The Sun, The Moon And Stars is the eighth track (seventh song) on Prince’s 23rd album Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic (his sixth using the name ). An almost identical version, including an extra few seconds of ocean sounds at the fade-out, was included as the seventh track on the 2001 companion album Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic.

While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking likely took place in early 1999 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. String overdubs by the NPG Orchestra (orchestrated by Clare Fischer), were recorded in mid-1999 at O’Henry Sound Studios in Burbank, California. The Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic version was likely the full recording, edited slightly for its initial release on Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic.
