Its a sexy acoustic [img:$uid]http://pic80.picturetrail.com:80/VOL2084/9118410/23995995/405566474.jpg[/img:$uid]

Sung in prince 's trademark falsetto. With just his soft thumping acoustic guitar. It uses space & silence to tell a longing story of his yearning of a sexy scented lover...

"L.O.L. (Live Out Loud) sounds rockin!!!! Can't wait 2 hear it.....

A surprise, this one.

And a real treat. A little song by Prince during my morning cup of coffee.

And played before me, just like that.

It should be like this every day!

I dont know if these are completely accurate (feel free to add corrections)


"Uh oh
I got it again
That girl thang (x2)
Uh oh
I got it again
That girl thang (x2)
That I cant wait to see my favorite smile again,
That girl thang (x2)
Been wrestling with these butterflies a while, I been
Girl thang (x2)
Couldnt take a shower cause I smelled like her,
Problem is I aint seen her since the 3rd,
If I dont get clean real soon
It might be a minute before I make her swoon
again
swoon
again

Uh oh
Its here again
That girl thang (2x)

She has to do a simple thing like run an errand
Im feeling left alone, unbearing
I am lost again
Lost again
The sound of her coming back to play
Is like a water to a rusty castaway, my best friend, girl thang, girl thang

Uh oh
Its got me again

Uh oh
That girl thing, girl thing

Im her little secret
People think Im free
instead of a 5th dimension prisoner, ecstasy
I got it again, I do
Girl thang, girl thang

Uh oh
I got it again
That girl thang (x2)

Its ok
Even if I lose
I win"

The song is awesome. Prince sounds sprung. lol

He's definitely sprung! Also, I could be completely wrong but I don't think AA's out of the picture. I think this is about her...who knows though could be about anyone. Also he references, "a smile that can weaken any man i swear" in "If I Was King" and he references "his favorite smile.." in this song...who knows. Fun to guess at who is inspiring these songs.

As soon as I read "acoustic song" on this forum my heart sank a bit. I'm not usually a fan of purely acoustic Prince songs, and this one hasn't changed my mind.

I don't really like it. It's by far my least favourite of the songs realeased so far through 3rdEyeGirl.

I will give it more listens but this could possibly be my least favourite Prince song ever.

Just my personal opinion ... everything else from 3rdEyeGirl has been fantastic.

Originally, the term masterpiece referred to a piece of work produced by an apprentice or journeyman aspiring to become a master craftsman in the old European guild system.
His fitness to qualify for guild membership was judged partially by the Masterpie

Btw: u get a ZIP file when u download it...I'm hoping folks know what 2 do with ZIP files 2 get them 2 play as u have 2 extract/unzip them. At least no streaming this way which is a good thing!

If your fears are true then humanity is doomed.

Come on man! It's 2013 and people have grown beyond AOL.

If you cannot handle a zip file nowadays you must stay away.

Trust me not everybody knows...have already been helpdesk 4 various people who had trouble after downloading...

I don't mind though...glad 2 help people, also when it's not even that difficult 2 find out what 2 do biggrin

Just click on it! biggrin

Sjeesh! I mean: see how easy CD's are?

And how stupid properietary OSses are? They can't even handle archives in an intuitive enough manner. (and some people even pay for that stuff!)

But I like the track despite the demo-ish feeling.

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

He doesn't reference anything in If I Was King, he didn't write it! He co-wrote Superconductor, The Calm and Long Gone.

That out the way, the new song... Listened once will listen again but it wasn't on instant repeat. I absolutely love that he has an outlet for this and I absolutely love that it has been released but this is one that I'll have to be in the mood for as opposed to something I can listen to anytime.

While it's not my thang, I'm sure that if this was a newly surfaced 80's outtake everyone would go mental for it and ask why he isn't doing stuff like this today.

I'm 90% sure this was recorded on a phone or laptop going straight in... Sounds good but agree it should have had a demo label although if he has no intention of re-doing it then its not a demo.

Cool song though... More candy please 😀

Strangely enough, it downloads without the 'zip' extension.

That must be an apple thing confused

Anyway, easily resolved by just typing it yourself (add '.zip.), and the thing opens.

I think this is the kind of song that is for the fan who wants to hear EVERYTHING. I agree with the assessments that it sounds like an impromptu, hastily recorded kind of thing. Like a sketch of an idea that was "jotted down."

As it is, I don't think it will be getting a lot of replays from me. However, It sounds like it could make a nice interlude on an album of love songs.

It will be fun to hear if he ever fleshes it out or revisits it, and be able to compare it with this demo.

Lovin' THAT GIRL THANG...if only 4 the fact it comes straight from Prince right after recording it. And it's only 88 cents, it fits my playlist perfectly!

So cool the way he records and shares this way thru www.3rdeyegirl.com I'm ready 4 more...bring it on!

Ahhhhh... What extremely beautiful guitar playing from Prince!! mushy would really love to hear this with guitar only. Wonder if P picked up a few tips from Andy McKee with the style he's playing? Sorry, just wish I cud put down 100 love heart emoticons for this little gem! hug Absolutely beautiful lyrics too. Funny part "If I don't get clean real soon, it might b a minute b4 I make her swoon" lol I for one certainly do not care how long long it's been since u showered Mr Nelson! Wouldn't even mind if it has been since the last time I smelt u, & that's nearing 18years!! wink Can't imagine anything nicer than the true smell of Prince! Yum. Sounds like he's smitten 4 sure sigh

Unzipped it in2 a wav, which slipped easily in2 my iTunes, then my iPhone & it's been constant repeat for about an hour, kissing & caressing my mind whilst I clean up the hoose! lol smile

I dont think its about AA. The vibe is completely different. All songs with AA have been retro, rock... This is something else.

OK, I'll let it it slide that you're not being a smart arse and I should have been clearer with my question. What I meant is which format is the song file within the zip?

It's another WAV!

cool

Thanks djThunderfunk highfive

On the technical side of things I'm using Firefox on PC, for this song the file That is downloaded with no extension.

After renaming by adding .zip extension and extracting the file the structure of the archive under root has

  1. file That Girl Thang.wav
  2. folder _MACOSX which contains file ._That Girl Thang.wav

For the techies why is the folder _MACOSX and it's contents included?

The song is pretty cool, it's like Prince popped up at my place with his guitar, sat himself down on the lounge and said "only got time for one"...

... and I said fine have your US$0.88 and be on your way, see you next time.


Prince is a musician not a lifestyle.
