On episode 172 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, I discuss the lyrics to “The Dance Electric,” a song that Prince gave his friend and former bandmate, Andre Cymone. This Purple Rain Deluxe inclusion tells us that “it’s almost time to go.” Not exactly the uplifting message for a dance track, but is there more to the song than that?

On episode 171 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Leslie Ballard and I divide and conquer this medley from the Purple Rain Deluxe. “Our Destiny/Roadhouse Garden” has a storied past, having come from an infamous birthday show at First Ave in 1984 and likely recorded for other projects but never released as standalone songs.

On episode 168 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, I’m joined by Kevin Evans to chat about the emotionally charged ballad that almost made it into the Purple Rain film, “Electric Intercourse.” Did Prince make the right choice to write and record a new song for this slot in the movie? Let’s discuss how the lyrics give us insight into the right choice.
