I know ur heart is beating My drummer tells me so But if u take ur life for granted ur beating heart will go So don't sleep until ur guilty 4 sinners all are we There's others doin far worse than us So b glad that u are free... (I feel this is where political/social freedom starts to b addressed) Do you really think Prince sits down and thinks 'Right I'll write a bit about politics...Hmmm a bit about social freedom... a bit about spiritualism...???' I'm not sure that anyone could write a song with that amount of calculation. [Edited 12/1/05 18:40pm] Shut up already, damn. | |

I'm late, but when it comes to "Free," I like the proximity of the "SKIP" button. Or the fact that I can "UNCHECK" it in iTunes.
... Because they hate us for our freedoms... | |

I adore it now, but it took a while to grow on me. I'll admit to skipping it a few times, but not anymore    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

No, rather I think he was on a flow that started with freedom and encapsulated the spiritual social and political. I don't think he sat down and calculated it per se, but it is all there obviously. The part that doesn't fit to you, made perfect sense to him. (for the record I thought it was odd at first also) BTW I was originally reffering to the comment about the armies marching part being to much TRC for 1999.

During the post 911 year I wished that Prince would of performed it for one of the televised benifit concerts. No other song just that one would of been so wonderful. Or it should of been re-released and proceeds go towards a good charity. | |

I played this to a non-Prince fan and she said the same thing. [Edited 12/5/05 13:52pm] Shut up already, damn. | |
