Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Come on darling
Can you picture this?
Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold ?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Touch if you will my belly
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (a world that's so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding (maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (ya know he's 2 bold)
Maybe I'm just like my mother (maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (she's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other (why do we scream at each other)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry, doves cry
Don't cry
Darling don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't don't cry
...incorrectly...
Unnecessary.
so is your post, i love it and going to raise it too 10
Unnecessary.
True. But only because you could make that statement about any song ever written or covered. I don't need this song cover , but I like it.
Don't care. She is the goddess. 7. Push me and I'll up it to an 8 or 9.
I'm pushing--I got this as a 9.
What kind of people exist on the earth whom vote 10 for this song !
Just did. Ask me anything.
Absolutely necessary.
Fixed that for you.

It's amazing how many folks believe using the subjective and objective cases ass backwards makes them sound more edumacated.
Got closer to the speakers and the PC.
Yep.
Yuck.
Awful rendition.
probably an unpopular opinion, but don't care--better than prince.
I can't say I ever liked Prince so a cover doesn't do anything for me. However, I just skipped ahead to the next song. That was easy. Thanks to RP for the ability to do that.
(Thanks for asking.)
Rather beautiful actually. Artistic license has no boundaries.
In this case, maybe it should.
Patti, Patti. Why?
Seems unfair to single this out - for me this is no worse than most of her other output.
lol?

Would have to agree, Recorded quite well also.
Not a Prince fan, but I'd far rather hear his version than this.
There are good covers. (Foo Fighters)
There is making a cover song yours (Heart - Alone, or Sinead - Nothing Compares 2 U)
and there are Tributes (Nighwish - High Hopes, Over The Hills)
Then there's "Did we really need this?" (Limp Bizkit Behind Blue Eyes)
Sorry Miss Patti, we really didn't need this.
Good: "Killing Me Softly" by The Fugees and "Northwest Passage" by Unleash The Archers
Make It Yours: "All Along The Watchtower" by Hendrix (the premier example) and "RESPECT" by Aretha (didn't know that was a cover, didya? Well, neither did I until I googled it!)
Did We Really Need It: You forgot "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Tori Amos.
Alone in a world so cold?
- maybe it's because you're singing this awful cover version Patti :(

Terrible!
Seriously Bill?

Yeah, but it's such an intriguing juxtapositioning. I mean, whodathunk, Patti Smith covering Prince?
The glam punked-down? Doesn't faze me in the least. I like 'em both.
Love Patti Smith.
This was a horrible idea. What was she thinking ?
Ms Smith (and her band) show the ability to play something familiar with a completely different attitude ... and they do a magnificent job!
Seriously Bill?

Cool! Maybe Bill will play one of those next...
Nevertheless, even by my low expectations, this is a travesty. She's managed to excise every ounce of vitality, presenting a dried-out husk of a song.
This is a noble attempt to cover the Prince song with an original twist, but it sounds like she took too much Valium before she stepped in the studio... pure putrid buttmud and bad for the ears...
agreed
Yes! Well said.
Why does this song have such a low rating? After doing a little research in the RP library it would appear that RP song raters don't have a great love for Patti Smith or Prince or this song. (although to be fair the original doesn't have a bad rating - 6.6) I do think this artist has a strong catalog and other songs may have rated higher. ....Who knows?
Yea, no doubt. I'm one of them.
Edit: 38% and counting...
Patti...
Yes, she did. This is absurd. She must have been really high.
eh, I've reevaluated… 1->3
Ha - just did the exact same move and came across your comment. Agree - not a "1" but very "ho hum"; "unnecessary" as someone else said.
