There is so much emotion when he sings it. It's the lyrics that speak to me. He may not have written it about me, but he wrote it for me.
Peace. Love. Prince

This song always makes me cry when Prince starts singing:


U don’t know what you’re mean 2 me
Do ya
Do ya
Do ya heeee
Until the end of time I’ll be there 4 u
Adore u



It just touches me so much for some reason. mushy sigh I've always thought that Prince wrote this song about Susannah Melvoin.

I love this song too - Only I think of my baby daughters when I hear it:

Until the end of time
I'll be there for you
You own my heart and mind
I truly adore you
If God one day struck me blind
Your beauty I'd still see
Love's too weak to define
Just what you mean to me

I even had it printed on Elsa's birth announcements - I know it's out of context of the song but the lyrics mirror what's in my heart.

OK - that's enough mushiness out of me biggrin
I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off

C'mon and dance while you, while you still have your cherry babe, cherry babe..

This has been my shower song for so many years. It's a great song to (try and) sing while bathing.

One of my favorite Prince songs. I ended my wedding with this song, and my friend is going to have it be the first bride/groom dance at his wedding.

Actually, I think someone did ask him who Adore was for at a sound check on the ONA tour and he said it was about Susannah. shrug

Really? See, I was right. giggle I always had a feeling that the song was about Susannah, since the song, "If Eye Was Ur Girlfriend" was supposedly written about her as well.

Did he really say that? That's very personal. I can't see him saying that openly. I'll always believe Adore was written for Vanity. There are just too many Vanity references in the song.

I remember back in the day Vanity appeared on BET Video Soul with Donnie Simpson. Donnie asked a lot of questions about P. Vanity answered very truthfully. Donnie asked who was P's woman? Vanity replied, "You know I don't think Prince has a woman. He can't just single out one woman." Vanity asked Donnie a question. Do you mean who owns his heart? She replied, "I don't know you tell me." Well P must have been watching. Because Adore was a direct reply to that question. In Adore P sings, "If you need me, I'll never leave" We all know Vanity was the one who left Prince, right when he needed someone the most. I can go on with Vanity references. But I won't. I'll just agree to disagree with you. Let's face it. P never really got over Vanity. And Vanity never really got over Prince. awwwww...I just wanna cry. wink

Yeah, we can definitely agree to disagree on this. wink

P used to answer questions at the sound checks before shows on the ONA tour. Someone at one of the sound checks posted either on here or on AMP (don't remember which) that Prince was asked about Adore and said P said it was about Susannah. shrug I don't think it was an overly personal thing to say, seeing as how he also said Forever in My Life was about her - he answered that on an online chat.

Many songs are said to be about Susannah and I believe they are.

When Sign O' the Times came out, after all the engagement rumours in ´85/86, I naturally assumed that lovesongs such as Forever In My Life, If I Was Your Girlfriend and Adore were about Susannah.
(Also considering her placement in his thank you notes on the album. "Susannah period" - then everyone else).

Years later people from his innercircle started talking and confirmed that these and many other songs were written about her
And Prince himself has indeed confirmed that he wrote both Adore and Forever In My Life for her.

I remember those soundchecks during the ONA tour, they were awesome! I miss them, and wish that Prince would go back to doing them again. Prince talked to his audience, and people got to ask him questions. It was so damn cool!
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Susannah!.... I'm not putting her down. She's cool. But listen to Lion of Judah it refers to Adore. Prince states, "I still Adore you, Adore you". He's making other references to Vanity as well. I won't be surprised that in the near future the two hook back up.

nod and don't forget that she was also invited to the Sign o' the Times release/rehearsal show in mpls - as well as to the Crystal Ball release party (W&L weren't even invited to those. So she was obviously significant to those projects, either inspirational or otherwise...
