So much better when we take it easy... (Slow Love)

All I can say is I'm a romantic at heart.... I absolutely love this song! Sign O' times is such a great album.. I haven't heard many people talk of this ballad...
So for all of you ballad fans out there... Do you have any love for "Slow Love"?

Comments/reasons *thanks much*


Young is the night
It feels so right
Now that U're mine
Let's take our time
The man in the moon is smiling
4 he knows what I'm dreaming of
Tonight is the night 4 making slow love

The gentle breeze
It blows with ease
Let's make IT slow
Just like the wind blows

Let's make IT last forever
For a hundred times won't be enough
Tonight is the night 4 making slow love

Slow love
So much better when we take it easy
Slow love
So much better when we take our time

Love's in your eyes (in your eyes)
Eyes never lie
Don't rush the feelin'
You've got me reelin'

U can see through race car drivers
Let me show U what I'm made of
Tonight is the night 4 making slow love

[repeated to fade]
Slow love
So much better when we take it easy
Slow love
So much better when we take our time

I love this song. In fact, I think it's the best ballad on the album. I've never been a fan of Adore, and I think Forever in My Life is good, but Slow Love is amazing. It's beautiful, romantic, and sexy.

Slow Love is good, I love it too. If Prince would make a "Love songs" album this song should be on it.

But... I love the other ballads on the excellent Sign "☮" The Times album even more.... the other songs are just even better,

but in the movie Slow Love works fantastic, a very sexy ballad,

the SOTT Movie version is just excellent. 9/10.

I think Slow Love is a very pretty song, too! It makes me wish for a rainy day with a man lying next me!
...lets make it last forever, for 100 times wouldn't be enough! I was singing that very line when I got out of the shower this morning. smile

I couldn't stand this sappy slow love birdie song for listens on listens, until I started craving it? Aha, funny how that works out.
i love singing along with it.

Oh and the sax makes that song! His voice mimicks it at times giving it a great texture

Like Efan, it's my favorite ballad on SOTT. Adore is great, but Slow Love tops it by quite a bit, IMO. The emotion in Prince's vocal delivery is awesome! As JF said, it's fun to sing along with. Each time I hear it, the chorus gets stuck in my head for DAYS afterward. love

I like the song but it almost sounds as if he's not giving the best of his vocal skills.

Eric Leeds is such an integral part of Prince's sound of the time. This is just an amazing song overall, one of his greatest soppy ones, up there with Damn U, Scandalous, Adore and Instatiable.

Ooh, controversial, but I think I'm with you on that one.

Fantastic song...Wendy's guitar and background voice add a lot while being not much IMHO. Did that make sense?

Sorry, though...ADORE is TOPS!!!!
