Yeah, you're right. Prince could do a full album or two of this kind of obscure music, but then we'd have all the resident "Prince should do R&B" fans complain about how Prince is doing this kooky music. That's part of the reason Prince got rid of Wendy and Lisa, because after ATWIAD and Parade, many Prince fans thought he was no longer doing "black music." Such a shame.

Wait, couldn't "Starfish & Coffee" be considered Prince doing "Sesame Street" as well? Yet, that particular song is (in most cases) celebrated. Why is that? Again, I think "Midnights" is one of those tunes that won't get it's just due by those critical of it until years down the line. It's a shame though...because IMO, it's Prince at his best! | |

It's like that because no matter what Prince releases these days some people are gonna bitch and moan because they think it's cool to not like Prince's new stuff. This is a fantastic song, that, if it was to have been on The Dream Factory, 99% of people on here would fuckin' love it. He is exactly who we thought he was | |

I've noticed that some people seem not to like his new stuff because it is...well...new stuff (and not shit he recorderd in the 80's). I was joking with someone recently that if he took one of his 80's songs from the vault...one that nobody had ever heard...and released it as "new music" today, there'd be those who complain that it's not as good as his 80's stuff... 
The guys just can't seem to win with some people! | |

Starts off bad with Prince's horrid vocal and the jarring piano but gets
better towards the ( thankfully short ) ending . Worst track on the album though easily , and not even close to the brilliance of Tangerine which a few people are comparing it too ( although Tangerine is a lot simpler musically and sung delightfully of course ) . Check out Chocadelica , updated with Lotusflow3r and MPLSound album lyrics April 2nd 2009 :

After one listen I don't really know what to make of this one yet. "Why'd I waste my kisses on you baby?" R.I.P. Prince You've finally found your way back home. Well Done. | |

In the film, protagonist George Bailey (James Stewart) has a daughter called Zuzu. As order is restored and George is attempting to prove to himself that he indeed exists, he reaches into his pocket and finds the flower petals his daughter gave to him. On finding the floral remnants, George triumphantly shouts, "Zuzu's petals!" .. [Edited 7/16/07 14:55pm] Beautiful lyrics. "Plaid shorts are completely over." | |

Oh it's so gorgeous, one of the best on the album, which is a really great album all things considered.
The lyrics are great, which is what this album is lacking. I'm really hoping W+L stick around for the next, the world needs another quirky irreverent Prince album | |

I surely wasn't feeling it at first, but then I learned the music and I couldn't avoid its appeal.
Prince hasn't written many segue tracks this effective. It's like taking a trip back beneath the "Cherry Moon" or uncovering "Starfish" in one of your lunch cases. Too saccharine for some, for sure, but sugar is a part of a balanced diet. But no sweet tooth here, as this song makes its connection and then dissolves like so much cotton candy. | |

I'm liking this one, although I can see why some might think it's too sugary sweet.
Not so keen on the slower 'All_the_midnights_' parts, but the faster rise and fall of the verses, eg 'Make a promise...This very night...' etc are gorgeous. Each one seems to kick in a little bit more - I almost wish there was one more tht then soared away somewhere really great. But although I'm not so fussed by the slower chorus, it works insomuch as it creates the contrast with the verses really well. | |

I think this might be the worst song Prince has ever released -- I mean that literally, not as hyperbole. It makes the track that comes before it sound good -- and that's saying something. Can't find anything to praise... derivative melody, terrible vocal performance, poor choice of sounds, rote arrangement, uninspired playing, embarassing lyrics... wow. Amazing how quickly the album comes unraveled after starting off with five strong tracks... 2 clunkers in a row with this one really plumbing new depths. brink | |

Such a great feel good song. Love the scallywags line.
Sounds like it could have been on a Badly Draw Boy album, especially One Plus One. So if you like this I suggest you check that out. | |

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! It gets stuck in my head ALL the time.
Because I turn my eye toward u Because I seek ur hand Every other woman envies u And me every other man And as the circle of jealousy Is coming round again Those prickly-fingered scallywags that masquerade as friends Make a promise this very night that they will no longer pose a threat 2 either one of us and let the chapter close 4 all the midnights in the world This one will serve us better If u choose to be my girl Like Zuzu's petals, a wonderful life The 2 of us shall lead The children of the future Have all the spiritual food they need The secrets that the ones b4 With grace have come and shown 2gether with love 4 one another We shall make them known Remember love, our happy days Are numbered like grains of sand That and 10 times evermore If I could be your man Amethyst and rubies crystals and black pearls I’d trade them all just to spend with u All the midnights in the world All the midnights in the world | |

This song is fan-fuckin'-tastic!
Such a beautiful little simple melody along with some of the best lyrics he's written in years. For all you overly nostalgic 80's only Prince lovers this track SHOULD be right up your alley. This song could have easily fit right in on The Dream Factory. It's really a shame most people aren't gonna give this song a chance. He is exactly who we thought he was | |
