Livin' 2 Die (Our Lives)

So...who likes this song?, ok...granted it's not one of his best outtakes, the mix is quite cluttered and too much going on.

But still...something about it i dig, don't listen to it for a few months and then go back and listen again.

Thoughts?

It's OK. I like the latin feel to it which Prince also exploited better on Sleep Around previously - but I can understand why it didn't make it on albums released to date.

...and isn't it actually an outtake from around 1995? Has there anything been leaked after 1996 at all?

I remember a couple months ago there was a post on this song and it seemed like everyone hated it. I don't know what was up with that, but I personally like this song. I only wish my copy had better sound quality!

I too wish the sound quality on this was much better. It certainly sounds very cluttered and, just like 'We Got The Power', there seems to be a lot going on in the mix.

And the likely title is 'Livin' 2 Die'. Not 'Die', like someone posted on a similar thread some time ago.

'Die' is a completely different song recorded by Prince, albeit from the same period.
