Still Waiting, yay or nay!

Silky, subtle, sweet, old fashioned Prince at his best. Love the naive vocals. The simple but beautiful little melody. The way to piano sounds. The little guitar fills. The backward vocalization of the title. Just an awesome little song.

Big yay and a big smile. Prince without the ego.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

Like the song, not my favorite from this album though, that would be I wanna be your lover.....or maybe, Its gonna be lonely. Still a nice little tune though.

YAY!!
no one ever tlks about this song
I use to listen to it every morning when i woke up
this was like the soundtrack of my life at one point
April usually brings showers
This time it was a hurtin' kind
This woman said she wanted my baby
I told her I'd have 2 be deaf, dumb, and blind

Amen. I love this song. When I was in my teens/early 20s this was one of my theme songs.

Eh, I think it's fairly weak. I much prefer "It's Gonna Be Lonely." I do think that the live versions of "Still Waiting" that Prince performed in the early years (as heard on the City Lights bootleg) are much better than the studio version.

Yup.

My cousin and I used to always joke that the beginning of "Still Waiting" sounded like it should be playing at the "Regal Beagle" while Jack and Larry try to pick up chicks.

the whole prince album (this song especially, i think) has grown on me considerably. a bunch of lame lovey-dovey-type songs without the best lyrics or arrangements, but it (like most of p's stuff) has it's own unique charm. it and for you both. a young genius "finding his voice" touched. it's cute. not the definitive princey album, but...cute cool.
For all time I am with you, you are with me.

Yay! This is actually the song that introduced me to Prince lol In early 1980,my mother was raving about a song that she had heard..she said it's called "Still Waiting".A few days later,she goes out and buys the 'Prince' album and plays this song to death!

Nay. Before the Controversy-album, I only find Crazy you, When U were mine and Uptown interesting.
I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic.

Nay.
This song and the other ballads on the album just weigh it down. This one's better than "When We're Dancing Close and Slow" (which is one of my least fave Prince tracks ever) but still rather snoozeworthy.
Brace yourself
The best is yet to come
