You probably haven’t heard of Wendy Melvoin, but you have likely heard her.
In an interview with Vertex Effects, Wendy recalls a story of recording and adding her two cents to “Purple Rain.” The part of the interview that caught my ear was when she described Prince asking, “What are you all going to come with? What can you do? What’s your thing on this?”
Prince is life. (hehe…)
Each moment of each day life is asking you, “What are you going to come with? What can you do? What’s your thing in this moment?”
For Wendy in that moment, that was some very cool chorus effects and rethinking the harmonic rhythm Prince had put together.
For me in this moment, it’s rethinking that quote in the context of life and what it asks from us.
What is it for you? Right now?
What can you do?
What will you come with?
What’s your thing?
