The Dance was haunting and powerful to me. I played it to death!

Now the Word, had a nice tune, nice words... I didn't skip it when it played. Never once rewinded it.


so for me The Dance gets my vote.

I don't think the 3121 version of The Dance is the best version of that song - to say nothing of it being better than The Word.


stfu

I hate you! I want to hear the other version so bad!!!!

The Word can lead into The Dance...or is it visa versa. Anywhoo they are both beautiful songs. Love the lyrics in them both, mattter of fact the whole CD Heyy tapp your feet to both beats. Imagine that fish fish

Hmm, I had to look them both up. I'm not able to recognise a Prince song by means of the title anymore.

I like the "pain" in The Dance. The melody reminds me somewhat of Te amo corazon, smooth, nice for the ears.

I find the Word not bad but it lacks excitement (kinda dull).
I get no emotions with that one. I like the refrain part with the spiders.

"my English sucks" edit lol

I NEVER COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MAKING LOVE ON THE STAIRS, AGAINST THE POLE, ETC, ETC.....?????

While making love on stairs sounds painful...I think the point was that there wasn't anything wrong with it. He was just so...crazy right there that he was saying everything about her.
I remember one time one of my friends made a list of what she hated about her ex and one of the things was "He's mexican" and SHE'S mexican to...so...rolleyes


falloff wtf!

I was just listening 2 this cd in the car on my way home. The Dance is by far my favorite track on 3121. It's Prince at his best....from way back then. Powerful. It's somewhat on the same level as eye Hate U.


3121 is the sexiest album imo! heart
i prefer the dance as well. i'm feeling 'the beautiful ones'

The Word wins in my book. The Dance is just horrible.
i liked The Dance when it was first released through
the npgmc on The Chocolate Invasion. that version is
lightyears better than the new overdone kitschy song
he turned it into. bad move imo.



hah Haaaah!!! Here is my opinion on both versions of the Dance.



I like the older version in that it is not a big musical production. I always thought the piano interlude on the 3121 version sounded a bit like Liberace. I was hoping a radio edit version would be made that would just take that bit out. big grin

But I do like Prince's voice better in the newer version. He used more talking in his natural voice, the whisperings... the screams. Just seemed more passionate. Funny how the song is the same but sung differently, I get a different story.

Old version: Prince is tired of the hurt he feels with old love and he sends her away telling her let's just end this.

New version: Prince loves the woman and wants more. She is not in love anymore but wants to continue friendship "let's be friends" and he is saying... I can't settle for just friends because of I still love you.

Not really the same scenario.

Ive always rated The Dance, the best from quite a lame album. And to have plucked it up and redone the track for 3121, proves to me that he was desperately seeking something for the album to bring it up to scratch. It is a highlight.
Is it only me who actually likes the newer version better than the old? I like to think of the first version as a 'rough diamond', I know people like the 'demo' sound, but I really like what he done to it.

I agree. The new version is perfect.
