Riff: Prince – “Breakfast Can Wait”

Sep 30, 2014

Grits and gravy, cheese eggs and jam/Can nobody cook it like you girl/No ma’am!/This here early morning, need something else on my plate/I think I want another bite of you/Breakfast can wait!

from Breakfast Can Wait lyrics by Prince

Even when he’s crackin’ jokes it still projects as a majestic sunbeam. The heavy bass and light keys blanket the surface and warms to the idea that love is a beautiful feeling worth fighting for. And it’s not some bat-shit crazy orgy over bacon and eggs either, it’s classy and yet somehow hilarious.
