That's already 3 tunes I really dig on PE !

MarcelJ said:

all I said is that is that when I try to sing it to myself from memory (after 3 listens), all I can come up with is Damned If I Do.


I said I like the song. What's your problem? Actually, the one kind of nagging thing that keeps me from loving this song is that it actually doesn't sound much like Prince to me

MarcelJ said:

I think you're thinking of someone else.

MarcelJ said:

What makes you think that? I like FBM a lot, and I've said so on the threads about it.

"2 tall 2 b talked down 2... 2 over it 2 b put under..."

Prince ur a bleepin legend!

Raze said:

Maybe it doesn't sound like Prince to you because Prince hasn't sounded like this since '84-'87. That was 20 years ago. It's been awhile.

And btw, it is a hell a lot more organic than Musiclogy stuff so far. Love the arrangements. Great bass and beat. Nice guitar work.

funkycomic said:

I totally agree with ya!! To me, this is a new sound from P. At least unlike anything I've heard before...I want MORE!!!

GangstaFam said:

I need to listen again, but it struck me as Chaos meets Rave, but in a good way, not in an '84-87 way.

Raze said:

No wonder you don't love it.

Thanks for the note

1st off, best Prince song in 20 years. We going back. I dig that old sound. He is going to have a hit on his hands.

Raze said:

I looked around for the post(s) I was talking about, but haven't found them yet, so sorry, I think...

probably had your posts confused with Wall or some of the other ones, sorry.

But, I don't see ANYTHING this song has in common with Rave. In fact, I can't figure out how the same artist that wrote and recorded this could have recorded Rave. It just baffles me.

MarcelJ said:

I agree, it doesnt sound like the same dude that made rave at all. BIG UP TO L SPEAR

Call me crazy but I find the energy, the joy and the touch of some Springsteen tunes in "the one u wanna see".

sarkozyiszeman said:

You're not crazy, they used to have that in common and still do live. This song brings that back. Odd how he got that old sound back right with W&L back on some songs. Hear that slap base, guitar, drums, synth. Not too much overproduction here.

sarkozyiszeman said:

really??? not quite sure I hear that in there. i guess it would depend on what springsteen songs you were referring to.

sarkozyiszeman said:

I hear ya. The energy this song puts forth is just ...wow! Its 2am , I should be in bed but im just too stoked from listening to this .


Im picturing him doing this on David Letterman or SNL and simply tearing it up ... theres no way he could go wrong performing this live

funkycomic said:

I'm obviously not refering to The ghost of Tom Joad !

sarkozyiszeman said:

Tom Joad???? not familiar sorry.

sarkozyiszeman said:

Some Springsteen and some Fogerty too.

MarcelJ said:

Interesting...

VonMarie said:

I don't know why, did you not see the Super Bowl show? He performed Fogerty and Foo Fighters, we should have seen this coming.

newpower99 said:

I was thinking When You Were Mine meets I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man funneled through a late Revolution-era sensibility.

Thank you all!!!
Like you said - Sounds very cool to me!!! I'm in a very good mood now!

Yeah, I do like it a lot. Just listened again. What impresses me most is that we've already heard 3 really solid songs from this album, and that doesn't even include the ones that people who've heard it are hyping up: Planet Earth, Somewhere Here On Earth, Chelsea Rogers, Lion Of Judah and Resolution.


So, I think this is going to be his best album in a very long time. Unless it falls apart in the middle of the disc and turns into the same sequencing mess that Rave, Musicology and 3121 are.

MarcelJ said:

Yep...now that U mention it!

This man is a damn genius!! I mean, I'm always impressed with his musical output, but this new track?? I'm simply blown away at how he can be so established and thoroughly defined, yet new and exciting at the same time. Just when you thought you'd seen it all from P, he shows you a different side and you remember why you loved him in the first place. Again, genius!! Wait, I already said that, didn't I?

Great work! Thoroughly enjoying it!!

jtfolden said:

correct, but also great organ work here too and there's more power than those two songs, which were more raw (which was cool) this is full on.

MarcelJ said:

Yeah, its funny because we were all hopping his cover of Best of You would show up on this album. But instead hes done a new song in that style of vocal... only this song is head and shoulders better than Best of You
