When Doves Cry

What is your favourite thing about 'When Doves Cry'? Mine is the part where the guitar solo comes in

Mine is the part when The Kid an Apollonia are naked in the barn... it made me really want to see Purple Rain, back in 84.

As far as the song goes: the chorus is pretty special. Modernist writes empathetic lyric shocker!

hell this is the crown jewel of all Prince songs,

there's so many "fave parts"

the guitar intro

the synth 'line'

the dry drum-machine sound (without any bassline)

the guitar solo in the middle of the song

the synth solo at the end

the 'heart broken' lyrics (how can u just leave me standing alone in a world that's so cold)

the Prince screams

of course it's a masterpiece,

according to Rolling Stone: the best selling single in 1984 (in the US).

am i the only one that doesnt really like when doves cry? maybe its just because ive heard it a million times, and it gets played all the time, but its probably my least favorite from purple rain

Bogey and Bacall, peanut butter and jelly, Wall being on fucking point, is "classic" dipshit. An iphone is top shelf technology. Get it straight. This thing is 4g. -Wall the great

The very first notes... then the screams at the end cool

Yeah, I love Graffiti Bridge movie, so what? ''Oooooooooooh Montreal, say it!''
If you can't be nice to someone on the net, you probably ain't worth much talking to in real life either.

The third chorus, when Prince's lead-line is riffing over top. Especially in the video - we've been watching all these nice images of Purple Rain and Prince in a bathtub, when all of a sudden - holy shit! - we're trapped in a white room with the Revolution, and they're looking right at us! And now, they're dancing toward us!! AAUUUGGGHH!!!!!! omfg

I still think that's one of the best edits in any music video, ever. cool
