single trilogies here's a good one
take me with u, raspberry beret, and manic monday. let's hear some more! from allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/c...0e4j877w3e Song Review by Stewart Mason The psych pop opening single from Around the World in a Day, "Raspberry Beret" actually isn't all that different from Purple Rain's "Take Me With U," which in fact had charted less than two months before "Raspberry Beret" was released. With a similarly woozy string section (an unconventional lineup of violin and two cellos, one of which was played by keyboardist Lisa Coleman's brother David Coleman) and acoustic rhythm guitar line, "Raspberry Beret" is less chirpily sunshiny than "Take Me With U," with its wryly comic depiction of a teenager's first time set to a melody that's a little more melancholy and a tempo that's a little more reflective than you might remember them as. Taken together, "Take Me With U," "Raspberry Beret" and the even more wistful "Manic Monday" (soon a hit for the Bangles) constitute a trilogy of sorts, Prince's tribute to '60s AM pop. Incidentally, U.K. twee-popsters the Lightning Seeds copped their name from a mis-heard line in this song's bridge, "The thunder drowns out what the lightning sees." | |
