[kavini24]

this and 'When doves cry' are my favorite Prince songs ever...no other artist comes close to making this kind of quality songs

[SuckBoot]

check out my cover of this! dont sub i dont wanna be one of those noobs asking everyone. just click my channel its my latest video you'll like it :)

[nmclpcjlftmch]

@SuckBoot

too late.  You just made a noob out of your entire post!

[hermosaoceanbreeze]

I know what your saying, for i've been a Prince fan for almost 30 years. No its

not good to compare because i like both myself although Prince more :-)

[briney1973]

@hermosaoceanbreeze i'm also a massive prince fan for 30 years. i like maybe 10 michael jackson songs. but with prince i like at least 10 albums.

[NimbleWitz]

That's a lot of sensitive guitar playing going on. A wonderful composition that is experimental and can still call itself pop. Prince was a fully formed genius even back then.

[jetz10001]

absolutly amazing artist. love him to bits.

[MrThugnificent69]

excellent lyrics and music.

[DerAktionaer64]

Prince hat ganz schön viele sehr traurige songs geschrieben... ja. Er war mal eine Kapazität auf dem Songschreibermarkt.

[VeryHugeAss]

Prince, where is he? Everyone loves him so much, but you never see him anymore. I wish he would come back.

[cottagechskitty]

@VeryHugeAss Very active. Still touring. Last full release was in 2009 (or 2010 depending on where you live)

[kassnkris100]

@VeryHugeAss He is in Minneapolis at his Paisley Park estate. He does tend to be somewhat reclusive when he is not on stage. He has a studio there too.

[thequeenb1974]

I've beenin love with this man as long as I can remember...everything about him...his biggest fan

[millionairewebmodel1]

This song makes my panties wet.

[parvezjakson]

prince is so fukn Awesome!!

[hermosaoceanbreeze]

@parvezjakson

ya damn right!! :-)

[parvezjakson]

@hermosaoceanbreeze ...prince is a legend and a genius ...im also a big michael jackson fan ..i dont like to compare but id say Prince is better musician than michael ! i mean look at how many instruments he can play and so many albums to this day ..still kickin Butt! but than again ,i must be dumb to praise him on youtube ..he dispise youtube ..Lol

[TheTiobiloute62]

tres reussi cet album

[SupremeSpiderMan]

Prince has been more significant in my life than I ever imagined he would. I just started off loving his music as a child because my Father listened to him, but now that i've turned 18, the truth in his songs has certainly been a great Enlightenment for me. Especially recently lol

[basehead617]

wow i think Prince's company finally gave up on trying to get rid of youtube versions of his songs.. they used to all go down within a week.

[mmmax2g]

I tell you he had to be one of the most honest writers of all time... his music is so unique and PURE!

[Pharoah7400]

One person CAN take the place of your man

[CloudsBeyond]

His last great album and sadly from 25 years ago around 1987. What the hell happebed with Prince??? Hasn't made a great album in years, nor even one great song, not remotely as creative as he once was - just releasing these days same old tired funk rubbish. Seriously what happened?

[Gulftastic]

@CloudsBeyond I blame religion.

[ppppdmt]

@CloudsBeyond you dont think songs like Love Thy will be done and 7 are great?

[VAswang]

@CloudsBeyond Are you serious? Prince has definitely made great songs in the past 25 years, but maybe not a great album.

[DudermanGG]

@CloudsBeyond He has made good songs in my opinion, but it's true that every full album since maybe Gold hasn't been up to his standard. "Somewhere here on Earth", "Guitar" and "Crimson & Clover" are some of his more recent songs that I find pretty damn good.

[Eqr36P]

@DudermanGG I would also add "Act of God," the only worthwhile track from his last album, 20Ten.

[curtiscrush]

step off, woman !

[DaveWollenberg]

His Purpleness hit #10 in Billboard, 2-6-88. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great weekend!

[fede4real]

anotha classic

[Parasmunt]

Strangely this reminds me of Dali's painting called Persistence of Memory or 'Melting Clocks', the strange repeated vocals in the song are pretty surreal anyway! Definitely one of his very best.

[lordjohnson1]

Prince is a great musician thanx 4 tha great music

[AustrianJager]

GENIUS!



[deancogan28]

DUBLIN BABY.....



[MsLawana1]

you are oh so right! because you are a real prince about 2 be king! it is a dag on shame you and i was the only one who made a joyful noise 2 you baby but now it is time 4 you and i your QUEEN.........................

[ymasisiht]

1 person isn't qualified for a one night stand.

[hustlemuscle1]

Just had to chime in here.You show me one Eels member who can master over 36 instruments (27 of which are self-taught) and I'll still listen to some ding-dongs critique about the original song writers version of a remake they like.Truthfully, Prince could do the Eels version of his song better than the Eels could.If you do'nt think so, see him in concert.

[Conkykillz]

Alright This version sucks no doubt about it "Dude" lame boring snoze next. Wish i was born in the forties then i might appreciate it with my teeth out rimming every prick dressed in Purple like you Assshole!

[JagarTharn12]

@Conkykillz Look up the live version on dailymotion before you diss it you asshole. If prefer the eels version then fuck off and listen to it, Your entitled to your opinion, but there's no need to be a prick about it

[OscarPiddletrentHyde]

This sounds like the theme from Question of Sport!

[uVueD2b]

If you listen closely all through the song-especially when he breaks it down @3:49 -you can hear the rhythm beat of Sign 'O' The Times....

[Conkykillz]

Ok lets Agree to disagree Prince has got talent & is a true showman in his own Right but the Feeling i got when E walked out on Stage i have only ever Felt at a few live shows i have seen the Biggest & the Smallest Bands the Raw power he has was Incredible No flashing lights,Fireworks,Dancers just E & his Band left me& my Wife who was not a fan at the time absolutely gob smacked & was well worth the 16hr drive each way He also did a cover of Lovin Spoonful Summer in the city which had to be seen

[JagarTharn12]

@Conkykillz Maybe you should stop sucking his cock

[Conkykillz]

@JagarTharn12 Fuck you what are you his Fluffer fuckwit :)

[neffone77]

@Conkykillz .. Dude grow the fuck up. You can't come to the original song and post negative comments like a douchebag, then say "oh well to each his own" like you're not trying to talk shit. What kinda passive aggressive bullshit is that. The Eels song is just more contemporary, not necessarily better, (actually it kinda sucks). If you can't offer a valid critique, then why the fuck bother commenting? ....Assshole.

[nmclpcjlftmch]

@Conkykillz

That feeling you got 'when E walked out' was the love eggs you've got jammed up your arse going into overdrive. What a little nobby you are ... ;-) Are we supposed to be swayed that E is better than coz you wife was not a fan? What a crock of .....

[Conkykillz]

@nmclpcjlftmch Get a Fucking Life!! i don't give a fuck about you or your fucking opinion each to their own Let it go Nobby Fuckwit Next ;-)

[Conkykillz]

Sorry Prince maybe your song But the EELS Have Nailed it game over just listened to this version YAWN

[controlpopulation]

@Conkykillz , EELS lead singer blows. Another musician wanna be singer. Doesn't even touch Prince's version. Got a good plug for them though. 

[Conkykillz]

@controlpopulation Prince may have had it in the Early 80's but he sounds like a squealing hen getting an egg pulled out of it's arse sorry just does not do it for me YAWN SNOOZE oh yeah have you watched the EELS version ? he is not some Glam Pony pouncing on stage Purple Stain

[controlpopulation]

@Conkykillz , oh but a below average singer on the eels just takes you over the top?? Give me a break.

[Conkykillz]

@controlpopulation Prince has got talent don't get me wrong he opened a lot of doors for the stars today but like Bob Dylan Vs Brian Ferry i prefer the EELS it has more HEART and SOUL and each to their own but i still think it Princes version SUCKS !! Again have you watched the EELS version ? and below average The man has LIVED his MUSIC not just made FANTASY movies about it E has his head where it belongs on his Shoulders not up Some Record producers arse

[controlpopulation]

@Conkykillz, Prince's album version could be a little faster but if you ever watched one of his movies he made, he does it WAYYYY faster and rocks the house with an amazing guitar solo. Album and concert is night and day for a true artist. Prince is one of only a handful that sound better in concert than he does on his albums. Nothing against the EELS but they would be even better if they had a good singer. The guy is average at best.

[kaseydiaz]

Happy Birthday Prince!

[MegaSoulSearcher]

@kaseydiaz >> Uhhhh, I'm sorry...it is "Happy Birthday Symbol"...:)

[Sh3llyl0sth3rm1nd]

"He hurt me so bad," She told me, with tears in her eyes (Tears in her eyes!)

He was all she ever had, and now she wanted to die.

He left her with a baby, and another one on the way, she couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone to stay.

She asked me if I we could be friends, and I said, "Oh, honey, baby, that's a dead-end! You know and I know that we wouldn't be satisfied!"

[lorrainekirkham]

this song means so much to me, the tears are welling up as i write this. just godly

[slydiggum]

I could never, and if I was smart as I think that I am, I wont even try...that wall is too high for me to climb.

[MrSKINFLICK]

Blessed guitar playing from 4:13 on. Long may Prince live !

[bad4365]

Dude, Thanks once again bro :-) PEACE

[kja427]

I would like to see the video for this tune, Prince. The feedback you would get on YouTube.Com would help you with future hits. Oh well, it's your loss.

[fede4real]

@kja427 he never loose in any case WE lose cause we cant enjoy his art.He's been touched by God is talented respected and loved.You dont get money from record sales or youtube views,you get it from touring and his shows are sold out worldwide.So....WE loose and by the way he had already enought hits I dont think his mind is at taht level now he's above proving anything to anybody.Hes a music God living legend

[SebastianMelmoth]

I would 'like' this video, but '69 likes' is too utterly perfect for his depraved Purple Highness ;)

[SAYBOW69]

@SebastianMelmoth - i got it on a tape, will look for it

[johannthelunatic]

Prince could probbly take the place of most men to be honest.

This is the true shit! thats it. Peace!

[swisher6646]

Agree with yakacm....been looking fore this song for a while. I have such awesome memories of listening to this lp during my college years...I was a huge fan in the 80's, but his music even continued to get better early 90's .... Prince is an absolute genius unmatched in today's music.

[eusidhimiri]

@swisher6646 I totally agree. Peace ♪

[yakacm]

I was wondering why it was so hard to find this on you tube, I take it prince doesn't take kindly to his videos being up here, i know he guards his stuff jealously. It shows that he is badly misjudging just what the new(ish) digital media means, him and most of the rest of the recording industry. What's the point of stopping ppl being able to see your vids when they can go to a torrent sight and dl the whole of your back catalogue with a single click, either embrace it or stop recording.
