I've always found this song intresting.

What do you all think?

He has a lyric "yeah, I got your package but when I tryed to write you back a bailed" or something along those lines.

I often find myself wondering what might have happened had he had words to express the future. I wonder what made words fail him, when he's so eliquent.

Believe it or not I only recently started 2 like the other Rave tunes.Until now the only one that I could stomach was Greatest Romance and Prettyman .

Initially the intro song "Rave".. used to blow my mind. i'm glad prince does his own thing.

i searched "Rave unto" and got this

(Rave, 200, 200, Rave, 200 balloons) (Let's do, let's, let's do it)
(Rave, Fly with me)
(Fly with me {200} {Rave} {200} Fly with me}) (200 {Let's do it} balloons)
Rave, unto the joy fantastic, Rave
(Let's do it)

[...]

Who gonna stop 200 balloons?
Nobody

The answer might b in the second verse:

But no regrets because forget the unfamiliar faces
Those petty lies and alibis, just golddiggers chasin'
Dreams of sovereignty, they tried 2 come between U and me
A curse therein set forth a chain of events
That only freed me when I remembered
Where was and who am:
The only Prince that will ever rule this holy land
All understand and all stand under this affirmation now:
By the power invested in me by God
All negativity bows

yeah, and it was at that point Prince lost all "power invested" in him by God.

Though to be fair. God isn't closed Prince's account, he's just frozen his assetts until Prince's heart thaws.

Isnt this basically regarding the WB feud?

I'd say no, but know one knows for sure.

I find that too many people assume Prince writing all this music about the WB feud, when Prince is the type of person not to pay attention to that thing that might bother him. I don't think he'd write catalogues of music about it.

that was just another phase. happends to us all eventually in this modern day an age

B-Sides. That doesn't pose an answer to the question I posed.

I don't really think he does.

song topics?

Prince's dreams of soverinty

what came between you and me?

all understand and all standunder (he's not a control freak)?

Power by God all negativity bows.


i don't like "let's see what you can do"...

It might just be one of Prince's most BiPolar songs.
