Venus De Milo appreciation

Playing Parade on my computer and have listened to it hundreds of times before. Listening to Venus De Milo and the song is one of the most beautiful compositions in the back catalog of Prince.

The orchestration is majestic, serene, and sensual all in one instance.

ANy other Venus De Milo fans?

It always gives me the feeling of a beautiful Sunday morning in the country. Very picturesque

I always thought it'd make for a great prelude to a wedding ceremony, or an interlude in a funeral ceremony.

A wedding for sure. The whole Parade era produced some great music

His voice can be heard on the track nod

He gives a relaxing "Mmmmm" on the track.

Gorgeous song.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

This song pops into my head whenever and I stressing and trying to get a hold of myself. It's weird, I haven't listened to it for over 10 years, yet it still pops in my head every couple months or so. The whole song
