"Revelation" HNR PH 2 - can't stop listening. This is one of those delishous ballads that at first I thought was boring but something caught my ear so I listened again. Now I wake up with it on my mind.
Double meanings galore and lots of sensuality. So rich - and those vocals! Questions: Who plays guitar on this? Is Prince playing any instrument? Can't find it on cd. When was this written? Any guesses or ideas? Was it in the vault for a while?? [Edited 6/26/16 9:33am] | |

This is not music, this is a trip
No, it's not a drug, it's something more hip Don't need no reefer, don't need cocaine Purple music does the same to my brain | |

Thank you. Ok, this might sound like a stupid question to some of you but I'm still learning so I'm going to ask anyway: It says Prince played "all instruments except where noted...", so if others are playing drums, keyboard, horns and bass guitar, then what's left other than lead guitar? Is that probably all he played on this tune? | |

That's probably what it means! That's the best information we have (until someone has a better source.) "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

The bass guitar would just be deep, underlying notes, right? And the screaming guitar would be Prince? | |

Fantastic song and yes, certainly when he says 'Can I play with you now?' it sounds like classic Prince on guitar to me | |

Yeah, the bass is the deep thump sound. Anything thing screaming would be Prince. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Wonderful Thanks! I will :) I'm beginning to think this song was written for either of 2 females... | |

Yes, find the long version. It's truly hypnotizing- the perfect song to slow dance with your beloved and get lost in the moment. | |

Prince and Marcus played live over the P.A. on this version "You can skate around the issue if you like,
But who's gonna get you high in the middle of the night?" |

One of the greatest songs he ever recorded. I Love U, But I Don't Trust U Anymore... |

Wonderful song, but you better play it loud at night, the effect is greater and more beautiful. | |

I just don't get the love for this...I try...but just...Bleh... | |

I don't get it much either. It's nice enough. If prince performed emersion performed by Bria I think that'd be the better jam. Somewhere here on earth is better.  small circles, big wheels!
I've got a pretty firm grip on the obvious! |

I was at the show that night. I would love to have a soundboard quality recording of that. I'm still glad to have the audience recording, though. Beautiful song! TRUE BLUE |
