Here is your thread to discuss this track only - instead of scanning the main sticky - Enjoy, June7

1st

Very romantic and sultry lyrics with a SWEET horn accompaniment, stellar piano and a flawless vocal delivery by Prince...I'm all syrupy,

Best ol'skool slow drag song I've heard in awhile.

I love this one! very Paradish

Sorry.... but this is he one song i skip ever time.....i think its the horns i dont like

SOMEWHERE HERE ON EARTH

i know u're out there
i can feel ur eyes on me
seen that face a 1000 times
if only in my dreams

i know u really want me
i can feel ur hands on me
i really wanna touch u 2
in a way im much 2 shy 2 speak

and even though
i'm all alone
4 what it's worth
u're somewhere here on earth

and i like it


i know, i know u're out there
i can feel u getting closer 2 me
i'm just wondering what u're waiting 4
when u know i am free

in this digital age, u could just page me
i know its a rage, but it just dont engage me
i like the face to face
do you want 2 do this at urs, or my place?

it's been so long
since i been with somebody
like a million years
now u're here on earth
u're here, u're here

[Renato piano]

somewhere here on earth
and i like it, i like it

listen..
i know u hear me
like a whisper in ur ear
u don't have to fear me
u r everything i hold so dear

i know u already love me
u're probably just 2 cool 2 say
somebody somewhere put u down
but that's ok, that's ok

cuz whenever when u feel
it's time 2 heal
no more
as long as i'm here on earth

Thanks mplsmike.



Less than 2 weeks to go to hear SHOE.

Best prince ballad since like... Adore!

gorgeous song, even though I'm not crazy about it, it's like "Damn U" but better.

Luther must be rolling about in his grave.

Its my fave and is gonna b a classic

Agrees with zaara, whether you dont like this style or song of not, in a few years it will be considered THE classic track from this album.

Why?
- One of his strongest melodies in years
- Exquisite singing, not too understated and not overdone, subtle.
- A simple, but strong composition that lends itself to be covered by different kind of artists.
- Lyrics that a lot of people can relate to.

Maybe its too early, but i think this song will become a next sort of "How come U don't call me anymore" and "Nothing compares to U", a new pop-evergreen.

Who is on trumpet?

This track is gorgeous!

It's a pretty nice song but it does nothing to me...

Oh, I dig the synths!

Digital piano

Prince must get a bösendorfer!

This pretty much sums it up. This song could put me to sleep, and not in a bad way, but in a comforting way. It is very calm. Dig it.

Imago said:

ditto...they're good songs, u just don't bump 'em out when trying to park at the mall.

Shorty said:

yeah somehow i get a parade-ish vibe from it.


that trumpet sounds like herb alpert

It's my favourite song on the album.

this is my favorite track Prince layers his vocals over the arrangement perfectly! I don't get a parade vibe , it reminds me of a stylsitics song or what you'd tune into listening to the quietstorm lol
