I figure TLWM will get the majority but I'm curious to see by how much...

It's just around the corner
It's just around the block
This love that I've been waiting 4
A love solid as rock
A love that reaffirms that we are not alone
A love so bright inside U, it glows

And night and day would run 2gether
And all things would be fine
Still would stand all hate around us
Still would stand all time
Still would stand all time

It's not a thousand years away
It's not that far my brother
When men will fight injustice instead of one another
It's not that far if we all say yes and only try
Then heaven on earth we will find
(All time)

(Still, still would stand all time)
No one man will be ruler, therefore Love must rule us all
Dishonesty, anger, fear, jealousy and greed will fall
But Love can save us all (Oh Love)

Love - oh Love, if U would just please give us a sign
Still would stand all time
Heaven (Heaven on earth)
Oh! (We all want 2 find)
We all wanna find it
Still would stand all time
We are not alone people (We're not alone)
Tell me, can U see the light? (Can U see the light?)
If U just open your eyes (Still would stand all time)
So much U will know
So much U will show
Love, Love, Love.
(It's not that far away if we all say yes and give it a try)
Gotta give it, huh, a try - yes! (Still would stand all time)
I, I say still
(So many times)
So many times I thought I could not make it
(Still would stand all time)
Life was closing in, I just knew, I just knew I couldn't take it
That's when Love opened its arms
And if U don't go inside
Still would stand all time (Still would stand all time)
U better run 2 the light
Leave your past behind (All things will be fine)
And still would stand all time
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

"The Love We Make"... easily. If that song was released between, say, '82 and '89, it would be considered essential Prince.

Damn. Definitely two of his best songs of the '90s...

But I gotta go with Still Would Stand All Time. Brilliant all around, and it resonates a bit more.

But it's close.
I've seen the future, and boy it's rough...

I love both songs, but i think "Still Would Stand All Time" has more passion and feeling, so it gets my vote. I also may be tainted because i like the live version from "Small Club, 2nd Show"

ooooh i love both of these songs!

TLWM is quite ethereal and i love when Prince gets that vibe going but so is SWSAT; but that's got a lot of gospel and blues in it. plus he goes off key intentioanlly just b4 the break down.


oooh this is hard..... shrug

No contest for me, "The Love We Make"

I always related this lyric with the situation at the time with the baby:
Precious is the baby with a mother,
That tells him that his saviour is coming soon.
Man that always gets me. sad

Never liked Still Would Stand All Time, Didn't like it in 1990 still don't like it now, probably one of my very least favourite Prince songs.

The Love We Make I can take or leave but that puts it streets ahead if it's a head to head competition for my own tastes.

For that sound bite alone, I believe the scales tip slightly in "Still"'s favor.

I am quite surprised to see people choose The love we make above Still Would stand all time here.

First because, i think the vocals of 'Still' show much more passion.

Second, because the music / arrangement of 'Still' is more surprising: like something from 'Pet Sounds' by the Beach Boys meets a gospel ballad.

Definitely "Still Would Stand All Time". Not just out of these two; SWSAT is one of my favourite Prince songs of all time - just find it very uplifting and emotionally charged. Love "The Love We Make" too, but SWSAT definitely shades it for me.....
Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. Everybody. Everybody has their story to tell.
