The most cheesy and yet oddly moving, and profound P song ever... I just downloaded the Graffiti Bridge outtake Seven Corners. What is it about this song that is so moving? It's a spoken-word/rap piece from Aura with pitter-patter beats and dashes of piano chords, with bass strings. It's so cheesy and yet I find myself moved.
Seven corners, two souls fight One wants money, one wants light Without peace, without love Nothing's ever gonna turn out right Perhaps it's got more to do with the spirit of the work -- a genuine attempt to promote peace and love with abstract art -- then what it turned out to be. I don't know, but it's the guiltiest Prince pleasure ever. | |

Aura is Ingrid Chavez, and she is a kind of 'beat poet'. They got together to put some of her poems to music. So it's more likely she wrote it and Prince did the music, or at the very least it is co-written. | |

...actually its the 1st part of the Bridge movie, kinda an introduction 2 Aura-its the 1st thing she says on screen...but wait-there's more!!! Aura looks pensive up 2wards the sky & says, "what ever u ask of me, i will do..." was she talking 2 God or was it a stage direction from Prince | |

I've always liked Walk Don't Walk for it's simplistic sincerity. | |

Dolphin is pretty cheesy but probably my favorite song. Sums up what he was going through at the time. Check this song out at:
