Jesus Christ. Enough with the ham-fisted preaching already. The lyrics have no flow when he attempts to shoehorn all that scripted mumbo jumbo in there.

Musically, very cool. biggrin

Yeah except it was "we are here..."

Shame the rest of the song isn't up to the standard of Rebirth of the Flesh.


Oh you're right, it was "we" instead of "I".
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

"cause and effect"

i am here. where are you?
ladies and gentlemen.....

cause and effect
hey, hey, hey

if had the chance to do it all again
i wouldn't change a thing, except my next of kin
there's something on the tip of my tongue
-got a taste for sin
but if you stamp your passport full of regret
you have nothing to remember but a lot to forget
leave no enemies, leave no dead/debt

made in the image of god and the lamb
to no other man am i the subject
i am what i am because & effect
cause & effect
hey, hey, hey

if i could talk to myself back then right now
i'd say 'son you might wanna stick around
something amazing is about to go down'
if i could leave myself just 1 little note
one that husbands and fathers wrote
it'd say 'you need to be a superstar or grow up,
but not both'

made in the image of god and the lamb
to no other man am i the subject
i am what i am because & effect
cause & effect
hey, hey, he

cause and effect
ladies and gentlemen
rock/roll rock/roll

i am here. where are you?
ooooh oooh. haha. hey eh heh oh hoh

don't let them say your paper's worth more than gold
i see a generation lay down before they get old
and getting endlessly sold
you need compassion for one another
righter than wrong
that's what needs to be at the heart of every past
and future soul song

made in the image of god and the lamb
to no other man am i the subject
i am what i am because & effect
cause & effect
hey, hey, he

look at y'all. brains splattered
all over...moneyapolis

ladies and gentlemen
rock/roll rock/roll

I think it´s mediocre, not bad but nothing special, nothing really new.
It isnt a catchy tune or something that i will keep in my mind for long
the guitar work is good though.

Have a nice day y´all

I've had to tune out his lyrics for a long time now. lol


Overall, on first listen, I liked it. smile

I can see dancing around my condo to it when it comes on shuffle. The crowd effect stuff was a little cheesy for my taste and, yeah, not my cup of tea lyrically. But not bad.

Laughable and so out of touch, sooooo out of touch! lol

When he finally shuts up and does a bit of guitar noodling, I was thinking "OK, maybe that was just a horrible intro flashing be back to 2000-era dribble", but no the guitar is brief and he goes back into it!

It's like a cross between 'Rock & Roll Is Alive' and 'Cybersingle'.

My GOODNESS, that was bad. Wow!

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking....with a little F.U.N.K. mixed in 2 make matters worse.

To me it sounds like he had some lyrics, and wanted to incorporate into music somehow.
But to me it sound like brutally and painfully trying to pound a square peg into a round hole in the most unsophisticated way.

Great guitar work for sure, rocks hard in places, right out of the Lotus for sure, but very clunky and awkward.

I was so nervous for Prince. Love the song, hope it plays on other stations too.


Very little chance of that.


& honestly, I could care less if other "stations" play it. I like it, it's for us, fucc everybody else.
Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

The songs OK..and will probably grow on me. My guess is that it's better LIVE like the SNL version of Fury is better than the 3121 version

The lyrics are really my only complaint. And it's not even so much about the content or where he's coming from in his beliefs. It's just so damn forced.

Where's the pattern dude? I liked Lotusflow3r, F.U.N.K, Planet Earth, NEWS, Xpectation, ONA, TRC - I've liked more in the past decade than disliked.

Songs sucks, IMO, maybe you'd be better not reading opinions that differ to yours for your own sanity.

pardonme4livin

Dammit.... sigh

It actually reminds me of the Everlasting Now ...rocking track with no commercial appeal...has the sound of a live track but not....

His songs sound less and less like "songs" to me...maybe he is just creating a new genre...I mean it isn't "Current", it is like some twist of fision, rock and jazz or something..I dunno....could have easily been on any album released in the past 5 or so years....oh well... I ain't going anywhere..... lol

It's too late for me...save yourselves! lol

I think you all need to listen to it about 5 times,,,,,then post.It is very
hard to judge a P track after just one listen. Tho, we all have our first impressions.
