this has been my favorite P song since the first time I heard it, and I go back to 82, I just saw the video on cyberclips, Mayte looked so cute, I wish they could have stayed together and happy as they once were, but I guess shit happens to all of us.

Yes, Holy River is a beautiful song. I love it.

To an extent it still suffers from the sterility of Emancipation as a whole, but stand-alone, it's a standout from the 90s.

lovely song, always liked it

Cool song, cool vid. Just another reason why kicked so much ass

great song.

Cant stand the thing! One of the worst ever prince songs i think.

It's a sentimental song, which is why some people don't like it, I guess. But it contains a strong spiritual statement which can be traced back to practically the beginning of his career. HR is the long-anticipated moment where he finds his soul mate.

not to mention some kick ass guitar.

Very nice indeed.

It is a lovely, heartwarming song. One of the best tracks off Emancipation.

my thoughts exactly

I think this is one of the most personal and powerful songs he has ever written.

I love it.

I love this song too, especially the guitar at the end. At times it's a little too "rhyme-y", but that's OK too.

"But this time I was listenin'"

Don't know why, but I love that. I play that song for the stretch part of a fitness class I teach; people always ask me who it is.

Its a great song. Maybe slighty MOR though, not that I care.


It can make a tear fall sometimes. Infact, i should not hear it at the mo', as it would remind me that my loved one is going away to uni soon. SO no happy ending for me (unlike the song)

didnt she leave him for tommy lee or somthing like that?

She did date Tommy Lee, but not until much later.

I Have to agree. When this sond first came out I wasn't very touched, but now I cry. Don't know why because it has no emotional or symbolic meaning to me.

Much Love,

Dang I'm turning into a puss

Happens to the best of us. j/k

I liked it the first time I heard it even b-4 the video aired

I like that song

I like this song , but why is there a pause in the video in cyberclips before the guitar starts in? But on the Emancipation cd the guitar starts right away.
