after years of avoiding TRC like the plague, this gem popped up on my shuffle today...wow so awesome. maybe a little too heavy on the preaching but im ignoring it

I *may* give the rest of the album a listen one day now...

who else has a crush on this song?

Great song, great album.

amazing song its up there with purple rain

I'd say its one of the poorer efforts on TRC.

I have to totally agree it is one of my faves from TRC. I have to admit though last December (2008) I went though a life and death situation with my youngest daughter (10) whose also a Prince fan and during her surgery this song happen to come on my MP3 player as I sat in the waiting room. Needless to say I lost it for a moment and had to excuse myself. She's fine but I'll always tie this song to that day.

Last December is a bright spot on an album that had very few of them for me.

I do! For about nine months, it was the first song I played whenever I picked up my guitar.

It's a GREAT song.

its a criminally overlooked song...
im not saying its better than purple rain at all, but it does reach greater heights in terms of scaling both a softer and harder side than purple rain. its nearly perfect.

Agreed. When I first heard TRC, it was *the* song that stood out for me. The only one I remembered.

I listened to TRC probably 5 times before putting it away on the shelf. I didn't pull it out until this last week, during my 'Prince Rediscovery from Start to Present Extravaganza 2009'

[i]For some reason i resisted liking this song at first, but now i do.

Prince's vocals are beautiful in this song...I Love the whole "Rainbow Children," album.
