Ok, no matter how cheesy people think this is, "Wherever U go, Whatever U do" has just pushed "Holy river" off the number 1 spot of my favourite prince's tracks!

Its so beautiful! I dnt no how he does what he does, but This song goes straight 2 my heart!

Its just beautiful, no other way of explaining it!

This song was Prince's audition to become a writer for Hallmark.

LOL OOPS sorry hun, my thread was about the song "wherever U go, whatever U do" lol but yea "holy river" is an amazing song and on the Emancipation CD, sorry!

i love this song, too. it marks the close of a chapter in my life.

This song took me a while to get into, but now I like it alot. Very inspirational for me.

Reminds me a little of MJs "Keep the Faith."

Musically, is it anything great? No. But I love the song too. It's. . . comforting.

LOL I misread it sry

It's a nice song, but 'HOLY RIVER' You must be getting bored with some of the Prince Music you have all ready...hehe

But you know, some of his music grows on you at different times, that's how you learn to appreciate some of them more and weed out the ones you really like from the ones you don't like. It took me time to realize which were some of my favorite songs because I either liked all of them or didn't give a chance to others, to then find out a couple of weeks, months, or years later that some of the ones I didn't like are classic to me or I like more than the ones all ready on top of my list...I like 'Wherever U go, it's simple, nice * sweet, but 'Holy River' is no comparison to that one. 'Holy River' was one of the songs I didn't like too to much on first listen, until I realized what a Beautiful song it actually is...

Come on you guys, you're missing the most special thing about this song. Prince sounds more human and more vulnerable than he ever has before or since. That is why I love the song, and he sounds sincere on it.

i like Rave but i cant help but think that Prince was going through a rough patch with Mayte when he wrote the songs.

muirdo said:

Of course he was. They were breaking up. That's what makes it a good album. If he had been in that musical place at a less emotional time in his life, the album would have totally sucked.

I agree about the humanity and vulnerability, on several tracks on Rave.

Bomb Ass Track!

whatever comes from the heart reaches the heart.

it's a perfect pop song, simple but very catchy!

sweet melody, his voice is very soulful!!

funky guitar licks too!

goddamn i really love it, one of my faves,gets better everytime!


and the lyrics are heartfelt:

Oh-ooh

Wherever U go, whatever U do
Oh please, remember that I’ll always be there 4 U
U don’t have 2 call, U don’t have 2 say
Just think about me and I’ll be on my way
I don’t have 2 worry, I’m sure U’ll be fine
Cuz if U stay happy, then what’s your’s is mine
Wherever U go, whatever U do
Remember that I’ll always be there 4 U
(Oh Baby)

Wherever U R, think of your dreams
Oh please, remember life ain’t always what it seems
4 each rainy day (rainy day)
That comes your way
The sun will come shining and U’ll be okay
Keep on smiling - every girl and boy
Remember when U were children U had toys
Wherever U R, think of your dreams
Remember that dreams become the life U lead

Whatever U play, it’s okay 2 lose
Ooh sometimes (sometimes...)
As long as U learn from every game U choose
If one thing is sure, U’ll always endure
If U try your best at everything U do
Say what U mean and mean what U say
The price 4 a broken heart - it‘s 2 much 2 pay
And nothing is worth it, if U don’t have 2 try
The higher the stakes - the higher the sky

Wherever U go, whatever U do
Please remember
Remember that I’ll always be there 4 U

Last December (on Rainbow Children) is the most recent Prince song that does that for me.

Wherever U go, whatever U do
Please remember
Remember that I’ll always be there 4 U[/quote]

I liked this lyric so much that I stole it for a song about a child who I don't get to see anymore because adults don't know how to act. Mine's goes

And when you're grown and feeling lost and alone, just think of me and I am there.

I have a little trouble with this lyric. I mean, it's staightforward, but it doesn't seem to fit in the song for me. Not sure where he's going with it.

Thoughts?
