Right, especially the last minute or so when he's singing about being attempted to break the law. Great energy there!

Yep, great song.

You can hear the genuinity in his vocals, the lyrics are sweet and heartfelt, and the little man even cleverly fused the purely romantic message of the song with some political awareness to reflect the current times we live in.

I love this song too!!! Well, trying to think of which song I don't like~ Prince is so diverse, each and every song is a different genre, that's what makes this album so great. Oh yeah.....Reflection is sooooo touching!!

My wife told me today that she thought it sounded like the kind of song Alicia Keys would write. I thought that was an interested comparison.

Anyway...I love the song. Sounds like a portion of "West" with lyrics added.

Sounds like a slow song that could be placed on a Time album to me. smile

Tell your wife it sounds like the kind of song Prince would write & Alicia Keys would cover thereafter! razz

This reminds me - Alicia was on Oprah a few days ago. As Oprah introduced her she made the statement (in reference to her first album) that she "wrote all the songs on it!" I was like, okay surely Alicia will correct the mighty Oprah when she comes out & give proper credit where it's due... Right?? eek Well, if she did it never made air. So now there's some people new to Ms. Keys & unless they bother to read the liner notes, they'll think she penned HCUDCMA? (Prince), Never Felt This Way (Brian McKnight) & whatever else she didn't write on that mutha neutral

because your beauty - it gives me pause, it slows me down

5 mins in the last time he sings "call my name" and whispers "prince"...chills

the bass alone makes the song. Everything else just happens.

On the Couch is a cool track too. In fact, there are more good tracks than not on this album, and for me it has been the best thing that has happened - Prince-wise - since SOTT. I really wasn't feeling the 90ies, but I absolutely adore this album.

I like this track a lot. This might be my favourite on the album.

'On The Couch' is very good too, but I think I prefer 'Call My Name.'

By the way, why can't any of you write? Are u American or something?
