It just gave me an incredible idea, so I spent many hours that night writing a song about some kind of crazy argument, and it was to become one of the most important of my songs." When she later went to record the song, she called [[Prince]] to tell him the story and twenty minutes later [[Prince]] showed up at her studio. He "walked over to the synthesizers that were set up, was absolutely brilliant for about 25 minutes and then left," she later told rock music journalist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_White_(editor) Timothy White]. "He spoiled me for every band I've ever had because nobody can exactly recreate – not even with two piano players – what [[Prince]] did all by his little self." |
