must check it out sometime.

Comeback
Im not sure, but im guessing this writen about his son
When ever i hear this one is makes me think
Tears go here

But i it specialy the waves, water, dolphin sounds

Being a marine bio major, that synthetic sound he used here is nothing compared to the real thing trust me, I know the real thing.

I think he used the synth for the animal sound on purpose. You know...so he wouldn't be exploiting the animal - who couldn't give his permission to be recorded?

The dolphin sounds he used in "Dolphin" I liked more than this. What he used here is the classic sound effect people play when they want to know what a dolphin sounds like

I finally figured out the volume with "The Truth." I was already starting to catch up with the lyrics and I'd been looking at them less and less. "Don't Play me" is coming more and more into my favor. The lyrics are starting to make more and more sense and I'm slowly becoming familiar with him again as a person.

"Circle of Amour" remains my favorite, but for some reason, I get a sad vibe from it when it came to some of the lyrics. When it went into the instrumental break towards the end, I felt like I wanted to cry for some reason. I'm sure the song is about a circle of tight girlfriends that were always there for one another, but could the line "circle of sex" imply that they were lesbian girlfriends? Nothing's off limits with Prince. When I listen, I recall the vibe I got from "Until I'm in ur arms again" from NPS... but throughout this song, the music is beautiful. The keyboards he's using here sounds very familiar to me. Not the notes, but the sound of the keyboard. Reminds me a little of mine when you play one of the songs programmed into it.

"3rd eye" I'm still figuring out. The guitar scheme he's using sounds very familiar, like it was used by another artist. Though I'm lost through most of the song, the last verse really stands out... where he says "the only one who can save u is u..." and w/e comes after

"Dionne" has another air of sadness about it, but I recognize the harpsichord as one of the main instruments he uses in it. It's not quite as insulting to "Dionne" as I thought originally (u know how he is with his songs about old g/f's... they do him wrong, he insults them in a song, etc.), but I"m still figuring the song out. I think I might be liking it less than before.

"Man in a uniform" I'm still figuring out too... but the only thing that I really don't get into is the way he says "man... in a uniform"... like c'mon Prince, are you serious? haha... but who knows, it could become one of my favorites with time.

"The other side of the Pillow" slowly hit me. The tone in his voice felt like home and it's been a while since it has. Something that kind of snuck up on me, but I just started smiling uncontrollably because I did feel at home with him. I guess taking that atrocity of a song out of the line-up is reconvincing me that we have a chance... yeah right. Age difference, not to mention how unreachable he is.
I don't quite get how he's cool as the "other side of the pillow" though.

"Fascination" truly feels like a precursor for "Strange but True" with all the musical effects that he uses, but the way he delivers each verse somewhat reminds me of that song. He doesn't really sing in them much at all. The lyrics will take a while to get through, but I am digging the scene.

"One of ur tears" is a song that I'm not too cool with. Not really into it all that much... but I think I started figuring out what it was about. Its very sad. Prince feels like he can't live without this girl and if she doesnt want him, he'd rather die... even says his breath is not worth anything. Must have been a low point for him.

"Comeback" almost gave me chills while listening to it. Thinking about the context of the song. This is the first time he'd acknowledged this particular death in a song and it must have been the hardest thing for him to write, but maybe it was about time he told the truth.

"Welcome 2 the dawn" will be another that I'll figure out with time... what it truly means. I feel like I want to get a deeper meaning from it, as with all the other songs, but that's something I'll have to feel with my heart and soul to know the answer to.

I've been on the album nearly all week. When I was listening to the first couple of songs, I was getting that sinking feeling that maybe... I've been listening to it enough...
Tomorrow probably will be the last time I return to it.

I'm slowly catching on little by little.

"Circle of Amour" remains my favorite. It sounds like the idea of "If was ur girlfriend" revisited... going in2 the relationship that girlfriends have with one another, only this time, he's merely an observer. Not just the lyrics, but the music... all of the keyboards and synths that comes with it are just beautiful.

Though I dig all of the songs for different reasons (except for one), there are a couple that aren't quite up there as the others.

"3rd Eye" is somewhat repetitive... and actually, I've got no idea what he's going on about the last verse alone makes it worth a listen it really makes u think.

The only other track not quite up to par with the others is "One of ur tears." I'm sure I'll appreciate it later on... but it somewhat reminds me of "Silly Game" from Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic... an R&B track that's kinda weak compared to the other material. They even have the same feel.

"Welcome 2 the Dawn" is very... sorry, spiritual lack of a better description. I feel like I'm slowly catching onto what he's talking about, but I can't quite describe it in words. Whether the Peter Frampton "sound box" trick works for him, I'm not quite sure. Most cases, it does work, but I think the 2nd time he says "Welcome 2 the Dawn" with said voice-box doesnt come off quite right. But I felt like almost when I hit it since it was the last song

Almost all of the tracks have a sound/feel that parallel a track either from NPS or Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic

Circle of Amour/Until 'm in ur arms again
Dionne?(not sure if it his was this one or another song)/Undisputed (one sound bit in this song he used later in Undisputed)
One of ur tears/Silly Game
Fascination/Strange but True
Comeback/Tangerine (though their only similarity is being good, but a little too short... though Comeback wins hands down :comeback: )

And "Other side of the Pillow" has all kinds of reasons why it's another of my favorites

are you listening to the TRUTH by PRINCE?????

are you serious?????
