Was curious is anyone had the lyrics to this one?

Reflection

2 7's 2gether, like time indefinite
Try 2 catch the glass before it falls
Without a frown, can U turn up the stereo?
I wanna play U this old song, it's about love, can I do that?

Did we remember 2 water the plants 2day?
I forgot 2 look up at the moon because
I was 2 busy, said I was 2 busy
I was 2 busy looking at U babe

Still it's nice 2 know
that if bodies wear out we can get another
What does that one thing have 2 do with the other one?
I don't know, I was just thinking bout my... mother

U know what, turn the stereo back down
Ain't nothing worse than an old worn out love song
Tell me, do U like my hair this way?
Remember all the way back in the day
When we would compare
whose afro was the roundest?

Mirrored tiles above the bed
Fishing nets and posters all over the walls
Sometimes I just wanna go sit out on the stoop
And play my guitar, just watch all the cars go by
.

is that Prince being in a relective mood?

"Still it's nice 2 know
that if bodies wear out we can get another
What does that one thing have 2 do with the other one?
I don't know, I was just thinking bout my... mother "


can someone explain this part?

i love this tune
i feel it ends quite abruplty tho
another verse would be kewl.

I think so. When he talks about how he and his friends used to compare whose afro was the roundest and about fishnets and posters on the wall, it almost sounds like he's thinking back on years gone by.

When Prince sings this song, his voice actually sounds kind of sad.

prince says something like "ever listened to a sterio" while kidding around at the start of a song on the live vegas dvd, sorry can't remember exactly what song was starting when he said it.

anyway it was something about a sterio. Not Strange Rsp either. or Whole L Love.

Been a couple days since i watched it. I'll look again.

He always seems to put out hints of what is to come next during his concerts.

Yeah, thats why I was curious about the "Bodies get another, and my mother" line


Wanna know the significance of that one...

but yes, he does kindof seem sad/ or a "Wanna relive that moment" in this song.

I think he's just referring to his belief that when we die, as his mother did, we get new bodies. I'm not an expert on this, but I think in his religious beliefs, when the world ends, there will be a new Earth and the people in heaven will get new perfect bodies. That's how I take that reference--that he's sad his mother died, but his faith offers him some solace.

Elements of this song seem very similar musically to "In This Bed Eye Scream" (to me anyway), which adds another layer of meaning to the whole song. I like this song a lot; it does always put me in a reflective mood when I listen to it, which I guess is exactly what it should do.

Good observation Efan.

This song is really wonderful, I think its the best thing out of this year by him. This one song. I dig the acoustic sound, the flute (Could be his keyboard) and vocals..
