All Over You

Good enough to have been on The Wild Heart? I think it is a lot of fun and would have been a funky addition. The lyrics are a throwaway, but that's just because she made them up on the spot. Unusual for Stevie. And it is a concrete product of her short collaberation with Prince. More substantive than that duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh sound he added to "Stand Back"

Love this song. Still wish she would record it today. Make it really funky. Maybe back in the day it could have been a big hit for her, but I'm sure she's way too goody-goody to do it now and it's permanently shelved.

I thought that wasn't Stevie after all?

I haven't heard a definitive answer either way. I can't tell if it really is her or not.

I forgot about this song. I love it! Why it never made the album I will never understand. I don't think she would ever do it today though.

Sure, it's her. They had to have recorded something together, as evidenced by this snippet about "A Thousand Days"

quote
"Days" recounts an abortive, all-night '80s recording session with him at his Minneapolis home during a Fleetwood Mac tour, climaxing with Nicks "smoking my pot - he didn't agree with my lifestyle - and going to sleep on Prince's floor in his kitchen.

I'm not sure it's her, but I like the song.

There's no question in my mind that it's her. It sounds exactly like her - especially at that time. And the doo-doo-doos are so reflective of the one's that are all over the Wild Heart album. Why people don't believe it's her I'll never understand. It's not like she did a porno and the image is all blurry.

I think she's singing on it, but there's no way that she wrote it. It screams of Prince and sounds like *nothing* Stevie would ever write. Even Prince websites have it listed as a song he wrote.

I listened to it again recently and I'm not so sure. It sounds like someone with a similar voice.

I don't have a problem with the lyrics. If it's her then that's fine with me.

This interview indicates otherwise with the following quote.

Quote:

Once we're there, he just wrote the song, playing the piano, saying to me, "You're writing the words." It was amazing. Then the air conditioning broke down, and I'm sitting in front of a fan telling him, "You have to make me a cassette -- I'm not going back without it." He did, we left, and the recording studio broke down completely. But the song was really neat. It was interesting, because it was real...disciplined.

She never gives the title of the song, but I don't know if the dots need to be connected that closely.

Seeing as how it was never released, with no official songwriting credit given, the Prince websites are likely just making an assumption what with all the songs that he has written for other artists.

Some parts are sketchy, but it sounds like she's in the mix somewhere on the "all over you"s and the herbal-essences-commercialesque moans. But people also think I'm crazy 'cause the guy going "open my windows and close my gate" sounds like Tom Petty to me

.

Stevie or not, I've always kinda liked it... it's a fun, only slightly raunchy, little song

It sounds nothing like anything on TWH.
