Elephants and Flowers Appreciation Thread I have always liked this song. It is so upbeat and peppy and weird and trippy. Great chorus. Religious but not preachy. Good stuff. All good things they say never last... | |

Couln't agree more...it's another piece of art. Another One about loving God and it is so elegantly worded. Here's 2 every1 giving God as their Lover with flowers this upcoming Valentine's Day. Prince's Lyrics follow.... Boy is lonely on a burning hot summer night he's looking 4 some action, he's looking 4 a fight he's looking 4 a saviour in a city full of fools maybe he just needs a good talker to give him a good talking 2. Can we talk baby? Strip down, strip down. I think I'm gonna fall in love tonight. Elephants and flowers, hot sweaty light paints a picture red and gold on a crowd of naked bodies stripped down to their very souls how can he find a shy angel in a city so bold (so bold) he can't even find a place 2 dance, this is rock and roll. Strip down, strip down, elephants and flowers Is everybody ready? Here we go. love the one who is love, (love) the one who gives us the power, (power) the one who made everything, (what?) elephants and flowers (what will he do?) the one who will listen when all others will not. there will be peace 4 those who love god a lot. Elephants and flowers. Strip down. Think I'm gonna fall in love tonight. When I do, there won't be no more (confusion) There won't be no more (no tears) there won't be no more enemies, so that eliminates all the fear and there won't be no sorrow, (sorrow) there won't be no pain, (no pain) there won't be no ball and no chain strip down, strip down. Elephants and flowers. Boy is lonely on a burning hot summer night He's looking 4 an angel to hold him 'til the morning light Here we go. love the one who is love, (well) the one who gives us the power, (power) the one who made everything, (everything) elephants and flowers (oh, yeah) the one who will listen when all others will not. (all others will not) there will be peace 4 those who love god a lot. Here we go. love the one who is love, (love) the one who gives us the power, (power) the one who made everything, (what?) elephants and flowers (what will he do?) the one who will listen when all others will not. there will be peace 4 those who love god a lot. ~honey is b-ing 1 with the 1~ | |

Maybe it is just the English major in me talking but I always love when an artists juxtaposes images effectively. When they do it to a funky catch beat it is all the better. All good things they say never last... | |

Love Elephant & Flowers.
Elephant & Flowers Can't Stop the Feeling I Got Still Would Stand All Time. & Release It. Love Machine I do remember when I heard the album I had high hopes for the film. I remember hearing there were other screenplays or version of the film, but did not know how true any of that was. | |

I love "Elephants and Flowers". It's my favorite song from "Graffiti Bridge" and is going to be the theme of my next tattoo...just have to find a good design and a good place to put it. Any ideas from the house? Prince Rogers Nelson

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!!! I use to be in love with 'Graffiti Bridge' (Movie) and this song always made me smile. I still put it on every now and then when I'm feeling anything less than full  [Edited 2/13/07 20:26pm] Let's go down 2 the holy river,

I absolutely LOVE this song. I was sooooo happy when he sang it at 3121!!! I might have been singing along the loudest. 
He also looked quite scrumptious performing it in GB. I think this song typified the postive vibe of the music on the GB soundtrack. It's a shame that the album is so inextricably linked to the film, because if you remove the other artists' songs, I think it is an AMAZING Prince album - it is one of my favs. This is how my GB CD looks: New Power Generation (original and remix) Can't Stop... Elephants & Flowers Tick Tick Bang Thieves in the Temple (Remix) We Can Funk The Question of U Joy n Repetition Still Would Stand All Time perfection is a fallacy of the imagination... | |
