    Prince progressed so much with each new album, but to me, this was something of an homage to the music he created for Controversy. And to that point, I wore out two cassette copies of Controversy, because it is one of the best albums ever recorded!! R.I.P., you funky mofo!

    This extended version was already released in ‘85...but in different countries outside USA.USA’s version got Sheila E’s ‘remix’ while everybody else got the entire 9 minute uncut version. The reason for it was that Warner Bros. in The States wanted Prince to delete the additional lyrics about crack/cocaine in which at that time was a serious issue. Instead, he ‘covered’ it with the sound of...umm...let’s just say...’Chaos & Disorder’. ‘Cause that’s how he Felt about the record company when they turned their noses up on the ATWIAD album.

      You know, for Prince, the "song" was usually, originally the "long" version recorded as a jam or improvisation later edited down to the "single" mix. Take the song America from same album Around the World in a Day. The 12 inch single version is 20+ minute jam. The version on the album and 7 inch single is just excerpts pieced together. This extended Pop Life has extra lyrics and piano and other performances that album and single "short" versions leave out. The b-side songs She's Always In My Hair and Hello were also "short" and "extended" versions with extra verses etc. It was Prince's way of working a song. Check out interviews with Susan Rogers at Sunset Sound recording studios for more insight too. Facinating.

    • @Ispeakthetruthify
      @Ispeakthetruthify 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Because it's not an uplifting song. It has an uplifting/catchy beat...but the lyrics of the song are about struggle, depression, and trials of real life. And about people doing anything they can(drugs-selling themselves out), to try to be with the 'in-crowd'.
      So your "sadness flow" is the proper reaction to this great song.

Then this was dropped after Purple Rain's long run, then the movie resurgence. It was one of the best summers of my early adulthood.
