This should be a good one.....Which songs do you think are written about him?

We all know about Song About. But rumors are, there are more...


my vote: I Want To Get On (Friendly Fire)

Off topic: I've never heard friendly Fire!

How about "Are You My Baby?"

I would like to think that there wouldnt be too many (not dwelling to much on the past) ....But if I had to pick one in addition to the obvious, I might tend to agree with SOS.

where you been?

I dunno,I read Prince into "waterfalls".

rockwilder said:

thats a good one...


ive heard that Mother Of Pearl is also about Prince...i think....

You're grasping at straws...Wendy & Lisa don't strike me as the type of people to dwell on things...I would limit thier songs about Prince to the first lp.The ladies are about growth in thier music and I am sure they had moved on and got what they needed out of their system.

actually, someone on the inside was who made the statement about Mother of Pearl....


but then who knows....its all in fun though.

sosgemini said:

nope. Wanna? I wouldn't be mad if u did!

rockwilder said:

interesting. i could agree with that.

now that i think of it there aint nothing wrong with them writing about prince today..heck, prince wrote "In This Bed I Scream" many many years later..


they had a special relationship...probably more of a bond then any non-platonic relationship they've had....aint nothing wrong with them still writing about it. Cause when i listen to "I Wanna Get On" i hear Prince all over it.

how about u come up and visit me and ill give it to you then?

sosgemini said:

the cd?

madartista said:

Porch Swing

(i think)

sosgemini said:

I've never posted, but I was actually thinking about this the other day. I, too, always wonder if Porch Swing is about Prince when I hear it. I personally think that the whole first album is about Prince, and/or Wendy and Lisa's time with the Revolution. I have heard some of Friendly Fire on Girl Bros. radio, and I always wonder if the song "So High" is about Prince, because I wonder if the line, "Just go to our garden" is a reference to Roadhouse Garden. Also, in the same song the lines, "If you run away my dear/I will love you anyway/you're so afraid that love will bring you sorrow/it's alright,make me wonder. As far as the idea that the more recent albums couldn't contain any Prince references because the girls have moved on-- I would tend to disagree. Unless I am mistaken, I was under the impression that the material on Friendly Fire was a precursor to Girl Bros. and written in the mid-nineties. Not only would that time period mark roughly a decade from their departure from the Revolution, but also, and perhaps more significantly, they were dealing with the death of a loved one, an event that prompts great reflection upon one's life and relationships; and the Prince/Wendy/Lisa relationship seemed to be quite a significant, both professionally and personally. But this is just the humble opinion of a first-time poster.

the life?

wow...great first post there 23bee...

interesting observation.....

why do i think "I want to get on" is about prince:


"Ive waited so long....I know what I want...I want to move on"

and

"Once upon a time you gave me love, once upon a time....

everything you'd touch would turn to gold, once upon a time.....


I want to get on"

thank you. Normally, I'm too shy to post, but it was a great question, I had to put my two cents in!

Glad you dropped in! I'm about to start buying some of the gal's releases and I find this thread very interesting

Yea, I'm glad you stopped in too 23bee.....Welcome and glad to hear you have stopped by girlbros radio. I also thought you wrote a wonderful 1st post. Thanks for your 2 cents!!

Thank you all very much. "I Wanna Get On" just came on and I don't know if it's just that the seed has been planted, but I can definitely hear what SOSGemini hears. "Broken innocence..., once upon a time,". Hehe, maybe it's just wishful thinking that they still wander through each other's thoughts, and are sending the occasional sonic love letter back and forth from LA to Minneapolis.

Joining in on the kudos for a great first post.

I too, don't think it unreasonable that Wendy & Lisa have continued to explore their relationship with Prince beyond their first album.

madartista said:

And why wouldn't they? Prince is a wonderful person. It just proves that Prince did as much for them as they did for him.
