sounds like it was meant 4 radio.
it would have been huge had it been released. also sounds like it belongs in the end credits of a cheesy 80s film. even more reason why i love it  ***************************************************************************************

Prince: Moonbeam Levels
Yesterday I tried 2 write a novel But I didn't know where 2 begin So I laid down in the grass tryin' 2 feel the world turn Boy loses girl in a rain storm, nuclear World War III All that's left is pain and sorrow As far as he's concerned He says, please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me I'm lookin' 4 a better place 2 die Maybe he's lookin' 4 a different world Maybe he's lookin' 4 a brand new high Maybe he would like a nice condo overlookin' the rings of Saturn Maybe he wants affection instead of a plastic life Maybe he doesn't know what he wants at all He says, please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me I'm lookin' 4 a better place 2 die A newborn child knows nothing of destruction Nothing of love and hate What happens in between is a mystery Because we don't give a damn about his fate He said he'll never keep diaries 2 learn from his mistakes Instead he'll just repeat all the good things that he's done Fight 4 perfect love until it's perfect love he makes When he's happy then his battle will be won He says, please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me Please send all your moonbeam levels 2 me I'm lookin' 4 a better place 2 die | |

A true lost classic. I'd love to hear it without the production - just him and the piano. It's freely available on Kazaa. | |

Great lyrics, too. Can't figure out what the chorus means, though. | |

"Moonbeam Levels" is a fantastic song, one that I can listen to over and over again (and do on many occasions).  RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

This song is beautiful.
Much better than "Free" IMHO. The chorus is just gorgeous, especially toward the end when he's singing deep in the background: "Send 'em to me," etc. Yeah! Ooh! Here I go again, fallin' in love all over
Ooh! You Psycho NeverHands, you just pray you don't get burned | |

I have only heard the song once. Need to listen again.
I love the Free song. | |

I think the notion of ~Moonbeam Levels~ refers to that of a picture i once saw of Prince, circa 1982. He is standing by a window with the blinds partially open...there is a full moon out and it's dark inside the room. You see rays of light come through the window blinds, creating a sort of moonbeam levels of light shine into this room. It could also be a refrence to god and his power. "Waiting to be banned" | |
