[[Prince]] deliberately erased the recording, however, and recorded a new version (with less personal lyrics) the following day, [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 29|29 December 1986]], and [[Eric Leeds]] and [[Atlanta Bliss]] added horns soon afterwards. |
The original version was a solo recording dealing with [[Prince]]'s break-up with [[Susannah Melvoin]], and thanking [[Wally Safford]] for being his friend. He felt the song was too personal, however, and kept adding layers of percussion and changing the feel of the track. Engineer [[Susan Rogers]] pleaded with him to leave it as a barebones track, but he insisted on recording over all 24 tracks to erase it. He is believed to have kept the re-recorded version recorded the following day, although it is not known to have been included on any configuration of [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]], [[Album: Sign O' The Times|Sign O' The Times]] or any other project. | The original version was a solo recording dealing with [[Prince]]'s break-up with [[Susannah Melvoin]], and thanking [[Wally Safford]] for being his friend.
