7 .*appreciation*.

heart

one of my all time favorite prince songs, everything about it is perfect, even the lyrics! lol - imo of course wink

awesome vocal performance too.

star

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare

I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die

And I saw an angel come down unto me
In her hand she holds the very key
Words of compassion, words of peace
And in the distance an army's marching feet
But behold, we will watch them fall

And we lay down on the sand of the sea
And before us animosity will stand and decree
That we speak not of love only blasphemy
And in the distance, 6 others will curse me
But that's alright
4 I will watch them fall

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare

I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die

And we will see a plague and a river of blood
And every evil soul will surely die in spite of
Their 7 tears, but do not fear
4 in the distance, 12 souls from now
U and me will still be here - we will still be here

There will be a new city with streets of gold
The young so educated they never grow old
And there will be no death 4 with every breath
The voice of many colors sings a song
That's so bold
Sing it while we watch them fall

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare

I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die

Really loved this song from the 1st moment I heard it. Took me a year or so after I heard to get into Prince but it`s one of the few songs where I remember exactly where I was when I 1st heard it. I don`t listen to as much nowadays w/ all his recent output but it`s still a great song to me.

This song, along with When Doves Cry, Thunder, and Thieves in the Temple are what drove me to prince fandom when I was in middle school. This is one of the best songs ever written in my not so experienced opinion.

It's the background counter harmony just before the 'We will see a plague...' verse that never fails to floor me. I still remember hearing it on headphones for the first time and rewinding those five seconds of aural perfection back on my tape player about 30 times. I recall reading somewhere how Prince previewed this track to some Warner executives during the D&P era as evidence of future hit-potential to smooth the way for them releasing Goldnigga.

I loved the long live intro to it on tour, but I never really cared for the song.

Can't even remember the last time I heard the album version. When I do listen to it, it's the acoustic version from the single or the version on the Act II tour (specifically, the Rock Over Germany boot...LOVE how Bland's drums kick in on that version!)

I AGREE!!!! I loved this song from the moment I heard it, everything about it works for me!! That first verse drew me in and I haven't stopped loving it since then!!

Prince is GORGEOUS. I'm inspired. GOD is GREAT. Is there anything else to say? lol

Hmm ... guess that means I gotta start looking for the acoustic version....

Do love the song ... it's olso one of my 'running' songs .. it's got a good rythm for jogging.

The video is ridiculous tho ... thankgod many of the videos of the 90s were silly!

I always notice the fingercymbals when I hear them ... in my head those fingercymbal sounds are for ever and ever connected to Mayte in that video.

I appreciate this song when he plays it live. Don't like the album version that much.
