ok so i just heard a rumor about a Prince song being included on
a JW hymns cd.

well, not actually a Prince song, but Prince doing a JW hymn, it
is an instrumental piece and sounds kinda xpectation/news/trc...



where did this rumor start and who knows more about it?

I agree, it does sound like NEWS.

This is not a good thing

I hadn't heard anything about the CD, or the title, but the track has been circulating for a while. When I first heard it, word was that P had donated his version of the hymn to a JW organization. At that point, some were saying that it was an unitled hymn, but I'm not sure on that point.

AndyKeen's description is fairly accurate. Its nothing groundbreaking, but its not unpleasant either.

yeah, i've heard tales about these JW hymn recordings - i think they were recorded for private use within the congregation he belongs to, and most people i've communicated with who have heard the tracks have been folks close to the church who have been respectful about not letting these tracks slip into the "purple underground"...though i'm sure they're out there somewhere.

It's like Alexa De Paris on happy gas. Awful.

Where can the song be heard without the involvement of Jehova's Witness meetings? And will he put out some type of Holy Scriptures CD now? OOOOhhh I can't wait

Download it from [URL snipped...we can talk about the music, but please don't link to unauthorized material, k? - anx]
Ick.

sounds more like from the XENOPHOBIA/XPECTATION period to me.

oh is it him, is it him?

Is this really him?


Bummer.

Prince ought to hook up with Marilyn Manson and join The Blood & Shit Temple Of Satan's Lusty Horns (or whatever devil worshippers call their religion). The music he made for them would at least be interesting.

Ya know, I've had this conversation before. Whatever music produced with a satanic influence definitely wouldn't be boring.


On an aside: I wonder if P.'s actually gonna stick with this JW kick? On the one hand, he seems pretty happy -if boring as fuck - recently. On the other, he's a fickle guy. Who knows? Maybe he'll change his mind. Maybe he won't.

i think marilyn manson's music is boring as listening to my radiator crackle. in fact, i get more comfort from listening to my radiator than i do enjoyment from a MM album. i always think his stuff sounds like pearl jam in a bad mood.

i find it funny that folks are just now startin to get wind of this track...it's been out for a while. i remember hearing it....whoo, about a few months back. a year ago, hell i don't exactly remember when but it was a while ago.

and yep, it's nothin to write home about.

I'd heard it, but I wasn't aware it was P.

Disappointing is an understatement.
