I love this song, I remember I discovered it when I left Testament running on this really sunny day and went out Rowing. When I came back it was 2 mins into the song and I stayed and cooked some food and I remember sitting down and thinking "Woah! How long's this song been going?!" and I really liked it so I left it on repeat for the rest of the day.

it's like this: a while ago, 'nana got the chance to listen to the long version of "billy's sunglasses". it was so long and so repetitive, it kinda...scared 'im a bit.

everytime someone mentions the song 'round here, 'nana freaks out some. nod

I like it. It's nothing particular outstanding - it is a rehearsal jam - but the guitar playing is good. And it's got that lovely Purple Rain Era sound to it. biggrin

The big pay off is near the end when you hear Prince
make up the riff of Strange Relationship and then
teach the rest of the band the chords! thumbs up!

There is a great song in the fog somewhere,but it is absolutely flirting with insanity to try and listen to it in one sitting like I did years ago. This is probably why P never went back through the tape and edited out a song. Miles would do stuff like that,too.Just play and play for a damn hour then leave it up to the producer to edit the music into a concise song that won't make you jump off a building.
