hi everybody.
i was watching graffiti bridge today and as i was listening to still would stand all time it made me realize what a wonderful track it is.although i do have the secret gig '88 i never heard it.i'll play it tonight.my first exposure was on the graffiti bridge soundtrack.BROUGHT ME TO TEARS.
i don't know about anybody else but when i hear a song like that i think:this is a message from god(as i understand him)to all mankind.i also think that "trust" from the batman soundtrack was written in the same vein.i'm feelin' that song (S.W.S.A.T).so if anybody is out there,show ya love 4 this song.

i love this song, and it's a shame that it's not played live more often (or at all, really...).

Great song.

I have a really good bootleg for that, as everyone does I'm sure, in which he does some improvising, and adds extra depth to the song--it was designed beautifully for a live performance.

Excellent track
While i'm here, can i get an appreciation on the tracks
Dreamin About U, Soul Sanctuary, Holy River
3 of the best tracks from Emancipation
Ah heck, there are a load of songs from the man that we all can appreciate.

SOMEBODY...BREAK IT DOWN AND GIMME SOME HORNS!.WWHHOO!.LOL

I adore "Still Would Stand All Time"... ...Prince's vocals are so heartfelt, beautifully sung.

"Who's the fool singing 'will'? It's 'would'!

That was a funny line that I just recently heard the other day.

I Love It.. Yes, this is Soul Uplifting and Inspiring.. I Love this Gospel tune.

I still dont know what it sounds like even though i have Grafitti Bridge and have seen the movie...I only really listened 2 it one time.....in 1994.

Love it. Love it. Love it.

Great songs like SWSAT make me (almost)forget about clunker songs like Graffiti Bridge.

Great gospel tune.

The whole song is based around a handful of notes repeated over and over, and yet I like the mood it evokes, right along with the lyrics as well.

This song really makes me feel something.. the lyrics are so nice and the ending when the steeles come in strong makes me turn up the volume and sing my heart out!
Dreamin about you gets a thumbs up from me too!

Beautiful song

I could have written the above myself! I lose myself in those songs, very inspiring..they can pick me up from even the funkiest of moods. I feel lucky to have been a fan now for over 20 years. I can always find a Prince song in my collection that will pick me up and make my day brighter

LOVE THE SONG!!!.....AND WITH ITS GOSPEL-LIKE INFLUENCE,ITS EASY 4 ME 2 LOVE THIS ONE.....PRINCE IS A MASTER AT CREATING THE MUSIC!!!!

Good to see recognition for an often overlooked song. Beautiful in it's context on the movie (or am I the only one?) and my highlight from the album (along with QoU & JiR of course!).

I just love that Gospel sound. Small Club version kicks major tail.
