Songfacts®:

• This folk-funk hybrid from Lenny Kravitz' sophomore album was originally recorded by the New York Rock and Roll Ensemble in 1971.
• This features a guitar solo by Slash of Guns N' Roses. Slash and Kravitz were classmates at Beverly Hills High School, but only knew each other in passing. When Slash expressed interest in playing on one of his records, Kravitz thought of a solo he had reserved for Jimmy Page. "I couldn't get him, so I thought Slash'd be the next best cat," he told Sounds in 1990. "He played his ass off on it. Unbelievable. It's the best I've ever heard him play."
• Slash also co-wrote and played on the album's lead single, "Always on the Run."
• The dreamy lyrics find Kravitz leaving all his troubles behind to wander through the fields with his lover. At the time, the singer was married to Cosby Show actress Lisa Bonet. Their on-the-rocks romance inspired the album's big hit, "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over."
