one of the most underrated song on the self-titled second album.

It's one of Prince's most underrated songs...period. Very cool song from one of Prince's best albums. I just always wished that he had the distorted guitar on the hook a lil' mo' louder in the mix. Those power chords were kickin'. He just had it buried too low. Anybody hip to this female artist from the 80's called "Princess"? She did a remake of this song.

i agree with u that the quitar riff should've been higher in the mix. i even like prince's oringinal i feel 4 u version much more as the years go on.

OTHER THAN BAMBI...THIS IS MII FAVORITE SONG ON THIS ALBUM.....ESPECIALLY THA END!!!!

underrated song from a underrated album; i think its underrated...right?

I like the lyrics.

Fantastic song.

Beautifully constructed song, I love it dearly.

The Minneapolis Sounding group, Princess & Starbreeze, did an awesome cover of the song on their self-titled debut album!

I bought this album a few months back and put it on without looking at the tracklist, it took good minute or two into the first track before I realised what it was! It is a well done cover.

Great original track too of course.

That makes two of us. I think it's the intro they tacked on to it.

My copy skips like every other track, and unfortunately, that song is riddled with 'em.

I never cared much for this song.

It isnt bad, but it could be better melody- and compositionwise.

It sounds to me he was trying to produce a sort of AOR midtempo-ballad, a style quite popular in the lately seventies. But the result sounds a bit forced and underdeveloped.

I am in love with this song. I mean so so in love with it. I just play it all the time. It's one of my favoite songs of all time.

(No one toss a brick at me, but I like it more than Purple Rain.)

Go Active, (cough) I beileve I asked if anybody had heard of Princess in my above post!

This is a fantastic song. It's become one of my new favorite songs of P's.

I think it's one of the high points of the album.

Z, you know I would've referenced your original post had I seen it! I admit, I glazed it over so I wouldn't forget to mention them in my own post.

Princess's rendition is the business! The personalized intro she tacked on is a nice touch to an already well-executed tune.

There really is no words to describe what I feel for this song and how beautiful I think it is. This is a song that'll stick with me till the end of time!

lets all join hands and hug together around Prince

GoActive said:

I KNOW u would've G.A. And yeah, I agree about Princess's version. I didn't want to give her version props cuz I didn't want folks flipping out.

blackguitaristz said:

Don't tell me we've reached that depth of shallowness. Screw 'em, appreciating Prince and someone else within the same context is not a crime, or at least it shouldn't be.

One of my favs

LOVE IT!!!!!

yup

Surely a great song. This album is one of the best, but Still Waiting is my favorite track

This topic has been made before...
as I said on that one..
Its my all time favorite slow Prince song!!!

I almost agree with you completely. It doesn't sound underdeveloped, although if Prince had recorded it ten years later, it might have been overproduced. lol
I think it's the urgency in Prince's voice, he started as an AOR mid-tempo ballad but ended up on his knees in church.
Prince and I cried together endlessly when I lost my boyfriend and girlfriend in the same Valentine's Day weekend! (No, they did not know about each other.)
One of my favorite cry/heartbroken songs by anybody.
