My god how you really feel it when he says “They sold some more pictures .. all my little memories ..chub change is to unravel the mystery…but life is no fun without fantasy…” (hear how he hangs on “memories”. Kills me. He just got life.
I have lived to realize every word of this song with haunting detail. This man had a way of sitting there and writing your unlived life in a song in the most uncanny way. Just for the lyrics to sneak up on you decades later. Wow, that is a gift only God can give...☮️💟✝️
This song is sooooo deep lyrically symbolic over emotional events taking place 😢 gets me in the ❤ every time I hear it. Such a genius still crying purple tears ☔
This is my favorite version. Always will be. I know quite a few have heard the Vault version, but this has so much guttural meaning behind the lyrics and delivery. You'd have to know the backstory to truly understand. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏿💜
God, I love so much this song/era ! I was so happy that "All My Dreams" was officially released. Truly hope that this one will B part of the Parade SDE...
When you can afford to leave this song out of the chosen lot for your records, you play in a whole different league. Especially considering the way Prince played and composed in the studio. He might have composed, played and recorded this in one day.
My fav Prince Boot. “Chump change for some photographs and all my little memories.” Ain’t that true...Except for some it’s less that change. Sometimes it’s for nothing
Yup cuz Morris said b4 Prince died he told Morris that he loved him! And that was somthing rarely heard from Prince to other men! He has no problem saying it to women tho lol
The irony of this song is that Prince would eject 2 of his closest friends & collaborators, Wendy & Lisa from his band & life a year after recording this song.
SONGS WOW SOLO ARTIST GODS CROWN PRINCE

Wow this a cold track.
Masterpiece!!!❤
Pure purple genius… ‘watch out they’ll kiss you, until they’ve got what they want …’ One of his finest songs ever 💜
🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜
I’ve got this album in White Vinyl…my god between 78/88 what a decade of work.

I just needed to hear this
This song in this original version should have been on Parade! This wants me 2 cry all over again and I wonder what inspired this gem?

One of his greatest songs still unreleased. The L and R channels are reversed
Too funky.....
We tried to tell em
Except for Wally or Cosmic Day, maybe...
God, I love so much this song/era ! I was so happy that "All My Dreams" was officially released. Truly hope that this one will B part of the Parade SDE...
Except that is was released in 1996.
@@christophertracy7136 ??? It was a different version...
Are U talking about the 90s version? I love the original more because U can feel the sadness.
@@christophertracy7136 U talked about the 90's version. In my initial post, I was wishing 4 a release of the original version...
This is da jam y'all.🌹
November 2021!

YES! Miss those days
One of his best Albums top 5
Agreed

If that ain't a James Bond song I don't know what is!!!!!!!!!
I love this song.
Let's hope the Estate will do a Parade Super Delux Edition including this. Such a gem.
I have this entire album on vinyl and I haven't played it, since he left. It's too emotional for me.

Ain't nothing like playing the original cut! Too smooth! 😎🎶🎶
I had a friend who had this version. He said it came from the Black Album. Guess it was a different album.
This shit is so hard.. 🎯❤ Prince zoned on this..

I wonder how does Morris feels now that Prince is gone when he hears this....shit is probably super heavy on his heart
Yup cuz Morris said b4 Prince died he told Morris that he loved him! And that was somthing rarely heard from Prince to other men! He has no problem saying it to women tho lol
still here 3/24/2021......and i cant help myself

🍒💋🍒For good reason.💋🍒💋
Now this is one of Prince’s most underrated songs and album. I ❤️ this album.
100% agree
This is such P Funk sounding song and I love that.
That was his intentions
