For me this track only gets better every time i listen to it. The guitar work, particularly at the end sends shivers up my spine. Its such a cool song, anyone feelin it?

The first few times I spun Planet Earth I hated this track, but it has grown on me and now I think it's the best track on the album.

I think that is how Prince's new stuff is. U have to listen to it a few times and than u see the magic in the song. I still say those that think his newer stuff is bad. Even a bad Prince song is better than anything people are putting out today.

Totally love this track, hell I love PE but this is one of my favorites from this album. Its kinda sad 2 me. Such a beautiful song

I love this song 2,i just played a few minutes ago. Love the guitar playing,lyrics,voice,etc.

Worst song on the album. I love the rest though.

Love this song.

Worse song on par with purple and gold!

i still hate it, it so let's down the album.

Best song on the album.

I was just listening to this song on the way home from work today. I really don't enjoy this song. The guitar is pretty cool, I guess, but it just doesn't do anything for me.

Very strong spiritual song, one of my favorites on PE~ Thank u Prince for this special gem

My favorite song on that horrible album. Love everything about it except for the chorus and its biblical metaphors.

I don't understand why folks hate this song so much.

And I don't get why folks hate Planet Earth so much. It's not great, I admit. But the album's also not terrible either. It's far better than New Power Soul, in my opinion.


I also liked:

All The Midnights in the World
Planet Earth (the title track)
Somewhere Here On Earth (his best vocal treatment in years)
The One You Wanna C (even though it's not great, it's still catchy enough).
Chelsea Grammar (too long and a bit boring after a while, but not horrible either)

And I don't care what you fuckers say, I laughed at Mr. Goodnight, especially the "Raisonettes" line and the "Spanish man" line. Brilliant

It´s not THAT bad as an album but this is one of those albums with good music being ruined by not so good lyrics....a bit like TRC.
I think Somewhere Here On Earth and Lion of Judah are some of the best songs he´s written in the past 15 years but I don´t like the "Lion of Judah" metaphor in the chorus and I can´t stand the lyrics to "The One U Wanna C" so I skip the song. And Chelsea Rodgers is just plain boring,I still don´t understand why people like that song.

And you´re right, the line about the "Spanish man" is pure genius, albeit unintentionally funny.
