To anyone who dislikes Graffiti Bridge, the song... ...try losing yourself in the sincerity of its intent. I think it should be considered one of the most beautiful songs Prince has ever written for precisely this reason and I find it a real shame that such honesty often makes people feel sick. Everybody wants to find Graffiti Bridge, y'all don't know!

no joke, i LIKE cheese, but this schlocky velveeta fest has always made my tummy hurt. No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

No, no, no, you've got it all wrong. Everybody wants to fuck the greedy bitch. Nobody gives a shit about finding Graffiti Bridge. The Normal Whores Club | |

dammit, if you're going to praise sincere but cheesy schlock on the GB album, at least pick Still Would Stand All Time.
The rare occassions that I listen to GB, I don't press skip on this track. As far as I can recall I've only played the version of Everybody Wants to Find Grafitti Bridge all the way through once. That was enough "Knowledge is preferable to ignorance. Better by far to embrace the hard truth than a reassuring faith. If we crave some cosmic purpose, then let us find ourselves a worthy goal" - Carl Sagan | |

That was enough like that 1 myself. i just find it 2 difficult 2 listen 2 GB...it's 'wonky'...perhaps he just woke up and decided 2 go in and record this 1 or somethin'...i am sure people like it...but not 4 me either )) not after all those classics  )) | |

Actually, besides the opening of the song, the rest isn't so bad.. nice build up, a bit of chorus and guitar going on. It's that turn off beginning "everybody wants to find graffiti bridge." He has a couple of songs that start badly but turn out to be much better, including one off Xpectation (I can't remember the name). Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop. | |

The song is pure cheese! I kind of secretly like it if I'm in the right mood though,  In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

That song is foul. Not as foul as TRC tracks, but foul. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

Oh, and on topic: The only part of that song that sinks into me is where it goes, "The love of a boy...the love of a girl...the love of a something something something world.."...
"Still Would Stand All Time" destroys it in terms of raw emotion, sincerity and heartfelt vocals... ...poo [This message was edited Thu May 29 13:11:26 PDT 2003 by wellbeyond] | |
