i was listening to "Eye No" just now and heard something on my headphones at the
1:00 minute mark that i hadn't noticed before, these last 28 years. so i did a little
searching and what do you know, on Princevault it says:


During the song's opening you can faintly hear "Near the bridge of graffiti there lives a band
whose soul belongs to god." Although the song Graffiti Bridge had already been recorded in July
1987, this is the first mention of Graffiti Bridge on a Prince release.





for 28 years i've been listening to this album, and never have i heard that before until tonight.


*mind blown*

Nice find

will have to check that out

I never knew about that.Gonna listen to "Eye No" on headphones now

All these years, I though the was saying 'this soul belongs to God.'

I can hear it more distinctly now... near the bridge of graffiti...right at the 59 second mark.

Hell, I've been listening to the same album for 28 years and haven't heard that.

me too. 28 years, not 18 how could i be mistaken about that, it was the first
album i ever bought, by anyone

another reason a remaster would do justice for the ears

Oh I figured that's what you meant...I had to do some write-down math to make sure I was right

thinking it was 28.

There's a horn that's panned far to the left on either Eye No or Alphabet St. that runs throughout the song that I didn't notice for over a year. Makes me wonder all the little things I'm missing in his songs. Probably a fuckload.

listening in headphones reveals lots of surprises, especially on 80s-era tracks. Absolutely love Eye No and all the songs about positivity.. music and hope elevate one another

You guys freak me out. Seriously.

A sad reminder that the Bridge Of Graffitis in no more...
