    That’s the song the fans that paid $77 for a never updated site are singing. So disappointing.

    vocally it’s not that impressive (not that he has to impress anyone). His vocals lately have been lackluster and doesn’t have the same melodic quality it usually has. kinda monotone.

    guitar was great as usual though.

    Tigris-Stephanie, you worded the feeling and most of ours just perfect…..
    Prince really knows how to express and give us inspiration, he has always been this way. Thats why we have been around him so long……..Always inspirational, always when we need it most………..
    thank you P!

    Takes me back to the laid back days of wild when we went to Prince concerts, and there was not pushing and screaming. This song has me longer for the better days – ahead

    I like the track. He mellowed it out. Sounds Cool Though.
    I still like the edgyer sound of the original.

    I’ve seen Prince many times now, Montreux where just as waw. Now we have many footages coming out from Lotuflow3r.com. Well, but it’s time to share dear fans! Don’t forget, we have subscribed 70 dollars for a hole year. Something tells me some changes going on for us subscribers. Other will may going to be badly jealous..
    And more joiners, more credits for independent creation !

    I agree that Dr. Funkenberry is the #1 source 4 all Prince news….I visit this site more than Lotus…I feel bad 4 those who r upset with Prince and his website and can agree that it was a rip off when all we got was a cd download and a amatuer looking t-shirt…He has disaapointed many fans and unless he gives everyone who signed up another year for free u can bet that people will not sign up again…wow hate 2 say it…but bad call on his part

    Oh and by the way why on earth isn’t this previewed 1st of all on Lotusflower, for the fans who spent 77$ and would like to have some material worth that sum before the end of the year?

    Sunday a leak of an unseen Montreux video on You Tube, and now this?
    That I really would like to know, because it’s starting to get me really upset, and I didn’t even got my T-SHIRT !

    Peace again.

    I am very disappointed, only one guitar ? There’s one missing, only one lead vox, no bg vox ? Power needed into that rendition. Lead vox NOT in falsetto makes this song as banal as can be. The bass is on holidays, the extensive rauchy and rocky solo is gone to make room to a nice arrangement, ok, but to segue into Take me With U ? Please ? We heard it a thousand times, enough !

    If this is what we french, are gonna witness, well, I am sorry to tell, but there’s no rock neither soul into it, so no, that’s not exciting AT ALL.

    If Prince really look forward to pleasing the french fans, then he can continue rehearse night and day, and consider playing stuff he never played before, and/or he didn’t play for a very long time.

    Don’t get me wrong, play WYWTSB? is cool, for sure, but honestly it’s not punchy enough. I need more to trip.

    Peace.

    Thanks Doc for posting it, Thanks Prince for sharing it… On a day like today, when Im stressed and feeling like things are unrecoverable…… to hear this…. U have know idea what you have done for me. My son keeps making me play it over and over. Im sure he recalls it from in the womb 🙂 The track is hot, its refreshing. Its giving me some hope and rejuvenation. When theres so much crap on radio, I can always rely on P to be timeless and mindblowing. In a time when my hubs has 70 enrolled in band, but only 10 show for rehearsals… siiiigh. I just needed this. He will flip when he hears it too. Thanks again…..
