I dunno, maybe I haven't listened to it enough, but I just find it plods along, not really doing much - I find it a very tedious song.

It's ok, but I haven't had the urge to listen to it in a few months... I'd rather listen to any song from TRC.

Yes you are. The one without Mike Scott really showcases some beautiful guitar work from P, and live in 2002 it is taken to a new level. Joy in Repetition for the 00's.

I thought it was a boring, dreary, psychedelic track. Prince's voice cracks several times too.

What really made me hate that song was the loop that was on the NPGMC site for lord knows how long.

I like Beautiful Strange. Prince's live version on One Nite Alone is absolutely devastatingly mindblowing to me.

I still prefer the original version w/o the added guitar
but that's probably just because I heard that first and
got used to the song that way.

The version on RAVE IN2 almost feels like a remix now, but
still a very good song. It goes well back2back with I love
U but I don't trust U anymore.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

It sounds to me like when you listen to The Night town Rotterdam after show...when he starts playing it I think the crowd thinks hes going into Darling Nikki...
and I think this makes sense maybe he cant do Darling Nikki no more so he does beautiful strange to replace it ...they kinda sound alike too

so if this is true then B.S. is B.S.


we'll refer to it as B.S. from now on lol
