4 The Tears in U'r Eyes

I was looking up Wendy & Lisa, and I found a song I had never heard from classic prince before. Shame everything went so afar off.

I've never even read about this song.

maybe I didn't care to notice.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.

It's on the We Are The World album and also on The Hits/B-Sides.

Story has it that is was recorded in one take with Prince, Wendy, and Lisa in different rooms.

I'm not sure how to take your "Shame everything went so afar off" comment, but if you're lamenting the breakup of that amazing creative grouping of artists, then I agree.

Maybe,

Maybe it's a thread about Prince's song, '4 The Tears In Your Eyes'.

Pretty sure you're confusing that story with Power Fantastic where Lisa was in the basement on the piano or something.

There are 2 versions of 4 The Tears In Your Eyes, the We Are The World album version and the Live Aid video recording/B-Sides version.

That's right - thanks! How different are those 2 versions? Different enough to try to track down the WATW version?
