Whenever U Go, Whatever U Do

I've FINALLY figured out where i'd heard the music at the start of this song before! The few times I've played it in the last year I knew I recognised the music playing in the first ten seconds (before the guitar kicks in), but could never put my finger on it. But after repeated restarts i've just figured out it's Forever In My Life. I bet this is old news for a lot of you, but damn, it's had me thinking!

This is a gr8 song with a beautiful vocal delivery and although positive, it's somehow a little sad; almost as if it's a goodbye to a loved one who is moving on. In that respects it reminds me of Don't Talk To Strangers (or to a lesser extent Sweet Baby). I think it would work beautifully in an emotional moving on/moving away scene in a film.

Think I'll listen to I Love U, But I Don't Trust U Anymore next...

The Prince song. 'Wherever U Go, Whatever U Do' is pretty similar too.
