Song just blows my mind, every time. Prince was on, the day he wrote that one.

One of my fave tracks

<----looks at hair strand

Yes! GREAT SONG.

I always enjoyed the song a bit, but when C-Note came out...I was blown away...it was only a soundcheck too...amazing!

that's something. That Prince taped his woman's hair on the bathroom window.

the bootleg version with the guitar solo is UNBELIEVABLE! so much emotion. one of the best.

the version at the aug 28th aftershow in london was insane! i was in the crowd like

There's no such thing as bootlegs.

Though, were I to hear a version with a guitar solo, I imagine it would be a cool one...

I could only name two songs on the other thread, but I also think this could have been the B-side to She Gave Her Angels, and would have gone on to be one of the Killer-B's.

hey fams
what album is this song from...??

1st version from 1985 then a piano version from the "i'll do anything sessions" (1991/1992 era) and the last one known by Fans, the guitar version from Gold era sessions (1994/1995)!
This song is not from a specific Album!

The guitar solo on the '90s version is so emotional. Beautiful.

yeah, it's awesome, one of my favorite outtakes. i about had a heart attack when he started playing it at the 2002 celebration.

There's a released version on C-NOTE. And the Gold-era version is basically the (otherwise uncirculating) 1985 version.

I absolutely adore, love and am obsessed about this song!
Been listening to it on repeat for days now.
It's so emotional and I really feel with him.....
I love all his songs, but I have to say I love the emotional/sad ones more....maybe cause he really knows how to sound sad and he knows how to make his guitar weep....

EXCELLENT.

Colonized Mind from new album has a bit of the same feel...although it's more Jimi-esque....

The video is fucking awesome too.

Great song! I remember when Prince sang this song at the Celebration in 2002 - the audience went crazy!

Fantastic song in every way. I wish it would be on the Lotusflow3r CD cause it deserves a bigger audience than it's gotten. I love it.

me likes the video version the best with the cymbals and shit. although they are a bit repetitive ("empty room, empty room, how am i gonna fill this empty room?" ), the lyrics are okay ("found a strand of your hair..." is my favorite ) and the music. good track

Me too. You've just gone up in my estimation.

I so love that song and one of my favs. It was a dream seeing it performed on the ONA tour, plus the different versions at Indigo2 in '07.

He always goes back to it, so why doesn't he release it? Though, had the Gold Experience come out when Prince wanted it to, we would probably have it now.

x 2. I was excited enough about seeing the Gold Experience Tour, but seeing that video before the actual show, made it even better.

Amazing song.Love it!
