whoops...i thought this said FOR you, not WITH you...my faux pas! i like 'with you'...i love jill's version especially. Cool !! Shut up already, damn. | |

Gees. This thread isn't exactly raging with debate.
C'mon people. There's criticism if WE don't alk about Prince music, and apathy if we do. [Edited 1/26/06 16:51pm] Shut up already, damn. | |

Maybe because it's not particularly about sex but about the joy of just being "with" someone. Plus I love the opening lines: I've held your hand so many times But I still get the feeling I felt the very first time I think it's really touching. It seems to say so much whilst saying so little. It sums up the depth of feeling you can have for somebody just by touching their hand. It's that first rush of excitment that you have. The anticipation. Also it's the feeling that you DO hope will last and last.... [Edited 1/24/06 16:28pm] Yea, when your like 20 years old.....umm which he was by the way.....at the time yea it's cute, sweet, and quite naive....(depending on the day i can still be touched by the sentiment yes)  'Love will be your Soldier' - Nikka Costa

"With You" is one of the many reasons why Prince is my #3 fav album
when Jill Jones released a version on her album, i didn't want to hear it "With You" is Prince's baby, and should remain as such not that Jill did a bad job or anything "With You" is classic Prince, definitely | |

I don't think there's an age limit to the song ! Shut up already, damn. | |

Please. This is a classic for ONE REASON:
This song presented one of my VERY BEST "CUM FUCK ME, BITCH" LINES that I used to use on the broads back in the day... "I guess my eyes can only see as far as U" ...and after that was said... them chicks MELTED! It was at that very point that the pussy was mine to do with as I pleased! Thanx, Princey!

It's Gonna Be Lonely is better than With You.
That's a classic to me! Jill Jones' version of With You was better than Prince's. The public is squeezin' you kiddo. You'd better kick ass on your next album or else! |

 I luv the song. Yeah, I rate it as a classic. It definitely gets you in the mood. | |

I find "With You"personally to be one of Prince's blandest songs, no genius present yet whatsoever. | |

I like it better after hearing Jill Jones version | |

From what I recall its a nice sweet song but in all honesty if someone paid me a thousand pounds to sing it right now I couldn't , its not so good thats its stuck in my memory banks for life like lotsa Prince's stuff has.  Check out Chocadelica , updated with Lotusflow3r and MPLSound album lyrics April 2nd 2009 :

I like it...
but my fave ballad from Prince is "It's Gonna Be Lonely" I love this album because it has several different moods "When We're Dancing Close & Slow" is my smoke song because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." | |

I hate to say it, but I never liked this song. I don't care who sings it. He or Jill. I just don't.
I also do really like The Ladder-- excpect when he did it live in The Potrait of An Artist special. | |

pepper7 said: I really, really love this song. I find it quite short but it was the first Prince song that I found myself listening to over and over again.
DO some people find it too sentimental and sweet or do people generally find it sincere? I always think of it as simillar to "Adore" but in a rather more under-stated way. What do other people think ?? the first 2 albums i think did contain a lot of sugary sweet ballads in them and that is what i love about them."its gonna be lonely"without a doubt the best 1 4 me..such a beautiful song... u know u want 2...so do it
