I become a different person, and I like that, because usually I make up my own characters, but the lady in ‘Stand Back’ was not my idea. I’ve never quite understood this sound, but I have never questioned it. ‘Stand Back’ has always been my favorite song onstage because when it starts, it has an energy that comes from somewhere unknown, and it seems to have no timespace. Fleetwood Mac does it also, and I never get tired of it. It just gave me an incredible idea, so I spent many hours that night writing a song about some kind of crazy argument, and it was to become one of the most important of my songs. We were driving to Santa Barbara and a new Prince song came on, so we pulled over somewhere and got the tape.

But Sandy and I rushed to the studio anyway, thinking ‘what if he comes, what are we going to show him. Anyway, me being one of the more honest people you’ll ever meet, I immediately call Prince and tell him what I had written and how and he, against everybody’s thinking he wouldn’t, came down and played on this song! My intuitions are usually right and since he told me he was doing the video of ‘Little Red Corvette’ that day, and since I know videos and films always take a lot longer than anybody thinks, I didn’t think he’d show up. “Right after I got married, I heard this wonderful song Prince had done called ‘Little Red Corvette,’ and as soon as I heard it I went, ‘Boy, I love that.’ And I just started humming to myself, and in a matter of minutes, I had hummed along a very different melody than what Prince had done. “Stand Back” is Track 6 on The Wild Heart, following “Nightbird” and preceding “I Will Run to You.” About the Song
