No, I think he means that Prince can hardly be blamed for not bothering to cater for a restrictive mac that only caters for 3% of the computer market....

One word: Beautiful. I just love my old man. I taped the video last night. Glad to see that the public is acknowledging him again. As far as the naysayers go, you can't please everybody. Prince has been there and done that. He doesn't have to do it again.

I dig it - GREAT job Salma!!!

His hair is too black though, I almost wish he'd let it go a little gray

I think the song is much better than some people here wrote yesterday. What were they expecting? When doves cry pt. 2 ??
I really liked the video. It is well made and full of sensuality.With the right promotion behind it it could be a huge hit.

Im soooo in love with the video

I do sense some Mayte vibes

Very nice song, very nice video.

I agree with the Mayte comments. That second to last shot where the woman is projected onto the fabric like some ghost and Prince reaches out for her without being able to connect had a true ring of sadness to it, in my opinion.

Does anyone know if it's possible to download the video? If so, how?

Ya know what this song reminds me of?
George Michael's "Jesus To A Child". Even the vibe of the video kinda put me in that same space. I don't think it's a bad song at all. In fact, it's beautiful. Just not what some people were expecting or hoping for. But once again, that's Prince.

Rebeljuice said:

it's not the most melodic thing he's ever written, but i think the arrangement is very nice and extremely well thought-out. it's not one of those catchy songs that you find yourself humming on the way to work, but i think it's really pretty to listen to. i do prefer his up-tempo stuff or his more passionate slow jams, but as mid-tempo stuff goes, i'm in favor of it.

wow...
very nice video! Very well done, beautiful to look at.
I wasn't feeling the song too much ...but the video certainly changed that. 8)

I really didn't expect to like this song, as soooo many folks were bashing it, and I've long complained about the whole ballad-as-first-single philosophy he has mostly subscribed to in the last 10 years. It sounded like it would be yet another cheap retread of "Scandalous".

Well, I'm pleasantly surprised! I'm LOVING the bossa nova feel, and I'm quite happy that he is doing a different kind of ballad. I've noticed several people have claimed to hear a Santana influence, but I don't get it. Is it because it has a latin vibe? To me, it sounds more like a downtempo Tito Puente number than anything by Carlos. This song is sensual, sophisticated and smooth. Sure, it isn't a funk number, but it sure doesn't sound like too much he has done in the past (and that makes me happy, since I love it when he doesn't repeat himself).

Lyrically, it is quite good. This song makes the best use yet of the Garden of Eden metaphor, and the overall feel is quite romantic.

The video is simply fantastic, through and through. Stunningly beautiful, and it truly fits the vibe of the song. Salma has done an amazing job, and really should direct more often. She's got a great sense of style.

Said this on another thread, but for Mac folks, the vid's up on Housequake now. Works with Safari and WMP.

Beautiful, and smooth. More gorgeous on every listening, and the video is just right.

TAC has the most gorgeous lighting that I think I've ever seen in a music video.

Yea i am digging this track, i am curious to know if Prince will be playing alot of Santana styled guitar on this new album, id like that.

Our whole copmpany went to MAC last year and I will NEVER buy a MS based PC again. It is like going back to a Hyundai after owning a Mercedes.

Our whole company went to MAC last year and I will NEVER buy a MS based PC again. It is like going back to a Hyundai after owning a Mercedes.

And your MAC is so great that it just double posted your comment?

Are you using Firefox or Netscape? They'll only let you play it if you're using Internet Explorer. Fuckers.

I see the add, and then the screen goes black.... and nothing
Can't see it either.

JediMaster said:

Co-sign. Just gorgeous. I'm getting more and more into it, both the video and the song. The lush images of the video are going to stay with me every time I hear this song, I think.

Why is it that he can still KILL me with something as small as the little moan in between "I just wanna thank you" and "each and every day"?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Yeah, I was like, "ooh, where can I get that bedspread?"

I really like the video..

Very soft, sensual.

what it looks like to me is prince is building up excitment for the album. most likely he will release another video for 3121 before the album hits. giving the general public a chance to get into it before releasing the album right away that is what most artist do.

Nice I still think he should have learned how to pronounce the words more properly. It's not as bad as the announcer on one of those commercials....

It's pretty good considering he's from the Midwest. At least he rolled the "r" a bit. The the softer, full-tongue sound of the "t" and the hard "c" in Spanish are really hard for some folks to do for some reason.

andykeen said:

no it's boring, it sounds like a remix of the one with greatest romance.

I wasn't into it immediately. It took a few listens but i'm liking this song now.

I kinda like the song.....the video's alright.
