Reminds me off "The Last December" combined with "In A Large Room With No Light".

.

My first listen I wasn't blown away, yet I knew I had to listen to the whole song just to catch all the changes. I love the message and it has really grown on me. It truly is one of his most recent strokes of genius!

Could it be the first election of Obama that he refers to ("good news", "they gave the world back to u and me
the faces on the mountains") in parts?

Excellent song anyway

Just behind Groovy Potential, this is my favorite cut off the album. Reading the lyrics helps me comprehend the a little better. Any corrections are encouraged and welcomed. Black Muse can I talk to you what I got to share is mighty good news a brand new day is dawning U and me know what to do so much work to do Black Muse we've been so abused Our mothers were good looking and our fathers were too if they don't stay together we can walk no better in these shoes Black Muse long ago 2 men held one of us down another took a whippin' Made a terrible sound a baby watch her father falling down to the ground that was you...and me. Black Muse can I share with you just came this morning and it's mighty good news they tipped the hour glass now everything is past it's true... they gave the world back to u and me the faces on the mountains and the dirty sea a trillion dollar bill and no currency still will we believe Black Muse we gon' make it thru surly people that created rhythm and blues rock & roll and jazz so u know we're built to last it's cooool, it's cooool, it's cooool black muse a new day is dawning black muuuse a new day is dawning black muuuse now that I got your attention I think its 'bout time I mention the reason why i wrote this song like a UFO sighting from my heart I am writing the next close encounter well, tell me how long will it be on land or near the water will it produce the star of a black moon daughter or a pillow covered with all our tears one thousand light years away from here one thousand light years from here no yesterday or tomorrow no better remedy for sorrow then why the fifth held forever will make you cry I don't know why one thousand light years from here one thousand light years from here two unbroken circles joined together make a butterfly little darling don't u wanna try there ain't nothing better than looking for me and seeing u in the mirror one thousand light years away from here why do we always seem so far away when u know that I really wanna be with u night and day running out of ways to say how so I think I'll just close for now. Anyone care to help me out with this stuff...anywhere? Love how he seemingly goes a bit off the deep end near the end....nice and crazy...I like it. Very uplifting... Makes me feel good about the future. Sure did have a lot to say here... [Edited 12/14/15 14:30pm] [Edited 12/14/15 14:35pm]

Best song on the album for me. I listen to it everyday at least once.

That said, my girlfriend hated it. I kinda use her opinion to gauge how non-die hard fans would react to new Prince material. She liked "Ain't Gonna Miss U When Ur Gone", but hated "Stare" (which I love). We recently took a road trip and listened to the first two Time albums, which she liked alot (except for a few tracks that overstayed their welcome and were a bit too repetitive).

I also love Groovy Potential, but considering that I already played it to death by about 800 times, I have to skip past it for the forseable future.
