Empty Room - when exactly is it from? Just saw the video online and it looks like C&D/TGE-era... am I right?

mid 1980s i think and then re-worked in 1995 and very nearly released hence the video I guess. Someone like BorisFishpaw or langeblue may know exact details Just somewhere in the middle,

Prince wrote some songs for James L. Brooks's 1993 I'll Do Anything. "Empty Room" was one of them. "The Rest of My Life," and "My Little Pill" are 2 others. | |

No, the above reply is correct: it was written in the mid-80's, then reworked in the 90s for both I'll Do Anything, and (apparently) the video version. | |

He wrote it after a fight with Susannah, apparently. Giving money and power to government is like giving whisky and car keys to teenage boys. | |

The 1995 version IS pretty much the 1985 version, as stated by Michael Bland on this website a couple of years ago. The 1993 "I´ll Do Anything" sessions version was a reworked and very short piano version. They used the 1985 version´s basic tracks for the 1995 version that could be seen and heard during the Ultimate Live Experience/Gold Experience tour in 1995.

Correct, its about Susannah, and Wendy did lead vocals, it was going to be on the Dream Factory, but Prince scrapped it after he disbanded the revolution La vie en rose | |
