I was just listening to this song. What a gem!

I dig the feel and sound of this song. The arrangement is catchy, smooth and simplistic and compliments the duet vocals. For me it’s one of those Prince songs that fill my heart lyrically and musically. I adore it!

A constant battle 2 stay ahead of the game
Is anybody famous when everybody wants fame?
Always trying 2 break U down
Thinkin' that'll raise 'em up
I just wanna b happy
Come take this bitter cup from me

If I were ever 2 write my life story
I could truly say through all the pain and glory
I was just a piece of clay in need of the potter's hand
Cause when U whispered in my ear
The words I so now understand, oh...

Beautiful, loved and blessed

What say you?

I say it's the most boring song on 3121. Even duller than Te Amo Corazon.

Genesia said:

I disagree. I think Te Amo is a lot more boring & I really dig BL&B & I really enjoy the duets as well & the little extended jam @ the end but to each their own.

So...it's more important to refute me than to answer Tiki's original question?

Okay.

I dig this song it's words are true and the music is mellow. Nice driving song.

For me, it's garbage like most of 3121 barring the title track (which is too good a song and shouldn't have been included on such crappy plastic sounding album).

it's alright. not bad. not great. it's catchy. and it kind of moves along at a decent shuffle. outstays its welcome though. one of the more tolerable attempts at a (and i stress) contemporary mid-tempo r&b ballad that he's done for awhile.


um.... yeah.... it's alright but i'm not dying to hear it at the moment. or any moment.

Genesia said:

Ahhh, good old self flattery.

I really don't like it and it doesn't resonate with me...but I can see why people do, it being so positive. I don't hate on it, but I rarely listen to it either. It's good I suppose, but not for me.


I did always feel though, that it had a pussified version of Thankyoufalettinmebmicelfagain(?)'s bassline in the last "jam" section of the song.

i disagree.

I don't hate it but I wish he'd have left it off 3121. It belongs more on Tamar's album.

Beautiful song

Genesia said:

i did answer, sorry some1 happens to disagree w/ opinion. get over it.

TikiColadas said:

Yes great song
When it came out (not sure if it was released in the UK) it was all over choice fm.

I love it to death. The lyrics are so great. And I love, love, LOVE to play this groove on guitar.

I hope to teach it to my youth band next year.

It's acually my least favorite track on the album and the Leno version dod nothing for me either. Glad some of you like it though. Having said that 3121 was a good album IMO.
