Im probably going to get lynched here but I think The Arms Of Orion is brilliant.
U Make My Sunshine is great too but I've always thought it a bit strange that it takes well over 2 minutes until Angie Stones sings her part. shrug
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

The Arms Of Orion is actually my favorite proper Prince duet. I love that song. The melody is striking.

I like it too. Beautiful song !!! The words in this song are really clever with their second meaning . The sea of tranquility...

Orion's arms are wide enough
2 hold us both together
Although we're worlds apart
I'd cross the stars 4 U

In the heart of a sleepless moon
I'll be with U 4 ever
This is my destiny
'Till my life is through

The arms of Orion that's where I wanna be
Since U've been gone
I've been searching 4 a lover
In the Sea of Tranquility
I'm drowning without U here, my dear

When I am lost and feeling alone
I just look to heaven
I find my comfort there
God only knows where U are 2 night

God only knows where U are 2 night
Maybe time will tell me
Till then I'll close my eyes and say a prayer 4 U
(I'll say a prayer 4 U 2)

The arms of Orion that's where I wanna be
Since U've been gone
I've been searching 4 a lover
In the Sea of Tranquility
I'm drowning without U here, my dear

Orion's heart is bright enough
2 shine on both of us
The constellations never fail
2 light the way 4 love

Orion's arms are wide enough
2 hold us both together
Although we're worlds apart
(I'd cross the stars 4 U)
I'd cross the stars 4 U

The arms of Orion that's where I wanna be
Since U've been gone
I've been searching 4 a lover
In the Sea of Tranquility
I'm drowning without U here, my dear

The arms of Orion that's where I wanna be
Since U've been gone I've been drowning (lost)
In the sea of tranquility" (lonely)
Drowning without U here my dear" (baby)

The arms of Orion
That's where I wanna be
That's where I wanna be (the arms of Orion)
That's where I wanna be (the arms of Orion)
Since U've been gone, babe
Since U've been gone
I've been drowning", (drowning), drowning
Drowning without your love
"open your heart, open your mind
A train is leaving all day..."

I see it described as "sugary" or folks refer to the lyrics as sappy. I've always found the lyrics and vocal delivery in combination with the melody extremely meaningful and uplifting.

But the diversity of tastes is part of what I like about this place.

It sucks. It's Prince ape-ing AOR and seemingly bored doing so.

It's a mix I did of Prince and Mayte's versions alternating lead vocals, and it's now a duet. That's the title I gave it. Frankly, I only listen to that version now. I just love it. It turned out really good.
