"Its only mountains and the sea"

So, here's another post for a song from Parade.




I just remembered that when Prince was doing his most interesting music( befitting for a genius), 1986-1989 - he was getting more attention in Europe then in the U.S. . Frankly, if you wanna take it a step further, I think, at this point, of the Americans who were bothering to listen to him, there was a higher percentage of white Americans than black Americans listening to him ( except for me, D'Angelo & a couple other people ), despite the popularity & airplay of Adore on R&B radio.


Why listen to music with intoxicating musicianship, lyrics glorifying love & romance & sound like they come from a man with a working brain, when you can listen to vile things like N.W.A......






I also remember reading that a lot of what he was doing in the 90s was about getting more people in the black community to listen to him again.  I hope that's not true- with all the cartoonish "gangsta glam" of that era.  More Parade, less Diamond & Pearls/Symbol album please.
