how good it is how good it is how good it is how good it is

She's something else miss badu eh pop pickers?!

It is one of her finest tunes, no doubt about it.

this is one of the most cherished songs in org history...

surprisingly...this is the ONE track i always skip on Mama's Gun. Never got into it. My burned copy has no Orange Moon.

I also fell (almost) asleep when she played this in concert...toward the end of the show. But that could have also had to do with the blunt and the champagne.

WOW.

REALLY?

Sorry, but I don't like it, either. The piano and whole vibe is very classy and the lyrics are lovely, but it's so repetitious and never seems to end.

"Green Eyes", on the other hand, is pure, emotionally stirring beauty, and "Kiss Me On My Neck" is the jam.

oh crap..i got my songs mixed up...i was thinking of Green Eyes..


my bad!!

i love the words to orange moon.....there's such a spiritual connectiveness.


Green EYES is a classic though... This one emotional rollercoaster I've been through.

Ma Mas Gun period, the whole album stank

you gotta be kidding. that's like Erykah's manifesto. the essence of her art. my favorite all time album ever.

how many times have you spun it top to bottom? you really don't like 'kiss me on my neck' or '...& on' or 'in love with you'???

badujunkie said:

ok obviously you didn't understand what I meant by "stank" and I must remember not to use funk - speak on the internet

Y'all trippin', Orange Moon is MY SHIT

badujunkie said:

yeah....the word "stank" threw you for a loop huh?

Rhondab said:

sure did. i think i inserted a "was" in there...i get it now

Totally off subject here:


I just got thru seeing her video for Bag Lady and I know N'Dambi was in it and Badu's sister was in it (They look like damn twins), but was Yazarah the dark-complected sista? I don't think it was but she did favor Yahz. And the other chick looked like Carmen Rodgers, all part of that Camp Wisdom Clique out there in Dallas.

StoneCrib said:

I thought yahz changed her name to Purple St. James

Meloh9 said:

Damn, u're right, she DID change her name and it WAS her in Badu's Bag Lady video. I hope she ain't flippin' out like so many in her genre do. Now all I need to do is find out if that was Carmen Rodgers. Yahz (Purple's) new cut sounds like it has a Prince sample of When Doves Cry drums, you can hear it on her myspace:

yeah thats how I found out she changed her name, she's in my bottom top eight

StoneCrib said:

Its the drum snare from Raspberry Beret and so is the rhythm stick.

I like the song, but it in need of sampling update. It sounds like its in 11 or 22khz

paisleypark4 said:

U sure? Cuz it definitely sounds like When Doves Cry.

sosgemini said:

I love Green Eyes!! The lyrics to the intro, theyre just brilliant! Orange Moon is great too, very chilled

My fave song from the album is Cleva though More women need more songs ike that

susannah said:

hey susannah im a big fan of yours.. Screams Of Passion was/is my song. What you been up to?

Meloh9 said:

I wish honey, I wish

StoneCrib said:

nooo.that snare rimshot is a definite take from Raspberry Beret. listen to Raspberry again

susannah said:

SAY THAT SHIT! I really can't decide if Cleva or Booty is my absolute fave on that album. But Cleva is the shit

CalhounSq said:

definitely!! Bootys great too though both great sentiments!

paisleypark4 said:

It's definitely from the first couple seconds of "Raspberry Beret". Before Prince counts 1.. 2.. 1, 2, 3, 4

I'm an orange moon....reflecting the light....




Thats all your getting from me

orange moon like a lot of her work has a 5% message behind it
