Great moments

What are your favorite parts in some songs by Prince that you like and

you think it add something extra to the song?

for example

When you were mine you were all i ever wanted to do,

now i spend my time following him whenever he's with you-love the feel of him singing it backed only by his guitar .

Loud part of Beautiful Ones Song

Honey i know i know times are changing part in Purple Rain it get's me chills everytime i hear it.

The falsetto part at the end of The 1 U Wanna C

The ending of the Dance

intro to Shhh

many many more...

(I'm just gonna do lyrics that stand out for me pretty much)

Adore: You can burn up my clothes, smash up my ride. Well maybe not the ride

Soul Sanctary: Loving you in passion unmolested in this garden, mango and nectarine, sweet honeydew, I beg your pardon, my mouth runneth over from ecstasy. It's true, it's true baby, I love the taste of you

Scarlet Pussy: Pussycat pussycat where for art thou puppy?

Kiss: *screaming there's not a sign I'm more compatible with I just want your extra time and your...*seductive like* kiss

Purple Rain: You say you want a leader, but you can never seem to make up your mind. I think you better let me, guide you, to the Purple Rain

Do Me, Baby: Oooooooooooooooooooooooooh

A Love Bizarre: Swallow the pride, enjoy the ivory tower. Danced on the roof, made love on a bed of flowers

Tons more but this good enough for now

I'll name a few...

Future Soul Song: whenever the guitar kicks in.

She's Always In My Hair (extended): when he goes "MY HAIR! THAT WOMAN! SHE'S IN MY HAAAIR!"

Positivity: When Sheila starts with the bongos near the end. I love that.

The Continental: The entire "Tell Me How You Wanna Be Done" part.

Everywhere: When everything just slows down to this slow R&B rhythm with Prince's falsetto at the end. Even though that lasted for about ten seconds.

Planet Earth: The bridge.

Get On The Boat: Sheila's drumming at the end.

Something In The Water: The screaming part. It's insane.

When You Were Mine: The synth solo.

Head: Once again, the synth solo.

Paisley Park: The high note.

Crimson & Clover: The guitar solo.

The Last December: The conclusion to the song.

Endorphinemachine: When he scream really high at the end and then BOOOOM! - EXPLOSION!

Laydown: When Prince brings out the funky bass.

Partyup: "You're gonna have to fight your own damn, cause we don't wanna fight no more!"

The Love We Make: When it starts to build up.

Until Ure In My Arms Again - The super dooper high notes.

cool

Bob George: "Now put that suitcase down, and go in there and put on that new wig I bought you. No, no, no, no, the reddish brown one."

runner up: "B-O-B, spell that shit backwards, what it say? Same motherfuckin shit."

Actually, come to think of it, almost every line in that song is a great moment.

"Lovesexy" (the title track): when the lines from the beginning of the album are repeated: "Rain is wet, sugar is sweet..."

"The Ballad of Dorothy Parker": "'Lemme have a fruit cocktail, I ain't too hungry.'/She said, 'Sounds like a real man to me. Mind if I turn on the radio?'"

"Rebirth of the Flesh": "This ain't cards, motherfucker! This is life. This is real."

That line always grates on me. The possessive is "thy," not "thou." Prince should have paid better attention in English class.

That's one of the great things about creativity and artistry - it doesn't have to be textbook written. I'm sure Prince knows what's proper and what's not maybe even moreso than you.

Scarlet Pussy: in the first verse "d-d-d-dogs"

Uptown: "I just looked her in her eyes And I said, "No, are u?"

Darling Nikki: "Woke up the next morning Nikki wasn't there I looked all over and all I found"

So evil girl, if one of us has a date,
With the undertaker, which one will it be?

So many,

repeating:

"There is joy in repetition"

I just love that song and his guitar play is phenomenal in it.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

The synth solo of When You Were Mine. I'm not really sure how to describe it, other than the fact that it was played on the April 5, 1988 during a Lovesexy Tour Rehearsal and also it was also used during the 2009 Montreux performance from 2:40 to 3:05 (as a guitar solo).

yeahthat

I remember, that when i was a child, i thought that P. sings "we'll try imagine what silence sucks like" and i didn't what he was talking about. When i asked my mother, she got angry, cause she thought P. means something like sucking a dick in the silence.lol

The trumpet in Somewhere here on Earth (actually that's the only thing I like about it except the lines that go: in this digital age... etc.
The "Hit me niggaz!" part of DaBang.
I'm sure there's many many many more that I can't think of right now. We should keep this thread going for a long time!
