Now, now... no no no!
When I named a song that I didn't like and people got on me, it made me feel really bad. People even said I wasn't a "true fan", and everyone KNOWS Chocolate1 is down! biggrin

Having said that... I always play "Forever in My Life" twice: Once to sing along to the verses, then again to the backing vocals... I love that song! music

"Love Hurts.
Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

If you're lucky enough to catch Prince do this song acousticly, it's awsome also. Just him and his guitar and the audience singing along...Priceless!

This song is like the beautiful, still eye of the crazy, awesome hurricane that is Prince's career.

Honestly. I think if you took all of Prince's good songs and laid 'em side by side in order, then took a knife and split the line in half right down the middle, you'd be sinkin' that blade right into Forever In My Life.

There comes a time, in every man's life
When he get's tired of foolin' around
Juggling hearts in a three ring circus
Someday will drive a body down 2 the ground

I never imagined that love would rain on me
And make me wanna settle down
Baby it's true, I think I do
And I just wanna tell U that I wanna with U (baby, if U do 2)
And baby if U do 2
Forever, forever, baby I want U forever
I wanna keep U 4 the rest of my life (U can make right)
All that is wrong in my world (U are my saviour)
U can make right (U are my light)
U are my saviour, U are my light (Forever I want U in my life)
Forever I want U in my life

I guess your taste is different, but these are some of the best lyrics Prince has ever written, nothing cryptic here.....

Is it the melody and chords that bother you?
The road you choose to walk in this life, is a road that leads to the next.....

NO you are not. Of all the tracks on SOTT this is the one I skip over with the quickness. I can't really explain why I don't like it, but twenty years have gone by and I just don't care for this song.

You may be a fan but are you actually sane? That is one of his better songs; tangy, soulful, reflectively simple and sweet. What else do you ask for in a song? Listen again, but with an wider, expanding mind. Take the flowers off of the grave and give them to a small child.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

Rumor has it ... the song was written for Wendy's sister Susan(?). He gave her a ring around the time it was recorded but while he was on tour he called her up and said C ya.

You man not be the ONLY one who doesn't like the song but I'd guess you're part of a VERY small club wink
