I've always wondered, how the public would react had he released this tune Its a shame, because the song is a masterpiece.

When I'm alone, my mind takes a drive
Through chocolate religion and spirits alive
All I was brought up in this world 2 know
Is lost when a demon swallows them whole

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know

It's strange how your mind works when Love is in power
One learns 2 care and appreciate a flower
What makes others want 2 change your mind?
All the things I've seen, life is so sublime

7-month-old baby died in her sleep
The parents went crazy and cried 4 a week
They swore they heard her laugh in the crib by the wall
They're convinced she's with us if she's anything at all

Bobby had an uncle who took a string
And wrapped his neck around it, a pitiful thing
If only we can turn back the hands of time
Except there's others here with us, life is sublime

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know (I know)

All the things I've seen

Well, I think I would react in a strictly positive way and many others would be with me, I know

Maybe this gem could find a place in a supposed 'Crystal ball Vol.2' 3 cd set, along with other hidden jewels such as 'Love or Money' (non-Camille version) and 'The Ball'.

That song is Beautiful!!

The title alone has so much in it [its implications, etc.]

This song is a testimony of Prince's hyper sensitivity.

I used to do an 80's show on the local college radio station. Every Halloween I would do the annual Halloween party. I used to play this song every year. The last year I did the show (my personal favorite Halloween special), I played it within the first segment. The first segment looked like this:

Thriller-Michael Jackson
Munster's theme-Comateens
Dr Heckyl and Mr Jive-Men at Work
There's others here with us-Prince
Mr Crowley-Ozzy Osbourne

BTW, the song used to creep my girlfriend (at the time) out.

His song is easily the ONLY with substance among them

Hey now, Mr Crowley is a darn good song that has a little bit of substance to it. How many other people would sing about Allister Crowley? Plus Randy Rhodes kicks arse!!
