The Arms of Orion

"The Arms of Orion" is a 1989 song by Prince and Sheena Easton. It was the third single to be taken from Prince's 1989 "Batman" soundtrack album.
The song is a slow, romantic ballad that is accompanied mainly by the piano. Synthesizers also play a strong role throughout the song, programmed to emulate a string section. The track also uses a subdued drum machine loop, and samples of rain and thunder. The lyrics allude to the constellation of Orion. Prince had to surrender all publishing rights to the songs on the "Batman" album including "The Arms of Orion" to Warner Bros. as part of the deal to compose, perform, and produce the soundtrack.
