It better be good.

I am actively against music videos. They kill the listener's imagination.

Music videos are dead - the poster not formerly known as Prince.

I'm expecting a modern day Thriller. Something that blows you off of your feet.

LOL. See, this is one of the advantages of being old.

Back in the days of the dinosaur, we had no videos. When a song came out, it became attached to you either through what you imagined it to be about, how you imagined yourself in the singer's place, or what you were doing at the time you heard the song.

When MTV hit the scene, songs became associated with the video. Is there anyone that doesn't first think of zombies when they hear "Thriller"? Not that I didn't like the video for that, but I am kind of glad that for most of my favorite songs from my youth, the memory I attach to them is something personal instead of the artist's video interpretation.

All I can say about music videos is it's lucky Prince was way good lookin' back then. Not to take anything away from his music, but had he been fugly, he'd've had a tougher climb.

I think it's because someone like MJ had a real concept of his videos to make sense with the lyrics of the songs. There's videos out there now by other artists that don't make sense with the lyrics at all. It's just an excuse to be exotic and controversial (do what MJ, Madonna, Janet and Prince did in their "heydays" kind of thing).

And who knows if we'll even see this Prince video. This is a guy who, according to Kevin Smith, would record 100 videos and put all of them in storage never to be released.

But see that's why people are all on about imagery. Prince wanted to look "perfect". I think he kinda expected the music videos to take over so he was more prepared for it. That's why he's got a billion videos by now.

Actually, I think he's fascinated by film. And not a little narcissistic.

that would be tight if he did like

his persona over the years

like showed him dressed up as controversy prince (cant start at dirty mind prince )

then purple rain prince

then SOTT prince

then graffiti bridge prince and so on and so on.....

its not that creative but it kinda goes with the whole beginning endlessly theme (with his career)

lol the fans would enjoy it lmao

Well I can't doubt that knowing he has done major and mini films since the '80s.

it's my favorite song on the album!

i hope it's good. i didn't care for the videos for lotusflow3r.

Eye hope it will b good!

interesting... so i assume Beginning Endlessly can sorta be considered the lead-off "single", of sorts?

Aww man

Wish Sticky Like Glue or Act Of God was going to have a video

Beginning Endlessly.... good choice...

cool cant wait 2 watch thanx 4 sharing the info

No, the single should be Sticky Like Glueeeeeeee

GREAT NEWS.....BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM ......

erm... that link has NO talk about a video coming soon.

i think a few of you guys need to re-click it.

Is there anything "official" about that site ?

Most of the videos just don't play - because of my country perhaps - and - oh ! - they also announce videos for "Sticky like glue" and "Compassion" on the homepage...

...too beautiful to be true ?
