Love... Thy Will Be Done makes my heart feel warm and fuzzy. How 'bout you?
And I ain't talking about the rubbish version from the original configuration of Exodus. | |

I agree. One of the few songs he gave away that stands up to his own most mature and best work. I'd love to hear someone cover this with real instrumentation and perhaps strings - it could easily rival Sinead's version of NC2U.
I love the Paisley Park mix of this too. Very gentle and moody. | |

Great song indeed  
The intro was used on the Septimo performance too (Motherless Child) [Edited 1/20/06 10:51am] | |

One of my favorite songs...the lyrics are so heartfelt and his passion is clearly evident. I have a verison from a Paisley Performance on Mayte's birthday and it was oustanding...great guitar work and powerful vocals.  | |

Love, love, LOVE this. Never fails to make me feel better - even if I was feeling great to begin with! The Normal Whores Club | |

Totally agree. So glad I also saw it live once on the European Jam of the year tour! | |

Yet, another song I haven't ever heard. News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |

Why did the 1990 version never make an album? | |

Absolutely beautiful song that Martika did no real justice to. | |

I think i have this version, but i was always under the ipression it was princes birthday not mayte's. Its the best version out there. Soaring guitar solos, and much more passionat vocal delivery. The 1990 studio version is nice, layered vocals n'all, but it doesnt even touch this live version. | |

I prefer Martika´s kitchen song. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

Not impressed. Had this been on a Prince album, people would be calling it "one of the cheesiest Prince songs ever". The same might go even for "Open Book" - you love it when it's unreleased, but you hate it if it gets out oneday. | |
