BEAUTIFUL STRANGE

I have listened this song two days ago, and 'tis a great song, beautiful sung, beautiful musically, i love this song, for me is a rock kind of song it's in the vein of There is Lonely it will fit very well in the Come album.

WHat do you think about it, and what it is the meaning of this song. The version i am talking about is the Rave into the Jake's Attic, so speak out...

The version I have, on Ray Of The Light Fantastic, would fit perfectly next to Do Me Baby on 1999.

I like the unreleased version best but it's a nice song either way. Cool gibberish he spouts giggle.

I remember that VHS. I ordered it from his website, paid for it, got a postcard confirming receipt of my payment and informing me that it was delayed. Then proceeded to never send it to me. I still have that postcard, I ran across it recently. I've still never watched that video.

I never purchased it as I didn't have the internet at the time and wasn't even aware of its release: I got an audio copy from a friend a few months after release, then found a digital copy of the video a few years later. It's out there if you know where to look nod

I really like the song.

The BS VHS is a load of shite. It was broadcast as part of CH4's Prince night donkey years ago. Doug E mumbling, Chaka screaming and other stuffed turkey nonsense on the Cafe De Paris aftershow, the "interview" with Prince and Mel B taught us fuck all, and the video for the actual Beautiful Strange song is a bore.

Nice collectable though.

Uhm... Are we talking about the Mel B interview in 1998? I remember seeing that on tv and that was the first time I heared a snippet of the song. Sounded pretty good, but I never heared a full version. But, in spite of that, when he played it live in the Melkweg in Amsterdam in 2011, it was absolutely muthafucking great! headbang

I am sorry your topic got a bit sidetracked biggrin

Beacuse I agree: This track is one of Prince's finest. I like Prince in his darker mood.

"Strangely beautiful, beautiful strange" - great paradoxical lyrics.
