^^based on nursev's lack of awareness of some things that were released, I'm gonna guess she'll respond to this with a eek .
:lol:

But maybe I'm wrong.

And yes, great song. Well-written lyrics too.

It is one of his very best lyrics. I love the rhythm, the synthesizer, the lyrics, the vocals! One of my all time favourites for sure. And yes, the 25min version is crazy.

I love this song a lot and it is one of my favorites on the album (next to Let's Go Crazy). There isn't a moment in the song where you stop dancing boogie The song fit perfectly at the end of Purple Rain. heart

This is probably in my top 3 favourite Prince songs. Everything about it is brilliant. It's simply timeless.

I was just teasin', nursev! wink I enjoy your threads and posts.

Not everyone can know everything about princeworld - there's just too many darned unreleased stuff, bootlegs, and even too much released stuff (some of which is not easily accessible). But I'm sure you know more than me!

underrated gem my ass... it drags on forever and it's the aural equivalent of watching paint dry

not even the 10-minute edit can redeem this turd, dude should have released the unedited STUDIO version as a single instead

The album version was live too. However, I don't like the 10 minute version all that much, never heard the 30 minute version, wouldn't want to. I think the album version is great and underrated.

I LOVE this song! Unlike most of you guys I've only seen him live once and was so excited when he played it! I'm the worst singer, kind of like Cameron Diaz in my best friend wedding am am really shy about singing, but I just had to!

I'm not very religious so went off it a tiny bit when I realized he's talking about god, but then my son asked "is that a daddy talking about his kid?". How smart is that? It totally would make sense that way too! So I love it again!
