Elephants and Flowers

Depends in your taste. When Graffity Bridge came out, it was certainly one of my immediate faves.

I always liked "Elephants and Flowers" okay enough when I'd hear it on the CD. But when I heard it from within the context of the movie, and saw the visuals, I caught the rhythm even better. I LOVE that song.

I like this song. From the first listen. Perhaps I forced myself because I needed to find SOMETHING on GB to love.

At any rate, My favorite line is "On a crowd of naked bodies stripped down to their very souls."

This recalls an idea in The Ladder: "the love of God's creation will undress you."

I remember being angry when Lenny stole that line and stripped the subtlety and brillance of it for the chorus of that hideous song he did with Sean Combs: "Strip down to your soul."


I used to love Prince lyrics. Apparently he was in a hynoptic trance that allowed him to come up with really reflective lines -- unlike now.

truly awesome song! nod love still wish he'd a put graffiti bridge out as just a "prince" album without all the guests stab lol. would'a been one of his best albums, imo headbang. the outtake version of this song is as good as the one he released, all raspy-voiced and junk love clapping. both versions headbang though! dancing jig worship music
