Always more left unsaid. But yes, there has to be a connection. Trying to decipher 17 Days:

Anyways, listening more to some of Prince's unreleased/demo tracks as they pop up online. Cool to hear where demos start before they are fully realized. His range in style was truly incredible.
Check out his 17 Days demo:

Can you not see Stevie dancing around and grooving to this?! I know I am.
