"WITH THIS TEAR" a few questions.

trying to find out everything i can about this track. In my opinion it's one of the most beautiful songs ever and has a special meaning for me.

when it was written
what or who is it about
has/does Prince ever perform it
which album was it intended for
and how did it get to Celine Dion

thanks praydove

she certainly is a good singer, but I just don´t like her. Is there a Prince-version of this track? Never heard of it.

I agree that this is one of his most beautiful songs. I could see Ms. Steele singing it.

thank you dawntreader! and thanks for the video. that should've been released as a single for Celine Dion. either way thanks to prince for writing it and to Celine for bringing it to life. that song was definitely meant for her.

The first time I heard this song I bawl. I still remember sitting on my bedroom floor listening to it,and looking throught the insert,and following the lyrics,and then seeing that it was written by Prince. I still cry when I hear it. Truely beautiful. biggrin

How can you not like Celine? The only thing that drives me a little batty is the chest thumping. lol

great song writting and celine's vocals r very touching
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
