Paul Peterson to learn, but Peterson’s lack of enthusiasm for the track led to Prince dropping the idea (the track was later sent to Kenny Rogers, who re-recorded it and released it on his 1986 album They Don’t Make Them Like They Used To). Prince also sent the 1982 track You’re My Love to St. Paul Peterson objected to some of the more explicit lyrics in Feline, leading to Prince removing the track from the project (some of the lyrics were reworked and used in Holly Rock). Other tracks recorded for the album include Feline (recorded in mid-July 1984) and Miss Understood (recorded in the second week of August 1984). Orchestral overdubs by Clare Fischer also took place in late 1984 to early 1985, and mixing taking place in April and May 1985. Paul Peterson were added in late 1984 or early 1985. Lisa (later renamed Yes) and River Run Dry were recorded in early August 1984 while The Screams Of Passion followed in mid-August 1984 (a year to the day before the album’s release). Nothing Compares 2 U was recorded in mid-July 1984. High Fashion, Mutiny, Mazarati (later renamed Susannah’s Pajamas), and Desire were the first tracks recorded for the album in late June 1984. Recording took place in late June and the first two weeks of August 1984. This album is also the second album, after Prince and the Revolution’s Around The World In A Day), to be released on Paisley Park (records). This album was the first Prince-related release to feature saxophone by Eric Leeds and string orchestration by Clare Fischer. wrote the remaining track, River Run Dry).

Australia cannot afford to lose this fight. The Barkindji cannot afford to lose this fight. This film is both a celebration of the resilience of people and nature, and a call to arms. It will shine a light on what is happening and manifest how we, as a country, need to bring this immense, beautiful and remote river system back from the brink of catastrophe. When the River Runs Dry is a pivotal moment in Australia’s environmental history. The Barkindji survived because of the Barka, the Darling River, and now, due to the decimation of this vital river system, it is being taken from them and they no longer feel connected to their dreaming, their totems, or their culture. The film brings Indigenous voices to the fore in the form of the Barkindji, the people of the River, who, after one hundred and seventy years, have become dispossessed and marginalised. When the River Runs Dry shines a spotlight on the appalling plans of the NSW Government, the big-business greed selling of water, and the Murray Darling Basin Management who are responsible for implementing those plans, which will culminate in the ‘decommissioning’ of the Menindee Lakes, a 30-million-year-old lake system. Who was to blame? And what could be done? News that the Darling River, or Barka, as it is known to its people, was in a state of ecological collapse had disappeared from the media and, although people were shouting about what was happening, no one was listening. Australians were horrified, and politicians blamed drought, while ecologists and water management specialists claimed it was due to the over-allocation and over-extraction of water. In January 2019, a viral video showed grown men near Menindee weeping as they held dead Murray Cod, decades old, which had perished in yet another environmental disaster. With water rights and security becoming increasingly vital issues for communities, When the River Runs Dry offers hope for a better water future. An Australian-made exploration of the rules governing the Murray Darling Basin and how they are destroying the environment, causing extinction-level events, and displacing communities.
