wow has no one mentioned Solo on this thread?? eek
A Prince song disliked by so many that it doesn't even show
on the "Unpopular Prince songs that you love" thread?! lol

Well, I have always loved Solo. It's sparse and desperate,
he's sometimes barely whispering, sometimes bellowing,
and all the time it's reverberating as if he is alone in the
dark empty church in the b&w picture on the album cover.
I'll never forget listening to Solo for the first time,
it was right after he did the name change and pronounced
that Prince Was Dead and at the end of the song when he
is whispering lower and lower I'm So Low... so low....
My name...
...is
.....and for that quiet second i was like:
ooh damn!! what's he gonna say?! His name?? is what??.....

no one.....

damn!

I don't know, i have always felt the effect he was going
for on this one & I love it. but I totally know how almost
no one else can stomach it at all sad

I hear what you're sayin'... 'cos I really Feel... & Love that song !



SOLO

So low, the curb looks like a skyscraper
So high, the stars are under me
So quiet, I can hear the blood rushing through my veins
So low, I feel like I'm going insane
The angels, they watch in wonder
When U made love 2 me
Through the rain and the thunder
U cried in ecstacy

And U were so kind
I felt sorry 4 all creation
Because at the time, no 1 was lucky
no 1 was lucky, no 1 was lucky as me

And now U're gone and I just wanna be still
So silent, I'll just let my senses sleep

It's gonna be so hard 2 hear my voice
If I ever learn once more 2 speak

I'm so lost, no 1 can find me
And I've been looking 4 so long
But now I'm done
I'm so low, solo, my name is no-One

now, think about it, just a little.
"dreamer" isn't really that "unpopular" is it now.

come to think of it neither are half the songs in your list. Maybe you should think more than a little. brick punching slam missile

Ah HA! I was waiting on someone to mention this song because I sure was. He sounds so innocent and so cheesy:

" You're the wind and the rain *synth riff* you've got a river *sigh* that takes away my pain *chimes*..."

Then there's something about the sky being " Oh so bluuuu." I friggin LOVE it! I really haven't heard For You talked about much here on the org and the appreciation thread was DOA.

Yeah, the line about funky blue cheese was my sig for a while... Guilty pleasure indeed. cool

Now that I think about it, does the fact that so many orgers secretly like Animal Kingdom mean that it should now be disqualified from this thread? big grin

Popular to who, I can't profess to know everyones opinion, I know for a fact some people do not like those songs especially Free (It gets all sorts of abuse).
Rather than criticise our choices and tell us we are wrong, be grateful we are replying to your thread. (Something I won't be doing anymore), what gives you the right to tell me I don't understand the topic, don't be such a hater. Besides how do you profess to know the barometer of the popularity of songs by Prince.

Get a life (Seriously)
So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time
