Does Lion Of Judah grow on you gradually?

First I didn't care much for the song, then I began to accept it, and finally I enjoyed it. I'm not saying it's a new When Doves Cry or Kiss, far from it, I'm just saying some Prince songs have a way of growing after listening to them a number of times.

I liked this song right away. It's apologetic..."Sitting on the floor of an all white room, feeling like the color blue."

When it comes to liking something Prince sings about, I get pretty detailed about things...Knowing that Prince is trying to get a message through is appreciated automatically...I worry for Prince because He's been hurt by people and business, and for Prince to not be certain that someone loves him, gives the song a sad edge, yet the heart of gold that Prince has declares that the trumpets will sound..and this level of certainty is worthy of praise in my eyes.

I really don't know how deeply fans have studied Prince...all I know is how I look at things.

Every song is a piece of art in Prince's collection...and I love how Prince is consistantly different and informative, beyond the natural talent he has to play guitar and piano.

Last Night, I spent another lonely Christmas...Darlin' Darlin' U shoulda been there.~Prince.

Liked it instantly. One of the best tracks of the 00s, beats anything and everything on Musicology and 3121 hands down (not difficult I know).

'Have liked this song since. It's a good, traditional rock & roll jam. ~(turn it up)~ The guitar solo is hot.

The lyrics show a certain vulnerability...~we ladies like that kinda stuff~ and stirs your heart. When the song ends there is a feeling of triumph.

headbang heart

Wow Tame! u r wonderful with your writing.hug I always enjoy your posts. I wish I had your writing skills. What u just said above is so true and beautifully written. Thank u 4 expressing my feelings as well. I totally love this song. I always put it on repeat. 4 me it’s a very sad song that I can totally relate 2.

I have expressed many times how much I love PE. In due time it will grow on some of the haters of this CD.

Well, sorta...

When I first listened to Planet Earth, only Planet Earth and Chelsea Rodgers stood out. I was listening to the album passively (whilst doing other things).

On the fourth listen, Lion of Judah is what I gravitated toward. I started playing the album with that track first. It's still my favorite song on the album.
