button the first 20 seconds, the song gets better with every passing minute. I never cared too much for it and always skipped it until I was on the loo once with Sign on and I had no hope of skipping, since I was just in the middle of... well, I don't have to draw a picture here, do I. But whilst the soft seven-layer sheets whiped my toosh I said to myself "Hey bugger me, this song is in fact kinda cool". So you had your hand on your ass... You said, "Hey, bugger me"... So... The question on everybody's mind is... Didja? i actually laughed out loud at these posts! hahah but seriously did you? | |

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this song. It's one of Prince's best love songs, IMO. His performance in the SOTT movie was great too. Reminded me of one of those classic soul performances. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Personally, I skip past: "It"; "U Got The Look" and "The Cross". I agree. It's a very sexy song; would much rather listen to that than some others on the album. A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise. | |

It's a good song. I think sometimes Prince tries to prove he can make generic music, then he gets freaky again. The live version really showcases his voice. | |

I didn't particularly like it back when the lbum came out - just another ballad. But now I really like it. Nay, I LOVE it! I think it's just a really deloverly nice song.    FREE THE 29 MAY 1993 COME CONFIGURATION!

just have to add my bote for this soneg - I love it too. Always skip U Got The Look, easily probably in my top 10 or never listen to songs. In the distance a light shines and I know it is mine. Someday I will touch it because it calls me. It says cross the line, cross the line. I know everything is not always what it seems, so I pinch myself daily just in case it's a dream | |

One of my more favourite slowys. Stone me, but I hate Adore, that's the one I skip. | |

A friend of mine (who has never been a fan really) once said that the only thing that saves the song are the horns.
I guess I agree with him. The melody line is weak and the climax of the song is built too much with the screaming, instead with some well written musical development (vide: Raspberry Beret - so simple yet so effective!) ______________

Slow Love is beautiful. It's probably one of his ten best ballads. It used to be in my top five Prince songs ever. Why?
Prince never sounded more retro (at least in the 80s). We had never heard his take on Philly soul/Motown which may not be the best way to describe it, but that's what comes to my mind. The string arrangement and vocal harmonies are gorgeous. His own vocal performance is also uniquely beautiful. I've never heard him sing quite like that since. The added touches of Eric Leeds' saxophone are nice too. The melody is somewhat simple, but effective and charming. I don't understand the criticism or the reasoning for that criticism behind this song. Sign of the Times would be a lesser album without it. | |

It's hard to explain why you love one song and hate another .. but this one is bad! Indeed ... before SOTT I adored everything the man has done. This one made me realise he isn't the god of music. And a few years later I realised it's possible to spoil it all. Sounds like Prince tries to prove that he can do this too. Later he tries to prove he can play raggea, rock or even symphonic rock ... All those attempts suck hard. I wish he stayed with the Funk / Rock / Soul combination. Sheesh..well if this is bad what do u call most of the inane 90's material Slow Love bad? are u sure? A fantastic song live and on vinyl. Luminous beings are we...not this crude matter.
Is this 2morrow or just the END of time? The Funk will always b with u "I've got a face, not just my race, Bang Bang I've got you babe!" | |

Anxiety said: This is definitely my least favorite song from SOTT, and it would have been a stronger album if it had been left off...lord knows he had much stronger bedroom ballads languishing in the vaults at the time. As his weaker stuff goes, however, it's not that bad - over the years, I've come to tolerate it - but there's a reason you've barely ever heard it played live since the SOTT tour... The same can be said of other songs that don't make ure case stronger.Luminous beings are we...not this crude matter.

I dunno, I always liked this song...but then again, I fucking like Arms of Orion, okay?!  No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

I sort of like the fact that it is not dirty or vulgar...As a woman it is appealing to me. | |
