That could have been from editing or how it was punched in, but the note on which he morphs into the acoustic works beautifully in transition.

I love 77 Beverly Park, and I picture Prince serenading me in a castle, and I am Rapunzel and I let down my hair and he glides up all the while strumming his geetar

sorry to say that this is defintely a low point on LF. He's done this kind of thing much better on more appropriate albums. He totally kills the flow of this CD with this so-so instumental. It could have been a killer track cause that's where the beginning takes you than ugh...

Then you get ripped bald because Prince is truly bored and finally wants to have some fun

In my own way...I hear a heavenly, "With You." "77Beverly Park," is beautiful.

Yes, curious. There's a heartbeat that turns to a storm of sorts, then laughter and romance. The ending note is interesting too, very pronounced and final.

Giovanni, I agree with you about being blown away. Although, I am not crazy about the song, and I really did want to hear him expand on the brief intro, I was impressed by his ability to play this style of guitar. The song sounds incomplete to me, like he is feeling his way through this new approach to playing. Ironically, that is what impresses me about it. It is a true musician at work, learning something new and challenging himself. I don't dig the song itself because it doesn't go anywhere for me, but as a musician and music fan, I really respect and admire what it represents.

ya know not to be cynical, but even if that part did expand, I can bet there would be ppl finding something wrg with it, I like the fact that it is a mystery and all we can do is wonder at this point in what fashion it may be expanded. Maybe he will release and extended version to his Lotusflow3r members, you never know, Prince is a like one giant surprise

I love it, too. It starts off dark and turbulent and painful...and becomes sunny and peaceful and warm. It's as if every shred of emotional turmoil he's been through for years just falls away.

I said in the beginning that it makes me want to sit in a warm, sunny courtyard, drinking sangria and eating olives. This music comes from a place of joy and contentment. No Prince song has given me that kind of feeling since Alexa de Paris. (Although that wasn't so much contentment as wild, unbridled joy.)

once again all stroke and no climax....this is not a criticism..just an observation

Close2u said:

The opening line of this thread typed by YOU

Don't u just want Prince to lay it down right there when he starts to get all kindsa funky

My answer is yes and my posts reflect that

4 me it's like the beginning is ur at one part of the house then u go down or up a level, the doors open and ur in another part ..which is cool

if u can remember the interactive cd rom game u'll get my reference

Genesia said:

There must be a special meaning any ideas; like perhaps the trauma and stress of searching for your true love and then smooth sailing for the rest of their life once they have found eachother

Is there an established love interest in his life right now?

This song sucks MONKEY BALLS One of very few songs I've deleted off my ipod.

"This song sucks MONKEY BALLS"

I just love the juxtaposition of these two lines of thinking.

Hummnnn, in Wall of Berlin he talks about hearing the thunder b4 the lightening strikes. Perhaps this is the musical version of those same words?

This is a song I want to hear him play live cuz he would give us a rare treat.

I like this song, but I don't understand the intro.
Maybe outside of the song (outside of his home) is wild and all,
but inside of his home, it's a haven?

I like this song when I'm driving, it makes me think of strolling through vineyards in the late afternoon just before the sun goes down.
