Awesomely freaky song. I love when Prince digs deep to some FUNKED up headspace. Not sure why this song doesnt ever get mentioned.

There was a thread about this not too long ago! I really like this song, like some people said it has an eerie sound to it. When the song first comes on that's my favorite part, that screechy howling type sound has me all and at the same time. This song is cool though! I give it

Others Here With Us

When I'm alone, my mind takes a drive
Through chocolate religion and spirits alive
All I was brought up in this world 2 know
Is lost when a demon swallows them whole

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know

It's strange how your mind works when Love is in power
One learns 2 care and appreciate a flower
What makes others want 2 change your mind?
All the things I've seen, life is so sublime

7-month-old baby died in her sleep
The parents went crazy and cried 4 a week
They swore they heard her laugh in the crib by the wall
They're convinced she's with us if she's anything at all

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know (I know)

Bobby had an uncle who took a string
And wrapped his neck around it, a pitiful thing
If only we can turn back the hands of time
Except there's others here with us, life is sublime

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know (I know)

All the things I've seen
There's others here with us

It gets mentioned, usually as the "scariest" prince song.

It has little long loops of halloween type noises of howling, people screaming and crying continuously. then there are loud tribal sounding drums. There is a cheesy spooky synth note thing repeated on top, Prince sings in his normal voice, but goes "Prince crazy" at the end, pushing his voice into an emotional wail. There are also finger cymbals, I think.

It's bOOTleG!!!

illegal.

I don't have it

I usually post a thread about it every three months or so..lol

May be his greatest song ever. This was when he was really scared of dying.

What era is this from?

LOVE this song, actually the whole charade cd is dope but this is def. one of the highlights - from the music, to the sounds, to the lyrics and his singing - total masterpiece

It was recorded during the Parade sessions. So around 1985.

I always thought the first line was

"When I'm Alone, My Mind Takes A Drug"

not

"When I'm Alone, My Mind Takes A Drive"

very cool, eerie song

Blame Prince. He's the one who won't release it.

Hey why wouldn't you want Prince to come out with Crystal Ball Vol.2 with such classic bootleg songs (in good quality) as A better 2 die/ g- spot/ Lisa/ Electric intercourse/ or Empty room. Speak for yourself but most of us here at the org would buy that. God bless
