~All the Midnight's~

This song from "Planet Earth," has so many strong feelings within it, especially the line, "Our happy days outnumber the grains of sand."
This is my favorite line from the song because "Grains of sand," are in actuality a finite number, and Prince gives the line an eternal smile. cool

What is your favorite lyrical sentence from this song and what would the line inspire U 2 question or state an opinion about?

What is real funny about the Planet Earth album for me is that I bought it in the summer this year in June @ Electric Fetus...it was the last copy....
(eventhough it came out in January)

and I played it all summer and felt the songs sink into my heart
This one was and is a favorite of mine,

as far as what lyric is my fav hmmmm..I truly love the whole song,

however at the end when he says

I'd trade them all just to spend with you all the midnights in the world

this line to me sums up the entire song...saying that he'd trade everything just to spend the rest of his days with this one special person...

touched touched

A metaphor is comparing two things that are not alike.

I believe this is an analogy 4 eternal happiness.

It really doesn't make much of a difference...
I would never damn public education however, because pretty is as pretty does.
And Intelligence is just as superficial as beauty...
We were given everything.
