It's better than the latter, if you ask me.

Walking alone in the dark, I see nothing u see
I can be in a park, or flying in the…in the deep sea

Me either, it's super lame that we can't just be sharing this stuff on here.

It's a really cool song. Quirky and funky.

It reminds me of It's A Wonderful Day.

I enjoy this song. I'm still trying to find a mix I can put it in. It's midtempo so it can go either way. Has a lot of Prince quirks I like.

I find it pretty damn weak. The quality of the outtakes took a serious dive around that time. Maybe it's just because he switched gears (literally, as in the equipment he was using) and couldn't rely 100% on the stuff he could do well previously. I understand there was a need to move on and try out new things, of course.

This isn't recently leaked. It's been out there, you just have to search for it. Off the top of my head I don't recall which boot it's located on, maybe someone else can. But still, it's out there to get and no need to speak as though only the chosen few have this.

It first appeared on the "Perfect Unreleased Prince" set in 2012 that was said to have been the reason for the "cancellation" of the "Connections" release. Then, Eye Records put it on their "Blast From The Past" release soon after.

Thank you. Yes, I was thinking Perfect Unreleased but wasn't sure.

I love the whole (can't remember all of it) "sharingly caringly... staring thee straight in the violin" bit. It's just good fun.
