PrintableNasalhair said: pepper7 said: I disagree because I think that it's not plasticky. It maybe sentimental but it is genuinely romantic. It's not "Hey baby..you really do it for me...lets get it on" It's got a spiritual and emotional depth to it. "You own my heart and mind". "If God one day struck me blind your beauty I'd still see". Thats a really beautiful sentiment. Prince is telling her it's more than just physical attraction. He sees the real person. Whether you believe what he's saying or not is up to you. But the fact that he's trying to express himself is what's truly lovely about this song. You don't know that he doesn't mean it. The fact that the song goes on and on suggests that he's at great pains to get his point across. He keeps saying "I'm just tryin' 2 say / I'm just tryin' 2 say ". He really is trying to emphasis his point here ! When I say "plasticky" I mean in terms of the sound of the music and the production. I dislike the synthetic tone of the music, and the fact that it seems so overproduced, adding to its plastickyness, and making it stick out like a sore thumb on the comparatively raw-sounding "SOTT". If "Adore" means something to you, and if you think it sounds sincere, great. It just does nothing for me in the slightest. But hold on. In your last post you said.. To me "Adore" sounds extremely plastic, like too many other "soul ballads" out there at the time and still today. Songs like this have never done a thing for me and I find the whole thing completely artificial, the lyrics sounding like some guy going completely over the top talking to a woman after a night of passion but meaning none of it. I always get flamed for saying this, but it is how I truly feel - "Adore" is hugely overrated and is one of the weakest tracks on "SOTT" for me. So YOU were talking about the song lyrics. Now you say it's the production that is too plasticky . I'm confused... !! Shut up already, damn. | |

The lyrics sound like somebody making insincere remarks to a woman they are trying to seduce, which always make me think of the "Smoove B" columns on "The Onion" (www.theonion.com). Combine the two - the plastic production, the tacky, sickly lyrics - and it just sounds artificial and soulless to me. But as I said... If you like it, great. I just don't, not one little bit. |

It's a great song to play when making love! 
But, because I've never had a girlfriend, I put it on when having a wank.  | |

But, because I've never had a girlfriend, I put it on when having a wank. "And that just proves my point." 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. | |

I think any fan will grow to understand what major opus Adore is sooner or later. To say it's the greatest song of all time is of course over the top, but I think it's a perfect song and a very hard one to pull. [Edited 1/16/06 14:28pm] | |

Nasalhair said: pepper7 said: But I think that's all it's supposed to be. It captures that moment in time perfectly where you just want to savour it an you don't want it to end. When you fall in love with someone the world does seems a happier place and you walk around with a stupid smile on your face. And at that moment in time you think that everything is going to stay perfect forever. And I guess you do write over-the-top love songs!! Actually I don't. I don't write any songs at all, just books. My problem with "Adore" is that as I mentioned in my original post it just sounds so plasticky - as all "soul ballads" do to me - and it comes over as being completely soulless. I've never liked R&B or songs like this, so whenever Prince does them I always switch off. "Adore" has never done a single thing for me, and it never will - it just isn't my cup of tea. ----- "sounds extremely plastic, like too many other "soul ballads' If real soul ballads are plastic to you then you are just not feeling any of the soul and emotion coming out of this type of music.

A spectacular vocal performance.  | |

It's amazing; just amazing. Prince's vocals are breathtaking. That falsetto has never sounded more romantic or heavenly.
The lyrics are easily the sweetest thing I've ever heard in a love song. They feel genuine, like Prince is really just being himself, and yet they're still poetic and grand. The musical arrangements? Top notch. The song is alive and has endless amounts of soul. It's dripping of soul. This isn't a contrived ballad or Prince mailing it in; it's a euphoric experience that you can only appreciate if you are or ever have been in love with a human being. The greatest song of all time? I don't personally think so, but it'll always be somewhere on any greatest songs list I make. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

As if Keith Sweat is singing to some Lady.... You are comparing P singing Adore to KEITH SWEAT?? LOL, I see you are a little wet behind the ears up in here, and you should have your NPG pass revoked. If you had said Luther, or Smokie, I would have said that you were just plain crazy. But, KEITH SWEAT!!! You are so delirious that you would probably choose a Big Mac over a Filet Mignon. Catch up newbie, there's alot you need to learn about the NPG flow!!! Hands down, his best.....and in top 5 of all-time ballads EVER written. Period.

You like "soul music" - no problem there. Personally I like soul music too, but "classic" soul music, such as Atlantic soul, northern soul, soul from the 1960s, classic Motown, James Brown... If you read carefully you'll note that I said "soul ballads", by which I mean the kind of bedroom seduction songs of Luther Vandross, Alexander O'Neal, Keith Sweat, Boyz 2 Men, R Kelly... and so on. And before somebody goes nuts, no I'm not comparing Prince to them here - far from it. To me, "Adore" sounds completely fake - to me. Anybody could sing a song and say "until the end of time I truly adore you" and either mean it or not, but the backing of "Adore" is what kills it for me. Take time and grant me the courtesy of reading back over my earlier postings. You'll see that I say I don't like the production of "Adore" because it sounds too plasticky to me. As a standalone song, outside the context of "SOTT" it may be perfectly acceptable (I still wouldn't like it myself because it isn't my thing at all) but when viewed alongside the raw, almost demo-like songs elsewhere on "SOTT" it stands out like a sore thumb, too slick, too glossy. For me, the overproduction, the syrupy backing simply detracts from the lyrics, and so as sincere and heartfelt as they may be to me they just sound fake. Right from the start of my following Prince (1984) I've never liked the big "seduction ballads". "Do Me, Baby", "Adore", "Scandalous", "When 2 R In Love", "Te Amo Corazon" and so on, all grate with me, not appealing to me at all. Does this make me cold-hearted? Does this mean I've never been in love? Does this mean I'm not human? NO! It just means I don't like that kind of song - simple as that! You can like "Adore" as much as you like, you can play it every day, you can seduce partners with it and have the best sex ever... whatever you like, that's fine. Personally I don't like "Adore" and that's my decision, and as a human being that's just fine - we all have our own feelings, thoughts and desires. May I ask one thing, and this goes to everybody here... Have the maturity to accept the opinions of other people. Just because they don't agree with you doesn't mean they are wrong, and for you to constantly slap them down just because you disagree smacks of immaturity. Grow up. |

If seduction ballads grate on you that badly you need to lighten up. We are need a little seduction in our lives. ( Take a deep breath and chill) Laurarichardson... 1. "Having the maturity not to take a discussion about a song so seriously..." My comments were not specifically directed at you - I replied to your message simply because it was a reply to mine, but my comments were directed to the board in general. Why am I taking this so seriously? Read the other comments on here and see how seriously others take this. I am sick to the back teeth of somebody stating their opinion and dozens of other members slapping them down because they don't feel the same way. I am not taking "Adore" seriously, more the attitude of several members on here. It seems as though freedom of speech is not allowed here, and any comments along the lines of "actually Prince has done some rubbish songs" just aren't allowed, and rather than be fans some people here tend to be sycophants who take the opinion that every note and every song Prince has recorded is perfect, and those who disagree are just plain wrong. Clearly you like "Adore", and that is great - I'm happy that you have a song that you like and that means something to you. I have Prince songs I truly love, but many of my favourites are not other peoples' favourites, but that's fine. We all like different things, and that is because we are human. 2. "Nothing wrong with the production of the song" Again, I tend to agree, but if you read my original comments I say that "Adore" sounds overproduced in the context of the rest of the album. "SOTT" has received countless reviews and comments saying how raw it sounds, that songs like "Dorothy Parker", "Starfish and Coffee" and "It" for three sound very much like demos. "Adore", however, is ultra-smooth, and against the rough edges of the other songs it seems out of place, and this is what jars with me the most. In addition, the glossy, over-slick backing makes the lyrics sound syrupy to me and this only makes it worse. Personally, and this is my opinion, I would have preferred "Adore" if it had been either a solo piano backing, or a solo acoustic guitar, which would have made it sound much more raw and intimate, and also truer to the spirit of the rest of the album. Again, my opinion only. 3. "You got to admit it is better than a lot of his other ballads" Lyrically, yes, I agree - better to be saying "I love you" than "bend over, dear - this will blast the wax out of your ears" or words to that effect. 4. "If seduction ballads grate on you that badly you need to lighten up. We are need a little seduction in our lives." Seduction and love don't grate with me, and yes we all need a little seduction in our lives, but I've never liked songs on the subject. Can't you see that we can't all like the same things, the same songs, the same types of music? Do we have to all like the same things? No! 5. "( Take a deep breath and chill)" The same goes to you. Now let this lie. I don't like "Adore" but you do. End of! |

Nasalhair and SpecialKay, you guys are way too serious for this board. If people say that you are not "in the flow", because you dont like a song....THEN SO BE IT!!! Is it slander, is it a crime....NO, GET OVER IT. Although, I sometimes dont agree with Ms. Richardson, she is expressing HER view. If she thinks that you are crazy for not liking Adore (this time I fully agree with her), then ignore it. You guys act like the world is coming to an end, because somebody called you names. You know, "Sticks and Stones.....you know the rest.
SpecialEd, oops, I mean SpecialKay, yes you did compare Prince's Adore to that of "Keith Sweat singing to a Lady". You, like I said before, are delusional(my opinion). By your own admission, your Grandma is the one to blame for your lack of soul, but we still can help you gain some "flow". I see that both of you are UK residents....I'm wondering if that has anything to do with your views on "funk". I wouldnt think so, but I'm also curious if you guys are as passionate about UK "dental hygiene"? That seems to be a more pressing concern, than that of people disagreeing with you blokes from the wrong side of the ocean. OOOOH!!! ***NOW LET THE BATTLE BEGIN, LOLOLOLOL*** "If you wanna feel the FUNK....then you have to know the SOUL!!!"-----(Up and Down...just like a seesaw, Back and Forth...oh girl I'm fallin) | |

I always compare Adore to Pink Cashmere too. I tend to like Pink Cashmere better, but ADORE is ALL THAT.
I'm a late comer to the song.....but it's definetley up there. Who did he write it for? (Sorry don't know Princes life story, just dig his music). Anyways, whoever he wrote it for, don't tell me he still don't lover 'er. NO DUDE has them lyrics in 'em, w/out it being real and EVERLASTING love! | |
