I just heard the remix of Space. I guest it's the remix version. Correct me if I'm wrong. OMG it’s absolutely unbelievable, I can’t stop playing it. I see where TLC got there inspiration from. When they first came out they had so much Prince flavor in them. I can see why Prince admired them. 2 me they were always Prince girls. Anyway this Space remix is beautiful. The music just takes me back 2 the days when life was so freakin simple. Please can anyone tell me if this was an official release and if so how can I purchase it? Please school me on this beautiful song. thanks

Yes it's offical

I believe theres 4-5 version on it
The japanise import contains an extra edited version on it

There An accustic vers, and The Universal Love Remixes

The Universal Love Remixes (are closley identical to each other)
Are almost a like a totaly different song compared to the album

Accustic vers...is a softer mix of the album

Wow! it must be the Universal Love Remix. I am so digging this song. It’s just breath taking. Prince vocals r beautiful. It flows so nice with the music. Can u please tell me if this is on cd or album? Thank u so much mplsmike 4 your info. I have the Come cd but this is like a whole new song. Damn I’m feeling this.

jerkout said:

Are the above songs on cd? Is there somewhere I can go and try and buy them? R they on one cd like the TMBGITW Remix? I never knew the different versions of space existed. Thanks 2 all who responded 2 this thread

Is the rap the Prince part that starts with "This is the space where my hands go"? That's on the Universal Love remix and the UL radio remix that I have. The UL remix was interesting because it has completely different lyrics and really seems like a separate song, the way Escape is different from Glam Slam. There were two different American CD single releases, one with the UL radio remix and album version only, but I never saw the Japanese version with the extra track. This is one of my favorite Prince love songs. The acoustic remix is absolutely beautiful, and UL has a similar vibe to When Doves Cry (lyrically).

By the way, what does "every other flick of the pink plush" mean? I used to think it was "paint brush," a reference to "I painted your face upon my ceiling," but it's not. Is "pink plush" a vaginal reference?

How did I get in this predicament?
How did I get in this jam?
The person they accuse me of being of,
it's not the one I really am

I am the one that really loves you
will all my mind, body, and soul
with every stroke of my brush I wanna
paint a wall around you so that you would never know

all the pain that a human has to go through
in a planet that's so bitter and cold
Universal love awaits you baby all you gotta say
is that you really, really, really wanna go
and we're outta here.

space, do you wanna?
do you want to go?

how did I let you hypnotize me?
did it have anything to do with your lips?
did it have anything to do with your cool disposition?
did it have anything to do with your kiss??

owoowwww where in the world did you learn to put your arms around me
and cause my temperature to rise
sometimes i get the feeling this was all meant to be, just like the sun and moon you and I IIIII
all the pain that a human has to go through, in a planet that's so bitter and cold...universal love awaits you baby all you gotta say is that you really really really wanna go and we're outta here..space...do you wanna? do you want to go...where the *****(don't know lyrics)go, where the tears flow..where the love grows..do you want to gooooo..



sorry this is so long...but I had that song on tape for years before it broke. I adore this song.

i always understood it to be.

i'm so hating myself for not buying the Space maxi single when it was out. i was so diggin' the album version that i didn't think there'd be THAT much improvement on the original, esp. since it had been a minute when Prince singles were what they used to be regarding ext'ds and b-sides. now i gotta go dig for this oldie. i've been hearing that its dat deal for years now.

Thanks for answering my question. And yeah, the CD single is definitely worth getting. There are several used ones for sale through Amazon and not too expensive.

Yes! Yes! Purplelovel this is the jam. This is the one I'm looking 4. This is my first time hearing this and I am totally loving it. I hope I can find it. Went on e-bay and have an eye on it. I will bid the last day. Anyone know any other way of buying these remixes?
