about

Becca:
T​his is my favorite song off of Prince & the Revolution's Purple Rain. When Gretchen mentioned it as an idea for Tillery, I got cover-chills (the goosebumps you get when you realize that you wanna cover something). We dove in right then. This is one of the only songs on the record that we arranged together.

Rebecca:
This was a cover that Gretchen brought in one weekend when visiting upstate. The three of us started playing around with the arrangement around the kitchen table on a Sunday, before they all had to return to NYC. It was this cover, I remember thinking - that the transformation was so Tillery and I felt we were at a point in our collaboration where we could take any song and make it into ours.

Gretchen:
i remember sitting around rebecca’s kitchen table saying outloud “we should do a pop cover, like take me with u, or something like that” and then we realized there was no “something like that”, we’d found the song right there! we created our arrangement together, it was a great collective effort.

lyrics

TAKE ME WITH U
Prince Rogers Nelson

I can’t disguise the pounding of my heart
It beats so strong
It’s in your eyes what can I say
They turn me on

Come on and touch the place in me
That’s calling out your name
We want each other oh so much
Why must we play this game

I don’t care where we go
I don’t care what we do
I don’t care pretty baby
Just take me with u.

2 be around you is so right
You’re sheer perfection
Drive me crazy
Drive me all night
Just don’t break down the connection

I don’t care if we spend the night at your mansion
I don’t care if we spend the night on the town
All I want is 2 spend the night together
All I want is 2 spend the night in your arms.
