Fave song @ the moment ..MOUNTAINS

I gotta admit after listening to parade and all his 80s albums,i really love MOUNTAINS..

mayb it was also after seeing the film clip on the utcm dvd ,but that song is ,arguably,one of his best ,,

,especially the horn solo part where the drums have the snare hitting the offbeat ..that part really hits me hard

Love this song too.
I saw Wendy & Lisa perform this live in '89 and it was the only Revolution song in their set that night. Sorry if this has been asked before, but is this in fact a W&L composition?

The 12" is awesome - the track is the same but it rolls over into an exteded instrumental. I loved the days when P's 12" 's were extended, rather than remixed.

thumbs up!

After Parade came out, this would always be the first song I'd play after coming home from school. It just made everything feel alright. I saw the video earlier this week and it gave me that same feeling again.

WOW! I am glad I am not the only one who loves this tune! Everytime I see mountains (I live by one, for gosh sakes!) I can't help but hear this song in my head!!!

I loved the video too, especially when they descend from the sky... the b/w & color versions... Prince's dancing...the horns... Lisa blowing the hair out of her face... the balloons... WOW!

AND - someone made a comment earlier about the 12" being an extended version and how they missed that, rather than the crap remixes they do today. I cannot agree more! Man they did some awesome throw-downs and I really miss that about music AND PRINCE today. Great thread!!!!
