This song was written/recorded while they were still with Prince & the Revolution.

Possibly a lot of the songs from their 1987 album were.

I get so loney, when I think of you

I get the feeling our love is never new

We watched each other going many different ways

Come with me

let's meet at the station

Where we first started

Then we made love, life in the world

Seems like we are living on rainbows

Take a ride

on the Honeymoon Express

Take a ride

on the Honeymoon Express

Honey Express = and so is their brilliant first album .......I also love Everything But You

Waterfall

And finally Song About

I think Prince influenced a lot of the tracks on the first album, perhaps even co-wrote. As you said, it was written while they were still in the Revolution.

I think he played guitar on something actually I believe he did work with them on the 2nd album 1988 like he did with BrownMark, but Bobby Z actually co-wrote 5 songs, and Susannah co-wrote this one.

Yeas, but it isn't that straight forward. Lots of ideas came out of jam sessions and rehearsals, and if the tracks were written while they were still in The Rev, then who knows who first came up with the ideas.

Yeah, but they most likely would have credited him.

He did play guitar on 1 or 2 songs on the 2nd album

Songs like Mountains and Power Fantastic were 'other' songs already composed by Lisa (and Wendy) outside of Prince before he heard them.

I think Prince wrote words/melody and added arrangements for M and PF.

Yes after he heard what Lisa did,

Like Power Fantastic used to be Carousel

I mean she had songs created already that he hadn't heard

I suspect guys in the Time probably did too

Anyway, I think it's just as likely that Prince influenced/co-wrote songs on The first couple of W&L albums.

I think it's their best album.

yep so far Prince had nothing to do with it

So Prince not being involved makes it a better album? Anyway - you don't know that he wasn't involved. He probably was. As you admitted many of the songs were written during the Revolution era.

OldFriends4Sale said:

No,
I don't mind if Prince was involved in it.
I never said this one was better or not.

If you have factual information I welcome it

But about THIS song, not the album.

.

I didn't admit anything, I said it could have been
This is the only one from the album that I have direct information

Why does it always have to turn into this

I'm just appreciating this 1 song on this thread

.

Org member Latin has started a thread that discusses the whole album, called: Article-Testing a Dream Wendy & Lisa's Debut album. http://prince.org/msg/5/446345/

.
This thread is just about this 1 song.

Im a big fan of W&L's solo work but I'd love to have heard Prince sing this one, it'd have fit right in with that Dream Factory vibe. There's a few on their first solo album I feel like that about, a pity really.

I rather not....it would not make them have a unique sound of their own..they wanted to branch out as well be crative in their own way after the dismemberment of The Revolution

Ah of course, the reality we got is great as well but i'm allowed a few 'what ifs'

I would appreciate it if when y'all guys claim that Prince played on this or co-composed that it was backed-up with facts or substantial information. When not, it's just gossip confusing people's minds, and that's just not cool. Thx.
