Adonis & Bathsheba This could've been one of Prince best songs if he would've released it and made the song longer. That song has the best saxophone work ever. | |

I've never heard Adonis & Bathsheba so I don't know that it is the best saxophone work ever. Actually, the best saxophone work I've ever heard is Dave Brubeck's "Take Five". I'm not a big fan of saxophone, but I love the sax on that song. Take a listen, TheKing662.  [Edited 9/18/09 22:04pm] | |

Yeah, I like that snippet. Prince has so many amazing tracks in the vault. I think this is one of the few reasons why I like that it's in the vault bcuz it's great. It takes u back 2 that time and it makes u wonder. Adonis & Bathsheba, Hard 2 Get, Everybody Wants What They Don't Got, Go, Big House, and even Traffic Jam gives me great reason 2 believe that the vault has some amazing and mayb some of his best work ever. I wanna hear them all in full. I bet they r great 2 hear. Let's hope Prince decides 2 finally release another Crystal Ball album bcuz that would b great right now. | |

Actually it's just a rework of Crucial, or the other way round. | |

Totally. And personally I'd rather listen to Crucial. But A & B does have somewhat intriguing lyrics tho.

Crucial has to be one of his greatest songs. Beautiful vocals. I'm not sure which version of it I prefer. Maybe the guitar version... Check out my band WDG Solid Experiment's hilarious new album Birds & Bears: http://www.facebook.com/p...603?ref=ts

Hey, I find it quite cool to see a young kid who understands how wonderful actual music is. Hip hop is fine, but it's not the only thing out there. I bet this King dude gets picked on for liking Prince. We should be his buddy..lol

it's got a drum machine and percussion based sound, it's a bit shit like big tall wall, but slightly better. it sounds like some graffit bridge era outtake from 89/90 lyrics are... when i was a little bitty baby, i tell u what my mama used 2 say, all the little babies who love me, prayed 2 the god each day. i hope that god lives in the big house so i can take my friends with me, one day i'm gonna party in the glory, one day we'll all be free. i used to pray for candy, the singer in my favourite band. now i'm older, i'm gonna shake his hand, blah blah blah All the latest Prince worldwide news and reviews in one easy to find place www.thedawnexperience.co.uk

Well why isnt the full version available? are people scared to share it or do they like holding on to it cuz it makes them feel important? |

The lyrics were printed in a magazine that Prince started and abandoned in 94. There was only one issue. It was like a sort of fashion magazine called "10,000."

Having just read the full lyrics it strikes me that there is a similarity to All the Midnights, the continual flow of poetic lyrics that seem to mold themselves around the song rather than just sit on top.

The sample suggests this is a great song, what was susan Rogers talking about. I take anything that women says about his music with a great big lump of salt.
