I've always found something disinctly strange about this song. It's almost eerie.

You mean sort of like the video??? It seems kind of dark...

I'm sitting here listening to whole album, 'Lovesexy', and I really see what people mean, apart when I first heard it...it still sounds so fresh also, and a lot of the songs are so deep, Deep, DEEP, and the music!!!!!...I'm playing it back right now again...heart

i think it is sort of eerie with the keyboard sounds he uses and the plodding beat...

i actually think it's a pretty dorky song which doesn't fit in on either the black album or lovesexy, but it does work on the former slightly better.

i think it should have been a b-side or something.

it would have been great that way...it sounds b-side-ish to me.

not bad, just a little dorky for my tastes.

Last time I checked on Launch, it was a black background with lyrics on the bottom of the screen with little music notes...

Eeerie because the feeling Prince is conveying seems to be truly overwhelming him. Unlike The Beautiful Ones where you know where his emotion is coming from, this one's hard to place. It's almost like he's whispering in parts. Very cool.

While I have found that this song is viewed by some as one of the least of Lovesexy i strongly disagree. I think it is an intoxicating song and one of his better ballads.

Don't really like it. I always thought it sounded like it was slightly off key or something.

The strange thing is, on the Black Album it sounds like a peaceful moment of serenity.

On LoveSexy it sounds like a dark and unnerving ballad.

I never really liked it, i skip it if i'm listening to Lovesexy, and it seems out of place on the Black Album.I can't put my finger on what's wrong with it though.Strange.

I saw the video once on Beavis and Butthead, they didn't like it much either, they said it was shot in Prince's asshole or something.

There are actually 2 versions 2 this video. There is one with closed captioning at the bottom of the screen and there is another with the words in white capital letters in the center of the screen. Either way, there's just so much innovation here... bored

eye believe he is trying to justify his actions when being totally in love, in that it is ok to love someone in the way this song expresses. He is saying that it is pure and beautiful.

"nothings forbidden, nothings taboo..."
"let's drowned each other in each others emotions"

I've never heard the Black Album, and I never knew there is a video of this song. Is there?





YES INDEED I'VE HEARD OF THE BLACK ALBUM, JUST NEVER
HEARD IT. smile
