Empty Room - when exactly is it from? Just saw the video online and it looks like C&D/TGE-era... am I right?
This is a great track... would've fit perfectly onto C&D - such a shame it was never officially released. You guys got any info for me on this song??? |

mid 1980s i think and then re-worked in 1995 and very nearly released hence the video I guess. Someone like BorisFishpaw or langeblue may know exact details Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad. |

Prince wrote some songs for James L. Brooks's 1993 I'll Do Anything. "Empty Room" was one of them. "The Rest of My Life," and "My Little Pill" are 2 others. | |

No, the above reply is correct: it was written in the mid-80's, then reworked in the 90s for both I'll Do Anything, and (apparently) the video version. | |

He wrote it after a fight with Susannah, apparently. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

August 1985 Some people are like Slinkies...
They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs. | |

The 1995 version IS pretty much the 1985 version, as stated by Michael Bland on this website a couple of years ago. The 1993 "I´ll Do Anything" sessions version was a reworked and very short piano version. They used the 1985 version´s basic tracks for the 1995 version that could be seen and heard during the Ultimate Live Experience/Gold Experience tour in 1995.
They played that video and a couple of other videos on a silver screen before the concerts.(Zannalee, 18 & Over, Empty Room, Same December etc.). " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

Empty Room
Re-recorded for the I'll Do Anything soundtrack, this haunting, somber medium-paced rock song uses a three chord repetition with no chorus. Prince is wondering how he is going to fill his empty room after being deserted. A second version is closer to the original version recorded in 1985. DTT says this... | |
