on people for sure in my opinion.

one of my favorite three tunes on the album. like most of prince's
post 1992 under 3 minute songs, it's fun, off center and very nice
to listen to.

Its indeed very short, lightweight on purpose, but actually a smarter composition then it sounds on first hearing.

Together with the song Resolution, it makes me curious how it would sound if Prince would write and record an entire album with Wendy and Lisa next.

These two songs still sound a bit like sketches, but i think when the two ladies and Prince really take the time to record songs together, it could bring us a nice 'poppy' and 'folky' Prince album.

Fun little song for some tea in the garden... I dig this tune.

I really love how the second verse 'kicks in' with the drums and the background vocals.

A bit of a more loose, playfull 'Take me with U'

This melody sticks.
I can imagine everyone singing this song in concert.

Youre right.

I am allready thinking about the people yelling and clapping when he performs this song during a piano-medley.

(even the people who say it is crap at this moment )

"Prickly-fingered scallywags that masquerade as friends."


Best line on the album.

Love it

It's Prince collaborating with Wendy and Lisa after Wendy and Lisa have been collaborating with Neil Finn.

Listened to the album over again and decided that this is so far my favourite track...makes me feel all wistful!!
I like the sweetness of it and it wouldn't look out of place on Around the World in A Day. It will grow on others too.

I've been listening to the album in order over and over, and I NEVER feel like listening to this song. Is it the sequencing? Is it his vocals?

This is my least favorite track so far.

It sounds like 'Here Comes Santa Claus' by Bob B. Soxx And The Blue Jeans.

ok but following "mr goodnight"? it totally kills my mojo.

Another great song...it's like a long lost cousin of Starfish & coffee. Now this is another great example of a perfect pop tune.

I pity those who can't enjoy this song!

Thanks for the pity Mike..Thanks for the pity.

Like it again it fits in perfectly with the album another grower

Really didn't like this at first but it's grown on me. By co-incidence it has been playing while I've been reading this thread and something just clicked. Not my favourite on the album but not the worst either.

I think it's one of the better songs on the album. It's got a bit of a Joni Mitchell vibe to it (circa Ladies of the Canyon) which I quite like
