Cosmic Day

I've just read that there's a snippet of Cosmic Day floating around the net.

Anyone heard it?

What's it like?

Yes, there's a 1.05 snippet going around and it rocks! I love it. I hope the full version finds it's way into mass circulation soon.

This is a cosmic dream
I look outside my window
I see the blue and green
There goes a mer-man, uh-oh!
Swimming in the sky,
How did he get there? oh my!
There's nothing strange,
I'm not deranged,
I only want every day
To be, oh to be, a Cosmic Day!

Tra la la la
Tra la la la
Tra la la la la la....

I'm not 100& sure about the third line because it sort of sounds like "cream", not green, although green might make more sense. But the rest of it is correct.

This could well be one of P's best unreleased tracks. Although I haven't heard the full version, the clip is amazing.

The clip is widely circulating now, shouldn't have any trouble finding it.

It's hilarious, definately in the running for Prince's goofiest moment ever. The pulsing chug of the beat brings to mind 'Romance 1600' the most, and the vocals are way higher and softer than Camille.

According to BorisFishpaw, the reason that the vocals seem higher than the other Camille material is because the original vocal was already in falsetto, so when speeded up it became wayyyyy high!

That Cosmic Day bootleg was BS. The person who put that together didn't
have half the tracks that were listed on it! ...So I'm not holding my breath.

I was severely let down when I heard it. I thought it had such a cool title (although very similar by the title by Funkadelic "Cosmic Slop").

it's hard 2 judge something just on a snippet, but if it gets the full light of day i'll comment then
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

From a book called "The Vault";

This song was recorded on November 15th 1986 when Prince had completed the Camille album but not yet embarked on assembling the Crystal Ball three-LP. It is a rousing, energetic guitar-based rocker cut from the same cloth as "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man".

The title phrase is followed by a guitar line which takes the place of a sung chorus (much like many other Prince songs). His guitar tome is piercing and razor sharp.

Interestingly, the melody resembles the main riff of George Harrison's 1970 hit "What Is Life?" (from All Thing Must Pass, 1970), which may or may not be the reason why Prince chose to withhold the song when he compiled Crystal Ball. The song concerns a "cosmic dream". Prince's vocals are speeded-up and higher than his Camille voice, which unfortunately reduces the impact of the song somehwat. Still, the song ranks as one of the most inspired all-out rockers that Prince has chosen not to release.

Well I've now heard it and at first I was really put off by the vocal but after a few listens I think it's great. Reminds me of The 1 u wanna C a bit.

It would be great to have the song.

Now I wanna hear the other snippets that are out there.

Everybody Want what they don't and traffic Jam are also out there somewhere.
