How cool is that song?

Thunder all through the night with a promis to see jesus in the morning light.

Take My Hand. It will be all Right.

Common save you're soul tonight.

I agree with u 4 the first time! Thunder IS a great song!

sexxydancer said:

What does it mean to you?

Too many great songs to state that one is the greatest. I guess its all a matter of perception!

karmatornado said:

no. It's a matter of realization.

Greatness, being the greatest is a ladder of grace and glory all the way up and down the idealist nature of Greatness.

If I were to ask you what the Greatest thing was, unless you were a fool, you would tell the Truth. God is the Greatest thing. There's no debate.

The ladder of greatness therefore must at top be God.

Thus, Thunder is thusfar Prince's Greatest song.

Period.

karmatornado said:

Agreed,cuz all Prince songs r great 2 me!I could never pick any 1 2 b the best! Thunder is a great song,tho!

MickG said:

Y?

sexxydancer said:

Tony the Tiger says "They're Great", although I could argue that Prince's songs aren't all Great, I won't, but still as far as greatEST songs go, you've got to follow the truth.

MickG said:

Whatever u say,sacredwarrior.....

sexxydancer said:

You figured that out hmm...

I'm going to have to get more tricky.

MickG said:

U can't possibly b any trickier...

sexxydancer said:

Oh Really...

You Sure about That?

Would you like to Test your Theory?

MickG said:

Wow this is a bold statement. This could actually be another thread. But you are entitled to your opinion. So any song by Prince that speaks of God is the greatest. What about GOD itself? This is just an ass backwards theory.

MickG said:

Soooo....what does the "thunder" mean?

karmatornado said:

I guess you misunderstood.

No not just any song by Prince that mentioned God would be the greatest, but the most truthfilled, closest through direction linking to the Greatest thing would be his Greatest Achievement thus far.

Although Prince might disagree on the song, I'm sure he'd agree on the premis.

MickG said:

I sure would...

xplnyrslf said:

First off, I'm not Prince, and it would be best if he deciphered his own songs. However, I'll assume you ment to me.

I believe the song speaks mostly clearly enough, if one can assume some understandings about topics of nature defined by prince.

Love = God (in prince's idealisticly natured fantisy world)

Thus all you would have to do is replace the world love with god.

sexxydancer said:

Okay

I love the first word, but it goes downhill from there

sexxydancer said:

sexxydancer r u referring to me or the term?
cuz i aint mick. i have a vagina.

vivid said:

Ummm Well, it's hard to move up from such a word isn't it?

I however Love that Song!!!

sacredwarrior said:

ps: thunder is a great song. but wasn't it simply inspired
by the wizzard of Oz?

I've never heard Prince explain it. However if you are saying that's what Prince said about it, I'd like to point out all the things Prince has said before that made little sense. He's nutty as the mad hatter.

Thunder - all thru the night
Promise to see Jesus in the morning light
Take my hand, it'll be alright
C'mon save your soul tonight
Oooo - Thunder
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Love - nobody know just how it was born
Love - first came to me with the radio on
Jumped up in my body with an attitude
Kissed me on the mouth and said Your leader take me to
'Twas like thunder all thru the night
And a promise to see jesus in the morning light
Love say Take my hand, it'll be alright
C'mon save your soul tonight
Love's kiss was running all thru my veins
The bed started shakin', I don't know who to blame
Me or this flower right in front of my eyes
Is this my sweet savior or the devil in disguise
'Twas like thunder (oh) all thru the night (all through)
Promise to see jesus in the morning light
Love say Take my hand, it'll be alright
C'mon save your soul tonight
Thunder - hey hey
yeah yeah yeah yeah
(it was truly truly)
Like rain falling on a window pane
Tears came to my eyes when I asked her name
Made me holler when it finally came
Said Only the children born of me will remain
'Twas like thunder all thru the night
And a promise to see Jesus in the morning light (mornin' light)
Love say Take my hand, it'll be alright
C'mon save your soul tonight
Thunder
It will be all right (all right)
(it was truly like thunder)
Don't do it like that, do it like this
Oh oh (thunder) oh oh (thunder) oh ohhhhh
Thunder (thunder)
(thunder)
(it was truley truly like)
Like thunder (thunder) all thru the night (thunder yeah)
Promise to see Jesus in the morning light (it will be all right)
Love say Take my hand, it'll be alright (it's gonna be alright)
C'mon save your soul tonight
Ooooo Thunder
Thunder, thunder yeah yeah yeah
Thunder
Ooooo thunder
Thunder
Ooooo Thunder
Ooooo Ooooo thunder
Thunder
Ooooo thunder
Thunder
Ooooo (thunder) thunder
Thunder
Thunder ohhh

mick g how do you feel about strollin from the same album.... nice lil song? or kinda cheesy?

Christopher said:

Can't something be kinda cheesy while still being a nice little song?

I'm not a prince fan. However, after his spiritually strong songs, (there need be something after for their number are limited), his "fun" songs are what I'd listen to.

MickG said:

i guess so

so your not a fan ex fan then?

Christopher said:

I'm not a fan nor am I an exfan. Prince is more an Xfan then I am an exfan. I'm a freak, incase you didn't already know. I'm an anomoly in the matrix. I am a phonomon in soul of mankind. I believe Prince is a little more special then he's willing to let on to others. And of that, I am Not a fan.

I'm not a fan nor am I an exfan. [/quote]

Why are you here so much then?

someone needs a L.I.F.E

When I hear thunder, I think of lightning, and I heard somewhere sometime that lightning is a sign of the devil...as in the actual symbol of it..wow...symbol yeah anyway, theres this whole theory that's why its included in many rock album's art especially, like the middle of AC/DC and half the name of the band KISS. It was also the basis of the Nazi SS.
Symbols R a powerful visual communication tool.

I think that whole good vs evil vibe got me loving that song, and the music, of course..
