He probably gets around the grammatical error in the title because its official title is believed to be, 'Others Here With Us' - but that still doesn't help you. . Right - that is still an unreleased bootleg and bootleggers get it wrong about 40% of the time. | |

This song is on the bootleg CD charade that was also released on vinyl in 1988 or 1989 | |

2freaky4church1 said: Actually, here is how the song sounds.
It starts with what sound like wild birds chirping in a grave yard. Then you hear a little creepy synth line then these big ass drums kick in--shit sounds like a shovel banging against a crypt, then it starts with this high pitched squealing synth. Layers of creepy synth squeals, that keep changing. Like insane acid jazz or something. Prince's vocals are creepy and mysterious, with falsetto squeals and cries, like he sees ghosts or sometin. Song just gets louder and louder and the drums pound and pound. Probably his most original song ever. This motherfucker invented goth.

KingSausage said: Lyrics:
Others Here With Us When I'm alone, my mind takes a drive Through chocolate religion and spirits alive All I was brought up in this world 2 know Is lost when a demon swallows them whole CHORUS: There's others here with us There's others here with us, I know It's strange how your mind works when Love is in power One learns 2 care and appreciate a flower What makes others want 2 change your mind? All the things I've seen, life is so sublime CHORUS 7-month-old baby died in her sleep The parents went crazy and cried 4 a week They swore they heard her laugh in the crib by the wall They're convinced she's with us if she's anything at all There's others here with us There's others here with us, I know (I know) Bobby had an uncle who took a string And wrapped his neck around it, a pitiful thing If only we can turn back the hands of time Except there's others here with us, life is sublime There's others here with us There's others here with us, I know (I know) All the things I've seen {x2} CHORUS this isn't creepy. ain't he talking about angels here? (spirits, boddhisatvas, guides, etc.) | |

King Sausage is having a little princey revival since Musicology. Breaking out the old bootleg recordings. 
p.s I love this song.  When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

I've always thought this "song" was pretty lousy and I can see why he didn't release it.
It's not creepy in the least...to me. | |

p.s I love this song. Damn straight. I'm probably driving my wife insane! I even listened to Emancipation the other day. Still hated it, but hey!  "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

"Bobby had an uncle who took a string And wrapped his neck around it, a pitiful thing" Masterful? How did he manage to wrap his neck around a string? that is one hell of a long neck. I could understand how he could possibly wrap a string around his neck though.  You do as I say | |

If you do not like this song, you should quit being a Prince fan, because you have no clue. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

Has anybody played this at night, alone, with the lights out? I wouldn't recommend it! " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

It's a Parade outtake. yeah, that's a creepy song. Never heard anything like it. I've played it a million times on my walkman. It's a song from "CHARADE" and i've lost that tape. I've been searching 4 that bootleg everywhere but never found it. Could someone please tell me where I can get it. And i mean not only this song but all the songs off this bootleg. It would mean a lot 2 me. U can contact me at hb.dijkstra.quicknet.nl Thanx | |

Actually, that was Black Sabbath, but I see your point. This song is incredible, and its uber-creepy. I wish I had a decent recording of it! I wanna put it on my Halloween compilation.

Others here with us is about as scary as the Scooby Doo theme song. Dance with the devil is much darker. | |
