flip! as soon as I saw the title of this thread, I was gonna post EXACTLY the same thing!

I used to play this and "Splash" on Piano in my University lobby at lunch times... awesome piece...

'dre

It's not only overtly spiritual, but it also is an incredibly romantic and sexy song. It would fit perfectly on Lovesexy.

I love this track so much, it's part of my email address....not very practical 4 business purposes, but people r always very intrigued, n' often complimentary
about it

The song evokes an atmosphere I have often felt 'late at night...' So intangible that I could never describe anywhere near as accurately as Prince does here.....

I only discovered it a few years ago...n' was like "How does he know?"
Prince can b Pretty spooky like that...n' I can't get enough!!!!

it funny this song is mentioned i have been in2 this song so much 4 the past few months i cant stop diggin on it its just a beautiful song its like prince goes in this zone and cant be touched and this is one of them songs

it's a great song to listen to anytime . i love it so much, such a classic .

u will lie, if u say this isnt nice....

i don't know why but it just something about listening to the music on headphones but yeah i know what you mean especially this song it gives you chills it's a good feeling!!!

I listen to everything Prince at night on my headphones,I stay up later than my housemates,so I can't be blasting my stereo.

This is by far my favorite Prince song...EVER! And the lyric: Minor G is the cord of pleasure/It will be played 11 measures is my favorite Prince lyric of all time. People don't understand what's so special about this song. I'm so glad I'm not the only that is in love with it. It's mysterious, sexy, romantic, spiritual and even a little haunting. But I FRICKIN' love it!!!!!

I really don't have any headphones. sad but true.

I did that before..It's great. I love this song.

And I love to play it with the original instrumental opener, as mentioned in the liner notes of The Hits/The B-sides. That makes it PERFECT.

Bringz me 2 tearz...so beautiful.

I love this song. I love the arrangement, the playing, and his vocal performance is lovely however, it's very spooky and sometimes leaves me feeling unsettled because I'm not sure what "Power Fantatic" is.

"You will see
Fire, but you're cool as ice."

and

"Late at night
when the world is sleeping
You are frightened
Cuz the power's creepin'
In your room
There's something you're afraid of
Life or doom
Is what this feeling's made of"

these lyrics make me wonder if the Power is good power or evil power.

One of Prince's best songs ever. I feel like I'm swept away to another place, whereever it is that's pleasant, everytime I listen to this song. The beauty of this song just strikes a chord with me. When I saw Prince do this song live, thought I was going to lose every part of my mind. This is a Prince song that EVERYONE on this earth should hear, Prince fan or not.

oh my god ..where and when did he do it live... !!!

It was the last show for the ONA tour at the Aladdin in Las Vegas in 2002. The show that was filmed for the DVD that came out the next year and sadly, this was one of the songs that was not seen on the DVD. The performance was incredible.

purplecam said:

Yeah, I was at this show too. I had great seats & I thought this was the highlight of the entire show. I wish he'd play this at an award show so the rest of the world could experience this high.

I wanted to HURT him when he was soundchecking it BEFORE they let in the NPGmc into Bercy. Buggery mean bastid!



Sorry Prince. I did not mean that.

Wow, this song is 20 years old and was really different from what P was playing then.

Love it!

Co-friggin-sign! It would blow EVERYONE away! This song is STILL ahead of its time.

This track is timeless, as it speaks of the power which is beyond time,
n' completely without dimensions. It has an extra sensory quality to it, which we can all relate to, as we become aware, once all the external n'internal chatter has ceased, during the space n' quiet of the night....
