For some reason this tune (besides Pussy Control) holds my interest. Don't think I've ever heard of him singing it live or giving it appreciation. Y'know I agree. This is one of my faves. I also like 319 (obviously). Shy has smooth vibe to it. Would be nice to see it live. "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift.

Great song and really unique in the Prince library. I specifically remember Scott Poulson-Bryant's Vibe review of "TGE" back in the day..he mentioned "Shy" and said (paraphrasing) that it was one of those instant classic Prince songs that are so good you can't get to the next song because you have to play it again and again. And yes, this one never shows up live though I do believe it was performed at one of the Paisley Park Fall 1995 parties.

I hate this song. I never ripped it to my computer, so when I play the album on iTunes, I never even think about it. Ernest L Sewell, IV

I always loved how Prince channeled Sly Stone and Joni Mitchell in this tune. That's really something only he could do. The best part is that he sounds like himself all the while. Release Yourself | |

don't understand why so many people always say they "hate" it.
i was born with the wrong sign, in the wrong house, with the wrong ascendancy | |

Seen him do it live several times at Paisley Park. Very nicely done! ..."holding someone is truly believing" | |

I read most of your comments and I have to say you have strange taste You're welcome to say that. I LOVE the Gold Experience, but "Shy" is not a favorite at all. It seems a bit desperate as a song, I guess. The rest of the album.....spectacular. Even "We March" (which never gets love for some reason.) And the blue you see isn't the blue I see, so "strange" is relative, eh? [Edited 5/31/09 12:57pm] Ernest L Sewell, IV
