Fathers song release

I was really dissapointed with the release of fathers song on the purple rain deluxe edition. I thought it was going to be a really enhanced version of the performace from the film but its so different I just dont think its as good anyone else feel the same?

I'm just like everybody else I need love.....and water.

Not at all. I love every second of it. Hopefully we will get the version from the film at some point, but the one in PR Deluxe is absolutely stunning.

A standout track and one of the highlights of PR Deluxe.

I love it. The more the merrier.

I always have a feeling there are some lyrics to that one.

I think it's lovely. It's more than I thought it would be, but I'm glad it's not some blown-out tune like other stuff from that period (not that those are bad things). It's a tender song, and was treated well in production.

OMG I love this song! It is beautiful.

I especially love the laugh at the beginning.

I just think the phrasing isnt as good as the film version imo.

It's good but not great imo and I don't listen to it that often. I also hope we get the film version at some point.

I'm with you on this one. Although its nice to have the original recording, the beautiful chord changes he made to it for the film edit made it more interesting and gave it a needed bridge that the original lacks. I wish he would have played it live in the years after Purple Rain but he never did as far as i know.
