Mountains, the song and video I like Mountains. One of my favourite tracks off the Parade album. Psycedelic and funky. Doesn't sound dated really.
With the video, at first I didn't really like it, thought it was boring. But then watched it again and saw that Prince pulls some killer moves. Plus Lisa and Wendy looked cute. | |

Great song (Mountains) that deserved to get more exposure. Prince obviously was fond of the song as he brought it back into live sets around 2010-2012. | |

There was a rehearsal footage on YouTube of this song, better than the video IMO | |

nothing sounds dated on that album. Transcends time still
Mountains stood out 2 me at first listen, and I knew that one would have an extended version.
Such a joyful song | |

Oh, come on. The lin drum stands out like dog's balls next to any song released a couple of years after and onwards. [Edited 10/19/16 7:09am] Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain. | |

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

You said "nothing sounds dated on that album". I pointed out that the use of the linn drum is dated, as a result, if you play Mountains next to any song released this year, it does, indeed sound very dated. Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain. | |

It doesn't sound dated still, very timeless album of music I enjoy like a Spring road trip
I listen 2 Marvin Gayes What's Going On album and Joni Mitchells Court & Spark and they have such a timeless expression 4 me just like Parade | |

I was fascinated with "Mountains" when it came on radio. I used to record music from the radio onto cassettes (as most of us did back then). I had a catalog of music over my high school years. Almost 36 tapes. I called them Hot Hits. I couldn't record "Mountains" fast enough to listen to over and over. I had no idea what half of the lyrics were. I loved the echoed clap on the 2-and. I thought it was so unusual and interesting. Plus it's mostly in one chord the whole time (like "Hello" and "America"), so that was interesting to me as well.

Wonderful song, so full of joy, but i mean the extended version, i don't like the video, though. | |

This song is pretty awesome. It makes you feel good in your heart! | |

Exactly, specially if you play it loud. | |

Nothing about Mountains sound like anything even remotely out today. And it doesn't particularly sound like anything I've heard non-Prince from around that time either. That whole CD is so hip it's crazy. | |

One of his best songs! The video is great: love it when he's just sitting on the carpet. 'Liberate My Mind' | |

Mountains and Kiss are both my favorite jams on the album. 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment | |

Didn't someone here go so far as to mak the case that "Mountains" was the last great song he ever wrote? | |

Was it Cloreen perhaps?

. Great song, though arguably a poor choice as a single. Not a strong enough hook to grab the radio-listening public's fancy, hence it's relatively weak charting (U.S., not sure what it did in UK offhand). Not a reflection on the song's inherent quality, of course. | |
