Just heard "Love" for the first time

Wow...after hearing the acoustic version I figured the "real" version would be cool. It turns out I've had it on my computer for a long time but never listened to it because of that annoying bass drum sound at the beginning. The chorus is still beautiful, but the rest of the song is bleh.....Gotta hand it to Prince for being able to change his song that much, and still have it retain most of it's redeeming qualities....
Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together

Really. Hmm. I'd read them on some site as ocean. I can't remember which one.

You guys are talkin'about "When 2 R In Love" right.

"Come bathe with me
Let's drown each other in each others emotions
Bathe with me
Let's cover each other with perfume and lotion
Bathe with me
Let me touch Ur body 'til Ur river's an ocean"
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Are you talking about the song Love on the 3121 CD? To me it reminds me of flying.

I love both versions. In fact there's nothing I really dislike on 3121.

The lyric is "let me touch your body til your river's an ocean"

He means he's gonna get you extremely wet.

That's what I thought/figured.

Anyway, yes, the song from 3121. They're dramatically different, but it still keeps a lot of it's original qualities. Very cool....
