Without a shadow of doubt THE BEST PRINCE SONG EVER!!!

The lyrics are out of this world- pure poetry, a Picasso of words.

I listened to it the other day and I was stunned by it's beauty.

So I urge all Prince fans to put Emancipation, disc 3- track 11 on, and tell me if I'm wrong.

I'll go do it now...and yes it is beautiful as is the concept of making love happen.

"Where the only love there is, is the love we make"- Pure genius!!

Tame..out of 5, what would you rate Emancipation? and ofcourse The Love We Make?

...In this new world, we will be there...
...The Only Love there is is The Love We Make.

And don't worry about the witches that stand for nothing...4 them...what goes around flies around.

When U love Jesus...Love goes around and comes around. A savior is coming soon.

Now which artist out there can come up with lyrics like that!! Thats why I love Prince!!

It is always hard 4 me to do that really...All of Prince's music is at least a 4 to me...So I would line them all up and start with 4.0...4.0001 etc.
Sometimes I feel that I would have to split the fast songs from the slow songs...because It's hard for me to judge a song I would dance 2, or listen 2...versus a song that is Spiritual Love or Male/Female Love.

I would say that the song, "Emancipation," is around a 4.1...and "The Love We Make, is around 4.4767

Phenomenal.Bringz me 2 tearz every time.

4 me, listening 2 many of the songs on emancipation, they will b 4eva tinged with retrospective sadness.
the album was recorded 2 symbolise (no pun intended), his freedom and his joy both as an artist and as a married man in love and an xpectant father... & we kno the outcome.
still beautiful songs tho' - "friend, lover", "lets have a baby", etc -

Very nice. But why is the girl reaching a climax in this song?

I already loved this song, but being there, watching this live at @3:30 in the morning on guitar at the HOB in Vegas brought it to another level. Just great.

You are not wrong because right and wrong is up to you in this matter . My personal opinion is that this song is way under-rated, not one of his absolute best, but very close. In terms of the 90s I would say it's one of his absolute best. Why didn't his 90s work get the appreciation it deserved? To some extent I guess it's because people just see things differently but I also believe that to some extent it's because of lack of marketing and because people forgot about Prince in the 90s.

It's all amazing music, that must've been swept under the radio station rug somehow...I don't know why...yet those of us that know the music, are fortunate.

precious is the baby with a mother
that tells him that the savior is coming soon
all that belive will clense and purify themselves
put down the needle put down the spoon

I think Prince could have skipped the Orgasm sounds this time.

how long will it take for everyone to get the message?
