Awkward, uncreative, Anti War lyrics, mixed in with Nursery Rhyme melody and a lil Beatles flair... YAWN!

The main problem with this song



is the lyrics.


(I stole that from someone -- but it's true.) lol

well, he can call himself velma lipschitz if he wants, i still think this song sounds like it came off 'symphony or damn'. shrug


It strikes me as a little Joni-esque. Lion Of Judah is a very Terence-like title.

This song is really pretty and I love the production. It reminds me of The Revolution's songs.

Even though I agree with his environmental concerns and issues with international policy, it isn't working in these songs. Post it on your website, go Bono on the politicians, but keep it off the album. Especially if it only has 10 tracks. I think I want my $9.98 back. sad
Life without music..... why?

the vocals are a little too "tra la la" bouncy for me and the general melody isn't terribly memorable or earwiggy. the lyrics feel rote. you can tell when prince really CARES about what he's writing about, because the man rambles like crazy and writes stuff that makes him sound like he was wearing a tin foil hat when he wrote it. the lyrics to this were like, "okay *sigh* this is supposed to be like an eco-peace-hippie-friendly album thingie, so i gotta end it with some doves and rainbows...uh wendy, what rhymes with 'landfill'?"

i don't hate it, but it's a little bland and tired and a bit like something you'd hear eric cartman sing on a special earth day episode of south park.

though when i imagine TTD/Sananda singing this song, it kinda kicks my ass. go figure. shrug

i DO like the fade-out, though. that's sharp. nod

Prince's political songs usually have bad lyrics, though. Par for the purple course.

That's MY Prince right there...I love it when the brotha's in the "zone" and he ain't there on this cut.

I ain't feeling the flower-child sing-song melody either. shrug
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

i think this sums it up.

what bugs me the most is: hey, that's no way to say goodbye... i mean to end an album.
can y'all recall a weaker, more anti-climactic album closer? sure, it can't be PR or Sometimes It Snows every time, but... it could at least be Get On The Boat, couldn't it?

Resolution is a better song than Temptation on ATWIAD a hundred times over.

At first I wasn't too crazy about this song, but the more I listen to it, the more it grows on me.

That's exactly what's happened to me with this song. The more I hear it, the more I enjoy it.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Outside the Prince community it´s clear: Prince is a bad lyricist.
Inside this is debatable.
This song once more proves it.

I don't think that anyone outside of the Prince community has an opinion at all on his lyrics. Usually no ones gets past how he looks, why would they give the lyrics a second thought? If anything, they know Kiss for example and surely like those lyrics.

I GOT IT! The opening riff sounds like Mr. Jones (Counting Crows). All in all, a great closer to an amazing album!
