"All My Dreams" depicts everything that's genius about Prince.

This track is probably my favourite all time Prince song, and one of my all time favourite songs! What I would give to see it live!

This track has everything a Prince track should have! Sheer perfection!

I agree matty, wholeheartedly - probably my favorite unreleased track

it may not funk, but it's grand and full of mystique and romantic gesture

Prince didn't do it much better than that.

The funk is in there, but not everything Prince does is funk - and I guess that's why we like him, huh, because he does lots, and does it well smile

The music, especially in the beginning "I'll be there tonight...", always makes me feel like I'm a kid in the 40's or 50's at a big glamorous movie premiere. Like I'm...oh, Little Orphan Annie lol Anybody else get that vibe?

not many songs can make you feel like that - certainly not any of the crap you're hearing today

Great Prince, Wendy and Lisa song indeed.
Prince may be the purple Yoda, but Wendy & Lisa and Eric Leeds also sit on the Jedi Council.

ALL MY DREAMS


All my dreams
All my dreams, all my dreams

Ill see U 2night in all my dreams
All my dreams
My spirits in flight in all my dreams
All my dreams
A submarine valiantly conquers a virgin sea
A child is born, a child is born, will U marry me?

Ill teach U 2night (2night, 2night) in all my dreams
All my dreams
Ull be so surprised (surprised, surprised) at things Ull see
All my dreams
Africa, Capn Crunch, Norma Jean, Sex and Cheerios
Play my record double speed, feel the climax fit 4 a king

Just fun, nothing ethereal

Here ye, here ye, one and all
That the double speed playhouse is making a call

Welcome, this is where I live
This is where I dream my dreams
2night well make love until the world stops turning
Ure small but very strong
U move like a cat: quickly but gentle
So insane
He caressed her in her eyes/inner thighs
and licked her abdomen
She shivered with delight
Over and over she nibbled his ear
Ud think it was wrong 2 have so much fun
He held her tightly until it almost hurt
But his hips, they moved so slowly
She wanted 2 stop breathing
U can feel every curve of her womanhood
U can see every thought in his brain
A submarine slowly moves through the virgin sea
Oh so slowly
She wants 2 stop breathing
U... U can feel every curve

Lisa, Im gonna give U the brush and Ure gonna paint the side of the train

She squeezes tighter as the submarine goes deeper in depth
Into the unnavigated territory
A smile, ever so slight, appears on his face as she starts 2 cry
Until they come, 2gether, slowly
They wish 4 somethin, as if they could see a parallel future in the sea
They do not speak
They only stare out the moment in time


Marry me 2day and 2night well make love until the world stops turning
(Im dreaming of a world)
(Wherein there shines the sun)
(Wherein there lay the stars)
(Wherein there lie the stones)
Gentle, but quickly

Well travel 2night in all my dreams
All my dreams

All my dreams, all my dreams
Goodness will guide us if love is inside us
The colors are brighter, the bond is much tighter
U know no childs a failure
Until the blue sailboat sails him away from his dreams
Dont ever lose, dont ever lose
Dont ever lose your dreams
Yeah!


=====

SuckerPunch&ABowlOfChocolateCherries that's the groove.
Those lyrics are the epitome of Prince for me. They do
represent any and everything that made me become a fan
of Prince's music.

Plus the changes within the song and the way it always
gets back to the initial lead-pattern, seemingly without
a hint of trouble. effortlessly. As if he could do it
again and again.

The groaning voice, the trainstation noizes, the vocals
of Wendy and Lisa [of whom I'm not usually an adept] &
the piano. THE PIANO. ::swoon:: the piano.

And then to top it all off, there's


They wish 4 somethin,
as if they could see a parallel future in the sea
They do not speak
They only stare out the moment in time... ...



Urgh. I think I just creamed a brand new pair of boxers.

What a rush. Yes, indeed, I love this song. I truly do.

Coupled with "Old Friends 4 Sale", it could have lifted
Parade to heights beyond comprehension.

The album is already otherworldly as it is, but with the
inclusion of those two songs, it would have been stellar.

Listening to those two songs back 2 back, the way they
were printed on the JewelBox outtakes set initially, it
is a true shock to realise this material was deemed unfit
for this, or any other album.

Oh shit, include "Others Here With Us" remaster the lot,
and release them on a special edition remastered Parade.

I would listen to my speakers until the last note of his
voice had lost it's resonance, until my ears were empty
but for serotonine drops which danced, all around my head
in frenzy, whispering his name with some curriculum of
ancient science.

Shooks. See, that's what Parade makes me do. It makes me
go all potty.

My heart sank to uncharted depts when I heard the narrator
from this song tagged at the end of "Acknowledge Me" and I
thought to myself "fucking hell, he's never gonna release
it now".

I've been a fan since 1982, and heard this song for the first time only this month. (THANKS2UKNOWWHOUARE!)

Incredible! Love it!!!

I COMPLETELY agree with MattyJam, IstenSzek and BananaCologne.

I must admit that my first listen made me a bit sad, thinking how far away the days of the that song are.
let me come over it's a beautiful day to play with you in the dark
