There Is Lonely Appreciation

I think the tone and lyrics of this song represent loneliness very well. I like how the chorus emphasizes how lonely he's feeling three times. I especially like in the second chorus the way he sings: "Perhaps only Cain when he'd slain his brother could ever come close to knowing how."

What do you think about this song?

Yup, consistently emotive song with thoughtful lyrics. You don't get that too much these days...

I like the vocals & the darkness. I dunno it's an odd one to me. I like the guitar work in it about 1:15-1:30 & then it's done w/ the last chorus. I think it's pretty avg for Prince, but it's not bad.

I think it's a very dark, emotional song.
I've listened to it for different reasons.
It's one of the better songs on TVOFFS.

Yeah, it's a strange one. You can feel there's definitely some raw/genuine emotion that's been put into it, but it doesn't really go anywhere. At only 2:29, it comes and goes before you know it. I guess it's quite demo like in that respect. I don't really see it as anything more than an interesting oddity.

Love the delivery and words....he makes ya feel the loneliness.

"There is lonely...and there is LONELY...and then there's how I feel right now"
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

The tone and lyrics represent loneliness PERFECTLY.


Prince friggen NAILS this song.


The references to CAIN after he slayed his brother [Abel] are poignant and genius. The low tone in his voice...the way the melody moves...the gospel tinge..the almost gothic feel of the song.


EVERYTHING works in this song. It's brilliant. It's Prince at his best yet most simple.

Lawd, I love it when you agree with me.
I just want to slip your drawz off and take you.

But then again, when you don't agree with me
I just want to push you down and RIP those bitches off of you.



Sheeeee---it.. sigh

OMG! No one ever talks about this song. Absolutely love this song. Gorgeous melody, it's so authentic it sounds like he's really experiencing this heartbreak. Real music. Period.
