I do like the music, kinda sounds like the music he was doin 4 the concert. The lyrics were a little off though, they didnt fit with the music,. They came a little late, maybe too much echo being used on ur vocals. Other than that nice guitar work btw.

Not bad, actually pretty damn good vocals but you missed the chorus completely ("rocket ship explodes")


I know people get a little touchy when it comes people remaking Prince songs but aside from the chorus thing, it's pretty cool.

Ya, i didn't care much on getting how it was suppose to be sung, just the basics.
Plus i never really knew the words, when u hear me singing in this version its me reading the lyrics.

But i'm rerecording the vocals, and taking out the reverb that i didn't catch at first how it fucked up the placement of the words.

but i will hit ya with a new take

I wasn't talking about the vocals. The music changes for the chorus but you just kept playing the same thing (verse?)

In my backward way I'm trying to help. Love the vocals

oh hmmm, ya well i know i totally did my own thing on the chorus parts. i never learnd the backround music on those paryts so i decided to just do my own thing. i like what i did, but maybe something doesn't seem right for u, but thanks for telling me.

I'm still redoing things in it.

Well, done! I agree the vocals sound a little too late because of the echo.
The bass is also not tight enough I think and I don't like the sound of the bass, if you like I'd like to volunteer to redo the bass with a bassguitar. Great guitar work though smile
