Kate Bush, "The Red Shoes" C/D?

She didn't really want him to do much: http://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/blog/how-prince-met-kate-bush-and-made-why-should-i-love-you.

Bush asked Prince to contribute a few background vocals to a song called “Why Should I Love You”, which she had just recorded in full at Abbey Road Studios. But when Prince received the track, he ignored the intructions and dismantled the entire thing like a crazed mechanic taking apart old cars on his backyard. He wanted to inject himself into the very heart of it, weaving his sound amongst her sound, giving it a new soul entirely. As Koppelman explains, “We essentially created a new song on a new piece of tape and then flew all of Kate's tracks back on top of it… Prince stacked a bunch of keys, guitars, bass, etc, on it, and then went to sing background vocals.”

Maybe she was just too polite to turn it down? (I actually like both versions, even though the Prince one is a little bonkers.)

the timeline of this doesn't really match up, but I wonder whether it was prince or kate who was responsible for the album version not being about sex with jesus

she's no good for you baby
she's no good for you now

oh look

where just a couple of pigeons are livin'

I really enjoyed that katherine thanks for writing it

absolutely love moments of pleasure

I’ve often thought of doing a poll: This Woman’s Work vs Moments of Pleasure. I would be upset if Moments lost... so no go.

belated, thanks!

my favorite track from this at the moment's probably lily, which says a lot about 2017

album has aged better than I expected; I loved it when it came out then went through a long period of thinking it was really duff. but really the only duff track on this is Constellation of the Heart I think, now.
