I know it is on a shite album but I just can't help thinking I Love You But I Don't Trust You Anymore is more beautiful than Sometimes It Snows or The Beautiful Ones. I just can't take it when I hear it!

It kills me live, on record it doesn't have the same effect...

I love the album version and the one from the ONA show from Chicago. My ovaries are shaking just thinking about it.

I don't think more beautiful than the other songs you mentioned, but it's definetely a very nice beautiful song also, I agree...

I don't know about the MOST beautiful, but it is vocally stunning and lyrically just brutally honest. Those things make for a damn good song.

Hard to believe no one thought of this
concept before him.

IS IT really possible to LOVE someone
and NOT trust them?

Wouldn't u lose the love after u found out u couldn't trust them?

I can see how it's possible to love somebody even though you can't trust them, I mean, love them but know you can't be with them.

I know... i really luv it when Prince shakes hands with irony... its a tried & trued concept.

He represented the story/meaning of the lyrix so perfectly thru the songs arrangement. It has a vacuous aura... there r so little instruments backing Prince that its hard 4 1 not 2 sense a depth of loneliness while listening 2 it str8 thru! So I think its very beautiful but tragic-like


loved but not trusted edit

That's cool how you got meaning out of the arrangement of the song. I hadn't listened to it that way before. The lyrics are so open, almost too much. I never really got past the lyrics to hear how empty the music is.

Of course it is. Ask some folks who've been cheated on, try some married women...



You might fall out of love w/ them but you'll (most likely) still love them (if you ever truly did)...

This is what I think too. Love is probably one of the only truly enduring things in this world. It doesn't just go away even when you want it to.

Hell if we could control love, people wouldn't bug out over it so much. We can't just turn it off, trust or no trust.

CalhounSq said:

Chances are they did far more worse
than JUST cheat...

I think you can understand what the song is about from the arrangements a lot of the times, try Jack U Off or God... hehe

Cheating is the example I'm using, but you can apply it to any situation. Love doesn't shut off due to circumstances...

Calhoun...III think I could change your mind INSTANTLY...but I don't stoop to such levels of some people.

I dont think its more beautiful than "The beautiful ones" but its a nice song!!

I do love this song and it is definitely way up there

on my list, although I could compare it to

Sometimes it Snows..., with Sometimes it Snows coming in a

few notches higher, The Beautiful Ones is one song in a

category of its own. Meaning that the beauty of it I just

cant seem to compare to anything else if I tried! It is

hard to compare many of Princes songs to one another IMHO!
