Unreleased Early 1984 Song OUR DESTINY Man.
The only version I've heard is live and very tinny but man it sounds like a killer song.
Super catchy New Wave pop. Very clever lyrics with lots of Classic Prince-ly Sass.
Do you guys know if there's a studio version of this tune???
Starts off with rolling synth riff and a stomoing bass drum ala Dirty Mind then unfolds into a spry pop-funk jam... | |

Yes there is a studio version with Lisa Coleman on lead vocals - I love both | |

Pump those brakes. Since when is there a Lisa version of Our Destiny? Do you mean A Place in Heaven?! | |

Nope, studio version the beat and the strings that we hear open the Ladder | |

The only copy I have heard is titled Our Destiny/Roadhouse Garden and sounds like a live recording with the Revolution. I always wondered if they were two sep songs but never did the research. | |

OldFriends4Sale is correct (as usual), a studio version of Our Destiny with Lisa on lead vocals leaked some time ago, comparatively recently I guess in terms of circulating tracks but I still think it was a few years ago. You can find it on the Eye Records release Blast From The Past 1.0. [Edited 4/29/16 11:15am] Heavenly wine and roses seems to whisper to me when you smile...

A Lisa version has been out there for a couple of years now. | |

I finally just heard the live version - and honestly it's kind of underwhelming. Unless the studio different was really different, I can see what this never made a relased album. Not that crazy about Roadhouse Garden either. Heresy! |

I LOVE the version of Our Destiny. Especially now it rolls into Roadhouse Garden. That shit is FUNKY. But the studio version with Lisa has never done much for me. I think I first heard it back in 2012 or so. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

I've been familiar with OD due to watching the Roadhouse Rehearsal boot but have never heard the studio version until right now. Verdict: love it! |

I love the studio cut and the live rendition I love how Prince literally sings it as a man talking to a woman, and Lisa sings it as a woman talking to a man

It is interesting that the verses start in falsetto and then come down into his normal register - it definitely makes it seem like he wrote it for someone else to sing. |

Oh wow, really like the studio version. Those trippy strings get me every time. |

Love the live version. The foreboding synth opening and the one-two of Our Destiny and Roadhouse Garden... it sounds like the perfect opening to what could have been a Purple Rain follow up album. Hundalasiliah! |
