From the tension and implied anguish of the lyrics, to the masterful instrumentation and arrangement, I consider The Dance one of Prince's most compelling songs...love it!  Babynoz, nice way of putting it. | |

This line alone makes one wonder 1000 different ways a picture can be painted based on words. P.S. She isn't the only one just standing there actting like she don't want it. U got legs walk on over and say something good to her(Mariah C reference). HA HA HA HA HA Sorry ya'll I'm so silly.  Proverbs 23:9 | |

I love the vulnerability of the original version. That said, the two versions are like halves of a whole, to me. My hunch is that the song was written about Manuela. The earlier version is about falling in love with her. The line, "I don't want to see you dance" is a reference to Mayte who, of course, was a dancer. There is tentativeness borne of pain there - not wanting to go there again because of the way the supposed "great love of his life" ended. That version just makes me ache because I sense his longing. The 3121 version is the aftermath. He went ahead and fell in love with her anyway - and this is the bitter end to it all. The orchestration - like the love, itself - is fully formed here. Lush and ripe - the way fruit is, just before it starts to rot. The whole thing ends in a swirl of anger and bitterness - just like the relationship. The pain has come full circle. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

i like your description of the emotions here. That's what i love about music/Prince especially. The art of music - painting that masterpiece and then releasing it to come through to the listener. | |
