Prince (album) Ballads Appreciation Can we talk/appreciate these beautiful songs? . When We're Dancing Close & Slow With You Still Waiting It's Gonna Be Lonely . For most of my years as a Prince fan I've criminally overlooked these songs as I always felt they interrupted the flow of the record. But wow - these songs are so beautifully and tenderly crafted! . It's Gonna Be Lonely is probably my favorite of the bunch with WWDC&S and With You following behind. Let's talk about these songs and how you felt when you first heard them! |

It's Gonna Be Lonely is fantastic and one of my favourite Prince Ballads, such a great vocal arrangement. When we're Dancing Close and Slow has a great slightly psychedelic vibe to that I love. However I think With You is the weakest song on the album. It's just a bit too sweet for my taste. Something BIG Is Coming. |

With You is a soul-stirring ballad that showcases Prince's profound connection to his music and his ability to convey raw emotion through his voice. The simplicity of the melody allows the sincerity of Prince's feelings to shine through, making it a standout track on the album. | |

it's another fake profile "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves. And wiser people so full of doubts" (Bertrand Russell 1872-1972) |

I always thought Its Gonna Be Lonely was Prince's first great classic slow joint, and terribly underrated and somewhat overlooked | |

it's an absolute great track. Yes he was super young, come to think of it. In 2013, he played it one more time live at the Montruex Jazz festival (7-15-2013 to be precise) It sounded completely different. Even his singing was completely different, as if it was a new song. I think it was one of the last times he played it live. "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves.

"Still Waiting" is the song that turned my mother into a Prince fan.She was telling us about this amazing song she had heard,but didn't know who the artist was.The next thing I knew,I come home from school and she's got the Prince album and she's playing "Still Waiting" over and over and over,lol. | |
