The arrangement makes it a song that can't really be identified as anything in particular, but what we can define is that at least the melody of his singing is blues indeed. did u know prince was thinking of the song everyday people when he wrote this song? No, how do you know? Do you want to prove some kind of point with this or was it just a nice way of passing on information? | |

datdude said: wow, sounds like ppl don't know what the blues is. its one thing to have a song with LONGING in it, like How Come You Don't Call Me No More but BLUES is all about the arrangement. So How Come doesn't qualify, neither does 4Ever in My Life, or Gotta Broken Heart Again.
I'd say Satisfied, On The Couch, If I had a Harem, for me. The Truth and Don't Play me are just acoustic and more folksy than bluesy, IMHO Im sorry but How Come You Dont Call Me Anymore sounds blusey 2 me how about Count The Day's?Everybody's looking 4 the ladder

and another reason he would do 4ever in my life then go in2 everyday people in concert man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

Interesting selections so far! Maybe the blues are open to interpretation. I can actually see how some of you selected "Forever in My Life." I never really thought of it that way before. Slowing it down would give it more of a "bluesy effect." Wake up!......Wake up! | |

Yes Sdldawn it is indeed isn't his keyboard so beautiful in this?
honestly.. i think a tremendous difference would have been made with the instrumentation.. flat keyboard makes it sounds cheapy | |

I heard him do Mary don't you weep once and it was a slice of chewable, fulfilling bluesy funk. | |

yeah that's the first one I thought of. Awesome!
I also really like that demo version of 5 Women. Nice! "Hyperactive when I was small, Hyperactive now I'm grown, Hyperactive 'till I'm dead and gone"
