Song writing class for Preence!!

Ok, Preence--can I call you Preence?? His royal sophistry? Well, no matter. Preence, I really like your two albums, really I do. They are really peechy keen and all, but I gotta tell you--or is that U?--you do need to still work on that song writin and stuff, ok? Sure, the songs on Lotus and MPLS are really good, but I don't listen to Preence for really good, I listen to Preence for mind bending, sock shredding, cat strangling great, classic music. U know what eye,mmm sayunnn! Sure, you hit it out the park with $, but maybe that was a fluke or worse an old song reworked. So, just to let you know what I mean by classic music, I'd like to show you some examples from past greats:

Preence, love, lotusflower hottie, watch this:

This is how you do a dirty rock song. Make it simple, but make it original. Listen how that guitar cooks! Listen to the burn in John Fogerty's voice. Listen to the drive of the drums. That's how you put drums in the mix. Make it dirty. Your sound is too clean. Rawk dem kiddies.

For more complex rawk, look at this from Nirvana:

The haunting verse by Cobain, the way the soft turns into a driving hard guitar. Listen, Preence, listen. Lyrics that take chances: "I want to eat your cancer..." Preence, eat our cancer. Eat our pain. Listen to how loud the guitar is in the mix. The song is simple but complex. Rawk like this dammit!! Sorry 4 cursin. Freaky bad, bad freaky!

On the pop writing tip, you cannot beat the Beatles. Preence, don't go lyin, sayin that they didn't inspire ATWIAD, they did and you know it. Wendy and Lisa told us so, you gimp. Listen, this is how you write pop:

Listen to that guitar intro?? Holy sheet, Prince, listen!! What a verse, what a chorus! Listen 2 how the guitars work with the vocals! Prince, this is how you write classic stuff. Here is ok, but it aint this.

We miss your weird stuff. Preence, remember how weird u would b on wreck' ard? Zappa, teach this motherflucker:

Weird, brilliant, odd, great! Preence, wack on us, wack on us. Bend rainbows, pal!

Preence, I do this out of love. Luv U long time. Really.

2 U from me. Luv u Preeeeenceee!!

Wave your wildsigns high!!

what

I'm sure Prince loves being told how to write songs. Well done.

The Mods won't let me write what I want to, but believe me I'm putting it out in the universe and it ain't pretty.

More hot mess on prince.org

Prince.org is a cemetery where folks mourn Prince instead of celebrate him and his music. Last time I checked, Prince isn't dead yet.

what?

Dave GRohl didn't write Heart Shaped Box..lol

Kurt could have written Chocalate Box. John Lennon, if you remember wrote almost every brand of Music, as did Zappa.

My question, could Preence do Captain Beefheart.

Do Captain Beefheart?

Real luv is telling the truth. Didn't Preence teach us that...

Wave your wildsigns high!!

Well you didn't really pose us or Prince with a question to begin with.

You were voicing your opinion on how you thought Prince should write songs. (Which you are perfectly entitled to do but do expect some to take exception with your "demand")

Ahhhhhahahahaha 2Freaky you brang da ruckus to da org...

now, to the rest of you... Do you seriously believe that this is the best Prince could do as far as song writing goes? Are these lyrics on par with The Cross, IIWYGF, or anything off Lovesexy or Parade??? This felt like Prince makin' albums just for the sake of makin' albums...

Prince needs a little kick in the ass... so go'head 2freaky, go'head...

As I have said, I like the albums. I also like carrots, but I don't eat them every day. I want an every day love affair. Preence, we know you have the skills. Those durned JW's done mooched the pooch. Religion poisons every little ting.

Wave your wildsigns high!!

Doubltteamm!

U being sarcastic?

Wave your wildsigns high!!

He didn't put the Divine on it because it was "too good of a song."

Prince,

Wave your wildsigns high!!

lesson from me: Don't tell a control loving genius what to do.

Yeah, cuz Prince sure needs songwriting help from random message board posters

That fella George Harrison knew how to write a song. Paul and John need to stand aside and recognise him for what he was....the best song writer in the Beatles.

What the F**K is going on .....that's a really stupid comment....you guy's need to lie down as your talking out of your ass...

Stu, John Lennon was a bit better..lol

I am not judging Prince, I am showing him other artists who make great art. Great art, we need it. I am not schooling them, they are.

As much as I'm LOVING what I've heard so far I've got to agree with you there.

For this set of new songs, what I'm really enchanted with is the music not the lyrics.

With the exception of "Colonized Mind" and even then he had to throw in a dig at the music industry.

Good point, the music is pretty good on most if not all the tracks. I witnessed this while I was up under the hood of my Volvo this weekend and I was rockin' out to Lotusflower... thankfully I couldn't hear most of what he was singin about and that made the album listenable...

Are these lyrics on par with The Cross

Black day.
Stormy night.
No love.
No hope in sight.

Not the most profound lyrics I have heard.

Deep, man, deep.

or Parade???

Act your age, not your shoe size,
maybe we could do the twirl.

Are you sure you want to argue this point?
We could go on and on.
