Give your love to: When I Lay My Hands On U

I just listened to this again, this is such a fantastic track.

The lyrics...

The mood and atmosphere of it...

The sick tremolo effect on the guitar during the chorus...

The raw and unpolished vocal arrangement during the chorus..

The guitar solo...

The haunting ending of the song...

I really wish he would play this live someday! That would just blew me out of my shoes.
Listening to the background vocals the song must be from around 1998, because you can hear (damn, I forgot the name!). But could be post-Rave, too.



Alright, let the praising begin!

Yep i give...

I like tthe chorus with the dostorted guitar line... So Passionate and soft at the same time... Very mesmerizing...

The lyrics are so "Prince"!!!

i just feel so ashamed and ordained when I give it a listen...

It's the kind of fucking we all like to come home to on a
late friday afternoon ain't it?

It's the musical equivalent of a car-mechanic with oil on
his hands and a 2 day stubble on his face...but with
peppermint breath and satin sheets on the bed.

I was called out on how much guitar style I've stolen from Prince and Santana when my then-girlfriend heard the song and its solo and said: "That sounds like your playing!"

I was like: "Um, er, uh, boxed thanks, er..."


Love the guitar in that song. But, that really high vocal part (someone said it's Marva King?) gets too outta control sometimes. And, I'm always amazed at how Prince will obviously cut corners in his production: A couple of instances, the drum track has problems.

But, it's still a cool song!

I think those raw and "out of control" vocals are what it's about. TMBGITW-style vocals wouldn't fit with the lyrics or the guitar effect.

I think it's alright. Which is strange cuz I was really taken with almost all the NPGMC stuff on first listen. This one hasn't grabbed me at all yet. I could live without it.

It's probably the equivalent to you what Supercute is to me. Everyone RAVES about Supercute, but I just don't quite get it. confuse

Yes, but Supercute isn't my favorite. Probably not even top 5.

It's just the highest vocal that I think is horrible. The others are fine.

One of my favs. This and ONA are two song, I normally link together on a CD.

I love the vocals, arrangement and the lyrics "whoop ass"

However, it just my opinion. shrug
