Luv the flow of the G.  But curious as to whether this song is about Wendy. Just a thought.
Like the lion of Judah Driving away with a smile on my face The wind blowing thru my hair Wondering how u'll feel when u find out How much I really care Hoping that the tears roll down ur face When u finally grasp who we r 2 gypsy bandits who only by grace Came 2 b a star A superstar.... A star Told U P was a gypsy  [Edited 7/31/07 18:21pm] "I don't make the rules. I just play" | |

It's a great album, enjoy it or listen to some other artist's music. You don't have to like every song. There are songs on 1999 and PR that I just can't listen to. But some of us LOVE P for the quirky sh*t because it shows that he's not being a slave to the market putting out safe generica. i never asked 4 a rock album ..i wanted funk! i never asked 4 wendy and lisa back..that's past history.. good news is, january isn't far away 2 begin looking 4ward 2 the next new album man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

To me, this song is that what Prince want to be listened to. This is why it begin with the guitar sound of Purple Rain, as an "pay atention please". Its the core of the album. Very original, complicated and deeply felt.

gato That's a great theory! This song is the most challenging and meaningful on the album, and that opening chord does perk the ears.  Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

"Love" is like a manifesto that he will remain true to himself and not be a pawn to the whims of so many others. "Lion of Judah" is an admission of vulnerability and mistakes and the subsequent attempt to uplift himself by drawing inspiration from his faith. In that sense, I see "Lion of Judah" more akin to "The Word". Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

In that sense, I see "Lion of Judah" more akin to "The Word". I believe he's speaking to the same audience with both of these songs. I'm wondering if anyone else sees that too? By the way, I do agree with your interpretation of "Lion of Judah," but I'd add to it that he's feeling pulled by the "demands" of his fans and/or critics, the press, his own inner demons/desires, and his faith. This is where he feels vulnerable, but out of these he finds strength, peace, and hope by placing his faith above all else. | |

Revelation 5:5 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV) Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals." I believe the Lion of Judah referes to Jesus in the bible. What does Jesus have to do with Prince hooking up with some young chick? No More Haters on the Internet. |

He's not tryin 2 hook up with a dollbbird! He's trying to get his job done, tryin' to keep us rockin' and to hold our spirits up with the magic of his craft. Music is a kind of spiritual food. ABCDEFG; THE SEVEN SEALS CUE: Twilight zone music He's trying to do it completely, like Jesus did his thing. small circles, big wheels!

Rightly said: It polarizes hs fans
lovers and haters That's usually a sign of a great song.
I now know what it feels like to be an ardent Rainbow Children defender. There's a lot of depth to "Lion of Judah", and it requires some effort- perhaps the only song on the album to do so. It think it's absolutely masterful. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |
