Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986
“Mountains” is a 1986 song by Prince and The Revolution, from the album Parade, the soundtrack to the film Under the Cherry Moon. It was written by The Revolution members Wendy & Lisa together with Prince. The extended 12″ single version of the song runs for nearly ten minutes.
It reached number 23 in the US but only 45 in the UK. The B-side was the instrumental “Alexa de Paris”, one of the few tracks from this project featuring a guitar solo. Both songs appear in the film Under the Cherry Moon, with the video for “Mountains” playing as the credits roll. The version shown on MTV to promote the single was in color as opposed to the film’s black-and-white version.
