U Better Dance The Dance Electric!

Found it on my Ipod! What a revelation! Dance until the end of time... Best song ever when Prince sings it!!!

"We..love...all...enemies."

The Dance Electric

Good morning children
Take a look out your window
Our world is falling
It's almost time 2 go

(Dance)

Dance the Dance Electric
The rhythm is love and love is blind
Love your enemies
There isn't much time, there isn't much time

Look - our world is falling
A rhythm-less house of blinded prophecy
Hear our Master calling
This isn't what He wanted us 2 be

We got 2 dance the Dance Electric
Listen 2 the rhythm of your soul
Come on and dance the Dance Electric
We better love each other, it's almost time 2 go

Don't - it don't make U happy
2 give another someone your own smile
Dance the dance electric
Never mind your hatred, try a brand new style

Dance the Dance Electric
Listen 2 the rhythm of your soul
U got 2 dance the Dance Electric
We better love each other, it's almost time 2 go

We... love... all... enemies

Look - U're livin' in Babylon
Makin', but not feelin' love at all
When your youth is gone, when it comes 2 dawn
A light of truth will shine and U will fall

That's why U got 2 dance the Dance Electric
Listen 2 the rhythm of your soul
U got 2 dance the Dance Electric
We better love each other, it's almost time 2 go

See the light inside of us
U're stuck in living, livin' life as bad
Whatever U do, don't U let your life go without my love
It's the only life that U will ever have

Why don't U (dance) dance the Dance Electric?
Listen 2 the rhythm of your soul
Why don't U dance the Dance Electric?
We better love each other, it's almost time 2 go (almost time 2)

Dance the Dance Electric
Listen 2 the rhythm of your soul
Come on and dance the Dance Electric
We better love each other, it's almost time 2 go

These lyrics are a prime example of what Donny English says about Prince being a tough guy.
These lyrics do not sugarcoat what is happening in the world. But however, he is showing us we can have fun regardless of what is happening.

Giving Andre The Dance electric showed how much he loved Andre and his mother.Because if it was the first single off ATWIAD it would have definitely been more of a hit than Andre's. The long version with The Revolution is crazy! what a way to say I write hits like it ain't nothing.:)Take a look out your window...

Perhaps his greatest piece....
Beautiful, deep, purple, funky and uplifting .
This song to me sums up his life and what he was .

A deeply intense experience that pulls his energy through the speakers to your soul .

The song sounds like a heart pounding and blood rushing through veins... Urgent and immediate. It sounds like LIFE.

Yep. The guitar solo literally sounds like an electric discharge. Amazing how the music embodies what the song is about.

I can't listen to Andre's version after hearing the full version with Prince on vox, respect to Andre but Prince just takes it to another level. The song is groovy, catchy, funky, epic, really just the perfect combination of all the elements that made us love Prince. Thankfully we have the full length version at decent quality however I do hope that we get an official fully mastered and studio quality version at some point, it is too good not to release!

From the beginning opening up with that loud snare hit, the song lets you know it is about to be SERIOUS. I'm glad he performed it live in the last several years because it is a serious jam. For extra funk, check out that 10 minute rehearsal instrumental he put out a couple years ago.

Someone needs to do a remix of TDE and Mountains since they both share the same beat.

Prince's version with the Revolution is S-I-C-K.

I don't argue with people about my opinions. Scram. I said what I said.

Prince's version of "The Dance Electric" and the extended version of "Computer Blue" are some of the most charged songs he ever did. The energy of these recordings is incredible, full of life.
