I wasn't sure if I'd like Prince's lyrical arrangement of Creep - cause I love the original so much.
But after listening to it, I really enjoyed it! He made it his own; he definitely pulled it off.

Below is what I could decipher from the lyrics he was singing.
Please augment or add corrections if you have em. Thanks.


When I was here before
couldn't look you in the eye
it's just like an angel
skin makes you cry

you float like a feather
this beautiful world
you wish you were special
so do I

but you're a..(?).
you're a liar
what are you doin here?
you don't belong here

you don't really care
you just want to have control
you want a perfect body
you want a perfect soul
you want me to notice
yes you do
when your not around

I wish you were special
yes I do
Cause I think you're special

Maybe I'm just a...
who to say, maybe we're the liars?
what are we doin here?
we don't belong here

(Falsetto sing something like..)
shoo da da doo
sho wa hoo hoo
sho hoo hoo hoa
sho hoo hoa hoo

(kick ass guitar solo)

Ranks right up there with Just My Imagination...which I think is the best of all time. (That I've heard, of course.)

Fron Yahoo.com music blog of the Coachella's report..

But of course all of this--the allstar Ronson revue, the Portishead comeback, the Ritchie-Maddens, the burro--had been leading up to tonight's main event: PRINCE. His Purple Majesty had long been rumored to play Coachella, and finally this year, he was added to the bill at the last minute to presumably boost lackluster ticket sales. Someday our Prince would come, and finally, that someday was today. Ever the diva, he emerged on the main stage 20 minutes after his advertised set time, but after having fans wait for him during years of unfounded Coachella rumors, what was 20 more minutes, right? And he was well worth the wait.

"Coachella, I am here!" Prince declared as he strutted up to the mic in his spotless snow-white suit. (His first outfit, before he changed into a Big Bird-yellow ensemble.) And then he did something rather un-diva-like: He dedicated the first 15 or so minutes of his show to some of his old cronies. It was a sort of "Prince & Friends" extravaganza, if you will. First, Morris Day and the Time shockingly came out and did "The Bird" and "Jungle Love" (which made me so very, very happy, since Prince and the Time disappointingly didn't perform together when they both appeared at the Grammys this year). And then Sheila E. materialized behind the drum kit, singing "The Glamorous Life." I couldn't believe my eyes nor my ears. What could possibly be next? Surprise cameos from Appollonia, Vanity, the Family, Carmen Electra, Wendy & Lisa, Tevin Campbell, or Sheena Easton, perhaps?

Well, that didn't happen--although Prince did play a Sheena-less version of their old duet, "U Got The Look," later in the night. But already with the first three songs of his set, Prince had totally upstaged Mark Ronson's celebrity-guest show. He also had Mark beat in the cover-songs department, playing two completely unexpected tunes: the Beatles' "Come Together" and, even more astoundingly, Radiohead's "Creep." The latter was transformed into such a wonderfully Princely soul ballad, he really ought to record it and release it commercially; if he did, I'd be willing to bet my hard-earned Yahoo! paycheck it'd be a hit.

Of course, Prince played a good number of his own hits, never seemiing the least bit jaded or unwilling to crank them out yet again, despite the fact that he's performed them countless times over the past two or three decades. Among the highlights were "1999," "Controversy," "Little Red Corvette" (with its very fitting line about "Saturday night"), "Cream," "Anotherloverholenyohead," "7," and even his 1979 song later made famous by Chaka Khan, "I Feel For You." And his encore was the double-wallop of "Purple Rain" and "Let's Go Crazy"--it doesn't get any better than that, people.

Sure, there were a jillion other songs the Artist Currently Known As Prince could have played: "When Doves Cry," "Kiss," and "Raspberry Beret" were all conspicuously absent from the setlist, for instance. But hey, he did a rad Radiohead cover, he reunited with the Time and Sheila E., he rocked for two hours (waaaay past the regular Coachella curfew), and he didn't play "Batdance." So there's no way I can complain here. Prince's set will, without a doubt, go down as one of the greatest concerts in Coachella history. Thank the Goldenvoice gods for adding him to the 2008 bill.

I honestly don't know how anything's going to top this...

when i read reviews like this, it just makes me wonder where the hell everyone else on this planet has been 2 not realize that every song with the xception of the cover of radiohead, he's done many a times. so 2 paraphase the "it doesn't get any better than that, people." line, oh yes it can get better..leave the hits at home next time and dazzle people still with the guitar work on lesser and more current material next time
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

Freddie, you my dude but don't you realize that this is a special music festival mainly for music fans, not specifically a show set for a set artist? You and I have talked about this before but this is the place for him to showcase the hits because 90% of the audience only knows certain songs from the man. They could give 2 craps about how he used to do concerts that didn't have Purple Rain in it, Purple Rain is what the audience wanted and that's what he gave them. Prince can't satisfy everyone but he has to do something to get the majority in his corner and I believe he did that with the setlist he did and based on what I've seen, he did an excellent job, especially with Radiohead's "Creep". My God that was too good for words. Wait till a show comes around here in NYC and then go with that whole "he needs to put more new songs in his setlist" rant again. nod

Y'all just don't get it, do you? This is about conversion! This is about playing to an audience that has heard his 80s recordings (Purple Rain, most notably), but has never been to one of his concerts. He's playing to them in a place they are already...so they'll come to him next time he's on tour.

He is not going to win them playing "Family Name." If he played that, they'd be all whofarted and go home and tell people, "See? I told you Prince was a weirdo."

After 30 years, he knows which side his bread is buttered on. He's just making sure it stays buttered.

To which you might reply, "Of course, he does. If you weren't so busy listening to the shit they play on the radio, you'd know that."

i don't listen 2 the popular stations on radio when i do listen which isn't that often..so yes i do tell them that he has new music and when i play it 4 them, the response is usually this "that joint right there is HOT ..y doesn't he play that live?"

and then i answer them in the org fashion style "cause the general public and promoters won't pay him 2 play something like family name in front of thousands of people" in essence keep the lid on the jar that is bursting 2 open ..

omg u r on one. U have been bitching about this man 4 a while now. U really need 2 take a break before u hurt yourself or someone. We all have problems but Prince ain't one. Now what u need 2 do is try relaxing, take a chill pill sit back, close your eyes and rock the f%@k out of Creep. While doing so inhale that killer guitar solo with the outstanding vocals he delivers. Trust me if that don't cure your disappointed ass, nothing will. I think u r bitching just 4 the hell of it. U like 2 keep shit going that’s why medication can help people like your self. The man has so much music from his back catalog that, u can pick and choose as u wish. There r so many other artist out there that u may prefer other than Prince at the moment. Try it u might like it lol There is nothing worst than an angry Prince fan sad

u said it urself so much from his cataloge 2 choose from yet it's the constant songs we all know backwards and 4wards including when the song will end err anything wrong with wanting him 2 delve in2 that vast catalouge and pull shit that we have either never heard b4 live or rarely heard live?

as 4 delving back in2 his catalouge i'm listening 2 the gold experience tour where NO OLD SHIT was done so instead of trying 2 hand me the chill pill give it 2 prince so he can chill out on the overdose of the same repetive shit nod

as 4 other artists ..i'll b seeing ms badu and the difference between her and prince ..she still promotes her new stuff equally as her older material ..

wait didn't prince do that be4? eek
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

When I was here before
couldn't look you in the eye
it's just like an angel
skin makes you cry

you float like a feather
this beautiful world
you wish you were special
so do I

but you're a..(?).
you're a liar
what are you doin here?
you don't belong here

you don't really care
you just want to have control
you want a perfect body
you want a perfect soul

Prince Steals the Show at Coachella

Pop superstar Prince stole the show at the Coachella Festival in California on Saturday night, turning the event into one big party as he thrilled fans with two encores. The singer strutted onstage at just after 11pm, dressed in an all-white ensemble complete with glittery fringe, and played up to the 60,000-strong crowd's screams, declaring, "Coachella, I am here!" After telling the desert audience, "You are the coolest place on earth right now!" he wasted no time in launching into his set, with his band striking up the chords to "Jungle Love" as singer Morris Day appeared onstage, while Prince showed off his skills on the guitar. He continued to let his fingers do the talking as he rocked out on the guitar, welcoming Sheila E to sing another track, before jamming with him on the drums. Later on in his set, Prince treated the packed crowd to his hits "1999" and "Little Red Corvette" before stunning fans by pulling off the biggest surprise of the night - a unique cover of Radiohead's "Creep," with an added guitar solo and extended falsetto.

I just listened to Creep and I didn't love it.... the second guitar solo near the end was solid, but the rest of it was just okay... I'm sure being there it would have been a great experience though....

Too bad you can't hear it, sorry...
It's very moving and made me cry.
I've listened to it a million times already.
I really hope that it nobody finds it so that
it can stay... forever.... shrug
