Both telling and showing "LOVE" means to "LOVE". They go hand in hand. You can't have one with out the other. Something is spoken, then followed by an action. That is | |

Metheny, Maiden, Isley, Summers,Duke, and Satriani, accents/phrasing all there, and incorporated into P's mix. The track pushes all the right buttons for me. PE is simply "righteous"!
My Fav!  | |

4 me its running a close second to Somewhere Here On Earth However I do agree I dont hear the Manilow influence in this song either? But I do love it!  The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

And I'm glad people from all over the world have come to that conclusion. I have not, and I really don't care one way or the other, but I love that others are trying to hard to make me hear it. | |

I have to continue to agree with you. I knew the song but had not heard it in along time so I listened again and I just dont hear it...I'm gonna listen again this weekend with this many people hearing it obviously its gotta be similar! This song is the one thats stuck in my head most often (and its not the break either so I cant credit it to Barry!) The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Hello Prince World! Love 'Planet Earth', great opener, got the feel of an epic,
as it builds from the gentle opening to classic Prince guitar at the end, and a dramatic close. Love the lyric too. God Bless the old genius! | |

I like the song, too. And I think it's perfectly placed as an opener.
The guitar solo is one of the most energetic he ever laid down in the studio, IMO. | |

I live in the U.S. and haven't heard the song yet. but God I love the lyrics. He is speaking the truth.

It's okay sounding but his need to filter ecology through the light of "the one" annoys me. Plus this song forces you to think of Barry Manilow and thats not fair. Glug, glug like a mug | |

I think this song is suprisingly good. A good start to the album if you ask me.

Great track - just wish the guitar solo was longer at the end. Should be excellent when played live! | |

One of his better bombast songs. A grower for sure. I was thinking of the number of middle aged brits who sat down to read the paper and put this on to see what the fuss was over this Prince chap and go 'Turn that rubbish off, put Celine back on' | |

Could have taken a bit more time on the lyrics -- though not as tragic as Guitrar -- and edited some of the meandering middle out but great solo, if a bit bombastic. No hard feelings. | |
