When U Were Mine is a genius song with a kickass keyboard solo and it tells a relatable story with amazing lyrics.

Take Me With U is your typical love song with pop sappy lyrics. Musicially, it's okay. The worst song on Purple Rain and it stood out on the album in a bad way. Should have been an outtake.

I love both songs. But I'd give the edge to "Take Me With U" just because I love the violins so much. That melody is constantly in my mind.....

الحيوان النادلة ((((|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|)))) ...AND THAT'S THE WAY THE "TITTY" MILKS IT!

When u were mine by far the better song. And Genesia will agree with me.

99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment

I think Take Me With U is pure genius, and I love the way he's been playing it these last few years.

I've seen what's his name do some such iteration of Take Me With You in concert. So I'll go with When You Were Mine because that hasn't been ruined for me and I love Cyndi Lauper's version too. shrug

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

Totally agree. Take Me With U should have stayed in the Apollonia 6 album as intended

Relatable? He is a stalker on some Every Breath You Take vibe before Sting ever tought of it imo. lol

Do you relate: hell no..but it is interesting and peaks my interest hmmm lol

When you were Mine, CLEARLY.

However, I always find it much more moving to hear 30 thousand odd people shout the chorus to Take me With U than the same 30 thousand shouting Purple Rain.... it's more joyous.

When You Were Mine is only my favorite Prince song of all time. So...that.
