+ | |introduction = '''1000 Light Years From Here''' is a song originally recorded March 2010, in sessions that yielded material for the [[Album: Welcome 2 America|Welcome 2 America]] album. | ||
+ | |||
+ | While that album remained unreleased at the time, [[Prince]] updated the song at a later date by adding horns to it. And although it didn’t get a release under its own name it was used as unlisted coda attached to [[Black Muse]], the tenth track on [[Album: Hitnrun Phase Two|Hitnrun Phase Two]]; The last 3:05 minutes of [[Black Muse]] on that album are in fact '''1000 Light Years From Here'''. It is unknown why [[Prince]] chose to sequence this song and [[Black Muse]] as one track. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The initial version of the track with entirely different lyrics and arrangement was released as the fourth song of the tenth posthumous album [[Album: Welcome 2 America|Welcome 2 America]] (the first full previously-unreleased studio album of [[Prince]] material) in July 2021, 10 years after its original conception. Some lines of the song (''Good life, liberty, Innovation / Every child, no matter what color / Gettin' an education'') appeared in the [[Tourbook:_Welcome_2_America|Welcome 2 America Tourbook]] in 2010. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The song was recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March 11|11 March 2010]], at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (on the same day as [[Same Page, Different Book]]). It was worked further on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March 19|19 March 2010]], but likely not yet merged with [[Black Muse]] (which is listed on the same tape, along with a song called seemingly called [[Wud]]), at that time. The pairing of '''1000 Light Years From Here''' with [[Black Muse]] was likely done in 2015, preparing it for release on [[Album: Hitnrun Phase Two|Hitnrun Phase Two]]. | ||
