I love this track and first had it in '90, when it was circulating as "Welcome to the Ratrace".

Those of you who saw it live last night are very lucky!

Maybe this will come out officially on Lotusflow3r.com on one of the rumored 10 albums????

My favorite unreleased jam.

Looove this song! I can't believe that Prince performed it live. I would love to see Prince in concert singing it.

one of my fav unreleased tracks together with

superb track! i hope he releases it on the site together with some more
unreleased songs.

Let's hope he let's us hear these now historic performances!

Where did you hear about 10 albums???

Close2u said:

One of the many interviews posted here mentioned that the designer for the LotusFlow3r site said that Prince has filmed a ton of concerts in his career, and that he (the designer) was in the process of cataloguing about 10 albums worth of footage dating back to the late 70s. They never said this would be on the site of course, just something to give people hope and join the site haha.

I freakin love this song

oh yeah one of my fav Prince songs! and that as you know is saying
alot
I had a secret dream that he was going to slip IALRWNL on to one of the
new albums like when he put Joy In Repetition on Graffiti Bridge.
Now seeing that he played it live for the first time ever on the day of the cd's
release I'd have to say that that little dream has come true!
(now i just need to hear it!)
Also, if I was at that show (which I should have been, yes )
which he opened with WILMHOY, and he did She Spoke To Me!!! and THEN IALRWNL!!!!
I would have lost it big time

Verrrry interesting. Makes it seem like he has reviewed some of the old vault tracks.

anybody have the lyrics for this song?

In A Large Room With No Light

Lana drew a picture in school 2day
One that made her mother cry
A picture of a woman with a drink in her hand

Standing by a child with no eyes
Washington reaction based upon revenge
Babies blown 2 kingdom come

Damn the logic
Cartoon characters look better when they're on the run
Danny dropped the dime on his girlfriend

He said he didn't wanna go 2 jail alone
The seed lives in the same mind

With the thought that says we all should be stoned
And people lookin' 4 angels in the sky

Whenever they're broken-hearted
Love is grown, seeds are sown
A fire don't burn unless it's started
Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations
That aren't right
Everytime U wake up there's a little motherfucker
Talkin' big stuff in your face (Are U happy?)
U only get the kind of people that open their mouth
just 2 swap feet
Welcome 2 the rat race
Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations
That aren't right

Oh, if U could just pass your history class
Maybe life would be alright
Until then U'll be lookin' 4 a penny

In a large room with no light
Yeah!
Life {repeat 2 fade}

Would love to hear a clean, clear, properly mastered version of this track.

- Everytime U wake up there's a little motherfucker -

You can rest assured that will not remain in any official release (if at all its ever released)

Shame this wasn't on the updated 30 years boots?

blacksweat said:

You mean the 30 Years of Funk CDs? I have those, they are great! This would have been a nice addition.

psychodelicide said:

I do indeed

They really polished up the old bootlegs nicely, but left this classic out.

blacksweat said:

U guys never share

blacksweat said:

He could be working with Revolution members to release the Dream Factory as one of those 10

With the VIBE magazine review of the Dream Factory with Lisa & Wendy

Just last year Dr Matt Fink said something on his blog about a maybe of the Dream Factory

And now this,
Ya never know
