Songs like "Somewhere Here On Earth"

This is my favorite. I love it because it reminds me of the poem "Unending Love" by Rabindranath Tagore. Does Prince often sing about his muse? Maybe muse is not the right word. Does he sing about a love that he is searching for? Can you please tell me the titles of the songs? Thanks!

This song sounds like a "gigolo song" to me ( that's how i call them when he sings that way).And I can't stand it.Sorry..

But I loooove "I wonder u". Does it count like one of those you're asking for?

He wrote a lot of songs for Susannah Melvoin when they were dating in the mid 80s.
The Beautiful Ones and If I WasYour Girlfriend are the first ones that come to my mind.
And he wrote a lot of songs for Mayte on Emancipation.

If we're talking muses, then surely "Muse 2 The Pharaoh" gets a guernsey...

I believe that Prince quietly acknowleges his muse in the song, "She Loves Me 4 Me."

Prince seems to confess that his soul wished for the muse of his heart...and the feeling that he found his muse is laced throughout his body of work.

It's an uphill climb to the finish line.

I always felt this song was inspired by Amy Winehouse's slow jams, such as Love is like a Losing game, that were especially popular around that time.

It also reminds me slightly of 'What Do you want me 2 do?' from Mcology.

THAT SONG SEEMS MORE LIKE A TRIBUTE TO THE FAMOUS BIBLE STORY THAN HIS ACTUAL MUSE.

I never liked that one. It's all about him feeling wonderful with a woman who does everything for him, but being in a relationship also means giving something to the other person. In other words, I'm still waiting for a song called I Lover Her for Her

When SHOE was released we had a little "guess what the lyrics mean" contest here on the org and some of us got the 3121 perfume sent to us from an orger named DigMeNow-nice memories!

I LOVE Somewhere Here On Earth.. it's in my top 20 for sure. cloud9

Definitely listen to the Emancipation album... tons of great love songs on there, such as: "Soul Sanctuary" (he didn't write this, but it's my favorite love song of his), "Dreamin' About U", "The Holy River", "Saviour" ... All are great songs and hopefully what you're looking for.

shrug Depends how you intepret it. I see it as more of a layered piece.

Psalm 31:21 Praise be to the Lord for he showed his wonderful love to me when I was in a besieged city.

I think he means L.A.

I thought it was dedicated to a lover that nobody knows about.

I don't know Rabindranath Tagore, I'll check the poem out.

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