"Shy", an underrated gem! Today it is time to shine a light on the track "Shy".
I have always loved that track, the way it starts with the girl walking (or is it Prince himself on his high heels  ), that ultrafunky rhythm guitar intro and then the song itself: brilliant! I like the storyline, also love the strings on this jam. The only thing about it is that it goes on a little too long...

Probably in the Top All Time Five Prince songs for me...as if I could compile such a list!! As I've said before, one of those great times where the lyrics are as intriguing as the music..."I wonder what LA's thinking..." gotta love it!!
Also LOVE that bluesy version on The Park II boot from Fall 1995. He NEEDS to put this into a future live set.. Matt "Because when you say annihilation my friends, you've said all there is to say" - Henry Rollins | |

How could anyone NOT like this song??? It's SUPERB.
Funkaholic1972 - LMAO!!! I've always assumed it was a woman tottering inthose heels; each time I hear it, now, I'll think it's Prince. Imagine him in stilletoes!! | |

i love the way it begins with the sound of the shoes... then the percussion comes in and is hitting in time with the shoes... then that funky ass guitar riff... shit... this song is a jam, y'all...  ... Mr. Ellis Dee-licious, the Official NPGigolo

The entire 'The Gold Experience' is way underrated

Would have been a terrific single,but if a shit song like
"Gold" which screams "I NEED A HIT" can't get any airplay I dunno | |

I have fantasies about him doing this song at this year's celly...if we talk about it enough who knows? Perhaps his people will see this and suggest it to him and he'll do it...shit, he did Dolphin, why NOT Shy???  | |

Absolutely, Positively and very much indeed A JAM!! It would've been cool to see Prince perform this one last year on Acoustic Night at the Celebration! I'da fainted   if he had done it!![This message was edited Wed Feb 5 14:08:39 PST 2003 by RedZRyder] | |

I looove Shy. Amazing song.
I seem to remember reading in Billboard magazine an brief piece about the Gold Experience... the planned singles after Gold were 319 and Shy. But I guess since Gold didn't do well, they were shelved. Too bad. | |
