agree, very beautiful version, but i would not go as far as calling it his greatest, beautiful horn section, specially the trumpet playing, exquisite
If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

Aye, it's one of them. And when Prince's life work is reassessed objectively and rationally one day in the (hopefully) far future, I'm pretty confident Planet Earth will be acclaimed as an overlooked mid-period gem. Ugh, how conservative and furtively bold of me, these words, that opinion. I agree, however, with me. Well done.

Not even in the top 10.
I could pick one ballad from every album from the 80s that I like better.

One of his GREATEST I think... it does potential to go very far.

And I think its the one song on Planet Earth that nearly everyone is unanimous in liking it... more like :luv:ing it.

It's my 2nd favorite track on the album because its the best done... but my favorite track is just a personal favorite cool
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

Adore gets far from messy. I think it's beautiful from start to finish.
