From a lyrics perspective, what is Princes best song? I know he's not a poet, because he doesn't want to blow it. But he is still a heck of a songwriter in my mind. What do you think are some of his best writtin songs?
The ones that jump out at me TMBGITW The Dance Reflection Money Don't matter tonight and there are a bunch of gems on SOTT. What are you favorites? | |

there are many but i think Bad Baby Sitter is very profound.
 Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

Everywhere ( the positivity and sheer energy and joy of this song transcend the overtly religious and partly dogmatic message of it because it brings across a contagious feeling of happiness, plus the musical delivery is superb).
Why is it that so many on here feels the need to explain away Prince's religious feelings? I love this song just because of the lyrics. Without God, it ISN'T there! | |

I like the lyrcs as well, otherwise I wouldn´t have nentioned that song, and I also wasn´t complaining about his religious feelings but the way some lyrics exclude some listeners, that´s all. I have respect for the JWs and their religion but their truth is not necessarily my truth, if there is a truth at all. Anyway, this is an old topic with Prince and goes way way to the 80´s , and it´s not that I´m an Atheist either, I just prefer an approach that is a bit more universal...that´s all.

For me its def "The Holy River"....The lyrics are soul searching for me. Let's go down 2 the holy river,
If we drown then we'll be delivered. If we don't then we'll never see the light. If U die before U try, U'll have 2 come back and face the light. When U believe it, U got a good reason 2 cry. www.myspace.com/xxchina | |
