I keep sleeping on songs. This song is damned good. Nice rocky, poppy song with amazing chorus. It aint top notch, but it really cooks.

All I ask is that his new songs be at least this good. Stone is really nice.

Yay--any haters? Bart? lol

I absolutely love the song. It should have been released.

Awesome song! So glad I found it.

It aint Purple Music, but you are right.

Where is this song from?

Another classic outtake.

Never heard it

Definitely a "YAY".

Has anyone heard Sandra St. Victors original version? Did Prince use her lyrics or melody or both?

Yay btw

Sandra's version is "Nothing Left To Give". Just the lyrics in the verses are the same. The music is very different.

BIG YAY!!!!

Big Yay!

Thanx Chris.

I guess I got some diggin' up to do then so far I'm only fimiliar with these Emancipation outtakes:

I'm The DJ

Slave to The System

Somebody's Somebody(Remix)

I absloutly love the music that came from the Emancipation era, so I'm sure I'll sink my teeth into this gem once I find it.

Yeah, I like this track. A friend of mine sent it to me and I my mouth fell open. It's simple and straight to the musical point ...

I just love it. Absolutely. A pop masterpiece.

WAY better than ANYTHING he released since 2004.

Thanks! I still would like to be able to compare the two versions. Anyone know where I can find Sandra's version?

A HUGE Yay! I wish he had put this on one of his CD's and released it as a single cause it would have been massive.

i love this song alot one of my favorites. i just wish it was on the Emancipation album as a hidden track along with Journey 2 The Center of Your Heart another favorite of mine.

nice tune. what a waste....we get garbage like Mr. Happy but this one is buried.

I just heard Sandra's version. Aristotle is completely right. Prince's version is totally different.

lovel song. when the demo for "guitar" was released on 3121, this is what it reminded me of.

the album version of "guitar" doesn't sound like it at all, but that demo had a little bit of that

same breezy pop feel to it.

anyway, "stone" is a great outtake. proving again that simplicity is often best

Stone was recorded in 1995. So we dont know if it was an outtake from the Emancipation album or intended for the album..Most of the songs on Emancipation was recorded in 1996. Plus Stone doesnt really sound like anything on Emancipation imo
