When working on this further, it is unclear if, but plausible that they used the basic tracks recorded at [[First Avenue]] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_7|7 June]], but ended up overdubbing almost every part. |

Sessions with horn players and strings were organized and both [[Lisa Coleman]] and [[Jill Jones]] added a lead vocal to the track, replacing [[Prince]]’s vocals. [[Prince]] was not present for these sessions. Part of the strings that were recorded were later re-used for the opening of [[The Ladder]]. |

It is likely that it was planned for inclusion on the [[Prince and the Revolution]] album [[Album: Roadhouse Garden|Roadhouse Garden]] album worked on in 1998-9, but that album remained unreleased. |
− | Although tracked separately in the studio, the song seems to have purposively been conjoined with [[Roadhouse Garden]] when released as the fifth track on the second disc (titled ''From The Vault & Previously Unreleased'') of [[Album: Purple Rain Deluxe|Purple Rain ''Deluxe'']] in 2017 (as '''Our Destiny / [[Roadhouse Garden]]'''), emulating the live rendition of both, using the same four-on-the-floor bass drumbeat, performed as segueing into one another. It is unclear if this was originally intended by [[Prince]] for the studio version as well, or that it was only done as such before their inclusion on the second disc (titled ''From The Vault & Previously Unreleased'') of [[Album: Purple Rain Deluxe|Purple Rain ''Deluxe'']]. It has been suggested this was possibly the case as there was a limit set to the number of songs to be released on the bonus disc of the release. | + | Although tracked separately in the studio, the song seems to have purposively been conjoined with [[Roadhouse Garden]] when released as the fifth track on the second disc (titled ''From The Vault & Previously Unreleased'') of [[Album: Purple Rain Deluxe|Purple Rain ''Deluxe Expanded Edition'']] in 2017 (as '''Our Destiny / [[Roadhouse Garden]]'''), emulating the live rendition of both, using the same four-on-the-floor bass drumbeat, performed as segueing into one another.
