things u never noticed in songs?

I was listening to Boom earlier and I noticed he actually says BOOM on the chorus,this is the 80th time Ive heard the song and I just noticed it. Anyone have a similar experience?

what

I noticed that sometimes it snows in April.

...

i always seem to hear something new in Housequake if I really have a close listen to it with decent headphones.

Yes, I have noticed that in the left headphone in "Space" some woman groans.

Imago: "You look You know, that kind of super-hot, cuteness that gets a guy raped in prison. "

My cover of the "Crush" by Smashing Pumpkins: http://prince.org/msg/15/314710.

After 16 years, I just learned the words to Soft N Wet about two weeks ago. I have probably heard the song well over 500 times, but I could never tell what was said for a small part of the song, beginning with the "If this is Lust" part.

I only noticed this when another posted pointed it out.
It's not really audible...
Sometimes I don't notice an entire song and then it dawns on me...
when I'm not particulary listening to "listen" and then it hits me..hey I like this!

i didn't know what the heck Hundalasilliah was until about a month ago...been h aving the album for years....

I didn't know Scarlet Pussy was really about a girl who's started her period so she's starts gettin the hots.
Scarlet - red/period

That is what the song means right???

Took me ages to hear the 'pop' sound in Play in the sunshine after he sings 'pop... Goes the music'

and I only noticed the hook from Get Off towards the end of the extended version of Gett Off (confusing!) for the first time last week... And I must have played that song hundreds of times over the years.

THERE'S so many multilayered songs out there...particularly on D&P.

The one that bugs me and I still can't figure out are the telephone segued on o(+> turn it up loud and listen in the background....there's loads of talking and Prince mocking vanessa in a whisper ("scandal")

What I always loved about The Gold Experience the most was that I seemed to hear new things everytime I listened to it. Especially in P Control, Shhh, We March (oh yes, I think it's a great song), Now, 319, Shy, I Hate U and Gold.




Good thread!

Just the other day I noticed that the drum pattern about 7:50 into "Save the People" seems to be very much like the drum pattern about 8:30 into "The Glamorous Life" (album version). And then I laughed at myself for finding something new to be nerdy about after a quarter century of listening to these two songs.

It took me years to listen to the little keyboard part in 'When Doves Cry' that has the 'music box' effect in the rhythm section.



COME, both the album and title track seems to have a lot of little interesting moments and parts in the songs that I originally missed.

The doozy has got to be The Gold Experience though. There are all sorts of subdued moments in the otherwise flashy albums. I'll hear a bit of the rythem or bass section that sounds so clever or unique that if he pulled it out and made them the premier sound in a completely separate song, it would sound off-the-hook and merit it's own greatness. But it speaks volumes to the man's real genius that he can take such clever little tunes and sounds and 'bury' them in the mix.


Lastly, Emancipation is another one of those albums that has hidden Easter eggs.






I think another thing that speaks to Prince's genius is the fact that you can put a song down, and when you go back to it a few months later, you hear a 'quality' of the song that causes you to realize you've just been too distracted to realize the greatness of it the first time around.

I have never thought about that. It makes perfect sense. I will have to listen to it later.
