I WONDER

Anyone got any info on the track 'I Wonder'?
I just got a cd and its on their along with other mid/late 80's stuff,so I'm guessing its from around that time.Unfortunately,the quality aint too good-but the song itself is AMAZING!!!
Oh,and I don't mean 'I Wonder U'.

"I Wonder" - 1991 - "Layered vocals by Prince, this excellent track concerns a man wondering if his lover knows how much he loves her since "a gust of southern wind" took her away. It's quite similar to "Elephants & Flowers" in vocal arrangement and melody."

Is it true that this track was going to be used as a Coca Cola theme?? I heard a rumour about that somewhere.

A GREAT example of why Prince to paraphrase a quote by, I believe, Eric Leeds, should "constitutionally be forbidden to have access to no more a 16-track machine" More often than not, the genius of Prince shines through and gets the hairs on the back of my neck raised when things are kept simple and free of tons of unnecessary production (think Emancipation or some parts of The Gold Experience)

"i wonder what grounds below her

I dated a girl (definitely NOT a Prince fan) who would literally SWOON over that line!! Which always worked out well for me!!
