this was the best post to use for a sticky about this song? really? falloff

seriously tho, i love the tune. it sounds good. stripped down, minimalist,

yet still interesting all the way through. it's already stuck in my head for

the best part of the day.

here's to hoping he'll release more of these outtakes or whatever it is,

in the near future.

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Good track, really enjoyed the synth line. Like "Act of God," he sounds upset or angry about something. Its not simply him going by the motions and talking about partying or make whopee or God or whatever. When he's emotionally engaged like this, I think like any other artist it brings something out and sometimes for the better.

If he actually still did singles with flip sides (or now just two tracks or more), this would be a good "B" track. Not an insult, its a good B track.

It's a solid, fresh and funky track. However, I find Shelby J's rap unnecessary and instrusive. Then again, I find Shelby unnecessary and instrusive overall.

Yes I agree with it being a good B track, Same page different book wouldn't do good on an album cuz the song is a bit weak but not that bad. I actually think the rap is the best part of this song

I've noticed that a part of this song sounds VERY like the tune of '100MPH' by Mazarati.

The bit at 2:39 that starts "Relations Chapter 3 says..." Is very like the chorus for '100MPH' (also written by Prince) that goes "100 Miles Per hour baby, that's what it's all about. You need a lover that will slow you down, somebody that will make you shout"

Ya dig?

Good one, KeithyT.

I must say, this new song is giving me an entirely enhanced and more enjoyable appreciation of the Slaughterhouse album. I am actually beginning to get inside all those grooves on the album in a way that wasn't possible before.

love,

Spirit

Same Page Different Book

Check it, 1, 2.

I hitched a train
'tween here and St. Paul
Had no idea
Had 2 sleep in a pig stall
Once I got home
The dirt that covered me
Nothing like the disappointment
That u would never c

Same page
But a different book
So much more in common
If u'd only look
There's only one God
Whatever name he took
Only matters when it comes 2 war
What r we, what r we, what r we fighting 4

Breathe. Let it...breathe.

New kids on the block
Try 2 make they bed
Here come another rock
Upside they head
There go the missiles
Headed 4 the 'hood
Drink another car bomb
Did nobody no good

We're on the same page
But a different book
So much more in common
If u'd only look
There's only one God
Whatever name he took
Only matters when it comes 2 war
What r we, what r we, what r we fighting 4

Alright, listen y'all. We're 'bout 2 let this thing just groove...move.

Shelby J rap:

Chapter, verse
Which came first
Thinkin' 2 slow
While they snatch ur purse
Faith, law, good deeds
Practicing what u preach
Between u and me
TV ain't reality
That's right, I said it
It's said
Buy this, cop that
All up in yo' head
24 hour news
That ain't right
Them suckas got u daydreamin' at midnight

Galatians chapter 3 says
The law was as good as dead
Having faith in the life, death, and resurrection
Of the second Adam instead
Would bring r souls salvation
If there's works in the faith we choose
But if u're all alone
Throwing stones
Who do u think's gonna lose
Who u think's gonna lose

Same page
But a different book
So much more in common
If u'd only look
One God
Whatever name he took
Only matters when it comes 2 war
What r we, what r we, what r we fighting 4

Same page
Different book
Same page
Different book
Same page
Different book
Only matters when it comes 2 war
What r we, what r we, what r we fighting 4

Same page
Different book
Watch out 4 the sinister minister
They out there, y'all

Same page
Different book
Better off chillin' 'til the world ends
What r we, what r we, what r we fightin 4

Same page Different Book" is a teacher/student lesson learned in a funked out lyrically metaphoric "MasterPiece"....Plus Shelby's funky rap adds spice & brings it up ten notches..

eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince

Cool track, nothing earthshaking imo.

Part of the groove and the horn bursts remind me of Mad Sex from New Power Soul - which I liked.

Would sound ok as an album track smile

It was just played on national Swedish radio channel P3!

My jaw dropped... wink

The host presented it to her co-hosts like a song surfaced on the net "supposedly from a legend".

Afterwards the co-hosts rightly guessed it was Prince and was quite unimpressed - "disappointed that the founder of modern funk releases this type of formula A funk".

Now a listener guessed it is Terence Trent D'Arby biggrin

I am loving this song..."Same Page Different Book".

It's a funky little jam and although possibly simplistic in sound it glows in it's arrangement with a good amount of interesting sounds, guitar, bass/drums and vocals dancing around supporting the lead vocals and lyrics. For me it has the flavors, not exact copy, but flavors in tone and lyrics with great songs like "The Word", "Walk Don't Walk" and "Props 'N Pounds".

I am super excited for new PRINCE music this year! 2013 = PRINCE!

Could this possible be another new single? But it's a bit lame 4 single choice but since its played on radio stations its a possibility. I read somewhere it was played on the radio in some country

I love this song.

Takes guts to sing about Palestina and Israel.

First couplet seems to be about the interview for both French & English newspaper, and the upheaval that caused. My guess this song is his response and explanation.

I tried. I really, really did. I've been told I'm too negative of Prince's new material but no, I can't dig it. Maybe I'm just a simple man but I can't get past the convoluted preachy lyrics. I really can't. I don't understand him anymore. Maybe some of y'all do or act like you do but is this really what you want to hear Prince sing about? The Book of Galations? He might was well become a Christian singer as Brother Prince. What happened to songs about love, hope, devotion, sex, etc.? The only think I found slightly interesting was his little throwback to "100 MPH". Other than that: FAIL. Sorry, Prince. I still love ya man.
