Sheesh. Newbies. lol...

It's from Lovesexy... 1988.

Cool tune, but the extended maxi single is the REAL deal. Find it. You'll love it.

Take this beat... I don't mind... I got plenty others... and they're so fine.....
The public is squeezin' you kiddo. You'd better kick ass on your next album or else!

Easy, sparky!
This ain't the Parts 1, 2 & 3 of "I Wish U Heaven,"
it's something entirely different.

Calling a 20+ fan, please!

Heaven

Performed by Prince, this whimsical track was recorded in May of 1985 but was never placed on any configuration of Parade. Prince plays the main "canivalesque" theme on the organ, alternating with a different figure, played on synth sounding like a harp. The lyrics reflect Prince's belief that heaven can be a place on earth. Source: ( http://www.dtt-lyrics.com...A-Z.html#H )

...
Heaven will be here on earth
If we just try 2 love

Heaven, heaven
We will find heaven
Heaven, all in time

Other people we are glad 2 meet [another] lost
Soon our hearts are heavy till no man could bear the cross
We can dream of color if we look into the sun
[On a] day of kindness only blind will dig the one

There's only one heaven
Heaven
We will find heaven
All in time

(Heaven) {repeated in BG}

Anybody want 2 go 2 hell?
Hell no!
Don't like hell

When I go
(When U go)
Will I know
(U'll know)
When I go
(When U go)
When will I know
(U gotta bear your soul)

When I go
(When U go)
Will I know
(U will know)
When I go
(When U go)
When will I know
(U gotta bear your soul)

When I go
(When U go)
Will I know
(I don't know)
When I go
(When U go)
When will I know
(U gotta bear your soul)

The song 'Heaven' is from 1985, and if memory serves it was not intended for any specific project.


Edit: Dauphin pipped me to the post. biggrin

I do love this track, it has a very dated sound for the time it was recorded, but it's a classic.

I like leaving outtakes as such for discovery at a later date.

It makes these dry times much more barable, ya know!

Where is that song from? I don't think I've ever heard that one.

I thought he was talking about the song on
many bootlegs called Heaven.
I don't have access to my CD's now, but I think it contains the line...

"She wants a place in Heaven
She cannot face the truth
she lives on a rope of self-pity
It only requires a noose"


That is a great song...every boot that I've heard, the sound is in very
poor quality. sad
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Great track.

With a little re-work, it could have been a classic. I'm amazed P hasn't raised this one from the dead.

Boris, can you will in the details!? biggrin

U're thinking of "A Place N Heaven" I think. Wasn't that song added to Crystal Ball, tho(no hating, I haven't picked that one up yet).
Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid.

The reason I'm taking so long to buy it is because I want to find the 5 disc version for a decent price without having to pay some $40 for shipping because it's coming from the UK.

I agree,this is a spectacular song.It's one of my favorite bootleg tracks by Prince.I always felt it would have been perfect for the end of 'Under The Cherry Moon'.Imagine if this song had been used instead of "Mountains".

hmmm
