Yeah, my grandma loves that too!

no.. bad song... but it still was a top 40 hit,

I wonder why..?

Could it be the b-side.. I Love U In Me, a much much better song..

At least that b-side was the reason why I bought the cd-single back then..

when it was released I really hated it - the only track on Batman I didn't like - it was SO sugary sweet

now I really like it - very mature song for the time - or maybe I am just that much more 'mature'

Always liked this song, their vocals go so well toghether. Imagine he would have used real violens, especially at the end.

I thought I was about to be ridiculed, such can be the Org at times. So, I am SHOCKED by all the love for Arms of Orion - keep it coming!

Aside from Seth, is there anyone else with me?

I was going to answer, no, but,

evidently there's a total of 9 of you that like it...

Make that 10--I've always liked it.

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

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

CHORUS:
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
Drowning without U here, my dear

When I am lost or feeling lonely, I just look 2 heaven
I find my comfort there
God only knows where U are 2night

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

CHORUS

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 2gether
Although we're worlds apart (I'd cross the stars 4 U)
I'd cross the stars 4 U

CHORUS
(Oh)

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 (Baby)
My dear (Drowning without U, oh)

Arms of Orion
That's where I wanna be (Where I?­)
That's where I wanna be (The Arms of Orion) {x2}
Since U've been gone, babe
Since U've been gone, I've been drowning (Drowning)
Drowning, drowning without your love
The Arms of Orion (Arms of Orion)" PRN

Beautiful lyrics and music....

I heard one time that the stars are Consciousness and with the stars close to the Earth and music Beatiful Beings find Their way here to Earth. Riding on Stars and Music in the Light of the Suns and Moons.

I've always loved this song

I had always liked the music(except claire f shoulda come in there at the end), but it took me a while to get into the straightforward vocals. I eventually succumbed to the sweetness, and have loved it all ever since. ELEVEN!!

^Correction: It's 10! I've just made a joke about a tasteless grandma who loves this kind of schmaltzy stuff. I myself can't stand this track at all!

And the music is hauntingly sparse

What??? sounds full and almost orchestral form what I remember..

The more the cunt sounds like One Direction, the more I appreciate songs like this.

Anyway, I like the song. I don't love it, but it's good enough for me.

I may be a bigger sinner than SpiritOtter, since I love "Graffiti Bridge" (the song). I confess it surprised me when I joined this site and noticed that the majority of Prince fans hated it. I agreed with "Jughead", but "Graffiti Bridge"? It's great! I must be so cheesy...

Note: My comments on "Graffiti Bridge" are completely serious.

TAO is not a favorite of mine, but I never got the hate for this song. It's Prince's version of an 80s power ballad.

omg.. LOVE this song...

especially when he sings ' god only knows where you are 2nite '

LOVE

Only good song on Batman for me...

Not one of my favourites, but it isn't bad, I really like Prince's vocals.

It's not my favorite song on the Batman album but I do like it
