1. Dolphin - Much pain in this one

2. Beautiful Strange - I can't help thinking that this was about Gregory.

3. Anna Stesia - 'nuff said

4. Into The Light/Eye Will

5. One Song

6. Free

7. The Ladder

8. Pappa

9. The Holy River

10. Last December - Can't help it think about 9/11 with this one. I know it wasn't written for it, it just reminds me though.

11. Purple Rain


The reason for so many newer songs is because I don't think he was free anough to express himself as much before.

Off the top of my head, in random order. Some move me romantically, some make me want to "party", some make me cry, some describe my life

Gold
Beautiful Ones
Diamonds & Pearls
Adore
Sometimes It Snows In April
Scandalous Sex Suite
Power Fantastic
Another Lonely Christmas
Endorphinmachine

The beautiful ones
adore
take me with you
I love u in me
joy in repetition

I gotta say it would be [GOODBYE] & [POWER FANTASTIC] but those r just my choices.


peace

"Sometimes It Snows In April" and "Condition Of The Heart". No doubt about it!

Goodbye
I Hate U
Condition of the Heart
The One
Avalanche (musically, not lyrically)



Interesting how most of Prince's most moving songs (at least to me) were done in the 90s.

I was wondering when this one would get mentioned. Didnt' he write this for his wedding?

Many of the songs I see as Prince's most moving have already been mentioned...The Beautiful Ones, Damn U, Joy in Repetion etc...

The song that is moving me now is ONA. For me it just strikes a chord. Didn't see it mentioned before, if it was my bad, but this song is just moving me now and I love it!

PURPLE RAIN.Late summer 1984 ,the reason I am a fam today.

The CROSS listened to it the morning I was baptized.

ANNA STESIA ,ELEPHANTS & FLOWERS, THE EVERLASTING NOW & LAST DECEMBER.

Lately the Prince music that moves me the most is the horns and guitar in the extended version of Billy Jack Bitch. That just takes my breath away, it is so awesome.

The "ONA" CD is moving me the most right now...

God



the love we make



still would stand all time



the beautiful ones



when doves cry



sweet baby



(too many really to mention)

Hmmm... amazing! I could never decide whitch one!

I agree with most of the choices I've seen The Beautiful Ones and Anastesia are the most moving to me. Here are a few others that leave me emotional..

So Dark
One of Your Tears
Gold
Greatest Romance Ever Sold
One Night Alone
Sometimes It Snows In April
When We're Dancing Close and Slow
With You
Darling Nikki
When 2 R In Love
Another Lonely Christmas
4 The Tears in Your Eyes
Everywhere
Old Friends For Sale
Scandalous
Joy In Repitition

everywhere, adore, sensual everafter, I can't love you anymore, be my mirror, still would not will stand all time. that is just to name a few.

My choices are
A)the Ladder
B)The Love we make
C)Still will stand all time
D)She gave her Angels

My two votes would be for:

"Still Would Stand All Time"
and, surprise, "Pearls B4 the Swine"

For the latter, did you all pick up that it's about fighting within religions --
"Can I offer you baklava," [referring to Arabs]
"Or a bagel with cream cheese?" [referring to Jews]
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

It's truly a profound song... listen to it again!!!

Alright, I've narrowed it down...

these 3 are tops for me...Anna Stesia and Sometimes it Snow in April, i'll say no more about those..

the last one, and I think this has been tops for me the past few years, is the Come On acapella version, haunting, gorgeous and the harmonies stand out brilliantly once all else is taken away.
