Power Fantastic

Just listening to this song today...
Wondered what kind of feelings it gives you guys when ya listen to it...
Love this song! razz

Late at night when the world's a-sleepin'
U are frightened cuz the power's creepin'
In your room, it's something U're afraid of
Life of doom is what this feeling's made of

Power fantastic is in your life at last
U're a little apprehensive
Cuz what it is, is what U want and need

Minor G is the chord of pleasure
It will be played 11 measures
U will see fire, but U're cool as ice
U are a liar, huh, if U say this isn't nice

Power fantastic is in your life at last
U're a little apprehensive
What it is, is what U want and need

Power, power

Power fantastic is in your life at last
U're a wee bit apprehensive
Cuz what it is, is what U want and need

Power, power

I love this song. It's so beautiful. I always feel like I'm somewhere else, in a fantasy of sorts when I listen to this song. music
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Yeah, me too. It's almost sad, yet SEXY at the same time...
Love it!

You hit it right on the nail. It's all that and more. A beauty of a song.

My favorite love song of Prince's. It's a perfect embodiment of how Prince mixed the spiritual with the sexual. It's beautiful how it could be referring to opening yourself up to some kind of spiritual or religious salvation, or how it could be referring to simply opening yourself up to the power of love and romance. Or both at the same time.

I don't think any love song he's ever done has surpassed this song.

It's a shame that the official release of this masterpiece was almost "confidential", was it supposed to be included on Dream Factory?

It was on one of the possible configurations for the album but as it's based on a W&L track called "carousel", I think that's why Prince shelved it for the most part.

Great feeling, and a great song.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

One of his best songs about God.
