Damn I wondered about that...cuz hawaii is not 42 thousand feet above the sea! But i think its a compilation of all his loves, mayte, mani, Lisa and any others. He works magic with his lyrics. He tells bits and pieces of his life in song or at least makes you think that. The gif gets me every time. He look Rico sexy there.

That animated pic SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. I was not expecting him to move

TiMix said:

he is breathing tho.

It's the song he wrote that "broke the camel's back". I think around the same time he interviewed about being in the studio a lot and being in a position to make a choice to write "a" song or get "a" divorce. He was obviously threatened or just knew that if he wrote that song (or songs) he would have to face the music, so to speak. If I'm not mistaken on camera in one interview he said he wrote it for his "beloved". He didn't say wife. It might have been about the other song from the other album tho' Call My Name.

Wha??? i don't understand that part...please elaborate!

DesireeNevermind said:

When he did that interview on Canadian tv, during the "Mani" tours, that interviewer asked him about being married and still working and touring and stuff. Prince responded with something smart like he needed to reevaluate his schedule because he could write another song or get a divorce to some effect like that.

salutetarian said:

DAMN, WHAT AN ODD THING TO SAY. HE JUST NOT CUT OUT FOR MARRIAGE!

jseven said:

Well, I can remember a discussion a while back here on the Org.

It was said that the song was an outtake from the Emancipation era... (this one and the Dance) and that the song was about Mayte...

But the video with Te Amo Corazon was scripted to reflect the break up of Prince and Mani.

There was some talk about Te Amo being words that he whispers on a earlier song from either Emancipation, or The One from the Come On CD. Emancipation CD and The One was obviously inspired by Mayte.

jodi081630 said:

I get it alright, and so did the Accountants.

Song is not from Emancipation. Was recorded sometime in 04/05.

Friend/Lover/Mother/Sister/Wife or whatever it is called has the man saying Te Amo towards the end of the song after he says Friend..Lover...Sister...u get the picture.

U can tell by his delivery that Prince forgot he sang Te Amo b4 as he was nailing it a lot better on FLMSW. hehe.

That being said, I do like Te Amo Corazon better.

Te Amo Calazone....

Ahhh..the sweet love of Italian food and how it effects your arteries.

jseven said:

You corny like a bag a Fritos!! I like it.

i love this song & the video is very classy

prodigalfan said:

But they were seperated tword the end of that cd The One was the last vid they did 2gather sad. He does romantic song like that right b4 a split.

jseven said:

ditto

jodi081630 said:

I am curious as to what is the turnaround time for Prince to get inspiration for song, write it, produce and record it, and then make a video. Yah know what I mean? I have a feeling that by the time we hear Prince song... it is old news for him... and so whatever was the inspiration for the song is long gone by then.
Wasn't that a problem for Prince and Warner brothers? They wanted him to slow down between songs and let the fans savor a CD but by that time Prince was bored with it and wanted to move on?

Also, the whole vault thing... he writes songs then put them down sometimes for years... who really knows when the song was written?

Insiders have said that TAC was written during the Emancipation era and reworked for a release years later... the video was shot during the breakup with Mani.
