Still Waiting (Prince song)

"Still Waiting" was the third US single from Prince's second album, Prince. It was Prince's first ballad to be released as a single and was mildly popular on the R&B chart, reaching #65. The ballad speaks from the perspective of a young man who hasn't yet found love but yearns for it. The track is mainly piano, acoustic guitar and synth-based and was often played live with extended instrumental solos and audience teasing. The song is a more traditional R&B ballad, before Prince established himself with trademark sexual romps like "Do Me, Baby" and "International Lover".

gollark: I go for directly running stuff. At some point I investigated elegantly™ having all my stuff dockerized and with docker compose files/config in a repository, but gave up on this.
gollark: This is not at all going to go horribly wrong at some point.
gollark: My entire storage setup is the now-probably-11-years-or-so-old 1TB disk in my server, various random external ones I do backups to, and the tiny SSD in my laptop.
gollark: Aren't the big ones SMR or something?
