Comeback

I have had Crystal Ball/The Truth since it came out and ONLY today while I had The Truth on in the background did I realize how incredible this song is!!! Absolutely gorgeous and SAD!!! I can only imagine (and I'm sure it's probably been verified) that this is Prince dealing with the loss of his child. That "tears go here" section at the end gave me goosebumps. And that length is perfect...2 minutes of pure melancholy and longing and most importantly, resolve. Really good stuff.

I love this song. I think it's gorgeous. It got my hopes up for his future work at the time. Alas, (said in theatrical manner,) i've not been fussed by any of his releases since.

I agree with you. That's one of most beautiful songs he has ever written.

YES! YES! YES! This song is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

Walking up the stairs
Just the afternoon
Sweet wind blew
Not a moment 2 soon
I cry when I realized
That sweet wind was U...

From the first time I ever heard it, I've considered it one of the most incredibly beautiful, moving songs ever written.

A truely emotional song, something perfect to reflect on someone you've lost.


If you loose someone dear to you
never say the words they're gone
they'll come back
