The Making Of…The Waterboys’ The Whole Of The Moon

it certainly captures Princes career and willingness to do shit and not talk about it; i know he starts and stops projects yet he is always doign something

Mike Scott, who wrote "Whole Of The Moon", tweeted about the concert stream right after it was shared by @Prince3EG!

Popping shuffle funk mode...LOL

The Making Of…The Waterboys’ The Whole Of The Moon

“The Whole Of The Moon” is a synth-heavy sonic tribute to Prince, its guitars largely buried deep in the mix. Bowie, The Beatles and crashing brass fanfares are there too, matching Scott’s lyric about reaching “too far, too high”.

Interesting!

very pleasing concert

THAT WHOLE OF THE MOON COVER......LAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Superb! Brilliant concert.

I love that he sings it from the opposite point of view to the original. As the song is inspired by him, it's just perfect.

Yeah, it's pretty good. Nice that there's no female guest vocalist screaming over any track and ruining it. Only downer for me was Dreamer going on for about ten minutes too long, I got quite bored by that.

The Making Of…The Waterboys’ The Whole Of The Moon

Thanks! I don't actually know the Waterboys' music very well, but I love World Party. If Mike Scott being stingy with his recognition of other people's contributions is what it took to get Karl Wallinger to do his own thing, then I'm glad Scott was so difficult to work with.

Where's all the 3Rd Eye Girl disses? Yea, quiet now.

I used to live on Plymath? yea.

CBS and bs.

He may actually make a decent guitar playa.

Prince ruined "Whole of the moon" with his version.. At least capture the build up with the arrangement of the orginal version. Leave the synths in & do it some justice.. it was a let down for me.

Mike Scott, one the creators of the song, has been raving about it. But it's good to have balanced opinions on boards like this, no right or wrong.

can someone help with the lyric changes to the 2nd verse of chaos and disorder?

i am a mega fan who has been really disappointed with his comments about gay people in the last 5-10 years...

im always hoping for a ray of light that he changes his tune..... but of course, i can barely decipher these lyric changes...

here is what i heard:

hes gay, used to means he's happy

nowadays, happy and you're proud

[???], mess with that brother [?]

in some states, it just wasn't allowed

help!

Thanks! It's awesome and I really like "The Whole of the Moon".

Plus, that 10 minutes of noodling by Prince during "Dreamer" is absolutely classic 80's Prince. It sounds like an outtake from "Purple Music" or "Intimate Moments". Outstanding!
