This song touched me tonight...The Grand Progression.

touched...

The Grand Progression

Can it be in this seemingly short space of time
We've lived a year or 2 inside our minds?
Now I want 2 whisper in your ear
That U're OK...
If love were gold then I would be fixed 4 life
If I was a star, then baby, U would be the night
And I want 2 live my whole life through
Inside of U

CHORUS:
Darling it seems I have found the grand progression
Whenever I'm in your arms... sad

From July until June, every sun and every moon
Melting inside of your charms
If there really is a God up above
2 him I owe my life 4 U my love
Now ... darling, if I died yesterday...
It's OK

CHORUS {x2}
Can it be in this seemingly short space of time
We've lived a year or 2 inside our minds?
Now I want 2 spend my whole life through...Inside of U




music I just love this song clapping

Maybe it's a personal emotional attatchent I have to it. It reminds me of when I first met my girlfriend.

very serious sounding song from prince, despite the porno hinting "inside of U" lyric...

Always loved this one too!! Probably because it was on the very first boot I ever owned. Called "Lisa...Your Love Is So Hard". Had some great stuff (Good Man, Cookie Jar, Witness) some lame stuff (Qualified Kiss???!!!) and this song. Plus a close-up pic of Prince from the Controversy era..even though it came out in 1991!!! Ah, the days!!

is it just my bad luck, or do you folks also own a low sounding copy of this song. The quality is pretty lame for such a beautiful song.
Walking alone in the dark, I see nothing u see
I can be in a park, or flying in the…in the deep sea
I wish u’d hold my hand; then everything could b
There’s nothing strange, we’re not deranged
We only want everyday 2 b a Cosmic Day

Wasn't this supposed to be on Diamonds and Pearls? I love the melody, too, but it actually sounds like he may have written it for ATWIAD and replaced it with "Condition of The Heart."

Yeah, I guess a better quality version hasn't made it to the underground. Oh well, I would love to hear it in full re-masterdness.

The song was a Graffiti Bridge or Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic maybe even Batman era song.

But it just makes me think about my woman. And how much I appreciate her in my life. 'Tis beautiful. How he singing it like she's next to him and then he belts out the emotion to her...whew.

The song could more accurately be called a 'Lovesexy'-era track.
It was, in fact, recorded between 1987-1988.

Among all the tracks recorded in this same period were, interestingly enough,'Melody Cool'[Prince vocal] and the infamous 'Graffiti Bridge'.

My understanding is that this song was recorded and was originally intended to be used in Grafitti Bridge but was replaced with Still Would Stand All Time.
