|introduction              = '''Still Would Stand All Time''' is the 15th track on [[Prince]]’s twelfth album [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]]. The song is also featured in the movie [[Film: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]].

Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October_6|6 October 1988]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during two days off from the [[Lovesexy Tour]], between shows in [[05_October 1988|Toronto, ON, Canada]] and [[08_October 1988|Hampton, VA, USA]], on the same day as [[Elephants & Flowers]]). 

The original version featured [[Prince]] on background vocals, but vocal overdubs by [[The Steeles]], [[The Time]] and [[Jill Jones]] were added at some point in 1989 or early 1990. The original version was initially included on a configuration of the [[Album: Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic|Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic]] album, dated [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October 27|27 October 1988]], and was included as the eighth track on the late 1988 - early 1989 configuration. 

At one point in early 1989 it was considered for the [[Album: Batman|Batman]] album, but was replaced by [[Scandalous]]. It was not included on a late 1989 configuration of [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]], but replaced [[The Grand Progression]] as the 15th track on a 1990 configuration of the album, where it remained for release.

[[Prince]] had begun performing the song live before its initial recording, even teaching the band the song on the spot during the [[19_August 1988-am|19 August 1988 (a.m.): Paard van Troje, the Hague, The Netherlands]] one-off concert.
