Love it or don't: Big Tall Wall

I can't say how obscenely funky that drone beat is!!! This song BEGS to be remastered and released.

Prince... do it for the kids, man,THE KIDS!!!

What do y'all think?
Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.”

I LOVE THIS SONG! I wish there was a clean version of it. I've only heard a verrry bad copy.

Hate It!

It is a song in search of an arrangement.

I couldn't believe how bad the version of "Big Tall Wall" was on the new "Dream Factory" boot (disc 2). It was just hysterical that they chose to include it.

Do you mean the quality was bad, or the actual song?

Quality. It was barely audible. The song is a bit boorish also come to think about it.

I never thought about the fact there is NO music in this song!! Wow! LOL

Anyway, now that I realize this, I think I like it even more!

I like it a lot. It's almost perfect, but towards the end it drones on for about a minute when it should probably just stop. But I love the production, kind of like "Forever in my Life" just a sparse drum beat and vocals. It works well here, some of the harmonies he uses are amazing. It's kind of funny too!

I like this song. The obsessiveness about it, which comes
through very well depicted by the monotony of the beat &
the exclusion off all other instruments.

Yet, in the end, he jokes a bit. I always laugh when this
line comes up:


"I got more holes than a golfcourse...
oh yeah, you'll have company".



lol
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps
