Oh relax..I can speak passionately about this...and your right it is my opinion but I think you will quickly find out that its the opinion someone who knows what they are talkig about once no one plays that boring ass song

Even your comments on the intro are hilarious..because they are nothig alike and thats not an opinion. Thats a fact

Good choice imo

YES! I love this song, it's my favorite track.

I was in a shoe store here in Atlanta this weekend (Shoemaker's Warehouse), and they played Million Days, Illusion Coma Pimp & Circumstance, Reflection, and Cinnamon Girl. All of the songs were getting much love from the folks in the store, and they were really loving Million Days.

You are clearly lacking in good musical judegment, and you're not a very good reader. No one is saying that any of the three songs sound exactly alike. If you spent as much time listening to music as you do whinning, you'd probably get it.

Actually, I can also see where the LRC comparison fits in, especially with how the songs start. Sure LRC is a far superior song, but that doesn't mean there isn't a similarity between the two songs.

What's odd is that the add refers to KMJQ, which is a Urban Adult Contemporary station in Houston. Not really the kind of station I'd expect to hear A Million Days on.

i'm amazed that some people feel the need to bash others over their musical preferences. there are no laws of nature when it comes to prince songs. geez. if you like it, good. if you don't, move along.

and, yeah, if the shoe fits then i'm prolly talkin' boutchu!

YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!



I love that song. I had reserved myself to it being only an album track. Watch it'll flop cuz it's my favorite... I am very pleased he decided to do this. Now if only he'll play it live!

yeah OK...well I'm willing to bet that You thought the Holy River was a fantastic song too and we know where that went. The song is weak period

Hey you never know what can happen. When I purchased Musicology at 12:01 on the first day it was issued, "Million Days" was playing in the background at the Virgin Megastore in Union Square in Manhattan.

Give it a chance!

actually, for me, A Million Days is one of my least listened to songs
on Musicology so far.
I am still holding out for a killer hit with If Eye Was The Man In Your Life

JFive said:

Ehh..what exactly does it mean when they don´t release "physical singles" or CD singles ??
You mean they will shoot a video for a song with no single to buy so that people will buy the whole album, or like the Dolphin video which also didn´t have a single (or album at the time ).
I´m afraid I did´t quite catch your drift...no single ( or maxi single with remixes or other songs ) is planned to be released ???

A Million Day's makes sense.....since it is the best song on the CD

Universaluv said:

I never thought about AMD and LRC...they are two different songs, but similar in structure. Not really in sound. The sound is very gold exp/3chains of gold...but the chorus and other parts of the song feel much older. I think that's why I like it so much...it feels like the revolution could have written that song or something. I can't place my finger on it.

In fact there are very strange nuances and similarities to many different eras he's had. I hear Alphabet St, My Computer, 3 Chains, an Old boot called “I miss you”… I am sure there are other anomalies mixed into it. Not exact references, but subtleties, hints. Anyone else notice this?…or ones I haven’t pointed out.

I think this is a wise “single” for him. I think Call my name may have doused the flames of Musicology (though it’s a decent song…it’s a grower…certainly R&B pop). I am still shocked that ICP&C isn’t the next one. Though whatever picked should be played live. Yesiree!

And what’s this “someone who knows what they are talking about” beeswax? This isn’t the npgmc. No ones opinion round here is any more valid than the others. Not an opinion. It's a fact.

Oh and a comment to Scrambled Eggs on this… i am not saying it is the the most earth shattering, ground breaking acheivement in music, but neither is the album. i dont think that is the purpose of this album.

I so very much agree with this statement I can’t stand it! My thoughts exactly. Good album…good effort..nothing earth shattering. This should be the hands down bottom line when discussing Musicology amongst the fans…oh and IMO.

Definately the most easily accesible of the CD 4 sho. Although, Im strangely drawn 2 Cinnamon Girl as a single release 4 some reason, it's quirky, and u cant help but sing along. It's kinda kitch like Raspberry Beret was. So I hope that sees a release too.

JFive said:

I don't know why they are impacting on urban ac radio stations with this one. Maybe they will hit up the CHR stations. That song is straight up POP.

(Takes a break from party and meet/greet planning to post)


Singles now in America are just released to radio and the video is serviced to the Music Channels.

The May 16th date I think might have been picked for a reason.

Anyone know what other Prince single was released on a May 16th?

If I give away the year, it will give away the song.


(O.K. back to party planning.)

Sooo if YOU said it was STRONG then it would be? end of discussion? Interesting. Can you go ahead and just let me know the rest of the songs i should be considering strong so that i don't bother having my opinion like others are choosing to do on this site?

this seems sorta rumorish to me

It's my favorite track on the shite album, but I'm not sure how it'll catch on with the public.

Good choice, it will do well.

I always wondered if Prince was choosing the singles? Does the artist usually decide or is it the label?

After giving this much thought I consider this song to be the best choice for next single.

I think it will do well.

All right! I love this song!

I hope Cinamon Girl would be the 3rd one

Musicology is very much like New Power Soul, in the sense that every song on the album could be a radio single.

I woulda chose Cinnamon Girl, followed by On the Couch, and then Life O' the Party or If Eye Was the Man in Ur Life, just because this would be a good cross section of the album, and would keep people interested.

I would've chosen 'A Million Days' or 'Cinnamon Girl', but if it was up to me, I would've chosen the latter since it captures a lot of his musical style before & now.

...This is a great choice for a single..It really doesn't make a shit if it isn't a "strong" song or whatever the prevailing arguement is here..the fact is it does have a ton of potential for mass appeal....It really blows my mind how pissy people get here about other peoples opinion...I could see if we were at a nuclear physics discussion site..but, damn..it's music...Its all in the individual ear...or so I thought...guess I should ask someone who KNOWS...

EVERYBODY LOOK.... closely at the ad...

There is a radio station listed (KMJQ). This is an adult R&B station in the Houston market. The idea that they would endorse "A Million Days" as a single for R&B airplay is absolutely ludicrous...

I too hope this is a joke. Don't get me wrong, " Million Days" is a nice track, and may even make a decent single. But NOT on R&B radio... No F...in' way!

Well, according to Days of Wild, that would be "When Doves Cry" in 1984.

Quoting p. 25 in the book: "Purple Rain is previewed by 'When Doves Cry." Warner Bros. was initially hesitant to release the song, arguing that it was too different from the usual pop fare. Despite the apprehension, listeners instantly took hold of 'When Doves Cry' and didn't let go. The single immediately became a massive hit and it was number one for five weeks straight."


Wow, I would wish the same for "A Million Days" but it's not as stellar as WDC.

I am happy about this choice, though (if it can be believed).

It's a SAFE single. I prefer Cinnamon Girl, but what about those that would be bored by a social message. This is a safe, harmless single that should chart because it's recognizable PRince and easy to sing along to.

He doesn't need to stick out with something different right now. People are willing to embrace him and he should make that as easy as possible by putting out this middle-caliber ordinary song that's just likable enough....
