um oh um oh god damn i love both tracks
but there is something about FIML that does it to me everytime
i think its got to do with seeing SOTT with my ex and that track just summed it up for us at the time.
WHY SHOULD I DO THAT, WHEN I CAN DO THIS

Not wild on either of them, but I'd have to go for "Forever In My Life." "Adore" bores the pants off me.

Co-sign!

If Prince had only done one song in his life..."Adore" would be his masterpiece.
If he were a one-hit wonder, then you would be hard-pressed to find a better song that encapsulates his soulfulness, his flawless falsetto, his poetry, his romance, his humor, and his whole vibe.

Forever In My Life on the SOTT video where he acts like he's wiping away tears is great. He should have done "Adore" in that film as well.


That was the glaring omission from the SOTT video. Anyone know why he didn't sing it? Too hard to recreate live? Has anyone ever heard him sing it live?

Parts of the song were done at the Lovesexy shows.

I can't believe you cats are dissin' "FIML" like that! Fellas, let me set the scene...Ladies, peep the scenario:

A cat decides he wants to lock it up with his broad. Said dude, armed with a purple rose and his best smellin' cologne (For me, I'd splash on my Old Spice! biggrin , gets 'em every time!) goes up to his shorty and starts pourin' "FIML" out like it was his very last breath, cry, and moment in life with her...

Now, fellas...that shit is off the hook. Ladies, you know GAWDDAYUM WELL U'll be moist between the thighs AND cheeks if a cat came at you with his wedding proposal like that! "YES" from her is a DONE DEAL!

All I know is, "FIML" is my WEDDIN' SOAWNG!

co-sign. Adore is a classic no doubt. But it's a bit over the top, with lyrics about what would happen if God struck him blind and all. FIML is simple, straightforward and real.

It's called art. lol

Forever in my life is a good song, but ask yourself if it's a Princely song-- something unlike any other artist. No, it's not. I agree that simple is good but Adore is great and nobody but Prince could do it. The music, voice, lyrics, and humor all come together perfectly.

Hell, the first 10 seconds of Adore wins.

ummm..why are you trying to rationalize other peoples preference? the question was :forever in my life or adore- which do you prefer?

not: please pontificate on which song had the greater artistic achievement.


biggrin

your statement is wrapped up in a big o' bow called IMHO. just like all of ours.

Wow!!!! There is no comparison. Both are great. Perfect examples of creative change. biggrin

"If God one day struck me blind Your beauty I'd still see
Love is 2 weak 2 define Just what U mean 2 me"

That Is str8 pimpin on wax! Deep funk 2 tha fullest!

I have been laid more from kickin the lines 2 this song than any other.

Marvin Gaye's Come on go with me holds a strong second.

Trust me, play these 2 cutz back to back. Over and over. Think about what is on display here. Same subject matter. Different real and rod.

I love Adore, but the live version of Forever in my life from SOTT movie kills me evertime I watch it. Great stuff.

"Forever In My Life" (LP version) is a little too stripped down for me. I almost find it boring.

"Adore" is possibly Prince's greatest ballad ever. No contest.

Adore...That is one of the greatest loves songs I have ever heard. The lyrics are unbelievable, his musicianship is on point and his voice...lord his voice!!! Prince's lead and background vocal layering, coupled with the Hammond Organ and bassline are sheer genius. Leeds and Bliss laid it down as well.

The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

My feelings on this exactly. Both of these songs work for anyone whom is in that particular mood. Live version of forever in my life is much better.

And for the lady that pants were coming off from being bored. Getting the pants off is the point.
