Cinnamon Girl Appreciation Thread ...



Cinnamon Girl

As war drums beat in Babylon
Cinnamon Girl starts 2 pray
Eye never heard a prayer like this one
Never b4 that day

Tearful words of love 4 people
She had never met b4
Asking God 2 grant them mercy
In this face of a holy war

Cinnamon Girl
Cinnamon Girl

Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage
Never knew the meaning of color lines
9/11 turned that all around
When she got accused of this crime

So began the mass illusion
War on terror alibi
What's the use when the god of confusion
Keeps on telling the same lie'

Cinnamon Girl
Cinnamon Girl

Don't cry, don't shed no tears
One lie won't make us feel
'Cause we know how
This movie's ending

Cinnamon Girl

As war drums beat in Babylon
And scorch the blood red sky
Militants bomb the 4eign guns
Both sides - children die

Cinnamon girl opens the book
She knows will settle all the scores
Then she prays: after the war
That there will not b anymore

Really great song and video. I remember seeing this song on one those "Best of 2004" cds.

His best pop single of the 00s decade. Period.

Killer chorus, niiiice melody, and some retro-Parade vibe that's really cool.

When I listened to it the first time back in 2004, I thought: "Ok, Prince is back, this is truly a comeback, this is a really strong single". cool

5 Stars; best track of Musicology, and waaaaay better than anything on Planet Earth / LotusFlower...

When I first heard it I liked it instantly without really knowing what it was about. The lyrics concept and idea are first class. The music matches well. It's simple, organic and the vocals portray that. 10/10 from me.

Best song on Musicology. Deep, political lyrics, more social commentary going on than in most of his other political songs, great video, great vocal delivery, very contemporary lyricswise, not too overblown and overproduced like a lot of other newer songs, and it somehow reminds me a bit of Dolphin.
The chorus and title could be better but it is a great song.

It was one of my favorites on "Musicology", but it's blown away by a much but rocking Prince track, "A Million Days".
