"Mountains" appreciation thread!! Best. Song. Ever. I think it's his best, imo. I absolutely can not get enough of this song. It has so much atmosphere in it, it's just so perfect. Who else appreciates this brilliant gem? | |

Oops. Thought this was going to be a Carmen Electra photo thread. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

^ The recent acoustic performance was really refreshing. I've played it a lot. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Very good '86 song! Man did that Revolution kicked ass then! Indeed the 12" is a classic.

moderatorThis for me is one of the most 'perfect' Prince songs.
It captures pure exuberance for life and is still as fresh and spontanious as the first time I heard it. He's wrting and composing style sounds so natural you can almost feel lost in the music. I LOVE IT! Shut up already, damn. | |

The album version of the song is good, but the 10 minute version on the 12-inch is simply great.
Not thoroughly original (he must have listened to Sly Stones I want to take you higher a lot), but nonetheless colourfull, funky and building up to a great climax. | |
