I'M WITH U it's just beautiful

Well, this bit is a bit odd if it's all about God:

"They can bug my phone and people 'round my home
They'll only see you and me making love inside"

Had to listen to it tonight...love it when he sings about the Moon

Nevermind who he wrote it for its still a beautiful song.

I love that part too! Call my name is a great song!

Great song...by the way, if anyone's wondering what the DLM Mix of it is like, it's just an edit (it starts right at the beginning of the 1st verse, no intro)...

Wish Prince wasn't so cryptic about the meaning of his songs but there is a line in the song that says "If I don't see you real soon baby girl I might go insane" so it is obviously written
about a woman. Anyway regardless of who he wrote it for, this song is beautiful and will forever remain in my top ten Prince songs of all time.

I did see an interview with him at the time and the reporter was like "So this song was written for your wife Manuela.." and he kinda didn't say yes but he didn't correct her either and he did say it was a song about monogomy. It was one of the best songs he had written around that era imo, you could tell he was freshly inspired by his second wife.

I think we should not be surprised that he has said different things at different times. Every word from his lips (sigh) are not carved in stone. He just said what was on his mind that day. Like we all do. I totally believe that a lot of his love songs are to the creator. He loved God more than anything throughout his life and to the very end. I am also not surprised that he said it was for his wife. "Who did you write that song to, dear?" "Why, you of course, darling." He wanted peace in his marriage like any other man. LOL

WOW! Now thats a revelation!!!!! He took it back? God, poor Mayte that girl was just totally erased from his world..now wasn't she

No, he didn't take it back exactly. On the Rosie O'Donnell show, he said that he noticed Mayte on the way in to one of his concerts and said, "There's my future wife." When she questioned him, he said he was just being rambunctious at the time he made the comment, but did feel something when he actually met her. Keep in mind she was only 16 at the time. Anyway, he was married to Mayte at the time he said this (I think 1997), so she was not erased from his life at that point.

Who knows about any of it really. I don't think you can take anything an artist says in an interview as gospel truth, especially one who likes to mess with reporters. But, he wasn't saying that he didn't feel anything for Mayte when he said he was being rambunctious. He did notice her. So there's that.

That's interesting, Prince was the master at being evasive! I know we all interpret his lyrics differently to fit our own views and what's going on in our lives, but it would be nice to know directly from him what the inspiration and meaning was when he wrote them. I do hope we eventually find out someday if they find and publish any notes he had written.

Yes it was an Access Hollywood interview in 2004 if you want to find it online. But I think Prince would have wanted his songs to be inturpted in any way the fan wanted to view it.

Love this song I don't know why some think it's boring. Ain't to me. Love his singing on this too.#

I love it when you call my name
Call, call my name
Call it, call my name

Prince

Hmmm....I think Prince could have told many different women a certain song was inspired by them or gave them the impression it was. I had worked a long time ago, with a woman who dated him for a minute,( actually I don't know if dated is the right word), .This was before I had met her. She was very beautiful alot skinnier back then, but she was under the impression Eye Hate U was written about her. So it is hard to know which songs were inspired by which women...but probably not all their fault for making an assumption, maybe Prince may have given several different women the impression a certain song was written about them. He could be crytic like that.

But he surely did love God so it is very possible a blending of his love for our creater, a certain woman, an experience triggered feelings/inspiration and he gave birth to a new song. It sure would be interesting to watch him create a song.

This song was clearly written for Manuela because he mentions carrying her through the Bridal Path door....and Bridal Path was the address of their house in Toronto.

Yes I know. I saw the access hollywood interview where he said that. And in addition about that woman I worked with, I think she is mistaken, I don't think Eye hate u was written about her..I really just got the feeling she was a hook up but just my opinion, I don't know I wasn't there, when she was seeing him

I´m pretty positive that that song was written with Carmen Electra in mind because of what he says in the remix (the one million dollar investment and that she´d have to prostitute herself to pay it back).

The rumors back then were that she did it with Tony M and that´s why her and Tony were no longer in the Paisley camp after that incident.

Actually, "I Hate U" was originally called "I Hate Ewe" as he doesn't like female sheep.

I wonder if Tony M said anything about Prince's passing. I thought I read he lives in Atlanta now.

Last time I heard of him was when he was in the audience during an Atlanta Prince show a few years ago. And then there was also a recent picture in the associated artists forum but so far no mention of any reaction. Then again, I don´t follow him on Twitter or anything, so I wouldn´t really know.

Thanks KK, I haven't seen that clip before so I just watched it. I get P's view on interpreting his songs. I just like to know the history behind my favourites

I Love This Song. It's my jam..I don't care who he wrote it for..it is poetry!

Ilove the video, this was one or the first Prince's song i liked.
