more than this

prince sang this song at the forum on 28th april.. so has anyone heard this yet? was it a roxy music cover or a new song? i'm curious cuz nobody said too much about it so far & more than this is such a cool tune i'm really excited to think prince has covered it!

can anyone here confirm & elaborate please. if you were at the show, did prince do a good job with it?

He performed it last Thursday night at about 12:30 a.m. It was the last song of the night. The song was performed with the lights out and the symbol stage ws blue. He sang a beautiful version of the song and it was a great way to close out the night. I wish this one would surface for all to hear.

Okay just listened to the original version. Prince's version kills the original. He sang in the same he would sing Insatiable. It was sureal that night. I wish all of the true fans could hear it because it was awesome!lol

This one?

More Than This lyrics
Songwriters: Ferry, Bryan;

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing?

As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning?

More than this, you know there is nothing
More than this, tell me one thing
More than this, there is nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going?

No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning?

More than this, you know there is nothing
More than this, tell me one thing
More than this, now there is nothing

More than this, nothing
More than this
More than this, nothing


99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

Yes that's the song. I have a pic of the stage during the song but don't know how to post it. Sorry. My only regret was being alone that night, cause that's a hot make out song.

Well that was the night where the upper section of the forum was closed off. Then by the time he played that song, there were probably only a couple of thousand people there, if that. I can't remember, but there were several encores that night and most people left after the one before this song. I'm just glad I stayed, I almost left too!

Yea, I was there I was able to get a little of it on video on my camera, but security was there to stop me. He was awesome and hope he actually puts it on one of his albums. It is a cover song so, those of us had the privilege to hear it we were lucky.
