dont like go at all. Empty Room is one of my alltime favs of all of his stuff!! It needs an album and 12" extended version!!

go is a true great .. empty room never did nothin for me

Empty Room.

Maybe the best unreleased Prince song. Ever.

Empty Room at Montreux.

Yes.

its up there isn't it? it's so atmospheric and lonely feeling. his singing totally conveys the theme of the song.

"found a strand, of your hair, by the bathroom window", one of his most simple yet beautiful lyrics.

I agree, except Empty Room was released C-Note.

I don't understand the comparision though, there ain't no comparing Empty Room and Go. Nonsense.

i'm concerned with the studio version, i'm not overly keen on the c-note version by comparison.

Empty Room by a mile. or several.

was never all that impressed with Go. even when it was recently uncovered complete and in better quality. just really don't get all the excitement about it.

i'd go with go personally. not quite as repetitive as empty room (which is a fine tune unto itself as well ). i like the version from the video or whatever and the live one from the "rock" show at the conga room a while back in l.a. with sonny t. and michael b. the guitar part is sick . go is my shit though . "why you wanna take your love...and give it to another man..."

Empty Room from 94. Searing solo at the end, blows away the other versions imo.

'85

outside of them being 2 Susannah inspired songs, why the comparison

Splash vs Go have similar feels

Empty Room vs _____

I would love to hear the 1985 rehearsal of Go in France, heard Tempation live and I dont understand why it was never performed again, they rocked it live

Planet Earth, maybe?

Splash is a better version of the sound of Go.

but completely opposite in lyrical meaning.

But I think Empty Room is more to my liking.

I love the almost laid back, reggaeish feel of Go, but Empty room is superb, the vocals and the whole performance. I mean this song is high emotion. So it wins here. Still take up all these Susannah inspired songs and you have his strongest and most heartfelt work. He covers her with every emotion and desire, from lust to anger.

I really think Big Tall Wall is in this league too (I know thats definitely about Susannah) and when he moved her into the converted Silo apartments to keep an eye on her. The lyrics say everything.

"I'm gonna build a big tall wall, stone circle so you can't get out, True lovin is what its all about" Lovin my ass, thats called control.

The songs have a lot in common, both heard break songs from the same heart breaker, both originally from 1985, both unreleased and both great songs. I think the op makes it clear why the comparison is made. Anyhow for me Go is the more interesting composition. I prefer Go.

I think the op updated it, the original post wasn't clear

lol you just described the largest catalogue of Prince's

1.) heart break songs from the same heart breaker

2.) originally from 1985

3.) unreleased

4.) great songs

lol

I prefer Go as well

I would definitely buy that, it would Prince's best album ever. He was really crazily obsessed about Susannah. She must have blown his mind and his brains.

I have never heard Go but if people are right it kinda sounds like Splash (which I DO like a LOT) I would prefer Empty Room...which is one of my all time fave songs from anyone.

Empty Room

Empty room. But I like go.
