I prefer this to any single Prince recorded, tbh

Sounds like that "don't blame it on the sunshine/don't blame it on the moonlight" one.

YAAAHHHHHH

Now the real gem by Terence Trent D'Arby was "Sign Your Name". An absolutely beautiful song.

You two aren't really keepin' it positive.

The talky bit is about him asking her not to leave

The song is about her letting him stay.

Where exactly are they both?

OK well y'know you gotta be on a dancefloor to really appreciate this sort of music. It's great pop, sure, but not the sort you listen to while sitting motionless in a darkened room.

― Just got offed, Sunday, 20 July 2008 20:07 (eighteen years ago)

right, I got it.

She left his place, he's gone round to hers and now wants to stay there.

It's a good song, and I think the best of D'Arby's singles, but better than "any single Prince recorded"? Come on... But better than any Prince single since '93? Yes.

"Sign Your Name" is better than any Prince single since '93.

"let her down easy" is heartbreaking

me, i'm a "wishing well" person, but d'arby could do no wrong in 1988.

Wishing Well is his best

― blueski, Sunday, 20 July 2008 22:00 (eighteen years ago)

This whole album is incredible.
