Compassion is a great song. It never struck me when I first got the album but I listened to it again last week and I realized it has some great lyrics. It's the usual Prince style where you kind of have to decipher it a little but the bridge to this song is quite clever.

Whatever skin you're in
We all need to be friends
All happy again
So much better than nothing

Everybody can win
With a little faith in man
Beginning of an end
Start up a brand new something

Plus it has an awesome boogie at the end.

Just dont like that line "so much better than nothing" sounds lazy... but I like the song.

really? the previous two lines are much more lazy to my eyes and ears. the one you quoted is damn near poetry compared to them.

As a relatively new Prince fan (which means I tend not to compare everything new to everything old), I really like it. Except for laydown, it's my favourite song on 2010. Lyrics are a bit crap but the melody is cool.

And now that you said it, it is a little like Let's pretend we're married. Another amazing song!!!

I love the music, the lyrics are a bit sappy

The music actually reminds me of Tick Tick Bang, seems to have a bit of that New Wave touch

Yes, the lyrics could be better but the music is great!

I like the shifts in tempo and especially the way the music is composed in the second half.

Sorry but I really like it.He should do the dearly beloved intro and then go into this.

Yeah! And let Shelba sing! AAAAAAND let Andy do the guitar solo to LGC at the end, yeah!

I like it. It obviously can't lick Let's Pretend's boots, not even close. But that's not a shame.
