[Intro] 1, 2, 1, 2, 3
[Verse 1] There is a park that is known For the face it attracts Colorful people whose hair On one side is swept back The smile on their faces It speaks of profound inner peace Ask where they're going They'll tell you nowhere They've taken a lifetime lease On Paisley Park
[Chorus] The girl on the seesaw is laughing For love is the color This place imparts (Paisley Park) Admission is easy, just say you Believe and come to this Place in your heart Paisley Park is in your heart
[Verse 2] There is a woman who sits All alone by the pier Her husband was naughty And caused his wife so many tears He died without knowing forgiveness And now she is sad, so sad Maybe she'll come to the park And forgive him And life won't be so bad In Paisley Park
[Chorus] The girl on the seesaw is laughing For love is the color This place imparts (Paisley Park) Admission is easy, just say you Believe and come to this Place in your heart Paisley Park is in your heart
[Verse 3] See the man cry as the city Condemns where he lives Memories die but taxes He'll still have to give (Who) Whoever said that elephants Were stronger than mules? Come to the park And play with us There aren't any rules In Paisley Park
[Chorus] The girl on the seesaw is laughing For love is the color This place imparts (Paisley Park) Admission is easy, just say you Believe and come to this Place in your heart Paisley Park is in your heart The girl on the seesaw is laughing For love is the color This place imparts (Paisley Park) Admission is easy, just say you Believe and come to this Place in your heart Paisley Park is in your heart
[Outro] Your heart, your heart Paisley Park Your heart, your heart, your heart (sing, sing it) Paisley Park Paisley Park Paisley Park

Yeah...I didn't mean what was seen on the vinyls. I meant the original Psychedelic Paisley Park logo that had the "ATWIAD" font. From what I see, everything from "Graffiti Bridge" all the way to "The Hits/The B-Sides" just had the more formal two word "Paisley Park" logo. What you would see on cassettes or CDs. mediumdry said:
. The first album with eventual "normal" Paisley Park album was, I think, Camille. The first one released was Madhouse 8. . The last one was much later than Lovesexy though, as the label never changed after that for Paisley Park releases. It was certainly still used for the 1993 releases that were some of the last before the label was closed. . Unless you mean the label for ATWIAD, but that was simply a WB label with some nice makeup. Back in those days, WB spent a lot of money on all things prince. 1999, Purple Rain, ATWIAD and Parade all have wonderful artwork on the labels. (and even Morris's colour of success and the Time's Ice Cream Castle) . It wasn't until 1987 that Prince actually had his own label proper. And they used one label for all the releases, hardly changed at all over the years it was active. Exiles of the Nation
"Liquidation", the NEW 18th LP. Available everywhere now. https://youtube.com/chann...-ieACvEQMA | |

I wish that the 1982-1986 camp was still there to help express what Paisley Park the studio became.

P had seen too many sci-fi movies, such that he wanted to base his studio complex and home on a psychedelia concept. While somewhat vague, yes it was inspired by the Paisley Underground movement, whose own musings probably came from taking too many drugs, and yes it was conceptualized in the Paisley Park music video where kids are playing in a scene that looks out of Michael Jackson's Neverland. Basically he wanted to create his own personal Xanadu. But what we ended up with was Minecraft.
The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!
If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days... | |

Pp was really made after the fact. The idyllic universe it was meant to be, prince already had that before it was built. Dont think anyone can say pp improved his music. All his greatest work happened before pp. But maybe if he had a better design that would have helped lol |

lol this is true,
the outside design I never 'got it' I would always look at just | |

In fairness dont all studios look non descript? I guess the diff here is it's for an artist like prince so you expect something diff |

Not really, because what is the reason he chose that name for the song? Why Paisley? My guess: prince was very much a child of the 60s, looking up to the slightly older generation. | |

You're not talking to someone with a full deck. Obviously there is a reason beyond anything in an album's lyrics, nevermind the arrogance of suggesting what someone else "needs to know." He was calling the Washington warehouse, I believe, the same name for some time. Just kinda stuck since he was wearing lots of paisley at the time. This is the place where all of us congregate. Then he proceeded to write songs about this utopia. Roadhouse Garden first, then Paisley Park, and on. | |
