It's a complete lie, at least coming from him, considering he doesn't date anyone over 23. But it's a nice sentiment anyway  Seriously. I can't believe anybody is falling for it 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

It's sort of like saying "no, you aren't as beautiful as me anymore, nobody is, I'm timeless, but you're cool, too!"
He's complimenting her, but only under the presumption that she's grown much older and he has not. My Legacy

I can't believe anybody is falling for it I don't know why you can't! Some of these folks are so far gone, if he started pin paling Charles Manson right now, they'd have 6's on their foreheads by nightfall.

Good thing he aint seein Hale Bop cuz the world would be littered with fams the next day
And how did people figure out this was about Kristen Scott Thomas? Do you have to be that far up the purple schpincter to have gotten that info? You can't tell from the lyrics that he's talking about her. Or can you? 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

In recent memory his ballads became predictable and cheesy - they were enjoyable to listen a few times, but then just got stale. He could put them out in his sleep. (See Satisfied & Call my name for two great examples) Better with time is DIFFERENT. It has a totally unexpected melody and grabs you in a totally unexpected way. More than that, I keep hearing new nuggets of brilliance with each listen - -- it truly does get better with time! hmm how about "the dance" >It has a totally unexpected melody and grabs you in a totally unexpected way. | |

This is a very nice song. I dig it. 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 | |

Hmmm... Susannah came to my mind actually... the 'cultured' reference...? But, why does it have to be someone, it's probably not anyone we know... | |
