not what i said....

Having listened to it a few times: Music is strong. First minute or so is strongest. Prince sounds great. Hannah & Prince sound good on chorus, but when Hannah takes lead verse duty the song sort of falls a part. Though it picks up again from the 3:30 mark and I like the vocal harmony.

It's not a bad song. I was sort of hoping it would go apeshit after Prince's verse, but it's a nice pop-rock track. One of 3rdeyegirl's best.

It sucks.


There's NOTHING good about it.

It really sucks.

"What If" -- if it is the Nordeman song -- is a great jam with deep lyrics

.

No on both counts.

Prince really just has absolutely no taste anymore.

Really enjoying it. Excellent guitar work and I like them dueting. This is going to get major spins in the car tomorrow.

More drivel.

Good music. Good production. Good performance. 3rdEyeGirl do have a definite 'sound'. Shit lyrics. I remain a proud simple-minded banished one.

Nice song,

"What if you're wrong?" Promoting Christianity by use of fear is the oldest trick in the book. Also, this song is corny as fuck, trying to be deep. Thumbs down.

It's also an endless circle--you can say it to someone of any faith (or none) about any faith (or none). Religious proposition A might be right... but I believe B, and it might be the right one, and then what about poor you who believe in A. Boom! I DON"T win, no matter how clever I think I'm being. It's a dumb form of argument, but I can't believe how many times I've heard people spout it as if they've just said the most brilliant thing ever.

.

So you're making a bet on a horse--and if it comes in, you win. But what if the other horse comes in? (and what if there's no actual race anyway?)

.

Personally, I've got to say I think "One of Us" is tons better--at least in part because the speaker there doesn't come from a position of KNOWING--and the speaker in this song is sure they're right, and is only playing at the What If. You're damned if you don't agree, and there isn't the slightest possibility that they've chosen the wrong set of things to believe.

.

I'd actually imagined it would sound heavier than it did. I thought I knew where a 3rdEyeGirl version would go, and it didn't, quite. It was okay--as I've said elsewhere, I miss the searching aspect in Prince's religious songs for the last couple of decades, so I've gotten used to the aesthetically-boring (and personally nonresonant) quality of the lyrics. But this fits in with what he does with a religious song now, and it sounded decent. I like Hannah better as a supporting voice (much as I did Lisa and Wendy, honestly), so I probably would have preferred Prince lead throughout, but ... it was okay.

I dig the new joint.

It's a cover, it's a Christian Rock song, and Hannah Ford singing. 3x thumbs down from me. Oh and it's really not that interesting musically.

Pretty good at the beginning to the middle of the song...Hannah is the weakest link on this one. Prince starts to break out a little of the falsetto. Then, rethinks it, using the lower registers of his voice for the most part. Guitar also is good to the middle of the song and then falls off in terms of interesting licks. Prince always does find a way to make the guitar sound different on his songs.

Pretty intense, how the song starts, though.

P does make it interesting...

nice track!!

Yep! Funny that the station has not played a single Prince song since. It's like they were forced to do it or something. And they probably never played him before today. I wanted to like it though. There is always hope for Prince.

Brilliant,

what an amazing cover song by Prince..!!



What If. (by: Nichole Nordeman)

What if you're right?
He was just another nice guy.
What if you're right?

What if it's true?
They say the truth will only make a fool of you.
What if that's true?

What if He takes His place in history with all the prophets and the kings
who taught us love and came in peace, but then the story ends?

What then?

But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you've never dreamed of hoping for?

What if you jump?
Just close your eyes.
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

What if you dig way down deeper
than your simple-minded friends?
What if you dig?

What if you find a hundred thousand more unanswered questions down inside?

That's all you find?

What if you pick apart the logic and begin to poke the holes?
What if the crown of thorns is no more than folklore that must be told
and re-told, and re-told?

But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you've never dreamed of hoping for?

What if you jump?
Just close your eyes.
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by suprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

'Cuz you've been running as fast as you can.
You've been looking for a place you land for so long.

But what if you're wrong?

What if you jump?
Just close your eyes.
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by suprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

Well shit, they played like 30 tracks by one man in one day, I think their audience might need a bit of a break.

Nice instrumental. The lyrics are like watching an interview with Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens on Fox News...

's vocals is OUTSTANDING as usual. It amazes me, how he could listen to it,on the radio, & recreate this "MasterPiece" on a whim with 3RDEYEGIRL. They've created their own unique sound now. They've become the hottest band on tour....All because plucked them from U-tube..

Excellent post, and I agree with all of it. The idea that a person would present their faith as the only correct, logical choice, when "faith," by definition, requires the absence of logic, is just absolutely ludicrous to me.
